optional update

My computer automatically updated today. Upon going through the list of updates there where two optional updates one for English and the other for CXT-Network-PCI soft data fax modem with smart CP. What are they? Do I really need them? I checked the Microsoft help thing when your right click for info. All I could get was it was a driver and nothing else.

Re: optional update

You must have this kind of card on your system using Windows drivers, then when there is a new driver WU propose it to make an upgrade.
My personnal advise regarding WU setup is to look for updates letting you the choice to download and install them.

Re: optional update

Hi Bassfisher,

The optional updates are newer versions of Drivers for your hardware, they are not required but it is preferred you install them because they enhance your hardware with more features...
