    It's your decision, but generally upgrade most of that stuff whenever possible, but it could be safer to wait and see if anyone has any issues. ASUS update is an unreliable program, you can remove it and check for updates manually on ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-

    I get so dang confused on the driver page once I get to the page for my particular laptop model and OS. Is there a way to know what I need to get once I am on that page? I dont know if I need to go delete stuff first or just start downloading until I cant download anymore. I just haven't a clue as to what I need to get on that page to make sure my pc is up to date. I wish it would just show me what I need to update the way microsoft does through the auto updates that happen. I tried this Asua live update and it just sat there stuck for over an hour once I checked off all of the items that I showed in the screen shot above. I probably annoy you pro's in here, but man this gets my brain spinning! Thanks for your patience with all of us non pc brilliant ones!

    Ok? At the Asus site...
    V8.770.0.0 ATI Graphics Driver 2010/11/26

    And I have:
    V8.791.0.0 ATI Graphics Driver 2010/10/26

    I have the updated driver but the dates are screwed up?

    I just got this popping up too. I tried it out and had it update one driver, but after twenty minutes or so of "downloading" I finally canceled it. The tool has a horrid UI, and I doubt whether or not it actually is functional.

    I'm guessing it's not since I let it run for about an hour on mine and pretty much got no where with it.
