Shareware Program

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Im not sure about a generic program, but when I bought a MSI mother
board, it came with a program called Live Update that checked for new
drivers plus BIOS updates.
It worked really good.

Did it just check for the MSI Motherboard?
Or when you go out and buy the new GeForce 6800 card and the SoundBlaster
Audigy2 Sound card and the 1000Mbit Intel NIC and the Hauppage Video Capture
card - did it check for those drivers as well?

Duh ...

Do you have a program to suggest? I think we all would be interested in
something that can do what Bill is asking for.

What Shenan Stanley is implying is that Dan's suggestion falls far short of
the mark!

They seem to jump on his case a lot but, truth be told, some of Shenan's
posts make me think with a whole different logic set.
