'Bad' Vista update?
Windows had an update for me today. Some sort of update for Toshiba
Bluetooth hardware (I have a big Dell XPS 710 with the Dell bluetooth keyboard and mouse). After that update, I had no mouse or keyboard and the update 'failed' to find any driver. Attempting to restart my bluetooth hardware was unsucessful as the system could no longer find my bluetooth hardware. Luckily System Restore worked like a champ and all is well now. However, Windows Update is still trying to get me to allow the update. I have had to hide the update. How did this slip by the MS team?

Dell XPS 710 Vista Home Premium SP1 -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html My two cents worth... Rather than worry about who messed up, resolve *not* to accept hardware driver updates via Windows Update. There have been numerous problems caused by hardware drivers delivered via WU over time. I'd suggest the following: If you think, because of an issue, that you need updated drivers for any piece of hardware, get new drivers from the manufacturer directly and install them yourself. Don't install new drivers just because they are available, if your current drivers are working well. |

MS doesn't have a team, they have one old feeble programmer who wrote the
entire code for Vista. "bdenley" wrote in message ... Windows had an update for me today.
