Default Microsoft Update for nVidia Display 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.

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

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.
