If your computer is arbitrarily outing drivers and files and stuff in its quest to free up space, and not your idea, you've got a much larger problem and need to find it (virus? hard drive?). But if its you freeing up space and mistakenly outed a driver, you'll need to go through the process priviously stated, and have to get the driver off of... where ever it came from (OS CD supplied with PC? Seperate CD for the drive? Online from the manufacturer website?). You may be able to get it back from a system restore, but once you've outed the driver, that usually doesn't work - never has for me. And just because it quit working doesn't mean thats what happened. Have you added software or a device since the last time it worked that you can recall? You may have a device address problem/conflict. If thats the case, try removing it by using the "remove" program from the install CD - works better than "remove" from add/remove programs through control panal, then do a defrag. Job one, go through device manager as suggested, and see what you've got. Mark
