Solved Freeware Driver updater/fixer?

[AngryCircle]

i have 9 errors apparently with what ever software i use to check. but to fix the errors ive got to pay a stupid amount of money to fix, EVEN tho they SAID it was FREE.

Anyone know of a FREE program to fix these 9 driver issues

That is how they suck you in to take your money.
Free scan but pay to fix it.
Just stay away from all the "Free" online scan to check your drivers or for virus's etc.
Some will steal all your personal data off your PC or install virus/trojans on your PC to do so.

If your PC is working right then you don't need anything fixed.
If your having a problem then you came to the right place for FREE help.

Whatever antivirus software you are using be sure to run a full scan now to make sure something wasn't added by the driver checker already.

Then if your having a problem please post what is happening.

Ive been getting constant BSOD, (already made a post in crashes and debugging)

i think its my drivers, cause i check my event viewer and it says Atapi was the most of the errors. and i wanted to know how to fix the drivers that have errors.

 

[Hopalong X]

I wasn't sure if you were having problems or were going by the third party on line scanner.

Someone will help you in Crashes and Debugging as soon as someone is available to do so.
That isn't my specialty reading BSOD reports.

We are all volunteers so please be patient someone will read through it and post on that thread.

Good luck.

windows update is (mostly) good with updating drivers...free too! (well it is once you've paid for windows )

thanks for your help people

After seeing your thread in Crashes and Debugging, I wouldn't worry about those 9 "bad" drivers until you get those other issues sorted out. Probably also find that whatever is causing the problems in the other thread is causing the driver problems as well.

Thank you. Me and a few gurus are trying to get it resolved.

I’m using driver max for about 3 years and I assure you it’s FREE but, with a restriction to download only 2 drivers a day while the download is totally open for the paid version.
If you install the free one (like me) hover above the section (Online account) and the last one as you see is (Upgrade to Pro). From this you can see it’s a free program.
See my screenshot.

Well it's not free any more?

In the FWIW Department: the best place to get updated drivers is from your computer manufacturer's support site. The second best place is from the device manufacturer's website. When a company like Nvidia (just as an example) releases a new driver, a computer manufacturer like Sony or Dell or Asus is free to modify that driver any way they want for their own line of computers. That's why an updated driver isn't always the best choice.

When it comes to drivers, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I still don't understand why people want to pay a 3rd party for a service that is essentially free. If you know the computer manufacturer (and there is no reason why not, especially if it is from HP, Dell, etc., as there should be a clear label on the case showing that as well as a model/serial number) or you have built the computer yourself (and therefore should know what hardware is installed), then you can get these drivers (and more) from the manufacturers websites.
