| | Is DriverMAX safe to update with? Im running build 7077, and DriverMAX shows a lot of drivers that have updates, but the ones it says are old are the ones that say 6.1.7077.0 |

| | Check the 'version' and make sure it is not reporting a Windows Vista, or *shudder* XP version - and no it is not necessarily safe to update, especially if you replace a Windows 7 native driver with an incompatible driver.... |

| | You are presented with a list that links you to the driver, but my guess would be that currently it does not. |

| | I personally think that applications such as drivermax and , when it comes to drivers, even Windows Update, need to be treated as a guide that updates are available. When you are aware that an update is available then you can make the decision to update or not. In addition I would also by preference always choose the driver from the manufacturer's site rather than the Windows one. We have to remember that apart from MS hardware devices Microsoft do not write Drivers With a Beta OS this however this has to be adjusted as it is quite possible that the Windows version will be the latest as the manufacturer may well not make the Beta OS drivers directly available |

| | Bravo - now you're talking, Barman. What he said - use it as a guide to check for updates - but get the updates yourself. |
