Reply #18: If it were me, and I were in WinXP, I would set a restore point first [View All]

I don't know if there's a comparable function in Win2k, but if there is, you should do that first. If not, and you're really concerned, make a regular backup (just in case) or a ghost image, if you know how. Something that would enable you to go back to the configuration that you had just prior to updating the driver.

However, if you're adventurous, just go ahead and install the new driver and cross your fingers :D

More than likely it will work, but knowing Windows, ... well, anything can happen. I'm not familiar enough with Win2k to predict what might happen, but I've had my share of stupid driver problems in Win98se, even when installing what's supposed the be the "correct" driver -- but... that's with an actual video card, as in the expansion slot, and sometimes those kinds of video cards have issues playing well with the motherboard chips -- so it's a more delicate issue. Since your video is onbaord, integrated into the motherboard and plays well with the other chipsets onboard, you *probably* won't have problems. But then again... this is Windows we're talking about, so....

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
