How Do You Know If You Have The Latest Drivers ?
Dec 28, 2009
I installed windows 7 x64 and I don't know whether I have the latest drivers. For some it is obvious eg gfx drivers but for the chipsets ( I have intel P35 desktop) it is more difficult.
I installed the "Intel® Chipset Identification Utility" for my chipset but a lot of my intel drivers from I look at the device manager have driver dates from 2006 e.g.
Intel P35 Express Chipset Processor, all the Intel ICH9 drivers...
Would this be considered up-to-date? I'm thinking these are just simple drivers etc and they wouldnt be updated too often.
I also see in Device Manager quite a few generic names like "Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller" is this meant to be the case or should i get more specialised drivers?

I have just finished installing my copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, So I thought I would start updating my Drivers.
I have the EVGA nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX Graphics Card.
I went onto nVidia's website, and downloaded the driver for the 8 Series, but when I try installing the drivers, I get an error pop-up saying that the driver is suited for Windows Vista and Windows 7 only !
It is strange because I am on Windows 7, yet it won't install.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The original installation went just fine, but I never did test to see if transfer speeds were any faster. The instructions specifically mention to install the software first, then the hardware. Recently, I did a clean reinstall of Windows 7 Ultimate (x64). I never did remove the card. I tried running the software with the hardware already installed. Well, the drives are recognized and all, but the transfer rate between the two drives (one is Seagate 3.0 and one is WD 3.0) is only around 50 MB/sec...USB 2.0 speed, right? So, from what I've been able to find over the past couple of hours is that I can't contact WD about the card. They know nothing, and the product can't be found on their website. In device manager, it's listed as NEC Electronics, and it seems there's been some combination of forces between NEC Electronics and Renesas.
1. I have found updated drivers and firmware for NEC/Renesas USB 3.0 cards, but they are broken down into different models or families. For instance, most of them use a number along the lines of uPD720200/uPD720200A Version 2.1.27 WHQL uPD720201/uPD720202 Version 3.0.8.0 WHQL So, how do I find out what my uPD number is, so that I grab the right files?
2. Do I need to uninstall current drivers/software, remove the card from my PC, install the correct drivers, and then install the card back into my machine (See bit about installation instructions near beginning of post.) OR can I just find the updates and install them without removing the card? If so, do I uninstall the old drivers, or just install the new drivers and firmware over the top of the existing files?

sing my very old monitor I could choose between many resolutions and found one I liked (Can't remember what it was, but it was kinda high). Then a couple of months ago I bought a new monitor. With this monitor (It says its default resolution is 1650*1050) I can only have 1024*768. I really want a better resolution as that one is so annoying. I've downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers for my graphics card and I've gone to the samsung website and downloaded the latest driver for my monitor, the Samsung Syncmaster rz2233.

I finally got a wireless card in today but my windows 7 is not recognizing it, even after installing the latest drivers. I have tried both PCI slots on my MB (ASRock 970 Extreme 3) and both lights on the card are lighting up in each one. I even went into the UEFI to make sure PCI slots were enabled.

I'm using the integrated video in an i7 3770 CPU, the Intel HD4000 graphics.The original Intel driver supplied by the motherboard vendor, 8.15.10.2618 gives a Windows Experience Index score of 6.5 for both Graphics and Gaming Graphics.I did a driver scan from Intel and it showed there was a newer video driver available8.15.10.2761. I installed the latest video driver and the WEI score for both Video items dropped to 5.8/5.9I reinstalled the older driver and the WEI score was back to 6.5.

It is now running on Win 7 sp1 (afaik) with all the latest updates installed. This is why it has not just been brought back to the shop where it was purchasedMy problem is that I cannot play audio through the laptops own speakers. When in a very quiet room you can hear faint crackling from the speakers when they are turned up fully. If you plug in headphones or hdmi, the either will work perfectly no problem with sound. I have the latest Realtek audio driver for my computer installed and I have spent the last week checking and re checking all of the sound settings.The computer says that the device is ''working properly'' when I troubleshoot it.

This combination of drivers works fine in windows vista 32 bit.. boots up fine and everything. Today I finally got my SSDD for my OS and a copy of Windows 7 64 bit. I installed it fine without error. Then installed my chipset drivers that I downloaded off of Nvidia's website (64 bit, worked fine, rebooted), installed my nvidia display drivers, rebooted.. now whenever I start windows up. I get the flowery blue background windows logo. It just hangs there and never boots. However it will boot fine into safe mode and after I uninstall the display drivers... though my gaming computer is going to be pretty useless if I can't game with it!
Relevant Info
Windows 7 64bit
Asus Striker II Formula (with 15.58 64 bit drivers installed)
2x SLI EVGA Geforce 560 TI 448 Special Edition (with64 bit 310.90 Drivers Installed)
I am going to try installing the motherboard chipset drivers from Asus's website. I believe the version number is 15.43, then try reinstalling the video drivers. However I don't think this is going to make much a difference.

I am using Windows 7 and IE 9.I got a message to download an update to IE 10 and clicked the link. Now when I open IE, the screen is entirely white.There are links, but they are white letters on white background. I know there are links because when I move the cursor over one, I see the link in the highlighted window.The latest version is not in the Control Panel, so I cannot remove it. When I try to install IE 9, the message is "The is a more current version installed, cannot install IE 9".I have run virus scan and get no errors.

I was having problems with my IOGEAR GBU321 Bluetooth Adapter with a Plantronics PLT510, under Windows 7 RC 32-bit. The newest Broadcom driver solved my problems immediately. Don't use the latest IOGEAR drivers(GBU321_v5.5.0.44), they do not work.

I was running both x64 & x86 version of Windows 7 RC1 build 7100 quite well till now.
I downloaded the images from MS.
Today suddenly my x64 gave the BSOD..
At the end of BSOD some ACPI error is mentioned
I downloaded the new updates & system was installing them when BSOD occured...
The strange thing is that I tried to repair thru every possible means from safe mode to EMS & by starting from the DVD but it failed.(Every try ends at BSOD)
Now the problem is When I try to boot from the x64 DVD(from which I installed) after "Loading files" the BSOD comes when screen says Windows Starting. Even before the glowing animation!
I disconnected my all HDD drives but still no success.

the latest rtm extract did not come as an iso. Now there is a boot folder, but I can't create the correct boot disc at all.....
Everytime I burn the disc it just doesn't want to boot to it, it just bypasses it. So I can't get a clean install going.... I am running nero 9, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not that skilled at making boot discs, detailed instructions would be great.
