I recently tried to install windows update for ATI4379 Serial ATA controller. The error stated that a driver already had this "name" and aborted. Any fixes on this? Looking for online help only gives generic troubleshooting hints.
Thanks

OK, I just assumed that since this is a Vista Community, that it would go without saying.
I currently am using Vista SP1 on an Acer Aspire 5100 with 1 GB RAM and 32 bit operating system.
Can someone help me with my original question? Thanks.

Strongly suggest you visit the Acer web site to see if there is a more recent driver and *if* Acer provides instructions on how to install it: LINK

My computer is also an Acer 5100 etc... and the first update for ATI4379 Serial ATA controller didn't install. The second and third updates (2007/07/07 and 2007/12/07) installed normally and the last update (2008/09/09) didn't install for five attempts.
My question is, where Microsoft gets this drivers and why they install sometimes and sometimes not...
When the actual driver works fine, why update? There must be a reason.
Silicon Image states: "Silicon Image's designs and develops chips which are used on many boards, built by many different manufacturers. These manufacturers develop the drivers, firmware and software for their boards. Therefore, Silicon Image is unable to support these products. Please contact the manufacturer."
So I put the question again: Where Microsoft gets this drivers? Is there an automated system that grabs the drivers at each computer manufacturer for any model and send it to each registered user?
Besides this, the referred update is sometimes labeled as optional and sometimes as recommended.
Should I try to install tis update? Is it worth all the work?
Can anybody help me? Thanks!!!
