A couple of questions

[Emperor Smeat]

1) What would be a good free software program to search for driver updates on a laptop/computer?

I'm looking for something that can scan a whole computer and either get links to update drivers or tell which drivers need to be updated.


2) Name of the box that lets someone hook up a bunch of different video game consoles to a single tv ?

I know a modulator can be used to hook up a single console if the tv doesn't have the A/V connectors on it but don't remember the name of the box that would let me hook up a good 4-5 consoles to a single tv. If it helps, I want to hook up a Xbox 360, Wii, N64, and PS2 to the tv in the living room.

1. You're better off searching the model number on the manufacturers website, finding out what devices it has, and then going to whoever makes the device/chip and getting the latest driver there.

2. Dunno, I think Joytech did one a few years back, try them.

For the second one, try a VCR, should have a bunch of inputs

Really depends on what inputs you're using. They make them for component too.

That is the type I am looking for since I just use a regular SD TV that has the built in dvd and VCR player but it only has 1 set of A/V connectors.

Are you using the unnecessarily wide Magnavox DVD-VHS-TV combination

[Emperor Smeat]

Nope, I got the 20'' Emerson television.

Used to have a Phiilips Magnavox 13'' tv I had during my college days but it wasn't a combo tv and ended up replacing it with the Emerson tv from another room since it had the A/V connector for the Xbox 360. I have a 3-in-1 cable connector but it doesn't go further than PS2/Gamecube/Xbox for consoles.
