Click Start,type 'System' in the search box. When System Information
comes up, double click on it. Click on the + in front of Components,
locate either CD-ROM or DVD then in the right window pane check to be
sure it is the right device if you have optical devices, then at the
bottom locate the name and location of it's driver.
Now go to the folder the driver Vista said the driver is located in,
right click on the file, properties, rename... simply put a X in front
of the name.
This should prevent Windows from finding the old corrupted version at
boot. Now reboot and it should bring up the found new hardware box and
it should ask you to insert the CD with the driver for your device.
