To reinstall a device driver for a factory-installed device, do the following:
1. Turn on your computer.
2. Go to the
C:\SWTOOLS
directory.
3. Open the DRIVERS folder. The folder contains several subfolders named for the various devices

4. Open the subfolder for the device.
5. Reinstall the device driver by one of the following methods:
