    Anyone else pushed new 5650 drivers via Windows Update?

    Didn't see this in the threads I thought it'd be in, if it is, disregard and let the thread die...

    Saw the same for my 5450, same size even, but I didn't bother. Installed 11.4 from AMD instead as I'm sure they're newer.

    Then again, maybe those have updated Intel graphics....hmmm.

    I haven't tried it yet. Maybe after finals. I feel like my graphics drivers are horribly screwed up at this point, I've installed so many packages on top of other packages...most that weren't posted by HP.

    I recently installed through Windows Update drivers for the HD 6850 and Intel graphics.... needless to say, my screen went blank. So had to do a full system restore...although I could have just deleted the updated drivers...ugh.

    KJ :cool:

    I saw those, but at least on my Windows update, it listed them as being months old. They disappeared from my Windows update since then anyway. I'm planning on installing 11.4 soonish anyway, not that it's likely to change anything for my PoS 5650.
