    Yes, but what problems or issues are you having with the latest ACER driver? If it's working properly with no problems or issues, why would you want an update? You think it is too long for what reason? Jack E/NJ

    Every software need an update, but if there is no update that software maybe will show some bug later (there is the reason why every software need update, include driver)

    Updates usually appear after not before bugs are found. Jack E/NJ

    I don't have a lot of understanding on these drivers and stuff, but I know I just bought Acer Aspire A315-41-R74D, so brand new, installed latest VGA driver from your list, and I'm getting green/pink flashing pixels on youtube, and it crashed once, had to force shut down my laptop. Everything while playing a video... Can you help?

    Why did you install the latest driver? Updated drivers should only be installed if you're having problem with the old driver. Since it's new, I suggest you reset the machine to a factory fresh state by following the video below. If the problem persists with a factory reset, then return the machine to the selller as defective for a refund or  exchange. Jack E/NJ
