| Should I install this driver BitDefender is showing me that I have an update that isn't installed. I went to Windows Update and it is showing a driver update as follows: nVidia - Display - NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE April 2009 update If this update came out in April why is it just now coming through my Windows Update? Should I install this or is it going to leave me with a bunch of new problems to deal with? If someone can advise me on this I would appreciate it so much. |

The drivers on Windows Update are sometimes a version or two dated. They can only offer that which the manufacturer supplies to them. There is a time lag it seems. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience & Security |

This is a recipe for disaster because the driver upgrade would be a generic driver update. Generic driver updates might work for most hardware but some video card manufacturers can "modify" the hardware for their "needs." Also, if you really use nVidia "standard" drivers, always get the latest from [url]www.nvidia.com[/url]. |

| RE: Should I install this driver There is a driver on Dell for my computer, listed as optional, nVidia Driver/applies to GeForce 7300 LE 128/This is an updated Vista WHQL logoed driver. Fixes some macrovision issues.But, this has a revision date of 2/2007, and I didn't purchase my computer until 7/2007 so I still don't know if I should install this. There are also two other items which are recommended. One is TEAC Driver and TEAC Firmware, applies to CA200 HH 13-1 Card Reader, both with revision dates of 1/2008. I am so dumb when it comes to this technical stuff, but I don't think I've ever even used a card reader. Can you tell me what I should do about these two items?

| Re: Should I install this driver Well, it depends. If you have a Nvidia graphics card that matches the name of it, or is close to the model number and in the same series. The same sort of thing happened to me once, I had got a message about updates, and in the list it said there was an upate for a different nvidia graphics which wasnt mine but it still worked. Simply, if thats not your graphics card or in the same seires and not close model number than just ignore it. |
