Windows Update: CXT - Modems

I get an "optional" update notice to the "CXT - Modems PCI Soft Data Fax
Modem with Smart CP"

What is this update for?

If it is anounced in my computer, which has Vista operating system, does
that means that I can use the update or whatever it is for in my system and
that I need the update?

Thanks in advance.

In edition driver updates, if required, are obtained from the device manu.

No.
Don't do it.
Do not take the bait.
It's a hardware update. Don't get those from Microsoft -- get them
from your hardware maker's website. You might not even need it.
Hardware updates offered through MS are, for some reason, notorious
for causing problems.

Hi there,


Taking driver update from windows update is really not a good idea unless
you like having problems. An excpetion is there for MS hardware.

If your hardware works fine leave it be working fine.
If a driver update is needed because the hardware does not funtion well you
should download an appropriate driver at the manufacturers website in.

Thanks for all your advise. I notice that some of you advise me not to
install the update, however, no one is telling me what this update is for.
Can any one enlighthen me as to what is this update for?

Hi there,

On the website windows update click the + sign on the CXT modem driver
update and a peace of text will expand telling what the update is about.
