| Re: MS ArACPI Driver
I've seen this on my system too when I ran a driver update program, then choose not to buy it. If the driver web site says that you have the latest driver (for your hardware / software) I'd go with that. In my case I had the latest drivers for my system even though there were more recent updates (just not for your hardware). |

| Re: MS ArACPI Driver
Don't pay any attention to those sorts of sites that scan your computer and tell you that you need new drivers. General information about drivers: The First Law of Driver Updates is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Normally if everything is working you want to leave things as they are. The exception is that heavy-duty gamers will usually want to update their video and sound drivers to squeeze every last bit of performance out of the hardware to get the fastest frame rates. If you're not one of those people, you don't need to update your drivers if there are no problems you are trying to solve. Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from: 1. The device mftr.'s website; OR 2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR 3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.). Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the drivers. To find out what hardware is in your computer: 1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer. 2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway) 3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows. |

In my case, I have an nVidia chipset and the updated driver is available from their website. The only difference I noticed between the original driver and the updated one is that the original flashes the power LED on the computer when in Away mode, and the updated driver does not. I prefer the original driver to tell you the truth. |

unfortunately since you are posting to a leeching group, no one in the ms groups knows what you are talking about |
