Truely free drivers

Go to drivers.com and get free scan
They will tell you exactly which drivers you need. DONT pay them!!!!!

bob I have an issue over drivers. I have run driverAgent and got the 24% bad drivers. I noted them and found that there is no newer version of them anywhere even on the official site. I rerun the scan the same result appear. What to do really????

My take is that you should only install new drivers *if needed*. For example: Printer working right? Why take a chance on the new software version having compatibility issues or the like. Also, it's best to know what you have and if you do want to install drivers, install only the ones you want. In any event, as mentioned above, go to the manufacturer's site and get the correct ones for free. -- Need 24% new drivers?? Hmmm.... and they charge for the service?? I'm surprised they didn't say you need 90% new drivers...
