My wife's laptop runs XP Prof, SP2 with all upgrades--except one. For
several weeks MS has been telling us that we need to download upgrade for
subject driver dated 11-3-04. It downloads, but fails to install, constantly.
This morning when her computer was started there was a failure of the
existing ATI driver, for reasons unkown, and I could not install anything
that would work. Luckily I had a complete image of the HDD through Acronis
True Image and I was able to get the disk restored complete with driver and
all the graphics working right.
Tried to download and install the upgrade from MS again--failed again. When
I check for critical updates I always get the same message--download this
puppy and install. But it won't.
I know absolutely zilch about drivers, much less graphics/display drivers.
Her machine seems to run fine, with the exception of the near disaster this
AM. Anyone have any ideas about what's going on here? I tried to call ATI
but the 877 number is unresponsive.
