Never say never, at least not for drivers

I was being repeatedly prompted to install a driver that I didn't actually
have access to at the time so I clicked on the setting to never be prompted
again for this device. Now, I want to be prompted again. How do I get
Vista x64 to go back to prompting me for the driver for this device? I
tried uninstalling the driver in Device Manager but it still doesn't prompt
me (it just puts a "!" next to the device in Device Manager and stays
quiet).

And loving it,

Go to your OEM's or device manufacturer's website and get the latest driver.

Return to Device Manager and delete the device, not the driver. Reboot and
the computer should detect the device and ask you once again for the
drivers.
