Guest Timothy Davis \(MS\) Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Drivers are not typically posted to a specific service pack, only for the operating system. So a driver posted to the catalog won't be posted to Windows XP SP2, but just Windows XP. Also, because the v4 version of Windows Update is very old, we no longer feed drivers to this version of WU. To see recent drivers posted to WU, please visit the beta version of the new Windows Update Catalog. http://test.catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx "hesham" <hesham@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D04C790D-434B-493F-92A9-F110FB983966@microsoft.com... > > > "D@ny" wrote: > >> Hi, >> when I find hardware drivers in Windows Update Catalog >> (http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/corp_drivers.asp) and I >> select a category, there is not "Windows XP SP2" in Operating system >> menu. >> Why? >> >> Best regards, >> -- >> D@ny
Guest realcestmoi Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Hi there, Taking driver update from windows update is really not a good idea unless you like problems) When a driver update is needed beacuse the hardware is NOT functioning well than you should look at the manufacturers site for an update. If the hardware works fine: leave it be working fine: if it ain't broke do NOT try to "FIX" it.
