Solve : I need help with my drivers and updating?

1.	Solve : I need help with my drivers and updating?
Answer» Hi, I have a VERY old Sony VAIO desktop computer that I have souped up a bit over the years by adding RAM and some video cards. It is running a program I use for trading stocks very poorly that it used to run just fine with no particular changes to the software. I have never updated the drivers to my computers or monitors and I want to check if I have all of my drivers updated as they should be. What is the best way of going about this? I ran aautodetect driver update scanner and it found several outdated drivers. The software is not at all user friendly. I don't have any of my original software unfortunately. I SEARCHED through the FORUMS and all I found was answers like go to the OEM. Well, that was so confusing as I don't even know where to start! I want to check the drivers to the following items on my computer: My monitors My graphic cards My ethernet and other internet related items as my connection is LAGGING during high traffic times. Please help Thanks so much in advance Quote found several outdated drivers. The software is not at all user friendly. I don't have any of my original software unfortunately. Is there a particular problem concerning your computer that you need updating any device drivers? Please post laptop model to verify if there is still a support for a particular model. Check your device manager and try clicking update drivers(hardware update wizard) on your posted devices then while searching, wait for any messages if any update is found/match for the current device driver version while internet connected. yes, like I mentioned ..it is running very poorly Quote from: delmarbd on November 22, 2010, 11:44:44 AM yes, like I mentioned ..it is running very poorly The likelihood of that being related to drivers is almost nil. Do not update drivers unless there is a specific need to. Are there any problems with anything other than that one app? And what is the specific issue with that app (yeah I know, it runs poorly - but I don't know what that means).It also may be attributed to the fact you are asking an older machine to do what it may not have been designed for...Hi, Sorry, no idea but i should SAY to take assistance of some good technician.
