I have an older Dell 530 desktop running Windows XP SP3.
I just spent over an hour looking for drivers for my ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT Graphics card before i found a legitimate Web site that actually had the correct drivers! Doing a Google search put the Web site that I needed way down at the bottom of the list and gave me a bunch of other Web sites above that one that were trying to get me to download garbage software that had nothing to do with my graphics card. One web site almost convinced me to download 7-zip thinking it was the drivers I needed......what a pain in the butt!
Maybe it's me and my searching abilities but it seems that more and more sites get you to think you're at the correct web site to get what you're looking for only to disguise the download making it look like you've found what you were looking for when it's actually not !! Bastids.....
So.....is there an easy way to figure out what hardware I have that needs updated drivers on my harddrive? I'm even talking about things like my chipset or bios or ethernet connection, etc...
Or..... is there free software that's honest in looking for updated drivers for the hardware/software that I have on my PC?
