    Hi,
    I upgraded my AAO to Vista + SP1. Now I’ve a question about the drivers:
    1) I read somewhere online, that you can’t trust the Windows Update for updating the drivers – is it so? Do I have to manually download drivers?
    2) Is a software like driver magic useful?

    1. Ofc you can trust those (you still trust that one to update your Windows? :roll: ), but they might not work as well as manufacturers drivers.
    If you can't load them with that Windows updater...Yes you have to download them manually. And yes, you have to unzip some of those.
    2. Yes
