In finally upgraded some HD's in my rig and decided to format and do a clean install with W7 only (vs. my previous dual-boot).

W7 Home Pro installed fine and seems to have installed most drivers automatically, with a few drivers coming via Windows update.

When I now use my Driver CD's (soundcard, vidcard etc) I mostly get errors and failed installs.
How should I go about getting the "best" drivers installed and running, to assure I get the best functionality from the hardware (vs the M$ generic drivers) ?
