How do I check for outdated drivers in W7?
I know you can use a minidump file to check for outdated drivers, but what if you don't have any dump files or anything recent? I want to know if there's a way to check all my drivers like you would in the dump file for outdated drivers? aka drivers that need to be updated and could possibly cause problems.
I've tried Google but all I see are using Windows Update or checking Device Manager which isn't very helpful.
As an example, from this thread I created a long time ago, this user gave me a list of outdated drivers:
I was never able to figure out how he did that, so I'm hoping one of you know. The reason I'm doing this is because I recently had to do a System Repair and I remember having driver issues (like in that thread) before. Currently my desktop icons that I have set to transparent are showing as black boxes.Code:ASACPI.sys 3/27/2005 10:30:36 PM fffff880`0451c000 fffff880`04524000 0x00008000 0x42476c4c secdrv.SYS 9/13/2006 09:18:38 AM fffff880`078d6000 fffff880`078e1000 0x0000b000 0x4508052e regi.sys 4/16/2007 11:19:10 AM fffff880`06fd9000 fffff880`06fe1000 0x00008000 0x462393ee RivaTuner64.sys 7/17/2007 03:13:42 PM fffff880`07d9c000 fffff880`07da3000 0x00007000 0x469d14e6 000.fcl 9/26/2008 09:11:22 AM fffff880`07937000 fffff880`07962000 0x0002b000 0x48dcdf7a spldr.sys 5/11/2009 12:56:27 PM fffff880`015e1000 fffff880`015e9000 0x00008000 0x4a0858bb spsys.sys 5/11/2009 01:20:58 PM fffff880`07c00000 fffff880`07c71000 0x00071000 0x4a085e7a GEARAspiWDM.sys 5/18/2009 08:17:04 AM fffff880`044c4000 fffff880`044d1000 0x0000d000 0x4a1151c0 amdxata.sys 5/19/2009 01:56:59 PM fffff880`010f2000 fffff880`010fd000 0x0000b000 0x4a12f2eb yk62x64.sys 5/20/2009 04:14:06 AM fffff880`0443d000 fffff880`044a1000 0x00064000 0x4a13bbce ADIHdAud.sys 5/21/2009 04:21:06 AM fffff880`05b46000 fffff880`05bbf000 0x00079000 0x4a150ef2 LHidFilt.Sys 6/17/2009 12:49:39 PM fffff880`06a9a000 fffff880`06aad000 0x00013000 0x4a391ea3 LMouFilt.Sys 6/17/2009 12:49:43 PM fffff880`06aba000 fffff880`06ace000 0x00014000 0x4a391ea7 PxHlpa64.sys 6/23/2009 07:16:35 PM fffff880`0115d000 fffff880`01168e00 0x0000be00 0x4a416253
