Explanation

Sometimes a patch may cause problems for an existing device driver. Usually, you simply uninstall and then reinstall the driver. This way the driver is installed after the patch. Answer option D is incorrect. Patches often have key security updates. Simply leaving the machine unpatched is never a good idea. Answer option A is incorrect. This drastic step will return you to the pre-patch state, but then you will still need to apply that patch, and still have to deal with this problem. Answer option B is incorrect. The scanner worked with Vista before the patch. This indicates that it is Vista http.//support.microsoft.com/kb/948187/en-us
