What would uninstalling the device achieve though? It should just reinstall on startup and I'd have the same driver.
The block on 2004 has been removed for me but unlike others I don't have a new conexant driver available to give me confidence the block has not been removed in error.
I was hoping others may have allowed the upgrade to 2004 to go ahead after the block was removed without a new driver and be able to confirm there were no issues.
Maybe MS will eventually update their issues list with details of what has changed.
