Hi,
No offer of SP1 through auto update,

After reading problem issues the only 1 I can see that would be holding me
back is the Realtek AC97 described in method for cause No.5 which quotes:

Realtek AC'97 • For x64-based computers: Alcwdm64.sys - version 6.0.1.6242
or earlier

However after checking I have 6.0.1.6282 released 10/03/2008 through auto
update, I then downloaded the standalone package, tried to install but was
given an error 0x800736CC, Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi there,

Never take drivers from windows update unless they are intended for
Microsoft hardware.

If an updated driver is needed because the hardware does not work proper go
to the manufacturers website to look for an updatede driver.

If it ain't broke: do not try to"FIX" it.

If you did take the OPTIONAL drivers from windows update try booting last
known good configuration, rolling back on the driver or system restore or
restore from the fullsystem backup you hopefully made.

You can disable the update appearing when automatic updates is set by going
to the windows update website and unmark (hide) driver in question.

Best regards,
Michel Denie
