Answer» I want at least to backup my internet driver so i can update my computer and stuff? I'm formatting my computer because my dual monitor drivers is ''screwed up'' Im just tired of trying to fix it and might as well just reformat it.Just go to the website of your hardware manufacturers (or computer manufacturer) and download all the drivers you need and save them to usb drive or cd. Don't forget the chipset driver.http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/backup-your-drivers-with-driverbackup-2-windows/ Although installing the latest and greatest drivers is always best as Allan suggests, I have for example an old Pentium 4 2.0Ghz eMachine motherboard that use to be a Celeron 2.0Ghz socket 478 which has an integrated graphics driver for Windows XP Pro which is hard to come by. Windows wants to give it a generic 800x600 resolution driver, and the specific OLD driver that I found after hours of digging gives it the 1024x768 res that I need. In addition to ghosting this system, I also used a tool called Driver Backup 2 which was free that allowed me to backup all drivers. Since then this tool also has come in handy with an old Toshiba Laptop Portege with 500Mhz P3 with graphics driver as well. So if your looking for a utility to backup all working drivers to push all known working drivers to a system after rebuild (without hardware changes ) this tool is great! In addition on the laptops I ran GoBack from an old Norton System Works package I bought years ago so that I could test out newer drivers and system changes and if it lead to disaster or slowing down of system, I could revert the system back to the prior drivers and configurations.Whoa - I never said installing the latest drivers is a good idea.
