NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller breaks network mapping in Vista. NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller once again breaks network mapping in Vista, just as the offering a few months ago did. Fortunately, I have System Restore active, because the update does not show in Installed Updates. It does show in Update History, but one cannot uninstall it from there.

Re: NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller breaks network mapping in Vista. Hi there, Boot last known good configuration or Use system restore. Taking driver update from windows update is really not a good idea unless you like having problems. An excpetion is there for MS hardware. If your hardware works fine leave it be working fine. If a driver update is needed because the hardware does not funtion well you should download an appropite driver at the manufacturers website in this case nvidia.

Re: NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller breaks network mapping in Vista. Thanks. The main purpose of the OP was to alert folks (maybe even MS) that the update is flawed. -- ______________________________ Walter B waltblanch[at]tampabay[dot]rr[dot]com ______________________________ "realcestmoi" <mdenie@dutchweb.nl> wrote in message news:e9wQu0s3HHA.5424@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hi there, > > Boot last known good configuration or Use system restore. > > Taking driver update from windows update is really not a good idea unless > you like having problems.

Re: NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller breaks network mapping in Vista. Hi there, you are welcome. There have been several posts warning people for not taking any non MS drivers from windows update as most excperienced computer users know.

RE: NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller break Oh that's why it failed during the update twice. Tehy musta pulled it. Graphics drivers I agree with don't use auto update. networking drivers though...meh.
