Hi all-

I have a general question about updating drivers for hardware. What is the
best way to update them? Is it enough just to go to "update driver" in the
device control panel, or do you need to completely uninstall the hardware
and eradicate the old drivers first? I have some hardware that Windows
really wants to see, and it reloads the drivers from it's own database as
soon as it is unistalled.  These specific drivers are for Crystal Sound PCI
chipset on the motherboard (Intel Seattle SE440BX). They are not really
causing me any problems, but I have to have them disabled as I use a
Soundblaster Live as my sound device, and the game/midi port conflicts with
an installed joystick. So, Is there a better way around this, and for
future reference, when updating any other drivers, what is the best method
to use? Thanks.
