video driver update

Hi,

Some driver updates have been shown to cause Vista to ask for reactivation.
The majority I've seen have been related to the drive controllers and
motherboard. I don't recall a single instance or a video driver causing
this issue. If it should happen, you'll just have to go through the phone
activation method. It's inconvenient, but you will be able to reactivate.

You see. The thing is I live on a small island in the Caribean (Curacao, bet
you guys never heard of it!) so I don't think that the phone thing will be an
option for me!
Thanks for the replies though

Well, should it come to that (phone activation), which it shouldn't, the
Activation Wizard will provide a number for you.

"You can contact the appropriate regional Microsoft Product Activation
Center by selecting the Activate by Telephone option in the Product
Activation Wizard. As soon as you select your country or region, the
appropriate telephone number will be displayed."
