Hi George,
I think this chap is using Driver Agent, http://www.driveragent.com, and I
must say it is excellent. I paid my 29 dollars 95 happily, and it has so
far found all the drivers I need. It beats manually checking.
All the best

Beware of sites like this. They are known to be suspect.
It might be best to start by installing the free Belarc Advisor from
www.belarc.com getting a report, and then working your way through the
hardware checking for updated drivers on each manufacturer's web site.
However, before doing all that, it might just pay to have your PC stripped
down, the dust blown out, and all the boards and connectors re-seated.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] Updating Drivers
Hello,
A device driver is causing my computer to re-boot, apparently at=20 random.
The Microsoft error report screen says that this is an=20 unknown device
driver, and therefore cannot say from where it can be=20 updated. A scan on
a website tells me that 27 per cent of the=20 drivers on my PC should be
updated. From this site drivers can be=20 downloaded, but at a cost of 29
dollars for an annual=20 subscription. Can Windows XP home be used to
search for and download=20 the relevant drivers, or will I have to search
for each one=20 myself? I have tried Windows Update, and the only thing I
can find=20 there is the Microsoft Installer, which for some reason my
system=20 will not install!
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Christopher
