Software drivers let your applications talk to
important peripherals. It's a good idea to check with your computer's
manufacturer at least four times a year for the latest updates. The
easiest way to do this is to access the manufacturer's Web site; most
companies normally make updated drivers available for download. If you
don't have Web access, call the vendor's tech-support number.
You
should keep your Windows based computer up-to-date via the Windows Update
Service on the web.
In
addition, there are online sites that help with PC maintenance such as PC Pitstop.
For
other misc programs, there is a great freeware program called FileHippo
Update Checker that will check for updates for Adobe Reader,
Java, Quicktime, Flash, Real Player, and many other programs.
