Updating drivers

[simsfreq]

I may need to update the drivers for my video card. (To run a game better) I've been on the S3 website and found the appropriate one but it said to download it to the place I store all my drivers ... er, what? How do I find this folder? And how do I know if I even need the latest driver?
I am computer literate, just a bit lost on this particular issue as I have not done it before.

It probably just means save it to a folder where you'd know how to find it again. There isn't a specific folder that you have to save it to - all that is sorted when you run the installation file.

I never save the drivers I download as when I come to reinstall them, there's always an updated version! As for knowing if you need the latest driver, you always need the latest driver! For any piece of hardware always download the latest driver (the latest stable driver, not betas) as it'll have all the latest updates and bug fixes!

Hope this helps!

Just save it to the Desktop so it's easy to find, and I would scan it before opening it.

Ah ok, that's great, thanks :-)
