You should NOT use winupdate for any drivers - unless you like grief.
There have been problems with corrupt drivers, the drivers may not be
specific for yr hardware.

Don't use Windowsupdate for any drivers that are available at the
manufacturer's website.

Your best bet is to get them straight from www.nvidia.com
