Hi Pete.
I use Driver Agent myself, I have to say, its quite good at finding those odd
hard to get drivers for those miscellaneous components in laptops for example.
For instance, where does one download the Alps GlidePad driver, the Ricoh multi
card reader etc etc. Just a couple of the odd components I've had innumerable
difficulties locating drivers for over the years with the many laptops I've
owned and used. Also, these services put all the drivers in the one place, and
more often than not have more up-to-date drivers than the laptop manufacturers
provide or make available for download.
Horses for courses as the saying goes, but although Driver Agent occasionally
gets it wrong, more often I've had accurate results on each computer scan.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Thanks for that Steve. There is not much point in paying for something if it
simply causes more hastle.

Hi Eleanor and Peter,
I am here.
At the time, I believe I recommended Driver Genius. The problem with all
these things however, I have discovered, is that they misidentify drivers. I
have found that on a test machine I have here, which has a SoundBlaster Live
5.1 in it, it kept referring me to SoundBlaster Audigy drivers, which won't
install, because they don't see the hardware. But it isn't only Creative they
had trouble with.
So now, I do it all myself.
All the best
Steve

Why not e-mail Steve and ask him. If you do not have his e-mail address he
is at computer room services.

Windows XP Home and JAWS
I used Driver Agent to check drivers etc. The subscription has now rung
out and I remember that another program was recommended by Steve Nutt.
I did not make a note - I was not expecting to use this type of software
again.
Any suggestions or comments please.
