Updating Drivers Before SP2 Installation ??

I tried to download the SP2 update from the website several months ago and had lots of problems. I eventually (through help within this site) had to "uninstall" it.

I now have the CD for the SP2 and am going to try to run it this next week.

I see many references as to "updating drivers" prior to running the software. Do I need to contact all manufacturers of the drivers that show up in the "devices" on My Computer? Is there an automatic way to do this? Perhaps there are just a few of them that I need to check on??

FYI... the computer I have is about 3 yrs old and had XP installed when purchased. I don't know if this indicates that it's likely in need of many driver updates or not.

Some comments will be appeciated.

Thanks.
