1200 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Anyone here know any free program or website that has the lastest drivers? Window update does not has the lastest drivers; well, it does has mine. Most programs i knew are commercial and only let you know which driver is out of date. Tried to google but does not help. thanks Nlite Tutorial, Wireless Security Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators rridgely Posted April 14, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 14, 2007 I misunderstood what you wanted. I thought you were looking for a specific driver. Generally its best to check the manufactorers website for driver info. I don't know of a free program to just update them all. Usually if something is working and there are no problems its better to just leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_ Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 For anyone who does not understand his question, he's looking for an application that looks if any of the drivers on a system is outdated ? la http://www.drivermagician.com/ but freeware. http://www.last.fm/user/Matt714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice program that Matt. I've just downloaded it for a 15 day trial. Has quite a few good backup features. A couple of screen shots. I've already backed up all my drivers, which now takes the risk out of updating them. Also has a Restore feature for all backups. Here's a thought. I installed and ran this under Power Shadow, so when I shut down my pc tonight will these screenshots mysteriously disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200 Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Believe me, most manufactores don't have the lastest updates. One of the reason i think is because so they could sell to other corporations such as driver genuis professional, driver magian, driver detective and driver guide. All those are commercials. Driverguide.com is awesome only if you paid, but you could get most the drivers for free though.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 15, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 15, 2007 Believe me, most manufactores don't have the lastest updates. It's true they don't have the lastest or even recommended versions. Although if you for instance have a Dell LCD monitor you're stuck using their driver even if the monitor is made by Sony. The same goes for rebranded printer/scanner hardware too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
