1) What do you mean they are out of date? If you aren't having any problems leave them alone
2) 17 drivers ?
3) You do not update drivers via device manager. You go to the website of the hw mfg and download them from there.

I downloaded all my drivers from my computer mfg page and it seems drivers are out of date.
Yeah 17 drivers i downloaded like 4 driver scanners and all showed that drivers are out of date:S
I mean theyre old and i need better ones

Do not use third party apps to tell you if you need new drivers. If everything is working DO NOT update any drivers. The only reason to update a driver is if there is a new feature that you either must have or that fixes something that was causing you a problem.

There is no such thing as an out of date driver.
