Solved Is it possible to scan the computer for outdated drivers?

[Melita]

I am using Windows 7 in my Acer Aspire 5250 lap-top. Is there a programme that I can use to scan the computer to find out what drivers need updating?

Thank you,

I take it your Computer is working well ? .... If that is the case no need or reason to update Drivers ..


Not always the newest Version of a Driver is the best ...


The Manufacturer of your Computer might have newer Versions of your Drivers ...

Does this apply to, Windows drivers and the manufacturers drivers both? The computer is working well.

Yes Windows Drivers are never the latest Versions ... I have seen many times people updating Drivers which have caused problems ..

Someone wiser than me told me "If it ain't broke don't fix it!"

Don't download or use any software that declares the ability to scan all your drivers and update all your drivers. Far wiser techs than I gave me this advice long ago, and I follow it.

OK, I just changed driver update settings (attachment). Please confirm this is good.

 

[maxie]

Yep

Could you also tell me how I can make an attachment like mine above, appear as a link in my post, instead of this gaudy full page display?

Here is a tutorial than many members prefer for screen shots because we don't want to off site to see something. We also don't want to tick on a word like (Google) and not know where it is going to send us.

Example:
Someone post: Tick Here to see what problem I'm having.

No way in hell I'm ticking on Here. Because I have no way of knowing where that Here sends me until it's to late.

Sorry, I just realized that I have to know something. Layback Bear's tutorial method - does the attachment appear full picture or as a link only, until you click on it?. If it is full picture, is it possible to make it appear a link only and not the full picture, until clicked on? This, when uploading screen shot from my computer. So, no 'hyperlink method' as in the you tube videos is possible.

Regards,

Things appear like this when you follow the tutorial.
When you read the tutorial you will discover that their is a size limit.

Any Answers for the second part of my question please?

..............is it possible to make it appear a link only and not the full picture, until clicked on? This, when uploading screen shot from my computer. So, no 'hyperlink method' as in the you tube videos is possible.

Sort of impossible i think as there is nothing to Link it to ...
