Hi David, for what it's worth; If you'd like to be able to preserve the
drivers on a machine of yours or one you service; you might like to give
Double Driver a run. I've had great succes with it since v3; and I don't
have anything to do with it aside from being a happy user.

It's a real time saver if your going to be reloading a system; You can
backup all the drivers it has, and put them right back onto the new OS. :)

Thanks. I'll take it under advisement.

I have compiled driver disks for the major manufacturers and some assorted
ones for various video cards, etc. But yours sounds like a much better
solution. Thanks.
