Driver Question

[steelth]

I was working on my cousins computer it's very old. i went into device manager to see if everything was ok and his VGA drivers need updateing i guess , so i went to a site that scans ur drivers it said 14 drivers needed updated , but they want 29 dollars to do it. Does anyone know where i can get it scanned and updated free. Free is better for my wallet thx

Stay away from those sites.

How do you know those VGA drivers need updating? I personally wouldn't do anything, not worth it.
No don't pay money.

That means Windows detects hardware but can't find a driver for it.

Check on problem devices

• Make sure all your devices are connected and powered on
• Click Start->Run, enter: msinfo32. Click the + sign next to Components to expand it
• Click Problem Devices. Anything appear?
• If yes, click on it, Ctrl-A to select all, Ctrl-C to copy it, Ctrl-V to paste into next post

Generate then attach a DirectX report

• click Start->Run, enter dxdiag
• Notice progress in lower left window corner
• When done, click Save Information button and save to your Desktop
• In TechSpot, use the paper clip icon to attach the reports. (If you don't see icon you may need to first cick Go Advanced)
