downloaded updates location on hard drive - Dell Video problem

re: Dell Inc -Video-Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family


had auto updates on. above update hosed system on dell .
did system restore to get back. would like to be able to turn on Auto
UPdates again.

Does anyone know where this update is stored on local hard drive and how to
tell system not to install?

I have similar problems with this driver over the past couple of days.
Windows Update says I need to install it but it fails repeatedly on the
install. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling but it continues to
fail on install.

Do not ever use drivers from Windows Updates, get them from the
official site of the hardware manufactorer.

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads\

Automatic updates is a risky thing as you just found out, leave it off
and check updates manually.

Automatic Updates ON = Please install any old crap you like on my PC
any time you like - I trust you totally with all my data.

Automatic Updates OFF = DO NOT INSTALL unless I say so.

One thing that caused me quite a few problems is that I had the RealVNC
software installed and after the update it hung on starting, then would not
let the services database unlock so the driver could be automatically
installed by Windows when I had uninstalled the driver in safe mode fyi.
Still don't know what whacked out the video on the systems though, we've got
about 15 of them in this location I'm working at now that encountered it
though...
