Windows Update not installing optional update

[Steve]

I have an optional Update for Realtek - Network - Realtek PCIe FE Family
Controller. I've tried updating it through the Windows Update program on my
Windows Vista Home Premium x64 Bit OS. It has not worked. I have gone to
realtek's website and installed the update from their website directly and
installed without a problem. I tried uninstalling the update and
reinstalling it. But this optional update in Windows Update. How can I get
rid of this update w/o hiding it and will not notify my of this update in the
future?

Thank you in advance!!!!!!!

You can't, just hide it and forget it. It's not worth the worry.

Believe that Windows update is correctly updating your driver, but somehow is
not recognizing that the appropriate driver has been updated, so it always
appears as an optional update, but fails when selected. Hide it and forget
it.

After re-running windows update, shows an optional update which, if
executed, gives the following.

Can anyone direct me to an official MS statment of action on the proper
resolution to the error?
