Problem Re-Downloading Driver from windows update
I have a laptop with a radeon Mobile 9600 recently updated to windows 7 form XP.
Originally windows update found a driver for my card and installed it with played video good and allowed for aero. Following the advice of another I updated my driver with the one from my laptop manufacturer, however it was a windows vista driver. In order to install that driver I had to Uninstall the one form windows update preventing me form using rollback. After installation I lost aero features and my video playback suffered. I want to go back to the driver form windows update until a win7 driver is made.
That is where the problem starts... Windows won't Find the driver when I search using update driver. Windows update shows that the driver is installed so it won't re-download. Also it isn't in the Installed Updates so i can't seem to make windows uninstall it.
Only info i have to go on is i found this in the log in the
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder
Installation successful and restart required for the following update: ATI Technologies Inc. - Display - ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series

i tried searching my computer and the registry for any of the info learned form this but found only a dead end.
Does anyone have a thought that might allow me to remove the download form my update history so i can re-install the driver without re-installing win7?
