DriverHeaven.net - View Single Post - Upgrade Primary driver only to keep SP WDM

Hello ROBSCIX,

and thanks for your answer!
The problem is this:

- first, you are right, I have an All-in-Wonder X800XT;

- so at the moment I am using Catalyst 5.10 with the analog WDM SP Drivers (6246) (except for the TV Tuner Driver, where I used the one on my CD (6290)) and MMC 9.03.

This is working perfectly,

BUT...

everywhere I read that it is impossible to keep the individual WDM Drivers (SP or NSP) with the latest Catalysts (6.3 and up), because they are insisting on that single so called "T200 Unified AVStream Driver"...

And I would like to upgrade my Catalysts of course, but I do not want to use this Unified Driver, or even the NSP Drivers, because of all the associated disadvantages...

So my idea was, that since the secondary driver controls the VIVO features, to update only the primary driver, but you are saying this is not possible?... I thought it would be possible, because when uninstalling them you can choose to keep one or the other, although usually you uninstall them both of course. If this could be done, then you could simply keep the secondary at 6.2 or below and the primary, that controls the 3D functions, at the latest available!

Do you know any solutions to this problem:

how to keep the old individual WDM SP (or NSP for that matter) Drivers with the latest Catalysts (6.3 and up)?

Thanks again in advance!

Freddy
