Hello,

I have been using windows update to keep up with the
latest critical patches. All to the good. Then, foolishly
ignoring my own credo "if it ain't broke don't fix it" I
installed the suggested nVidia driver update. Now
rebooting the machine, windows freezes during launch.
Until I removed that video card (I have two cards) I could
only use the machine in safe or VGA mode.

I tried reinstalling the driver from my OEM (Dell),
launching off the CD and running repair, everything short
of reinstalling the OS.

Beware. Do NOT download drivers from windows update!!!

Absolutely. I've heard way too many horror stories to even think about
doing it.
