Win7 update wrong ...
Just a heads up.
This morning Win7 informed me I have no video drivers installed (Radeon 5770). I do, it's wrong. If you get a similar message I recommend you ignore it. At some point Microsoft will release a patch.

The latest updates were installed today on my Win 7 machine with Radeon 5770 video card but I didn't receive any messages regarding missing video drivers. I'm running Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit, what version did you see the message?

I had a windows 7 update a couple of weeks ago almost mess my computer up and it was during Finals week. Talk about almost losing it.
 Hopefully I don't have an issues with this one.

I always wait a few weeks before installing updates..
Couple years I ago I let the updates install a VIA IDE Controller...OH no...reboot no workee.... Short version - the same IDE controller was offered to all of my pc's none except the first was even close to a match. I blasted off a half a dozen emails to any address I could find and the driver was removed in a pretty short period of time. |

Hmmm.
I got a message last night saying I needed to upgrade my video drivers. I didn't trust it so I stopped it, I'll do it manually today. I'm paranoid about these things. Mike |

Do any of your games need/would be improved by a driver update? |

Hi
I don't really. Everything on my computer runs fine. I have a Radeon 5870 video card and it runs everything maxed out with the drivers I have. But I usually do update when ever the manufacturer comes out with new drivers. Mike |

Basic question : Do you need the update (Check the Read Me!).
If you've got the latest graphic's card/games, you need to keep up with drivers. If you don't, wait around and see what's happening. |
