Alex Nichol said:It may be offering one that is in fact older - but is 'signed' by MS
quality labs. I would always go to the web site of the makers and get
the latest driver that *they* recommend for use with XP
ALL drivers designed for Windows XP are supposed to be 'signed', whether
obtained from WU or the vendor.
apparently you missed the part in the discussion where i said:
"the general rule is, if WU offers an updated driver for your hardware, go
check the hardware vendor's website first, to see if they offer an updated
version too, compare the two versions and choose the latest one, which will
likely be the hardware vendor's version. however, keep in mind, the version
offered by Microsoft has been *tested* and *certified*, the one on the
vendor's website may not have been."
please read more carefully next time
i maintain, the drivers available via WU are perfectly safe to use. they
are coded and built by the hardware vendors, tested and certified by MSWHQL
and made available to WU.
