Computer Question
I received this error report from Micosoft Windows. I have no idea why or how important it is. Is it necessary that I install an updated version of NVIDIA Graphics Driver? If so, which version is the latest. Also below are the links that both Micorssoft and NVIDIA gave me. Thanks for any help.

You have 3 options, reboot and see if it happens again or go ahead and grab Version: 71.89 install that, even if you already have updated to that version previously then it might have went bad.
Or go to the computer manufacturers webste and see if tehy have a driver for it.
I prefer to go with the computer manufacturer versions myself if teh rest of teh computer is stock, unless that poses a conflict then I'll see what it's conflicting with and update what ever it's conflicting with. If still buggy then I'll go to the componet manufacturer sites,

Yea I have always had issues with microsft drivers for componets. I only use microsft to update microsoft products.
There is an ethical line that microsoft crosses by releasing updates for componets. Sometimes they have permission, sometimes they don't. Wouldnt bother me as much if they didnt go to such great lengths to protect thier stuff that it makes it a bother for me to activate my Microsoft stuff and keep a current Genuine Microsoft Validation Tool software so they know I purchased it.

So what do you think I should do at this point?

OK, that's what I was thinking. Will you be around if it happens again?
Thanks for your help!
