You can disable that particular update from appearing again in Windows Update. nVidia drivers and Vista have a loathe/hate relationship and I speak from experience. If the old one works fine, continue to use it.
(BTW, you may be able to just rollback the old driver from Device Manager without going through System Restore.)
hurtingbad,
You are running a Nvidia GeForce 6000 series video card. I believe (and please don't quote me) Nvidia combined drivers above 81.98 require certain components of Net Frame Work and will fail installation if Frame Work is not installed first. This may be a cause of your problems.
(Suggest, You Follow Scott's Instructions Above. He is Right on Point.)
If you have an old good Nvidia 6000 series card driver which works well, use it. There is really nothing to be gained performances wise by changing video drivers for your existing 6000 series card.
There is much history concerning Nvidia Combined Drivers which I'm sure you don't care to hear about (LOL).

NO problem.
(UNCHECK) THE BOX BESIDE (HPWUSCHDA) ITEM IN START-UP TAB.
REBOOT.
The link below will give you some info about the HP update process which you just stopped.

It is a bit more complicated because there is a SERVICE connected with this but let's see what happens in the future.
