Hi Steve - I just tried to do the free scan from the driver agent website, but got an activeX error, and can't see how to correct this. Any thoughts? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 10:54 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Updating Drivers | Hi George, | | I think this chap is using Driver Agent, http://www.driveragent.com, and I | must say it is excellent.
