Thanks Adrian - threw up a couple of out-of-dates - notably Adobe and Apple products, both set to auto update, but never do!

I am not a fan of auto updates, I like to see what is being added to my machine. Even Windows/MS are on manual install. My only exceptions are Malwarebytes and Avast!.

I've just used your hippo-updater Unc  ...and a couple of things need updating, which I am currently sorting out....  however  ..there is one, AMD Catalyst Driver, a very large download (as it is quite out of date  ) this has never shown up before, hence it's not been dealt with before !  What I need to know is do I need to oust anything before I install.  The download is done, but I don't just want to press GO  if I need to do something first.   Thank you for any help 

[AdrianH]

The update "should" tell you if the old driver needs removing first. I use nVidia and that will remove the old versions first where needed.
Make a restore point before you do anything else ( Windows should do this before you install anything large but.......... ) and see what happens when you hit the install button.

Thank you Adrian ... I'm just going out, but will follow your instructions when I get back  ... and then may shout HELP !

With graphics cards I find it best to unistall, reboot and install the newer version.

It is the only one I would do that with by choice.

Thanks Phil - will download as soon as I have finished my DIY project that was going to take 10 minutes and so far has taken 3 hours - putting right a bodge job the previous house owner did.

Now here is where I lose my bravado       I have created a restore point.   I went on to the AMD site to see how to remove pre-existing drivers in XP as follows ...
Click on Start
Open the Control Panel
Select Add or Remove Programs
From the list of Currently installed programs, select ATI - Software Uninstall Utility
If ATI-Software Uninstall Utility is not listed in Add/Remove Programs, first remove ATI Catalyst Control Center then remove the ATI Display Drivers
Click 'No' when prompted to restart the system
Empty the Windows Temp folder by going to C:\Windows\Temp\
Restart the system

I have found ATI Software Uninstall utility --clicked on remove  ....then get the pop up box below.  I chose the Recommended remove  ??  I ignore the option to close and go to C Temp (see blow) am I on the right folder there, as there seems to be a lot in it to empty !! Do I just delete it ?     OOOOOOOOOO do I really need this update

OOOOOOOOOO do I really need this update 

Well tbh my Ati Catalyst control centre has never been updated since I got the pc in April 2007 and I haver never had a problem..If it isn't broke....

[scottiesmum]

That's it  ...  I'm taking your good advice Unc  ..and leaving well alone 

but ...thanks to Adrain and BB for their help.

I see via Filehippo the download is over 110mb for XP and 107mb for Vista
