Hi Lynn, we meet in strange places
I agree totally with Testy Do not D/L any drivers from MS update site

About 2 years ago I D/L'd some drivers from there for my lappie, Result D/L
OK, Install trashed my HD had to do a complete OS reinstall

3 months ago I built a new PC , And installed W2K, D/L'd all the patches
etc, then a couple of drivers

Duh, Guess what happened, yep history repeated itself

get drivers from the manufacturers site
