Free version of Driver Detective? or similar utility?

[davegmail]

When using Vista, drivers are often needed and can be a problem to find. Is there a low cost or free similar utility?

There doesn't seem much software around apart from DriverMax, most of the other offers you a free scan (which can provide some useful information), but always seem to ask for cash prior to locating any drivers.

The manufacturers are the best source of information, for example.....
