Device drivers Found lots of software to scan my PC for up to date drivers, but though they all claim to be 'free' none of them are. Yes they'll tell you which devices need an updated driver but then require you to pay for the new driver. Are any of them honest and free means free, to check and to update. update device drivers download

If everything works the way it is supposed to, there is no reason to update your drivers. Don't fix what's not broke. If a website is telling you to download new drivers, they are just trying to scam you.

Is there anything that is not working? You can download the newest drivers here.

What OS are you running on your machine???

If your have XP installed then you can update the drivers from your device managernselectt device right click and update.
If you don't have the disk then let the wizard find the correct drivers for you,point the wizard at the c drive or search the internet with windows assistance.

Have yoiu had any updates upgrades or device changes???

This sometimes effects them too.
Remove & reinstall ist the only way sometimes,,,,,

A format may take care of this issue also so back up your stuff and start again

Hope this helps ,please rate me thanks
