I am running an upgraded version of Windows 7. The driver installer uninstalls the current drivers, and asks to be restarted and tells me to rerun the installer after the restart to finish the installation. Every time I restart Windows automatically reinstalls audio drivers. I typed change device installation settings into the Start Menu, received the second dialog box shown and selected the 3rd option, the box labeled "Replace generic device icons with enhanced icons" is not check. Still, Windows re-installs the drivers every time it starts up. I have double and tripled checked that the device installation settings have not changed and they haven't. Any other suggestions on preventing Windows 7 from automatically installing drivers? I am trying to install Realtek drivers for my 5.1 surround sound on my Acer Aspire 8920g.
