Clicked on link, registered for the CES 3 day account, got email, logged in, downloaded DriverAgent, ran, and so far liked the driver links it provided. I printed out the list, then w/ a pencil, wrote down the filenames for each driver / or driver update I downloaded. I didn't download the one for my Nvidia based video card, as the link was from the "wrong" video card manufacturer. (Probably would've worked, but I'll get it from my video card manufacturer just to be sure). Also noticed that DriverAgent sometimes listed multiple driver update needed for related components of 1 device (my keyboard in this instance). Anyone know if you can use this in the next 3 days on multiple PC's? UPDATE: I consider myself pretty much in the upper level PC tech experience category. So, I am very familar with identifying hardware components, downloading and installing the proper drivers, etc. I regularly check a PC's Device Manager to make sure nothing has a serious problem. However, I still found DriverAgent useful. I work on probably 40 systems a year, so it can be time consuming. And on my personal, #1 system, it found 4 of my devices that had updated drivers - mouse, keyboard, ethernet and enhanced Intel chipset drivers for my USB ports, the last 2 drivers being the most important, and now may perform better. For best results, I suggest you only install updated drivers only if you have a backup of your important files - as a bad driver or bad install can sometimes bring a system down. |
