Is it possible to permanently roll back a video driver?

I was experienceing sever performance issue, and thanks to advice I found on this forum I solved the problem by rolling back my video driver. For reasons I cannot explain, the driver seems to upgrade through no action on my part. Can this be prevented?

>non-Windows drivers routinely updated
I can't speak to "all" drivers, but I do know that my nVidia GTX285 stopped working properly when WinUpdate included driver 306.97 as a "critical" update, even though I had the nVidia control panel set to NOT search for updates
I had to manually remove 306.97 and reinstall 296.10 to get my GTX285 to work properly again... and then told WinUpdate to hide the 306.97 update... I think I also had to switch WinUpdate from automatic mode to "tell me" mode to be able to select and hide the 306.97 update
I have NO idea why WinUpdate selected the 306.97 driver as critical and necessary for an automatic update
Also, to see your actual driver number, not just a date...
Right click anywhere on your desktop
Select nVidia Control Panel in the popup window
Click the information link in the bottom left of the new popup window
Also select the option to never check for updates

  • Is there any possible way to roll back version 5 of Firefox? cause v6 kinda slows my system, and sometimes ends up freezing.

    Don't ask anymore questions about my add-ons, or whatever stuffs. I just want to know how can I roll back to the older version, PEROD.

    Unfortunately your suggestions didn't help me, although I really do appreciate your efforts. Finally I found a solution myself, thanks to the internet: it appears to be a problem, caused by Adobe's Flash Player The solution is described in this video, including the corresponding links to download a new flash player. It works fine for me: I installed it last saturday and not any strange behaviour so far: my G5 PowerPC quad with OSX 10.5.8 yet can view all kinds of videos and websites 'like in the earlier days' and so far no annoying pop ups ;-)

  • Is 'rolling back' possible?

    Would like to do an OS roll back to 3.1.2. Is it actually possible and if so how? I have no backups prior to 3.1.3 so can't do a system restore.

    Having a problem ever since I updated with 3.1.3. I posted to another thread this morning, but the short of it is that ever since the update, my ipod won't rotate the screen when trying to go to landscape mode. For youtube it will work fine, but if I'm using Safari and rotate the ipod, it won't work, nor will it work for any applications that require tilting or turning. Also been having a LOT of freezing up and crashing which can only be resolved with a reboot. I tried a system restore but that didn't work. I've only found one other person who's having this same issue, and can't seem to find any answers anywhere. I thought if I could try to downgrade to the previous OS and see if that fixes it, then I'd know it's not my ipod itself, but the software acting up.

  • After sorting my pictures into albums, I  deleted them from the camera roll, now they're all gone. Including the ones filed in the albums. Would it be possible to get them back ?

    after sorting my pictures into albums, I deleted them from the camera roll, includings the ones filed in the albums. Would it e possible to get them back ?

    A photo in the Camera Roll cannot be in an album unless the photo remains in the Camera Roll. Photos in an album or not duplicated. A photo in an album includes a pointer to the original photo stored in the Camera Roll. The Camera Roll is for temporary storage. Photos/videos can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    The Camera Roll is included with your iPhone's backup. If your iPhone's backup has been updated to include all photos that were in the Camera Roll and has not been updated since the photos were deleted, you can try restoring your iPhone from your iPhone's backup. Do not update your iPhone's backup before doing so and decline the prompt to update your iPhone's backup as the first step after selecting Restore.

  • My Ipod Classic (160G) no longer synchs completely with iTunes (93G).  Have reset and restored to no avail.  AM about to try roll back to a previous version of iTunes, which has been on auto update.

    My iPod Classic (160G) used to sync flawlessly with iTunes (93G).
    Recently, there seem to be fewer folders syncing.  In particular, it is not syncing more recent adds.  It also occassionally refuses to sync at least one mp3 downloaded from  Amazon.com, giving an unable to sync message with an error code or 50.
    I'm running iTunes version 10.7, and the software (2.04) on myiPod is current.
    I only use the iPod for music.  I have only one playlist.
    Reset and restore did not fix the problem; I'm considering rolling back to a previous version of iTunes.  Are there any other  ideas to consider? 
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    R

    giving an unable to sync message with an error code or 50
    See this older thread for some possible solutions.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3924425?tstart=0
    iTunes and its sync process with your iPod have been know to choke once the amount of data that needs to be transferred, replaced, or updated, reaches a certain size limit in GBs.

  • Rolling Back Closed Period

    Folks,
    I'm trying to post the GR thru MIGO for the scheduling agreements and I'm getting this error:
    "Posting only possible in periods 2009/04 and 2009/03 in company code____"
    I'm trying to post in the current month " Jan 2009".
    I checked OMSY and current period is 042009.
    I know we can close the periods thru MMPV/MMPI but in this case these periods are already closed and current open period is only two months after (042009).
    Is there any way we can roll back to the closes periods and posting can be done in the existing period??
    We are in our dev environment but any heads up of this would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Cheers,
    Dhaval

    Hey there,
    Thanks for the heads up. However I think that MMRV will only allow posting in the previous closed period which in this case would be 032009.
    But I'm not sure if this will help me if I would want to post in 012009 or 022009.
    I'd appreciate if you could shed some more light on this.
    cheers.

