    Driver updates

    Hi all,
    is there a program out there that will check to see if all of your drivers are up to date? And if so will it allow you to download updated versions of drivers?


    Thanks

    Big Will

    Windows Update allows for some hardware driver updates.

    there was a program I seem to remember that would scan your computer, then look for updates to software! I think it search for drivers too.

    I'll rack my brains [and run a "storeroom" search] to see if I can find it.
