    My wireless N usb network adapter keeps getting updated to Ralink version 3.0.1.0 driver date 5/25/2009. However Microsoft version 3.0.0.61 driver date 2/26/2009 has more features and gves me speeds of 270mbps whereas the Ralink driver onluy gives me a maximum of 54mbps. I would like to know if there is away to keep windows from updating this particular piece of hardware but still update the rest of my machine...My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate...
