Are you having Windows do the update or are you doing it yourself? Windows
will only update if it can find any NEWER versions, If you do it, the system
does not care if they are newer or older. I up and down grade at will
without any problems.

Sorry, missed that part of this thread. Still too soon to switch to Vista,
not enough driver support, and even then it is shaky at best. And you are
right, on the VISTA page there is no seperate file option/link. They don't
expect anyone to want them I guess.
