"LegacyDriver" good or evil?

[jimmieballgame]

When I restart my wife's Acer Aspire laptop with Windows XP, I receive a message about "Hardware Installation".

[The software you are installing for this hardware - "LegacyDriver" has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP.]

Of course, I always "Stop Installation".

What does it do?

Should I use it?

If not, what do I have to do to get rid of the installation file altogether?

Thanks for any help.

You can install anyway, but it is always best to go to manufacturer and find a tested driver, it is your choice.

Elizabeth, thanks for the info. I did what was written and I think it got the job done.

Thanks again.
