I support a variety of Computer Systems, mostly Gateway and Dell. I am aware you can download drivers from each of the sites, but there are so many diffrent models I support, it is just too time consuming to download the drivers each time for diffrent models. Is there a database of drivers I can download that is up to date and has many diffrent types of drivers?. I would use software bundles, but on about 65% of the stations, the bundle of software was lost. Please help.

I know just what you mean. I used to go to the web for each model number that needed drivers. Now I download a set for each operating system and keep them on a network share. NIC drivers are pretty much generic across similar PCs as are most video drivers. Sound drivers can be the most variant. A good set of NIC/Video drivers for each OS will get you by most of the time.

Go to www.drivers.com and use
LOGIN: drivers
PASSWORD; ALL

You can search for model numbers, key words and the search is actually pretty good.

good luck!

When you find it, make sure to post it. That would be a dream come true.

I personally have cds which I have burned with collections of drivers dating back to 1994. But I have never seen anything comercial or shareware of this nature.

My personal collection keeps growing because as Murphy's Law would have it, I keep finding machines with different equipment. My collection spans some 40 CDs!!!

My suggestion is do the same. Take an afternoon and download all that you can from the two sites and burn you own CD. It's a pain in the ass but from what I have seen it's the only alternative to what you're doing now. (Bummer)

Good Luck,
