    Ok, i haven't updated this computer in about 2 years. By update, i don't mean i wanna go and buy the latest parts. What i want to do is download the updates for the parts of my computer. However i dunno what site to go to.
    Driver Agent has determined that your computer is missing significant driver updates. I did a scan on some site, driveragent.com i think it was and it told me to update these parts:

    NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT
    VIA Bus Master IDE Controller
    Plug and Play Monitor
    Marvell Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
    Ethernet Controller
    System Interrupt Controller
    VIA SATA RAID Controller
    Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller
    Officejet 5600 series (DOT4USB)
    USB Composite Device

    Thx for anyone who can help me.

    I couldn't agree more. If everything is working fine, do not under any circumstances update your drivers. So many times newer drivers can cause untold issues.
