If your going to use a secondary program to fetch drivers for you, driverguide is a joke it only allows a limited number of retrievals and most are way out dated and also will give incorrect drivers. Find the manufactures site and check for the latest driver. Some have their own software to located what driver you need for the hardware. For instance Dell I have a inspiron laptop needs wifi driver wireless 1704. Nothing on my unit in the papers with it or even in device manager told me this. Dell has a program called bootstrap which scams your system and relays driver and updates.Sometimes a specific unit may have a few configurations depending on it factory ordered or store bought. This can make a little work if a list of possibilities shows. Luckily in my case there was 1 listing. .
If you do want to go the route of using a secondary program I would suggest SlimDrivers They stay on top of all drivers. I had to find a sound driver that come to find out the company no longer provides service of such (soundmax) Driverguide gave ma and update for soundblaster (2007). I installed it and ended up with no sound what-so-ever. Slimdriver looked it up and found the very last time it was put out (2003).
SlimDrivers Free
Yes there is a paid version but there isn't really any difference other than No ads and a little quicker in search. The ads are primarily at the end of an install and for you to buy the program.

SOURCE: Compaq Presario X1000 laptop

have a look on the web for the "X1000 Maintenance and Service Guide", which contains full disassembly instructions. All you need is a cross-head screw driver and a bit of patience. The Graphics Card (an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200) has a couple of screws and then just plugs into the motherboard - no soldering required! You can usually find these cards at reasonable prices at a well known auction site.
