I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a file or something, of all my drivers, or where they would be located, so I can format my drive and re-install my OS. I just remember the last time it was a pain in the butt finding some of the drivers for this crap box here at work. It would be easy if I could just save them to disk and than copy them back to the respectful directories.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi guys

Yes - above all else, a directory should be respectful.

Been meaning to try DGT - just got a copy now, thanks Mesich.

Hello everyone,

I tried it out also for the first time this morning. I checked many of the folders with the backup and they all contained the correct files along with the .inf files. It's a trial version but one should not need to have the program to reinstall the drivers.

I am going to test it out on a Win98 system after doing a clean install later. Looks like it should work like a charm. I'll let you know the results.

I don't mind the $19.95 if it does as I believe it will. I spent that in aspirin hunting for different drivers before. :-))

Best Regards,
Mesich
