Default Nvidia Graphics Driver Problem?

I have a nvidia Geforce Go 6150 that i seem to be having a few problems with, when i download the updated driver that my computer keeps wanting me to download.

Its listed as an important update in my HP Total care advisor
and its a Nvidia VGA Driver.


Like i said ive tried updating this more than a few times and every time i do
as soon as i run the install and the driver is installed windows keeps telling me that the driver failed and fixed itself. and this happens about every 3 mins.

ive come to the conclusion that i cant be the only person with this problem and that its the driver right?

if not how can it be my laptop, its brand new

Do not use it!

I have an Nvidia card and MS Update keeps trying to shove an Nvidia WHQL driver onto the system. It totally locks up the video and I have to do a rerpair install to get the PC operational again.

Multiple other drivers work fine.

Thought for the new millenium:
