update cannot be applied to my system

[T5]

Vista Home Premium
nvidia geoforce 6800LE
4gb DDr 2200
Asus A8N-E Mobo
300gb HDD

My system has been having stability problems, not closing,starting correctly
etc etc. I have just received a problem report and it says that I, 1. need
to update the nvidia graphics driver or 2. go to the MS website and download
a
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E3992046-32B9-4A0D-9E02-ACBA698AA675

When I try the nvidia option I am told that I am already running that
version and when I try the MS option I am told that this update cannot be
applied to my system, so what do I do?

The graphics driver you downloaded from nVidia, extract it to a folder.
Click Start > type in Device Manager > open it > expand Display adapters >
select the name of your graphics card > click Properties > click 'Update
Driver' > click 'Browse my computer for driver software > navigate to where
you extract the nVidia drivers and proceed with the installation.

If that does not work, try uninstalling the driver first then install the
one you downloaded.

Make dure you have a copy of the latest driver on you desktop easy to
get at (The screen likely to get messed up)
Reboot
Set AV and other security software NOT to start with Windows.
Start>Settings>add remove programs>Nvidia
(Oops I mean control panel remove etc)
If you get a choice only select Video Driver
Remove it.
It may ask to reboot, if not do so anyway
Reinstall driver
Reset resolution

Sometimes you can get away with install while running but most times you
can't so the MS Update way is not recommended since the machine is
running the old driver as it installs. You could make the same mistake
with the NVidia driver as well of course, many cases you simply MUST
install first, it may appear to work but cause problems if you do not.
