I've just run into this problem also. I've downloaded the patch that was given on
this site, but I'm unable to install the patch. Usually if I were to right click
on an *.INF file, I would have the option to install...but that's not happening now.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might install this patch, so that I can
have my computer back to normal?
Also, in my file types there isn't an *.INF entry in there. I'm not sure why. I've
tried to create an entry, but to no avail. The system will let me create a new entry,
but it will not allow me to change it's characteristics.
Any help would be very appreciated...I've been trying to solve this for 2 weeks now.
Thanks.
