- By any chance, did you use the Beta drivers before 169.25 was released? If so, it is possible that your drivers don't have the 'WHQL' seal of approval and why Windows Update is showing a 'new' driver.I personally wouldn't use video card drivers from WU.

i never install Beta , anything untrustworthy- I used the Microsoft update for the 8800GTX drivers replacing the169.25 beta from nVIDEA and have not had the infrequent hangupswhen gaming since. I think they are more stable than the beta version.XPS 410,2.66 GHz core 2 duo,4 GB ram2-150GB 10,000 RPM Hard drives768MB GTXVista Home Premium
- I also get them from the Nvidia site, and I also use beta drivers.Before installing them however I look how happy everyone is with them.Unfortunately there is a lot of improvement to be done in this area so it pays off to have the latest if you want the max out of your games (and you do with the XPS series)my 2 cts
