I was looking for a good software that would update drivers, fix registry errors. Like the software below but free:

<Mod Edited>

Thanks for the help. Preferably free or <£10/$10 one time buy.

I wish I knew how to go and get all individual drivers. But it would be so much easier if it was just one package software.
 
Exactly, USAFRet! Why would you want a driver updated program? They are all junk. Ironically, I typically find them on systems with the most registry and driver issues. Save your money and your time.

Though CC cleaner, mentioned by anti-duck, can be a nice utility, if used properly.

Speaking of anti-duck, why are you anti-duck? What did they ever do to you? They just hang around ponds, eat bread thrown at then, and sometime nip at your ankles when your loaf runs out.

To be totally honest I never knew CCleaner did registry. Just ran a scan... Damn that is one long list....

I've been doing this for a very long time. I have not seen any 'driver updater' that is worth the time. Ever.
Either they want money, or they update to something you do not need.

CCleaner is excellent. Self proclaimed "Registry Cleaners? No so much.

I recently fixed a friends brand new Toshiba laptop. It had some Registry Cleaner thing preinstalled. Bloatware from Toshiba.
Out of the box....the thing was turned for one hour!
"We have detected 56 Registry errors!" (Buy this to fix these errors)

Brand new, out of the box.

Ok, so CCleaner is a biggie. What about my proccesor drivers because thats the main thing that started me on this, I was sitting here thinking that I have NEVER updated my proccessor in these 2 years. Do Intel do a 'Live Updater' sorta thing?

There is little reason to update the motherboard, or GPU, or any other driver, unless you see a real need for it.

Either you, the smart human can choose when to do it. Or, you can allow the developers at some random Driver Update site (which is ad paid), to do it on their schedule.

Ok, so updating my 2 - 3 year old processor drivers wont improve my gamplay/overall computer speed? Just double checking. If it does could you link me to the site where I can get these. Thanks
