| 1205028 | 2011-05-27 01:27:00 | How important is it to update drivers? Is it important to have the latest drivers? If the computer is running well should I download and install the latest drivers or is it a case of if it isn't broken don't fix it? A programme I'm trying says I need 13 updates... :help: |

Not that you'd notice though so unless there is a problem with the driver, leave them alone. dugimodo - the same thing can apply to Windows updates too - not a terribly uncommon occurence for one to break something else. |

| 1205033 | 2011-05-27 04:27:00 | Agreed pctek, however I specifically said security updates, not getting those can leave you vunerable to malicious software and the like. Myself I don't follow my own advice, I update everything on a fairly regular basis :) And while it does occasionally cause issues sometimes you find a minor problem you were putting up with has magically gone away at some point. |
