Driver Update Question
Is there such a software you can get that lets you know what drivers you need to have updated on a Win Vista OS 32 bit?? I'd like to know, I don't trust sites such as Driver Detective. Any ideas would be very helpful. Thank you.

I especially don't trust Windows updates for drivers, as it has caused crashes in many cases.
If you have hardware that's misbehaving, check the manufacturer's site, otherwise, don't worry about it.

I agree with Hughv if something works why fix it? (But another way to find out was asked for), for example i had a cam, used the same driver it worked well for four years then it stopped and started to play up it had asked me in the past to update and i always said no, could have turned updates off but had not, then i updated and worked fine again. the equipment, like Hughv said will soon tell you if you need to update.
