It has come to my attention that a lot of my drivers could be out of date for this laptop and a specific one is my graphics driver.  Most of my drivers were last updated in 2010 (theyear i got it) and it doesnt appear to automatically update if there are any.  The label on my graphics card is just a simple "Intel HD Graphics."  It does not specify which one it is for me to go on the website and try to update the driver manually.  This possible out of date driver could be the reason that I am having some strange graphical issues on some games I play and I was wondering if anyone knows if 
1) There are even updates to it
2) Which one is it so i can download the right update?

    Tehnab, there are several free programs on the web that will scan your laptop for free and tell you if you have outdated drivers.Different programs will update them for you or give you a link to the manufacturer.  Because laptops are much more finicky than desktops, SET A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE YOU UPGRADE YOUR DRIVERS.
