yesterday my dell support maintenance channel popped up telling me that i needed to 'update your graphics adapter driver'. this computer was purchased 3 yrs ago - dimension 2400 xp home edition, now with sp2 on it. i clicked on 'get it' because i figured if dell sent it to me then i actually needed it. i downloaded the file then when i went to run it, a screen popped up saying the the publisher wasnt recognized and that i shouldnt download or run any programs without an unrecognizable publisher. i then deleted everything and havent done anything else as of yet. can anyone tell me why dell would send such information since it apparently is contradictory to windows and security features? and should i really download it anyway?? the more details section says that if i dont download it, "having an old version of this driver may result in windows crashes and other problems in windows xp or windows 2000 operating systems".  

 

thank you in advance for your support, danielsma 

 

With drivers, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

Dell Support is a useless piece of software. 

 

Leave it alone.

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH   : - )

you know sometimes i could kick myself for not getting an hp instead. but as long as there are friendly, knowledgable people out there like you who can help the illiterate like me, i'm so grateful. thanks again.
