It won't matter...you can just install the ones you download over it. Not
sure what the problem is - unless its causing a crash or something?

Default automatic update drivers

If you are referring to drivers that come down from Windows Update, change
your settings to either notify, or download but not automatically install.
Then you can weed out any unwanted updates.

no jane, everytime i uninstall the drivers and restart, it doesnt go to
windows update or anything, just installs the wddm drivers which is plain
annoying, since everytime i use video there is a stutter and nvidia suggests
that i uninstall the wddm drivers or any old drivers before installing
drivers

Which when you do, will put them back to the basic ones Vista uses, that
not a bug or a problem its just how it works. You can still install your new
drivers fine.
