    I am turning off auto update. :mad: That is, until they add an option that "never install this update"

    Just uncheck the checkbox on the left side and press install. And the reason why its telling you to install that is because you are using and unsigned driver and I assume thats the newest version of the signed drivers.

    I don't know why people like the OP even run Windows if they hate Microsoft so much. Doesn't make sense.

    It's not like we have many choices. That's like saying, "I don't know why people who hate Bush even live in this country.

    Because it's alot easier to replace your computer's OS than to uproot yourself and your entire family and move somewhere else.

    Is the Driver Date on your Properties window the actual date of the driver or the date it was installed...or even the date you installed windows?

    I usually look at the Firmware/Version number to make my decision.

    So, you've never heard of Linux or the other alternate PC operating systems? How big is the rock you've been living under?

    Nvidia's site will have the best answers. I reckon they should have the latest drivers instead.
