ATI Radeon 9550 update

I am trying to install a published update from Microsoft via the Windows
update and it failed with error code 80070103. Any ideas what could be going
on?

You should get updates for graphics cards from the card manufacturer's site,
not from M/S.
Mike.

www.ati.com is the place to get all updates.

Hmm, tried updating my Vista and Media Player there, didnt work.?

Hi there,

You should look for Vista driver than at AMD /ATI.
http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html choose Vista

Media player is MS so you should check at microsoft.

Best regards,

Hi there,

Go to ATI /AMD http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html and download drivers
for your ATI 9550 there .

Windows update is not a good place for drivers unless you want problems.

Best regards,
Michel Denie.

Will do

Hi there,

It is quite simple:

its a given free advice, people can do with it whatever they like

II work with lots of different hardware and have learned by excperience (the
hard) way to not take any MS update drivers, any MVP here will give you the
same free advice.

Windows update can be on by default free advice is to choose option : let me
choose which updates to install and choose custom when it pops up and skip
any driver updates.

Best regards,
Michel Denie

By the time the hardware drivers get signed and published, they are already
months or years out of date. Also, the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
rule applies. If you are having video issues, seek a current driver from the
manufacturer. If you see Windows Update offering a newer driver for your
video card, it's because the manufacturer thought it was necessary for some
reason. Your best bet is to go to the manufacturers site and get a driver
that's probably 6 months more recent.
