Updating drivers for Inspiron 5000 with Windows 7
I have some questions about updating drivers and since there has been no response in laptop-hardware, I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. I have a new 5547. When Windows update ran yesterday, an Intel graphics package also updated. My driver for Intel Graphics Family is a higher Version than the one listed as recommended by Dell for my service tag. So I began to wonder if these drivers that Dell recommends should really be loaded on my new laptop or not. What do you think? Some of the drivers I can see by running a scan on PC Checkup under My Dell on my start menu and looking through the log afterwards. But I cannot find some of them trying to match the names that Dell recommends on this site for my service tag. For the ones I do not see or are different, I wonder if they are for my laptop. And when a driver name does match, usually the version is exactly the same as what I have, but the date is different. If the date has changed, does that mean the driver has been updated? Seems like they should change the version number.
