Free Driver Sites
I'm always getting asked where the best place to find device drivers is. Unfortunately one of the best sites, www.drivershq.com, charges a $29.95 subscription fee but there are some pretty good free alternatives:

http://www.driverguide.com
http://www.driversearch.com

Fonts Galore
I never thought I'd live to see it - a free font site without ads. What's more, the site's multi-dimensional font classification system makes it easy to find and select which of the 3700+ fonts you want. Thanks to subscriber Richard Steinitz for letting me know about this one.

Font of Wisdom
There are many free Windows font sites but many are so loaded with advertising that they are virtually unusable. This one keeps the ads discreet and has a fabulous range of free type styles. I've bookmarked this site and I suggest you do as well.

Free GIFs and other Art
Here's a good collection of GIF based art including some quite excellent animated GIFs, all free provide you link back to their site. This is not the largest site of its kind but at least it's totally free from ads.

I used DriverMax and it worked very well with useful features. It was quite complicated to use.
My preference at present is the Device Doctor because it has been the most accurate that I have used, so far anyway. It only identifies the newer drivers and presents them for download but does not perform the updates. That is all I need.
DriverMax link very useful, it is better to study it well but i think I figure it out somehow, I used NLITE to integrate with RadarSync, but it doesn't works, i read it in a research paper on the web, but it steel fail...(((
Device Doctor freeware is good too for driver updates
Excellent script links!! Thanks for the post.
Some that I find useful:
Digital Images - very cool site for art enthusiasts that includes professional class digital images, digital art work etc.. of all sorts, most of which can be downloaded freely for personal use with authors' permission: www.caedes.net
Scripts - my favorite site for free scripts written in just about any language commonly used today: www.hotscripts.com
Hope all find useful!

I want to download not just find drivers for free. In the old days this was standard. Now, all your options above will find for free but ask for cash to download. Please tell me if I am wrong. ianbartlett17@gmail.com
this is the norm nowadays, however if you post as you have done somebody online may pass the right one to go to like myself.
check out: Driver Max you'll need to use your Gmail acct. don't use hotmail or msn.
I use Driver Max for ALL my computers' driver updates.
Have fun.

Thank you very much for the DriverMax link.
I , too , was very frustrated by the other "free" sites you end up being asked to pay to actually download ; even though they are useful to compare scans - which are definitely not all the same or equal. Once you are sure of yourself ( you can guess , I'm not a techie ) then DriverMax seems , to me , to be the only way to go.
Thanks again.
Anthony!:-o))
