| Vista Ultimate x64 | Stopping Windows From Installing Drivers Bouf! I've tried stopping Windows from automatically installing/re-installing my built-in webcam's driver, but it still installs it. I know you could set it to "ask me" or "never check" on the "Hardware" tab in "System" but nevertheless it still does. Anyway to stop it completely? I don't want to disable it only, I just want to completely remove it. Thanks! |

The only way is to disable the built-in device from the PCs (laptop) BIOS. |

| | Re: Stopping Windows From Installing Drivers Unfortunately this is how it works in Vista & win7. After uninstalling a driver, the system immediately tries to restore the previous one (unlike XP which just leaves the driver uninstalled). So the only solution is to disable the device, or install a "null" driver. --pa "Mitzidupree" <guest@newsgroup-email.com> wrote in message news:2b7d510812add51f027dabfc23dbca01@newsgroup-gateway.com...
