Guest nellie2 Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 can't you just put the driver on a disk and update the other machine with it that way?? Doesn't solve the problem you are having with w/update though... here is what I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 have you installed sp1 on the newer installation, there could have been an updated driver on it..........? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 yeah but the other 1 had sp1,anyway the nvidia driver was showing till this,it should show no drivers available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 Is yours greyed out when you go to the windows update site Morpheus or do you get a clickable link like me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 i get a clickable link........i see what you mean now, interesting one.ellas, is it worth trying to clear out all ms cookies and temp internet files and rescaning for updates?

Guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 Windows Update shows no available updates If you go to the Windows Update Web site, and no updates are shown, while you know there should be updates available (for example if you did a clean (re)installation of Windows), you may want to check the language settings of Internet Explorer. From the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options Select the General tab, then click Languages If no languages are listed, click Add Select your language from the displayed list, then click OK Click OK twice to close the Language Preference dialog box, and the Internet Options dialog box You should now be able to see updates listed on the Windows Update site. from: http://www.windows-help.net/WindowsXP/troub-08.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvw Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 After reading my previous posts you'll wonder what I'm on about I guess :) My son is Ash, he has a Pentium 4 networked to my Pentium 111.Driver updates show fine on my machine, his machine shows the error.
