Re: Windows Update Caused Computer to Crash

Do NOT, NEVER, EVER use a hardware
driver from Windows Update.

Sounds like MS pushed ANOTHER messed-up
video driver from someone on you (like the Intel
one a few months ago that screwed up screen res.)

Use the Update site to manually select which drivers
you want. Don't allow it to have it's way with your
machine by installing everything it deems "necessary".
