Do you guys recommend installing......

a driver detective program? I downloaded one tonight and it's showing that out of 62 drivers.....29 are out of date. It costs $29.95 and then 9.95 for an additional year subscription. The out of date drivers are my NVIDIA ones (audio and video) which I noticed aren't functioning well. Waddya think.......go for it? What are you guys doing to keep your drivers up to date anyways?

I would just go to the Nvidia website and look and see what the current drivers are and if they fix whatever isn't functioning well.

I only update drivers if there is some problem I am having or if there is some big advantage to doing so. And I always get them from the company's website.

Well hello there Billiam

Great idea.....the first time I went there they wanted my registration key and I laughed and "X'd" out of there. So after you mentioned it..I tried again and they just offered a scan and told me I was verified and continued to look for my updates Weeeeeeeeeeee hope it works.

no. don't fool around with the drivers unless something is wrong. If something is wrong, get them from the manufacturer's website.
