Yes it is, I wasn't 100% sure if there was something additional showing
up on mine or whether it was from the manufacturer's driver disk.

A 'community' is too kind. A loose rabel is better, and THAT is why it is
really not worthy of reliance.

You mean like buying Vista certified hardware that supposedly passed
inspection and rigid testing that still doesn't work correctly?

I asked you at least a half a dozen times why you always have a hard
on for Microsoft. I'm still waiting for an answer. What's in it for
you that you daily disgrace yourself being an unpaid apologist for a
multi national company that doesn't give a rat's ass about it's
customers and release after release spanning over 21 years still
hasn't been able to give the public a reasonably bug free version of
Windows prior to the endless parade of service packs.

WHY do you do it Jupiter?

I've seen top posters and bottom posters but rarely idiots that delete
everything and are so full of themselves only their own comments
remain. Well if the Bozo needs to put Mr. in his posts I guess I
understand what a loser such a guy has to be.

ROTFLMAO!

In the future you may respond to me as Mr. Albright or sir.

You have a one track mind. This may come as a shock to fanboys, but
not all Windows problems are related to drivers. Otherwise Microsoft's
KnowledgeBase wouldn't be a monument to the countless thousands of
blunders Microsoft made, they had to own up to was oops... sorry, our
mistake.

The fact remains though that nothing in the ads indicates these
potential problems, and no doubt retailers are happy to sell without
asking, so off goes the customer and tries to upgrade his system which
gets trashed.

Now, I have invested in drive trays so a new hard disk is not something
I even think twice about, but the average user probably doesn't find it
that easy to back his stuff up. I do this sort of things quite often, at
home and at work, but can we call someone careless or stupid because
they were not fully aware of what they were risking.

You are describing fanboys and MVPs. There isn't one of either camp
that isn't guilty of using this lame excuse over and over.

THAT is why I make fun of them. They richly deserve it.
