DRIVER UPDATES
Your system has a convenient tool called the Fujitsu
Driver Update (FDU) utility. With FDU, you can choose
to automatically or manually go to the Fujitsu site to
check for new updates for your system.
The FDU icon should appear in the system tray at
the bottom right of your screen (roll the cursor over the
icons to find the correct one). If the FDU icon does not
appear in the system tray, it can be started by going to
[Start] -> All Programs, and clicking on Fujitsu Driver
Update; this will create the icon automatically.
To invoke the FDU menu, right-click on the FDU icon.
The menu contains the following items:
■
Check for updates now
Allows for manual driver update search. The first time
it is used, you are prompted to agree to a user agree-
ment. After clicking on the icon, the FDU automati-
cally connects with the Fujitsu site to check for updates
and downloads them. While downloading, the icon
has a red bar through it, indicating that it cannot be
used while the download is in process. When the
update is complete, a message appears informing you
of the fact.
■
Enable Automatic Update Notifications
Automatically searches for new updates on a regular
basis (approximately every 3 days).
■
Show update history
Brings up a screen that displays a history of updates
that have been made via the FDU.
■
