    The system works fine until the update complete. Once the machine re-start after the update, the screen goes blank. Specialy after it's update the nVidia 5200 driver. I tried 3 times, the same thing happen. Can I stop/cancel the update? Or any other solution?

    I'm using Dell 8300 3.0   Pentium IV 2.5GB RAM

     Hmm thats weird, It might just be because the card is older. But still you might want to send feedback on it.

     That I'm aware of you can't. But you can try to install the Vista drivers, most of the time those drivers work in Win7.

    Hi there,

    Try going to Nvidia.com and downloading the latest installer for your 5200 there for Vista.

    When I installed my Geforce drivers using the Vista driver installer, it clearly showed that Nvidia had bundled in Windows 7 drivers.

    Then you might want to turn Windows Update back on, but when it comes up with the nVidia drivers, just uncheck them and keep them from installing.

    Well you still might want to get a Vista driver for your video card, that should make it look better. I put the links to the drivers below. But as you can still see your desktop, you must be using the generic drivers, so you can use most things, but it just will not be as clean and pretty as it could be.

    Vista 64bit
