Soundcard always reinstalling older drivers

dipstick · Oct 7, 2002, 04:02 PM

I did the mistake of not disconnecting my web access while installing the latest sound card drivers and it installed the older ones off Windows Update. Now I unistall everything, do a search and delete all Hercules folders and clean the registry. I also disconnect the internet cable from my PC but it still installs the the same older drivers. Does anyone know where these Windows Update drivers are hiding at and how I can get rid of them for good? Thanks for any help

Device Manager - click on device, update driver.
Click Have Disk and then point to location of your drivers.

I have disabled automatic updating from Windows Update.
