Of course, to find that info or download the patch, you needed a web browser... and Firefox couldn't open... thankfully Microsoft gave us both 64-bit and 32-bit browsers. :)
Thankfully, when the drivers do work (and of course, an new driver has been released since those early days) they work well. :)
