You sometimes have to do this manually however. Most of the drivers on
windows update are provided by manufacturers, but there's a definite
lag between them releasing the latest hardware drivers on their
website, and the signed drivers becoming available on windows update.

In summary : Grab them from the video card manufacturers website.

to, and everything else, including games, looks and runs great. However, the
AVIs shot with the Casio Exilim, and even some WMV I have, are awful in WMP
11 but look fine in 10. Those same movies also look bad in Vista's Photo
Gallery, for what that's worth. Other video files, shot with a Canon
Powershot S3 IS, look great in WMP 11 and Photo Gallery.
