now what I want to know is, is there a good program out there that will scan my computer for drivers and if I don’t have a driver or a driver is not updated it will find the best or most appropriate for the hardware and update the driver or install a better version of driver? I ask because I seem to not be able to get sound playing from my speakers, and i suspect it is either no drivers are installed or outdated drivers are on my computer because I just installed Windows XP a few days ago.
Now don’t forget that I said a free program, and to me free means 100% free, like freeware programs. I do not want shareware because most of the trials/demos only scan your computer to tell you that you have a problem(and why would you need a program like this if you don’t suspect there is a problem?), but then to fix it you must then purchase the program so only suggest freeware/free programs.

I want to reformat my system..all data in the hard drive cleared, in short…clean install. However, my CD-ROM drive is corrupted and I can’t install Windows using a bootable CD. Fortunately, I copied the entire CD to my hard disk as back up, and now I want to reinstall Windows XP, can I copy the setup files to drive D(secondary HDD partition), run setup.exe and then choose clean install? Are the data in drive D won;t be cleared also if I choose clean install? Remember, I will install Windows XP in drive C.

I don’t really know much about these kinds of stuff, but what programs do i really need?

I have clean my pc registry and I have no problems with it . My brother has cc cleaner and he thinks it is the best. I would like t know which is better so I can get the best job done.

IT seems to be running a bit slower lately. I do not add things or download things to it but my BF always goes on youtube so I am wondering there have been some small viruses from that.
