No. Windows update doesn't update drivers automatically in any circumstance. When installing a device, you can instruct the OS to go online and find the driver, but it's a manual process, not an automatic one.
Haven't confirmed this myself, but, according to Microsoft Official Academic Course, Windows 7 Configuration, Pg 139, "If Windows 7 is configured to use automatic updating, the system will download device drivers only for hardware that does not have a driver installed."
- To reformat your hand drive using Win98 you need a Win98 boot floppy with reformat and fdisk options on it. To get started, insert the floppy and reboot the system. After the boot you will get a screen that asks you if you want to start windows with CD-Rom support, press the shift and F5 keys and you will get the prompt (a:\) type format c:/s This will reformat your hard drive with the system tools installed. If you need to create a new portion follow the steps above and when you get the a:\ prompt type fdisk and follow the instructions.
- I have reinstalled Windows 98SE after reformatting my hard drive several time. I was never able to directly install SE. First I had to install Windows 98, then insert the 98SE CD and go through the whole installation process again. I could never figure out why I had to first install 98 and then SE, but at least it works for me doing it that way.
- If you had Win98, and then bought the upgrade, you would need both disks to reinstall. Start with the new disk, the upgrade. At some point it will ask you to insert the old disk into the CD drive, so it can verify that you actually had a copy, and weren't just trying to get the upgrade because it costs less, without buying the original or older version. Sounds like that might be what happened.
Lexmark z645 and the disc is 640 but it does not work on your computer this is a printer?
Unless it states otherwise you can usually use most drivers in the z64x family.
Go to Lexmarks support site and see if they have updated drivers. They also have the manuals there.
You can also go into properties and see if you can renew the drivers.
Go to the Device Manager and see if the printer is showing up or not.
Can you see the printer in the computer and does it send the print job but doesn't make it to the printer? If so then if it's connected to a router via USB then it's probably a network problem, either the login or the connection is the problem. Trade USB cables.
What type of usb is most common on pc's?
Currently the USB 2.0 is the standard although older computers (<2000) will still use the older 1.1. USB 3.0 has been developed (completed in November 2008) but not released due to some incompatibilities with the 2.0 hardware.

There are numerous variations on this theme available for the Mac - Void being a personal favourite.

What is the difference between a 14-day window and a 30-day buffer on inquiries?
As told to me today by my financial advisor, a 14 day window means that you can have your credit pulled more than once within a 14 day time frame without it counting against you. After the 14th day any credit pull will count against you again bringing your credit rating down. Once every 30 days is okay or within a 14 day time.

What does Windows use to detect new hardware when you add new hardware devices to Windows 95 or 98?
Plug and Play
windows is a plug & play OS so every time you add a new device it will give you a new hardware found prompt.to prevent this you must remove the hardware or let windows try to find the driver if you try to cancel it it will just show up on the next boot so try to install it even if you don't have the drivers windows will just put it on your system without a driver.it won't hurt your system and you won't get the NEW HARDWARE FOUND PROMPT AGAIN.
