XP System32 Drivers Question Please
I understand that the driver files that XP uses for my Samsung CDRW are
located in the Windows/ system32/drivers folder. I think my driver folder might be corrupted by some InCD files left in it after an uninstall of InCD. Can I delete the entire system32 driver folder and will XP rebuild it fresh on a reboot? I sure don't want to do this if XP doesn't rebuild this folder :-) But if it does, doing this might solve an issue for me with my CDRW drive by giving me a pristine driver folder so that I can then uninstall the device, have XP recognize it on reboot and reinstall the default driver. Reason I'm considering doing this is that there is an InCD file showing (InCDPass.sys) in my XP driver files for the CDRW when pulled up in device manager. I am having some issues, but I have no way of knowing if this file is the culprit or not. There are 3 InCD files in the system32 driver folder (InCDfs) (InCDPass) and (InCDrec). Only InCDPass is showing up in device manager for the drive. Also, if some kind soul with a Samsung CDRW would look and tell me if there is an InCDPass file in their device manager for their drive, that would help a lot also. Note; already did a system restore. What I need to know really is whether these InCD files should be there, and if not, how to get a pristine driver folder again in XP? Thanks much, Dudley |
