My go-to for driver updates is IOBit's Driver Booster 5 - it's both a
freeware and paid version. The freeware version has worked fine for me
for a number of years. It keeps my XP Media Centre box running smoothly
even if I have to replace a part that let all the magick blue smoke
escape. I can still play Railroad Tycoon - yippee!
