    im literally losing my mind here this is sooo frustrating. I'm trying to update the graphics driver on my office PC, and the custom install option fails immediately:

    Windows Update

    Windows Update
We couldn't complete the updates.
Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.

Error code: 0x800f0922

    "Not compatible with this version of Windows." Windows Update says Im fully up to date. The SiS 650 VGA Driver page supports Windows NT. Is the installer checking something besides the OS version? i feel like Im missing something obvious. i even tried downloading it on another computer and copying it over, just in case teh file was corrupted. Same error, same instant failure. i am honestly running out of ideas.

    that error is often misleading. installers check teh GPUs hardware ID against their INF file, not just the OS. open Device Manager > Display adapters > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids and compare. if you grabbed the desktop package for a laptop GPU (or vice versa), youll get this exact message.