  • How Can I Roll Back my iTunes Library?

    I'm guessing it may no tbe possible at all, but here goes.
    What I would like to do with my music estate is roll back my current iTunes library file, automatically updated to iTunes 11 when updated on MPBr when this was my only PC using iTunes. Now I have three and some iOS devices too. My library has been moved from windows machines to macs and is several years old and has received 100s of hours of tweaking to get it just right.
    Now my server is a PowerPC mac and I can only go as far as iTunes 10.6.xx, I want this to be always on and share the library with other PCs accross home sharing (i will sync iPhones over the wi-fi with this PC too, though it may not play with iOS7, so perhaps not).
    I want to see the iTunes library on the macbooks, probably through Home Sharing, I also want to be able to sync the iphones, but only have a single copy of the music files on the server. is this possible? This will just be for when out of the house as I can also use home sharing in the house for music.
    Thanks

    You say you want to do this with multiple devices.  Let's say you have a new iPhone 5 that requires iTunes 11. You will not be able to sync that if your base iTunes is iTunes 10.6 since your hardware will require at least whatever version of iTunes was current at the time of purchase.  You're seeing this with your iOS7 phone.  Anyway, unless all your hardware is old enough to use the lowest version of iTunes you need to run, you may be out of luck.  You cannot share the library.  Sharing media is different, and relatively easy, but it will be complex to ensure all the multiple libraries are kept up to date.
    You also can't roll back iTunes libraries to earlier versions unless you kept a backup of your library from the point to which you wish to revert, or it is still in the previous libraries folder.

  • Desperate for easy way to roll back 5.1 firmware to a previous version?

    The company I work for uses a proprietary iPod Touch app for data management. I have a 3rd gen iPod Touch that I updated to firmware 5.1. I don't think many people in the company keep up with firmware updates like I do. However that may now be to their advantage because we had an app software update about the time the firmware update happened and my app no longer works like it should - I am one of very few employees, nation wide, that has this problem. I think it has to do with an incompatability of the app software and the 5.1 firmware.  I really need to be able to use the app to it's fullest capacity. Its  been weeks and the company hasn't fixed the problem so I'm seeking  answers of my own.
    Is there a simple way to roll back the firmwareto 5.0 or before the cloud software came out (I don't know what version that would be)??? or is it permanent?
    I use a Microsoft based notebook for my iPod/iTunes managment so answers gear to a Mac won't necessarily make sense to me.
    Thank you!!

    "apple" doesnt support downgrade of any software..but there are other ways to do it..u know wat i mean rite

    Hi Muthu,
    from looking into SQLStateManager.updatePersistent, I doubt that we can run into an NPE here.
    Can you please send us the entire log file? BTW: It would be much easier for me to help you, if I could see line the numbers in the stack trace. Would it be possible for you to get an non
    optimized build and rerun your application?
    Thank you,

  • Acrobat Pro 10 will not install keeps rolling back

    I am attempting to install Adobe Acrobat X on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine, it will not install, gets all the way to the end and then just starts rolling back says the installation was interrupted and that no changes were made to the system.
    I ran the msi from the command line with verbose logging on to see if I could figure out where it fails but couldn't find the error (towards the end it lists many errors but it seems to just be a list of possible errors, not sure but I definately have admin right and ran the msi as an admin so at least those two don't make sense).
    I don't understand why its not installing but I'm really ticked its not at least telling me why its not installing. I had adobe reader and flash on the computer and I was afraid they might be newer versions than just straight Pro X so I uninstalled everything adobe on the computer and it still won't install the Pro X.
    Can someone take a look at my log file and see if they can tell what I'm doing wrong? It would be very appreciated.
    Thanks, SW.

  • Send Idoc to SAP in sequence and roll back if the last one fails

    Hi All
    I have a scenario like this.
    System Ajore --> XI - > R/3
    Ajore is a manufacturing system
    Send material from Ajore to SAP through XI and create MATMAS idoc in SAP
    Send change number from the Ajore to SAP through XI and create ECMMAS idoc in SAP
    Send Bill of materials from the Ajore to SAP through XI and create BOMMAT idoc in SAP
    All these will should be send in the sequence MATMAS, ECMMAS, BOMMAT to SAP. How can I achieve the sequence operation through XI?
    Second challenge is when I send the BOMMAT to SAP and if it fails, then all the processed MATMAS, ECMMAS sent to SAP should be rolled back.
    Is it possible to achieve using XI?
    The reqmt is very urgent. Any help is really appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ricky

    Hi Satish,
    Thanks for the reply. Do I need to do event driven message processsing in XI for this? The other way is to schedule the RBDAPP01 in R/3 to post idocs in sequence based on the message type and Partner number
    Does this makes sense?
    And any idea bout the second question for roll back?
    Thanks

  • Can we roll back an activity that has already been checked-in?

    Hi Friends,
    I have created an activity,performed a few alterations and checked-in the activity.
    Now i want to revert this activity so that i can cancel all my operations performed under this activity.
    So is it possible to roll back an activity that has already been checked-in?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks and regards,
    Chandrashekar.

    Hi,
    As such you cant rollback an activated activity , what you can do is check out the source prior to that activity and then create a new activity and check in the source. Once this is done your previous code will be overridden.
