<p><font size="4">First, don't select any of them unless you first
create a new System Restore Point. ALWAYS create a new System
Restore Point before doing anything that will change the OS, and
it's ability to boot and run.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">I <b><font color="#ff0000">ALWAYS</font></b>
create a new System Restore Point before doing anything to
my/others computers.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Before I let any program update itself, I first
create a new Restore Point.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">If a Windows Update fails, or a software
install/upgrade goes wrong, reverting to a known valid Restore
Point is often the only real remedy.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">I used to work for a software company that
provided, to Microsoft, software that was incorporated into the
Microsoft Windows NT install CD. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">The drivers came from Microsoft, only they were
written by us, not Microsoft.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">You can sometimes get real & proper
manufacturer drivers directly from Microsoft.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Other times the best drivers come from the
hardware manufacturer. It really depends on the specific
hardware configuration.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">So, not knowing anything about your
situation/system, <b><font color="#008080">I would tend to lean
towards leaving things alone right now. If it's not broken,
don't "Fix" it.<br>
</font></b></font></p>
<p><font size="4">I'd run Windows Device Manager and check for
anything that looks yellow/red. Check for anything that looks
like it's in an error state. If nothing stands out, leave
everything alone.</font></p>
<p><font size="4">I'd also run the Windows Event Viewer and check if
Windows is generating lots of red level errors like you see in
this picture:</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Then, you want to take a closer look and see if
you have errors that can either easily be fixed, or are perhaps
suggesting that there is a real problem somewhere. Periodically
checking the event viewer is like taking your car to the
mechanic and asking them to take a look under the hood and check
for anything that might be wrong. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Perhaps you didn't notice anything wrong while you
were driving your car to the mechanic. But then, you find out
your oil is low, tires, and wipers are worn, and brakes are
about to go any day. The mechanic will fix it all, while you
wait, and figure out where the money is going to come from to
fix everything.<br>
