Baha: I don’t usually update drivers either (unless I’m forced to by a non-working version) for the reason I mentioned earlier. It was pretty straight forward though in my case – ie. the newbie route.
After finding the Device Manager, I went through the list available (starting with my wireless card) and double clicked each device. A pop up window appeared and I clicked on the ‘Drivers’ tab, which displays info about the driver – e.g. version number and date of release. There is a button that allows you to ‘update driver’ and clicking on it will allow connection to Windows. A little while later I either received a message saying it couldn’t find anything better, or (as in the case for mywireless card) it automatically installed (I chose this option earlier) and updated the driver.

Hi, I have never updated the drivers on my pc its an old dell p3 running xp pro. I wanted to know the proper way of going about updating my drivers for it and what all should be updated. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I should go about doing it.

Thanks :) I finally got round to updating the driver for my wireless card and I think it might have improved the connection! (it kept disconnecting) … I had been searching for drivers online but it turns out that Windows update system had one ‘on file’…

I’ve always been of the ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ camp… but I guess if it means improved functionality and new features…
