About the Supported
Applications and Drivers Dialog Box

You can view a list of the products (applications and drivers) on your computer that Oil Change recognizes and the updates that are available for these products in the Supported Applications and Drivers dialog box. When you place your cursor on an update in the list, a status message appears in a pop-up window.

You can choose to download an update immediately or set a time for Oil Change to download it. If the update is located on a busy Web site, Oil Change may not be able to connect the first time.
