    Check out www.driveragent.com. This site will do an on-line scan of your PC and report back what drivers are out-of-date.

    It has a library of over 100,000 drivers.

    Just ran it on my 9 month old laptop and it reported that I needed to update up to 10 drivers.

    If you register with the site (it will cost you USD$30 per year) you can download the drivers directly.

    If you don't join, the scan is still free and you can screenprint out the results and visit the appropriate sites, yourself.

    Quick and easy to use. Bazza

    How did you do?

    DriverAgent reported about one third of my drivers were out-of-date.

    I think it is not quite that bad as I assume the same driver is used on the entries for the USB controllers (for example).

    Still worthwhile, as I will check out an update for my ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 Display adapter. Bazza

    Hey Bigbazza, Your like the Grandmaster Adviso of New & or Interesting Program's and Utility's :)
    Keep it up :)

    I dont mean to be Negitive :p
    Ever hear the saying "If it Ain't Broke Don't Fix it"

    Some of us don't want the latest drivers at least not when their Brand Spanking New & Buggy

    I always have a problem allowing anything outside my PC to scan my system, IMO kinda invasion of privacy?

    While this driveragent probably isn't a bad thing I'd advise against upgrading a bunch of drivers all at once.
    I'd suggest one at a time & see Attitude

    Find out what drivers you need and go to the manufacturer's website to download it.;)
    The link I posted in #1 (driveragent.com), will check your PC and tell you what drivers are outdated.

    As advised by Asus, do them one at a time.:cool: Bazza
