[QUOTE="donetao, post: 319933, member: 27614"] I agree mostly with every thing said here. The graphics driver is usually the only one you need to up date and it can be found on the manufactures web site. I however find that manufactures stop up dating drivers once the PC is a few years old. Also I agree that you shouldn't up date drivers unless your having a problem. I have used slim drivers with success. It makes a back up before installing a driver. You have to up date drivers one at a time, but I think that's a good thing. It's free. If you're having a problem, you can see if Slim drivers has a up dated driver for your problem and see if it is newer than your manufactures. Here's a video about slim drivers. I'm not saying you should up date every driver Slim Driver finds. Just use it as a starting or reference point! You should make you're own decision, and don't fix it if it ain't broke.;) [MEDIA=youtube]Mo6S3-2hXxY[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
