Vista - Automatic Driver Updating Program

Less than a year ago I had a free program from HP that would automatically scan my computer and tell me which drivers were out of date and automatically update them. I can no longer find the link to that program on the HP site, and their customer support won't answer me about it for whatever reason. I am aware that there are paid programs that can do this, but I would like to avoid that cost if at all possible. Does anyone have or know where to get the HP Driver Updater? Thank you.

i subscribe to the hp newsletter, and each issue comes with a link to that automatic updater. i cannot vouch for it working or not since i have never used it, but you might try signing up for the newsletter to try it yourself.

I subscribed to the newsletter to check for myself, and the only links to drivers I see are the ones that take you to the main driver download page. Several people on this board suggested my problem was due to drivers, but I don't know which ones are out of date or which one is the problem, so I thought an automatic updater could help me.

you can install a trial version of driver-genius or driver detective, and they will list all of your outdated drivers. they just wont let you download them. with that list of outdated drivers you can hunt them down yourself, from the various manufacturers websites. or for instance, if you have an hp, you should be able to look up your model and find all downloads (not just drivers) pertaining to it.
