Is performance what's ruining it for anyone else?

Also true. Using the system restore option in XP is always a great fall back if you find further issues starting after doing this.

I personally only update my GPU driver on a regular basis and will not update others unless a specific problem occurs with it. Such as my creative sound driver.

PC's are relatively complex these days and if your system is stable and fast in other games and normal operations you can usually point to the game itself needing patches rather than looking at your own system.

Wel I've not had any problems so far using 'Driver Detective'. I sort of assumed they only instal official drivers anyway. Probably, far more reliable than me scrabbling around trying to find the right drivers on the net. But as you say regular system restore points are always advisable.
