Quote - If I double click on the icon for ATI at the lower left of my screen, it opens a Catalyst Control Center. There is a button that says Check for latest drivers. If I click on it, will it go out and find the right drivers without me going to the ATI website and trying to figure out which is the right one for me?

Beats me. I don't know how often they update that link.. and I know it won't include any monthly hot fixes.

How hard it is though, to write down your video card type? (Mine's an x1950 pro.. it's right on the box!)

Google ati driver.. it's always the first link.

You only pick:

Your operating system: (you should KNOW that!)

Card type: (Again right on th box.. and odds are it's a radeon)

And actual card: (Again right on the box.)

And you need to update monthly anyway, so after doing it for 3 or 4 months you should know all that by heart.

Every single person I know who updates his drivers regularly uses the website. it's NOT rocket science.

I also save the drivers locally, so if a new driver does have issues with something I need to run, I can "roll back" to the last good driver version. I usually keep the last 3 drivers on my system.

You are making this MUCH harder then it needs to be. You should be able to locate the driver for your hard in about 30 seconds tops.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
