The best way to update hardware drivers is through Windows Device Manager: click on the hardware item; click properties; click Drivers; click update. This will up date to the latest MS driver or manufacture driver for that device ... IF IT is needed ... FREE.
Egg on my face. I will definitely do that. On a side note, everything I did, I hit something right, as it seems to be operating okay. Thank you very much, for your help!
