Do drivers re-install themselves, for hardware that came with the pc?
Here's why I ask... Recently, I had a nic problem - intermediate drivers weren't loading for DSL connectivity. I uninstalled what NIC drivers were loaded, re-booted, and everything loaded properly. No 'new hardware found'; nothin'. Just total driver re-install, and problem gone.
Now, I'm havin' printer (that came with the pc) problems, after re-fillin' a cartridge. I'm tryin' to get everything lexmark out of the machine, to re-load the software. Some of the lexmark registry keys don't wanna' delete. And it's still showin' up in tasman processes. It seems like the printer programs are re-loadin' themselves.
Are drivers part of the bios, that they can re-install themselves?
