Question
What is the best way to update drivers? I ran a driver program and need to update 18 drivers. I would prefer to keep my $29.95. Thanks!

Answer
Hi Jaye

The best way without using a program would be to do it yourself.  What I do is go to DriverGuide:
http://www.driverguide.com
Membership is free to sign up and search for drivers to download.  They have a tool called DriverScan which you can use to find out what drivers you have that need upgrading.  Then just search and download them.  The program and the site both try really hard to make you buy premium features, but you needn't spend any money.  If you already ran a program that found 18 drivers to update, just search for those drivers.  Most are available on the hardware manufacturers site or on DriverGuide.  If you need help locating them, just let me know.
