I recently installed 10.5.5, and it caused some driver problems with some of the games I play, so I wanted to downdate back to 10.5.4. Is there an easy way to do this, or am I going to have to wipe the HD and reinstall from my backup from like 3 weeks ago, or something else drastic?
Got a tip for us?

It appears that this isn't an option in your case, but for future reference.
Since it is relatively easy to do, you should run a Time Machine backup before doing such updates. That way you can format / install (after checking the backup for issues) and restore from Time Machine backups. Just did it the other day for an issue I was having after installing a new Superdrive.
