Hoe do I prevent the installing of particular updates

[shashgo]

and then make it so the computer never asks me to install them again?

I have windows 7, and occasionally the computer asks me to install windows 7 service pack 1 or a video driver or something.  I have installed the windows 7 SP and also the video driver update.  Everytime the video driver update happens, my video becomes low resolution, so how do I prevent this update from ever appearing in the updates list again?  I havent had any problems since I downloaded the windows 7 SP, but if there ever is one, then Id like to uninstall it and prevent it from ever being installed again.  How do I do that

1) NEVER install drivers from Windows Update. Drivers should always be obtained from the OEM websites.
2) Right-click on any update you don't want to see again and select "Hide"

Also turn off Automatic Updates...
It will still notify you of new ones and you can review/reject them as you go...

oh thanks guys.  The right click of an update and choosing hide worked.
