I would like to uninstall the optional nVidia Video update. It's listed as
nVidia - Video- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX on the update history. Is there a way
to uninstall these Optional Windows Update? This updated driver is unstable
and BSOD my system upon waking up from Sleep Mode. Unfortunately, I found out
days after the installation so I can't do System Restore. Thanks in advance
for any advices.

Have you tried "Programs and Features" in Control Panel? Maybe you can
uninstall via that.

Your best bet is to go to the nVidia site and download the drivers for your
card from there and install them.
