Another question, do we have any free sw that will scan our present drivers and get the updates of the present drivers from internet?

instrad of updating manually let windows search the net. that will make your work easier. most products[ie supported by windows] dont even require drivers.

alternatively you can install vista beta [get ur hands on it first obiously] it has much better driver support.
