Using winupdate for drivers is not reccommended! - ignore the update

Hi,

I'm using Win Xp sp1 with all the latest updated bar one.
When every time I check for Windows updates I keep getting, 'NVIDIA
Display
Software Update, released on Oct 6th 2003'! Obviously an old

version,
as
I'm
on 56.72 downloaded from NVIDIA on the 16th May 04!!

How do I get rid of the 2003 update?

Thanks

Steve



When you go to WU there's a section on the left-hand-side and in it is
"Customize Windows Update". With this you can tell WU not to show

graphic
driver updates. The only drawback is it will NEVER show you any

graphics
driver updates untill you change it back. Which , honestly isn't a big

loss
becuase, personally I never use WU to get my gfx drivers anyway.







Simply because Windows considers any driver the has not been WHQL certified
as not to exsist. Which is BS. Believe me there have been tons, I mean tons
of drivers that have not been whql which have been much better than the ones
Microsoft has approved of.
