Thanks very much indeed.
yay!!! I'm so glad you got it sorted. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Some general words of advice about drivers for the future - including the famous "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" ;-) :
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.

If you have installed drivers from Windows Update, you can roll them back:
