![]() So how do you get around this? Well the first step would be to delete all the cached files on the base image PC. Again, I will go into more depth with this in a later issue but this is one of the underlying issues for cloning to different sets of hardware. Windows XP has now installed the wrong driver because the driver said it was good for this card. The issue with doing this is that card 1234-5678-5678-5678 does require its specific driver and not this “generic” driver, see where this is going yet? So we have a computer with the video card PNPID of 1234-1234-1234-1234 and we clone it to a computer with a video card with the PNPID of 1234-5678-5678-5678, what does Windows XP do? First off it will go looking for the driver and find that the driver that is already installed will work for this new card and will start using this generic driver. sys files and hand them off to you and they will always work, it’s less work on their side. They do this so that all they have to do is update the. sys files and will “work” with any of their hardware. This is very common for hardware makers to do as they now have one inf file that often even points to the same. The then come out with an inf that has a generic PNPID contained in it for all 1234-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx cards. I will get into PNPID’s in another issue but for now lets just say that company A writes a driver for a video card with the PNPID of 1234-1234-1234-1234 and also writes a driver for the PNPID 1234-5678-5678-5678. This feature is great, but there is one huge setback to it, companies that write driver inf’s that are “generic”. When Windows XP detects new hardware it starts looking for drivers in some default areas before it prompts the user for drivers.
