Hi,

Just wanted to ask if anyone can recommend any good freeware/shareware programs that will scan my system, accurately tell me what drivers are out of date, and will either download the relevant new drivers or provide links to the new drivers.

Some of these programs will also backup my drivers as a zip file in case I need to rollback a driver to an earlier version. A lot of these programs are trial programs and want purchasing before becoming fully functional, at a cost of $30 or more.

I just tried one of these - UNIBLUE DriverScanner (same company behind RegistryBooster 2, SpeedUpMyPC). Anyone tried it and can recommends it?

Also, from reading this forum, i am also now looking at the freeware DriverMax program.

A capable program that can do this task accurately, WOULD take the time and effort out of TRAWLING the web, looking for updated drivers for my system.If it's not broken, don't fix it!
Normally, LEAVE drivers alone, unless there is something wrong with them.

As for drivers backup, and restore, get DriverMax: http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/
