Hi Dave,
As has been pointed out by several people, myself included, throughout these
newsgroups, you should not download and install updates from Microsoft for
the hardware on your machine. You should obtain these updates directly from
the website of the hardware manufacturer. An exception to this rule is for
hardware manufactured by Microsoft themselves. Even so, there are some
drivers which can be downloaded from the manufacturer but are best installed
as part of a reinstallation. These include chipset drivers and storage
drivers.
