NEVER update your graphics drivers through Windows Update. Usually something is broken in the Microsoft-provided ones, often OpenGL (yes even on some nVidia cards).

The keyboard update should be fine. Probably just updated special key macros.

Indeed. I completely agree with what masta said.
Also if you get the official update from ATi themselves and install it then the optional update on Windows Update will go away.

I thought Windows Update got the video drivers directly from the manufacturer's website?

Anyhow, I've never had any problems updating them through that.
