Hi Andy,
In Windows Update, select "Custom" instead of Express. It
will then tell you if there are any hardware or software
updates needed as well as critical ones.
George.

Hi George -
I've 1024 of ram, and about 80GB HD space on this machine.
All Microsoft updates are installed.
You asked: "have you
| checked Windows Update to see what it thinks needs
hardware
| updates for?"
I'm not sure where to do this?
I'm using XPHome with service pack2
Any more thoughts? -
Andy

| Hi Andy,
|
| Video and Sound drivers are the two most risky areas where
| screen readers are concerned. It's always safer to have
| sighted help to hand.
|
| BTW, how much memory do you have in your system, and how
| much free hard drive space have you got?
|
| Likewise, what operating system and version of it? Does
the
| system have all the critical updates applied, and have you
| checked Windows Update to see what it thinks needs
hardware
| updates for?
|
| George.

| Hi George -
|
| This feels a bit scary then, if I listen to some people,
| they say "make sure
| all your drivers are up to date" but in the case of the
ATI
| drivers it sound
| best to leave well alone. I'm trying to sort out this
| problem I have when
| trying to rip music cds, or use Windows Media Player,
where
| my PC keeps
| freezing, and was wondering if the ATI drivers might be
| causing the problem?
|
| The scan of my PC for drivers produced an update driver
for
| my serial bus;
| could installing this create problems too?
|
| These websites recommending an update to drivers make it
all
| sound so easy,
| but it isn't in reality <smile> -

|| Hi Andy,
||
|| You don't need to uninstall the old ATI drivers, but I'd
| be
|| a shade wary about installing new video drivers without
|| sighted help to hand. It will most likely break the video
|| chain to your screen reader, leaving you without speech,
| and
|| the necessity to re-install your screen reader.

||
|| Hi all -
||
|| I'm pasting my message from yesterday here again, as it
| got
|| no responce, and
|| I'm sure there are people on this list that can help, so
|| please do if you
|| can, it's always apreciated.
||
|| Start of message:
||
|| Hi all -
||
|| Ok, a scan of my PC tells me that certain drivers need
|| updating, and I'm
|| trying to understand quite what to do, and what I need to
|| download!
||
|| When I click on the link from driveragent.com to update
| the
|| driver, the page
|| that comes up says:
||
|| "The following packages will provide display drivers and
|| capture drivers
|| that can be used with various video capture programs."
||
|| And then it lists what is in the package, the first thing
|| being the display
|| driver, is this all I'll need, or will I need the rest of
|| the package that
|| includes things like 'catalyst control centre' or the
'WDM
|| Integrated
|| Driver.'
||
|| Can I ask too, if I need to uninstall from 'add/remove'
|| within the control
|| panel, the existing ati drivers that these updates are to
|| replace?
||
|| Thanks as ever -
||
|| Andy
