As you can see from this partial listing, I have some pretty old drivers. I don't know which ones I should bother with and what others I should update. There are at least 150 of these or more. Any suggestions as to what may need updating and what to look for in the rest of the list?

I also went into the Device Manager and without fail all those listed were deemed, "Windows has determined that the device software for your device is up to date." Five years old wouldn't be up to date I wouldn't think.

As a general rule, drivers should be left alone unless you're having some particular problem, which requires updating/reinstalling some driver.

There's no known problem I just saw how old some were and figured at least the bios may need updating since this machine is three years old. Well, if it ain't broke....
