Thank you Ottmar, I have read the blog from Stephen Toulouse and have 1 final
question. If you have applied the reg key fix and are no longer experiencing
problems. Is there no action required. Or are you better removing your reg
key fix and uninstalling the old ms06-015. Then reapplying the new fix via
AU? Thanks JD76.

Correct.

Nope. The "updated update" will include the exact same fix for
HP's (outdated) Share-To-Web software, which has been described
in the KB article and been made available for download by Kelly
as VBS file and me as a ZIP file. Additional a registry fix for
outdated Nvidia video card drivers.

Anyway, AutoUpdate and the Windows/Microsoft Update site will
check, if the machine is in trouble and install the "updated
update" if they feel, the machine may be.

HTH,
Freudi

Hello:

I just read your post. Are you saying that the new update coming out April
25th is going to have a fix for the Nvidia Video Cards or are you saying you
have a fix for them.

I have one of those cards that do not have drivers above 6.14.10.5673 and it
is no longer supported. It is my secondary emergency machine and would hate
to have to purchase a new video card just for stand by machine.

Thanks

Yes.

I have one of those cards that do not have drivers above 6.14.10.5673 and it
is no longer supported.

Just curious: Which video card model exactly?

About my video card Nvidia gave me a link to an older driver. My card has
not been supported in a while. I currently have the drivers installed that
came with XP.

If I remember when I tried to install the drivers that Nvidia Supplied I got
notice that my current drivers were newer.

My video card is "Nvidia TNT2 Model 64".

This is not a daily use machine so I will just wait for the update to come
down on April 25th before updateing this machine. I rarely goes on the net
mostly a product test machine prior to putting product on my main machine.

Thanks Freudi I will leave as is and see if anything changes. I know this is
probably a silly question but not being too proficient on the internals of a
pc. how do I know what video card drivers I have installed? I have a sony
vaio laptop but not too sure on how to check. I know that I have a HP
photosmart 7550 printer and wish I had never installed it as it has always
given me trouble with some driver or other.

Thanks in advance JD76.

Revise my Video Drivers:

I just did some more research and found that the Nvidia Drivers for my card
were updated last April and are 71.89 which means I have no issues.

I think I was confused because I have the Microsoft Drivers installed right
now and they use different Version Numberes. All that aside I was at a
friends house today and he had installed the update and has the exact same
video card with the same Windows XP default drivers installed. No issues on
the machine.

So it looks like I am good to go.

I think when I said the drivers were newer from Microsoft than Nvidia I must
have been remembering when I had 2003 Server Trial installed.

I'm not Freudi, but you can either look in the Adapter section of the
Display applet (under Settings>Advanced) or expand the Display category
in Device Manager (System applet). Since you have a laptop, you will be
using the proprietary drivers by Sony and you should leave them that
way. Laptops have proprietary hardware so you should always get drivers
from the laptop mftr. for your specific model laptop.
