I suggest you UNtick **No preview (post immediately)**.

The whole *Update Driver* thing is a hair-trigger booby trap IMO.
...and NEVER install **over** a broken driver.
Windoze often lies to you and continues to use the same old screwed-up driver.
Download the driver you need,
highlight the defective device driver and REMOVE it,
(reboot optional) **THEN** install the driver again.
|then tells me I have to reboot to have the changes take effect.

Dontcha just love Windoze? 8-(
The only time you HAVE to reboot the typical Linux box[1]
is when you install a whole new kernel (like going from W98FE to W98SE).
[1] A Linux "Kernel panic" is A LOT more rare than the Windoze BSoD.
