    I am new in the business of fixing PC's in the local area. It seems to me life would be a whole lot easier if there was a driver update program that i could use wherever I go to rearch for all drivers and update as required. Would save the hassle of searching multiple sites for all the updates and loading individually which is very time consuming. Any hints or suggestions out ther?

    Hi and welcome to MG's,

    The usual "caveat" here is not to use driver finding software, as they can "royally F**K" a machine up!!. it is ok to let them find the required drivers, but, never let them install them. We always advise to go to manufactures site for drivers or if OEM use their sites (dell/hp/samsung...etc).

    We here at MG's have various drivers available to download....

    also..... http://majorgeeks.com/SlimDrivers_d6737.html ... which is amongst others available here..... http://majorgeeks.com/downloads28.html

    I hope this helps,..... If you get stuck with finding the correct driver for "ANY" system that you are working on, you can always post here for assistance ;), you will come across a wealth of knowledge and some very helpfull fellow geeks :major

    Unless you're reinstalling an OS from original disk(which I doubt any customer ever has) drivers don't normally need updating. Aside from video drivers, I've only updated one other and that was my chipset when I changed to a dual core. I always say 'if it ain't broke then ...'. Totally agreed with iain.t
