DriverMax helps you backup all the drivers installed on your Windows computer. When needed you will be able to reinstall all your drivers or just the ones you choose in a single step that takes less than a minute; a very handy tool especially after reinstalling Windows or when the hardware driver CDs which came with your computer are no longer available.
DriverMax also helps you check if you have the latest versions of drivers and displays detailed information about all drivers. No more searching for rare drivers on disks or having to track them down on the Internet or inserting one installation CD after the other.
Simply export all your current drivers (or just the ones that you want) to a folder or a compressed file. After reinstalling Windows you will have everything in one place.
Version 3 is a completely new release which features Windows Vista rating tools, hardware identification tools and the background of a powerful hardware information database.
Behind a smooth interface, this program backs up all your PC's drivers in case you mess up somethin. From registration to implementation, DriverMax works fast, runs smooth, and does more than simply backing up.
When you run the application, it asks you if you'd like to run the trial version or apply for a registration key. The key is free, requiring only an e-mail address and your name.
Once you've entered the key, the program interface appears, with simple button navigation: Driver Operations, Updates and Identification, and Popular Hardware. Mousing over one reveals more options, so you can export your drivers, import drivers, or view an installed drivers report.
Updates lets you update both the DriverMax software and the drivers themselves, although as of this writing there is a warning label on the DriverMax Web site that downloads are not currently functioning. The program can also identify unknown hardware and point you in the direction of popular hardware options, pointing users to a compilation of statistics about different video cards and processors.
The strongest features relate to driver backup and reinstalls. They function smoothly, offering users the option to back up all drivers or compile a customized list. Reinstalling an "accidentally" deleted driver was as pain-free as could be. This is a great utility tool that should appeal to newbies as well as seasoned pc users.
The user interface is entirely wizard based; any chosen task is conveniently broken down into 2 or 3 simple screens.
You can export all drivers, drivers that belong to a certain category, or any specific selected drivers. Export to a folder or to compressed zipped folder. Then burn it to cd / dvd or store on an external device.
Exporting is very fast compared to another program I’ve tried recently. Importing and installing drivers can take as little as 5 mins and requires only a single reboot.
It generates a comprehensive report on installed drivers that you can use to compare existing driver versions with the latest drivers that may be out there which you can view in your browser or as a text file.
At present it does not offer Driver Updates, but it does show you which Drivers can be updated and a simple online search for a particular driver will enable you to download the latest version.
This program is registerware. You have to supply a valid email address within 30 days to get the free registration code. I advise you to use a disposable email address.
