1. Stop the Automatic Updates service:
Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Stop
(Stopping the service will take a moment)
2. Delete the contents of the Download folder:
Start > Run > (type in) %windir%\SoftwareDistribution > [OK]
Open the Download folder and delete its contents
Close the window.
3. Go to Windows Update website > Select CUSTOM and allow the scan to complete > Uncheck/deselect the driver update, then "hide" it ("Don't show me this update again").
4. Start the Automatic Updates service:
Start > Run > (type in) services.msc > [OK]
Double-click Automatic Updates > Click on Start
(Starting the service will take a moment)

I have an updated driver for my video card that was downloaded as part of
the microsoft update process. After installing the updated driver it
conflicted with the latest driver from ATI. I did a system restore and all
is well again except when I check for microsoft updates it says the update
is downloaded an ready for installation. How can I delete the donloaded
update so I can then go into the update site and tell it to not show this
update? Windows XP
