I guessing here as you don't provide needed information.
Are you running Vista? If so, have you tried going back to a restore point 
previous to the river installation?

As a general rule, it's a really bad idea to install hardware driver updates 
through WU. You only need to update drivers *if* you are having issues with 
that hardware, and you should go direct to the hardware maker for drivers.

Re: video driver issues   

I'm running wind xp sp2, downloaded the latest security updates and rebooted 
comp a little while ago, now everything seems just fine(still researching 
this issue though). Also you mentioned sys restore, I tried that before the 
orig post and every restore point I selected would not work. Things seem to 
be running fine, just a little slow. Thanks for the info and help.
