Hi there. I have just subscribed to "driver agent," which is quite
speech friendly, cost $29.95 for ten computers, and it is easy to
use. I've updated successfully just about every driver on my
computer, and there were quite a few out of date as it turns out. :)
The software calls internet explorer, (or your default browser), and
after you're registered, points you to a download page for the needed
drivers after the scan, which is free. It sure saves the hassle of
trying to find the individual drivers, let alone the download pages
for each and every one. When the scan of your computer is complete,
it indicates which need updating by saying, "good, bad, download." If
"bad" is indicated, that driver is either out of date, or an update
is available. There is not a single speech unfriendly part of the
action, so I recommend it highly. The tiny executable can be kept on
your desktop or anywhere you want, so when you feel like checking for
updated drivers, you just run it and bingo, your system is scanned. :)

Well! Being new at this myself, I can tell you what i've done so
far. You can determine the make and model of your video card by
going to CONTROL PANEL/DISPLAY/ADVANCED/PROPERTIES. Then you can
Google that info, and one of the search results should be the
manufacturer's web site. Go there, and in the search box, type the
model name, and you should get to a linnk that says, "drivers".
Also, a friend told me about a web site called DRIVERS.COM but he
cautioned that they are 3rd party drivers, and your results may
vary. Also, many references directed me to a program called Driver
detective, and i downloaded and installed this program. It is
supposed to scan your system and give you a list of drivers that
need to be updated. however, the results seem to be displayed in
the form of a bit map, and it was unreadable with either Window Eyes or JAWS.

I just read an entertaining string of messages. The messages brought
to my attention the importance of updating video drivers. Well, I
have no clue how to do this. One of the messages stated that one
should go straight to the specific video manufacturer to obtain the
updates. How do I determine where to begin? Please, if someone can,
provide step by step instructions. I mean, how do I determine my
video drivers and update them.
Thanks,
Brett
