    I have an optional Update for Realtek - Network - Realtek PCIe FE Family
    Controller. I've tried updating it through the Windows Update program on my
    Windows Vista Home Premium x64 Bit OS. It has not worked. I have gone to
    realtek's website and installed the update from their website directly and
    installed without a problem. I tried uninstalling the update and
    reinstalling it. But this optional update in Windows Update. How can I get
    rid of this update w/o hiding it and will not notify my of this update in the
    future?

    Thank you in advance!!!!!!!

    You can't, just hide it and forget it. It's not worth the worry.

    Believe that Windows update is correctly updating your driver, but somehow is
    not recognizing that the appropriate driver has been updated, so it always
    appears as an optional update, but fails when selected. Hide it and forget
    it.

    After re-running windows update, shows an optional update which, if
    executed, gives the following.

    Can anyone direct me to an official MS statment of action on the proper
    resolution to the error?
