Windows Update?

[Guest]

I have a BenQ FP71G+ monitor and windows update gives me a new driver for a
FP705. I contacted BenQ about this and they told me NOT to use the driver
posted on the windows update website. They told me that my monitor would not
function properly or not at all, as the FP705 and FP71G+ have only being LCD
Monitors in common. So my question is why does window update post an
incorrect driver? When it could potentially cause a malfunction in your
hardware or even damage it.

So that smart people like you can catch the mistake
there have been numerous posts declaring to NOT download hardware drivers
from that website.
Go to the maufacturer of the hardware website and download from there.

Exactly!
You are not alone.Windows update has a driver any ASUS MB. with
onboard marvell Yukon ethernet lan that causes the system to lock up
periodically if you install it.Believe it was around Aug. 9th.Only
resolution is to reinstall orig. driver from MB. cd or get the new one
from Marvell.
