Windows Updates arrive in duplicates......

Seven days ago I installed Vista Home Premium on this brand new HP lap top

These updates keep arriving and automatically install every other day

nVidia - Video - NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600

Conexant - Sound - Conexant High Definition Audio

CXT - Modems - HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP

How do I stop the repeating updates from arriving/installing?

Visit the actual manufacturer's web site and download the latest drivers
directly from there and install it for each of those hardware components
that Microsoft did *not* create (neither the hardware itself nor the
software driver for it.)

Thanks for your advise, Shenan.
Your instructions are followed, I trust for the better.
I'll report back if Windows Update keep on sending these 3.party driver
updates.
Until then, thanks,
JP

JP!

Which driver did you use? I have HDAUDIO Softv92 Data Fax Modem with SmartCP
and the HSFhda_WinXP64.zip doesn't work. The link to HSFp_WinXP64.zip is
broken. Any help would be REALLY appreciated!

Thanks,
mjd

You have Windows XP x64?

Just have a 32bit Windows XP?

No, sadly, as I already *stated* HSFhda_WinXP64.zip in fact does not work.
This driver is for HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem - not the absence of SoftV92.
This is not the appropriate driver.
My hardware is vendor number 14f1 device number 2c06 - this device number is
not supported by this driver.

Thanks for the suggestion though. If you know of any other xp64 drivers that
are for the HDAUDIO modem please pass the references along...

Doesn't work (as in won't download) or doesn't work (as in won't install)?

I just downloaded it on three different networks. So I cannot imagine it
doesn't work - as in won't download.

I don't have Windows XP x64 edition (do you?) so I do not expect it to
install.

Things to be sure of...
- You are getting the driver correct for the version of Windows you are
running.
- You are getting the driver correct for the hardware you have installed.

Have you tried downloading the driver on a different computer (at work, at a
friends house, etc) and saving the file, bringing it to your computer? (if
the trouble is that it will not download from the links given...)

Have you opened the computer to ensure you have that hardware?

Thanks for your help, really, but your questions are rather silly.

Yes, I do have xp64 - that's why I'm looking for an x64 driver.

No, the driver HSFhda... DOES NOT WORK as in "I TRIED IT AND IT DOESN'T
SUPPORT THE Softv92 MODEM" - I said that, explicitly, BEFORE YOU TOLD ME TO
TRY IT.

I then said, EXPLICITLY, that the ****HSFp...**** link is broken - so
telling me AGAIN that you could download the file *I SAID I ALREADY
DOWNLOADED AND TRIED* is a COMPLETE AND UTTER WASTE OF TIME AND BANDWIDTH.

OK? Please stop telling me you can download the file I said I already
downloaded and I already said doesn't support my modem - including detailing
which modem the driver supports and which modem I have - including detailing
the vendor ID and device ID - do you know what those are? If you do, why did
you ask me if I have the modem I said I had.

Sorry, but it's really annoying to reanswer questions I've already answered
and being told to try again (BY THE SAME PERSON) to do something I already
said I'd tried and is NOT THE SOLUTION.

It's a bit like sitting on the side of the road with a flat tire and having
every third car pull over to ask if you have gas in the tank - and every
third driver is the SAME GUY.

Ok?

Really, thanks. I really do appreciate the suggestions. But stop making the
same suggestion that doesn't work and that you'd understand doesn't work if
you'd take time to read what I''ve posted.

So - you want to be a jacka$$... Gotcha.
I didn't see many people running to your aid - I expect less after your
rant.

Contact the manufacturer or buy a modem that *is* supported. That's your
best bet.
