Windows 7 Window 7 Wont Shut down

Slightly off topic TG, but how do you know Drivers are out of date (and you do)? Do you have links to all sites? I mean if you ask Windows/M$ Update it always (nearly) tells you that you have the latest drivers. (inbuilt M$'s of course).

I'm just curious, that's all.

Toshiba drivers as of 2007 cannot be compatible with Windows 7 anyway, so this is one reason they need be updated. The second reason is all dumps point to the same problem caused by TOSHIBA HDD Protection Driver, which is of June 2009. Drivers of summer 2009 are not the best versions for Windows 7 either.

I have a mental index of almost all drivers on all machines. I simply just know what the deal is and which ones are known to fail and which are just good to update etc...

Windows Update and drivers don't mix the same like drinking and driving lol. Never do that, heh heh. Especially for video drivers.
