Firstly,what I recommend is as following.

Use Windows Update. You may need to set Windows Update to automatically download and install recommended updates.

Install the software from the equipment manufacturer. For example, if the device with the disc, the disc may contain device drivers for installed software.

To download and update drivers. Use this method can be installed from the manufacturer's Web site to download drivers. If Windows Update can not find the device driver and the device is not installed with the driver software, then do this. Windows 7 Compatibility Center website lists thousands of devices can be directly through the link to download the driver.

And I tink Driver Checker is a really great tool to update drivers.Hope that helps.

Where can you get automatic driver updates?

At times Windows will have drvers available on the Windows Updates Website. However, the best place to find driver updates is the Website of the makers of the hardware you wish to update. Example: If I were trying to find driver updates for my Lexmark printer, I'd go to the Lexmark Website: http://www.lexmarkstore.com/store/lexmark/Content/pbPage.narrowSearch-nav


How do you update drivers in Windows Vista?

Here's How: 1. Visit the hardware maker's site and download the latest available driver. A manufacturer's site is always the best source for a driver but if that doesn't work out for some reason, there are several other driver download options too. 2.Open Device Manager from the Windows Vista Computer Management utility. Now that Device Manager is open, look for the entry for the device that you want to update the drivers for. Note: Navigate through the hardware device categories by clicking the [+] icon. You'll open up the list of actual devices under the categories. Once you found the device you were looking for, right click on its name or icon and choose Properties. In the Properties window, click on the Driver tab. Click the Update Driver... button. This will start the Update Driver Software wizard. On the How do you want to search for driver software? window, click on Browse my computer for driver software. The other option is essentially a search for new drivers via Windows Update but I recommend updating your Windows Vista drivers using manufacturer-direct drivers as described below. In the Browse for driver software on your computer window that appears next, click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. It's located near the bottom. Click the Have Disk... button next. Click the Browse... button on the Install From Disk dialog box that appeared after clicking the button in Step 8. Next you'll see the Locate File dialog box. Work your way to the folder that was created as part of the driver extraction you did in Step 1. If there are several subfolders, find one that's labeled for Windows Vista, assuming there is one. Don't worry if there's not. Click any INF file that you see and then click Open. Note: INF files contain the driver setup information and they're the only files that Device Manager will let you choose. If you have problems here, see the Tips at the bottom of the page for help. Click OK on the Install From Disk dialog. Click on the hardware name in the text box and then click Next >. If you're prompted with a warning message about the possibility of a hardware/driver incompatibility just click the Yes button to continue installing the driver. Many drivers are not certified by Microsoft to work in Windows Vista but are still perfectly safe to use. Important: If you're installing a Windows Vista driver obtained from anywhere other than the maker of the hardware, click No instead and download drivers from the manufacturer directly. The Update Driver Software wizard will now use the instructions provided in the INF file you selected to install the drivers for your hardware in Windows Vista. At this point, you just need to walk through whatever other instructions you're given on screen. This part of the driver update process can be different depending on the kind of hardware you're updating the drivers for. Once the Windows Vista driver update is complete, you might be asked to restart your computer. Note: Updating drivers makes changes to the Windows Registry and other sensitive areas of Windows so even if you're not told to restart, do it anyway. This way you'll know if the driver update has effected your computer in some way it shouldn't have If for some reason there has been a problem, just roll back the driver and you should be fine.
