SHF NEVER update your video card drivers from Windows Update. Get them from the card manufacturer's web site, or directly from Nvidia or ATI/AMD, or whoever made the chipset, if not one of those two. ALWAYS uninstall the old drivers first. |

Hi,
Yes, I have a headache that caused me to not realize what was being offered. But WHY does Windows Update offer a update that causes a BSOD? Is everyone asleep at the switch?

It likely happened because the existing drivers were older than the windows update driver. obviously, new ATI drivers are available. The BSOD may have occurred because you did not uninstall the old driver first, and revert to the MS SVGA driver before installing the update. |

Hi,
If I did not have the headache I would not have selected the Video Driver download. Going to W7 from Vista very soon, that hopefully will fix the HDTV capture playback problem I am seeing and was part of my failed brain mistake. With Windows Update, it is suppose to be a hands off operation for the less skilled. So no uninstall of the old driver could be done by me, if needed it must be done by Windows Update and I think it was as the screen resolution changed to low res. I still cannot understand: But WHY does Windows Update offer a update that causes a BSOD? Is everyone asleep at the switch? SHF "Chuck" wrote in message ... On 8/31/2010 11:46 PM, Stephen H.

Enjoy. If the pleasure becomes more than you can stand, install an industrial-strength operating system. (Hint: Do learn something about what you will need to do to use it, first.) Or switch to the Mac/OS X. Cheers! jim b. -- UNIX is not user unfriendly; it merely expects users to be computer-friendly. |
