Do not install drivers from Vista WU

[Dr Teeth]

A pci express driver for ATi cards has appeared and seem to be causing
major problems. I could no boot my Vista partition in any type of safe
mode, let alone normal mode. I had always avoided Windows Update
drivers, but thought things may have improved with Vista.

The driver in question is ATi PCI Express 3GIO or something very
similar.

It killed my onboard Marvell network. I had to use system restore.

The whole Vista is just nitemare. I had it. I could not believe Vista
has a kept
timing clock connection to the MicroSoft. I could not figure out why
my Vista
no longer booted. I realized that my timing has ran out. No more
Vista.

XP will stop booting if you don't activate it within the time limit as
well.

Never, _EVER_ install a driver from Windows Update unless there is
_no_ other driver available.

How comes I'm using XP now?

Presumably because you activated it within the time limit.
