There are a number reasons for this but one of them is malware. If I did what you did above, I would just revert, then go back to installing one driver at a time.īacking up OS and Apps and then having to restore them can be tricky at best especially when it is automatic. It is amazing software and nothing else like it. It a very new and inexpensive backup and snapshot utility that will revert your whole system (or single files) if something goes wrong. A couple for AMD graphics drivers and one for Realtek audio driver. On my older AMD systems IDB found several drivers to update. Ironically it was an update to the Ethernet driver which I have no need for because both of those computers I am running W8 on are wireless as well as my network printer.

With W8 if you stay with mainstream hardware W8 will provide the drivers and a W8 system including a printer can be installed and run wihout the user having to hunt for and manually install any drivers.ĭriver Booster found one out of date driver on my two Intel W8 systems. With W7 the number of drivers you had to search for diminished as long as you stayed with mainsteam hardware. With XP you had, I can't imagine anyone is sitll using it:lol: to find you own drivers for almost everything. W7 was sort of a half house between XP and W8. I have four desktops but only two OS, W7 and W8. I have been a beta tester for Mozilla since 1990 and numerous other applications for the past 30+ years. Should your DriverBooster work as advertised, then I am willing to buy it, but only after thorough testing.

Aside from the ubiquitous Driver Update PAY software that really does not work too well, finding drivers is a mission, sometimes of futility. Trying to find the right driver for each is a real mission. Running 3 desktops with different versions of Windows is tiresome at best when drivers that work with hardware configuration are required.
