Updating programs and drivers
HP recommends that you update your programs and drivers on a regular basis to the latest versions.
Updates can resolve issues and bring new features and options to your computer. Technology is
always changing, and updating programs and drivers allows your computer to run the latest
technology available. For example, older graphics components might not work well with the most
recent gaming software. Without the latest driver, you would not be getting the most out of your
equipment.
Download the latest versions of HP programs and drivers and also register to receive automatic
update notifications when new versions become available. For U.S. support, go to

go/contactHP. For worldwide support, go to http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwcontact_us.html.
Using SoftPaq Download Manager
HP SoftPaq Download Manager (SDM) is a tool that provides quick access to SoftPaq information for
HP business computers without requiring the SoftPaq number. Using this tool, you can easily search
for SoftPaqs, and then download and unpack them.
SoftPaq Download Manager works by reading and downloading, from the HP FTP site, a published
database file containing computer model and SoftPaq information. SoftPaq Download Manager
allows you to specify one or more computer models to determine which SoftPaqs are available for
download.
SoftPaq Download Manager checks the HP FTP site for updates to the database and software. If
updates are found, they are downloaded and applied automatically.
