    Maybe everyone knows about this program already.
    http://www.driveragent.com/
    Supposedly it can diagnose your PC to determine if any drivers are out of date.
    I ran it. It came up with a few recommendations, but when I did some further reading I was not sure whether the recommendations applied to the version of the hardware I had. With this uncertainty, and since I usually try not to fix something that is working, I did not.
    Will be interested in hearing the views of others.

    Hi Jim, I had a look at Driveragent and agree with your comments. Not enough info to go ahead and update as per their recommendations.

    Also, and this may not be related but when I closed the Driveragent scan window to go back to the BBS window I found the BBS window frozen. I could open another IE application but could not do anything with the original. Even could not close it using the task manager. Only thing that worked to close IE was the three finger salute and a restart and only then after a BSOD or two. :eek: Tried it twice just to be sure.

    May be peculiar to my Win98SE setup or not. :confused:

    Sooo... Driveragent scan is NOT for me.

    Agree, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! :rolleyes:

    I had the same issue after visiting that site some time back. I also have Win98SE and used IE. It recommended multiple updates for me. I ignored the suggestions. My PC runs to good to be messing with it.
