Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 144

Sasha installs an ISA sound card on her Windows 2000 Professional system. The driver fails and now the computer is unable to start. What should she do after rebooting in safe mode?

Answer options

• A. Disable driver signing
• B. Remove sound card before booting
• C. Enable driver signing
• D. Disable the driver

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct action is to disable the driver, as it is causing the startup failure. Disabling driver signing (option A) and enabling it (option C) do not resolve the immediate issue with the problematic driver. Removing the sound card (option B) is unnecessary because the driver can be disabled without physically removing the hardware.
