Re: Windows Update - Wrong Post.

Yup, Tried it 3 times. Turns out that the version on the WIndows Update site
was "Way Too Old".

Lesson learnt, don't use MS hardware updates as they are out of date anyway.

Thanks.

G'day. I posted this into the wrong NG - Oops, sorry 'bout that!

What is the protocol to report a "Bad Driver Update" from Windows
Update Site?

I always check updates and check them carefully before I download and
install. However, today I downloaded a drvier update for my Dlink AirPlus
Wireless adapter. After the download, the install began and the system
went
into a CONTINUOUS reboot. Safemode and Restore fixed it.

I have all the driver details etc. But I think it prudent to report this.

Thanks,

Waz Up






Did you try it more than once? It could have just been a fluke.
