Latest windows update deleted my audio driver

I was wondering why suddenly, my laptop didn’t have sounds. I’m using conexant HD-audio SmartAMC HD2.

I checked the hardware and it was disabled. I checked the event logs to see what caused it to be disabled but found none.

However, i remembered installing the windows update which windows was bugging me to install NOW (you know, that dialog box that keeps on popping up asking you to install now or later).

• MS08-068: Vulnerability in SMB could allow remote code execution November 11, 2008
• MS08-069: Description of the security update for XML Core Services 6.0: November 11, 2008

I’ve checked some forums and they also had the same problem after installing a windows update (not necessarily the same as the ones i enumerated above).

Good thing there’s a ROLL BACK DIVER option. I clicked it, and in less than a minute, my laptop is loud again. However, i noticed a big difference in the sound. I think this is another case of Driver problem with my Compaq Presario Laptop.

UPDATE:

Every time i will start/restart my laptop, i have to rollback the driver. WAAAAAAAAAAAAA
