Hi all,
I want to update my PC drivers, but I have one concern.
I heard that when you update your video driver or some like that it will
disactivate vista. Will this hapen with me too?

Info:
- Vista Business OEM ( not preinstalled, received it from Moduslink)
- Intel GMA 950
- Realtek HD Audio
I think that's all the information needed
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Some driver updates have been shown to cause Vista to ask for reactivation.
The majority I've seen have been related to the drive controllers and
motherboard. I don't recall a single instance or a video driver causing
this issue. If it should happen, you'll just have to go through the phone
activation method. It's inconvenient, but you will be able to reactivate.

I've updated my display adapter and sound devices many times, with no
problems. Updating did not deactivate my computer. Your display adapter
driver is here, I believe (click on Graphics Driver for the appropriate
chipset):

You see. The thing is I live on a small island in the Caribean (Curacao, bet
you guys never heard of it!) so I don't think that the phone thing will be an
option for me!
Thanks for the replies though
