MANAGING AND TROUBLESHOOTING DEVICES
Windows XP usually manages devices automatically.
Update driver/rollback driver. Verify resource settings on manually
configured devices. Hardware troubleshooters.

UPDATING DEVICE DRIVERS
Chapter 4: Managing Devices and Peripherals 14
DEVICE DRIVER ROLLBACK
Windows XP retains one previous version of each updated driver.
Roll Back Driver restores the previously installed driver version.
Roll Back Driver cannot restore drivers earlier than the previous version.
Chapter 4: Managing Devices and Peripherals 15
MANAGING DEVICE DRIVER SIGNING
Device drivers approved by WHQL are digitally signed.
Windows XP can be configured to not install unsigned drivers.
Chapter 4: Managing Devices and Peripherals 16
CONFIGURING MULTIPROCESSOR SUPPORT
Windows XP configures multiprocessor support automatically.
Do not attempt to manually configure the hardware abstraction layer (HAL).
Chapter 4: Managing Devices and Peripherals 17
MANAGING ACPI SUPPORT
Configured during installation. Press F5 to choose an alternative HAL; press
F7 to force a non-ACPI HAL. Do not change the HAL after installation.

SUMMARY
Windows XP can manage hardware automatically using ACPI and Plug and Play.
Hardware profiles allow multiple hardware configurations.
Windows XP can be configured to prevent installation of unsigned drivers.
Multiple CPU support is automatic in Windows XP.
HALs must be chosen during installation.
