Vista - Updates Vista / HP?

Hi,

I have 2 optional updates:
Conexant - Sound - Conexant High Definition Audio
nVidia - Video - NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600

When i install them, than the HP-update SW tells me that they have to be
upgraded.
If i executed them via HP-update than Vista says me again that i can install
these optional updates?

Somebody any experience with it?

Thanks
Huib

Hi,

The rule of thumb with device drivers is simple. Do not upgrade them unless
you are having trouble with the existing set or want to take advantage of a
new feature. When you do upgrade them, get them from the device
manufacturer, not Windows Update (which are often several versions old).

Hi,

The version is on the appropriate tab in the properties of the hardware in
device manager.
