Drivers For Free quickly scanned our system and returned four drivers that were out of date: for our audio controller, our printer, our PCI bridge, and our universal host controller. That wasn't a huge problem, though, as we were able to use the "My Computer Is Custom Built" option instead to find our drivers. We think it's a great way to keep on top of this tedious but necessary job.ĭrivers For Free starts by automatically detecting what kind of computer you're using, but that feature didn't work so well for us the program thought we were using a Dell, but in reality we're running Windows on a Mac. Thank you.Keeping your drivers up-to-date is always a good idea, but who has time to manually check for updates for each and every driver? Drivers For Free makes short work of this task, scanning for driver updates and installing them automatically.

I would much appreciate it if AOO would be more helpful during the install process by allowing the TRUE specification of the installation point to be the USERS choice. Linux uses this system as default and it works well.

THIS IS NOT WHAT WAS SPECIFIED FOR THE INSTALL LOCATION BY THE INSTALL PROCEDURE!!Īs evidenced above, some of us like to keep our OS fairly clean.

Above one of you said only a few MB of files go to C: and this is incorrect, least for 4.1.7. ONLY THE INSTALLATION FILES WERE SENT THERE! I found the true install of 328 MB went to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Openoffice 4\". I just did an install of AOO 4.1.7 and on "Custom" installation specified "D:\Openoffice 417" as my install point. The OS drive also does not fragment nearly as badly and all this has nearly eliminated the BSD and other errors and OS slogging.

I have done this for many years, since Win 98, as it helps keep Windows (any version) from gumming up as much as it often does. D: is 450 GB in size and is for programs and files. C: is 45 GB in size and is for my Win 10 OS and tech utils. I also want to install AOO to a different drive.
