New NVidia driver offered via Windows Update. Should I, shouldn't I ?

Today being offered this Nvidia driver via WU,
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/win7_winvista_32bit_197.45_whql_uk.html

I have an Aspire 9301 running Vista HP 32bit and currently use an "old" GEForce6100 driver from Microsoft, which seems to work well. It's not a specific Geforce go6100 notebook driver. Its 7.15.11.6369.

So the big question, having had trouble before

Is it worth trying or not... anyone been offered it and tried it ?

Will it be OK on a notebook ?

(I would make an Acronis image beforehand)

Thanks

 

why dont you install the free comodo time machine and then you can play to your hearts content without worrying , and if it all goes wrong , It only takes seconds to get your computer back as it was before.

Just remember to take a snapshot before you mess about.

Thanks for the link... this is one of those "well you know you want to" moments.

OK... made a full Acronis image... then clicked install update.

Erm... that seemed to go well... update installed no issues, new features in control panel. Restart not needed... to good to be true.

Do a full shutdown and restart and confronted with system tray "installing new driver software" message followed by large Windows installer message to accept or decline to "continue installing NVidia software"

Click accept and error message along the line of "Error 0xxx missing DLL entry" Click OK to continue. I do and message "successfully installed NVidia driver" appeared.

So seems OK (upto now ) New driver shows in control panel in device manager.
