Driver Detective
Use Driver Detective to ensure that your drivers are always up to date

Drivers are essential to the smooth running of any computer and if you should have an old or incorrect driver installed for a particular piece of hardware, you may well run into problems. While Windows Update can be used to update Windows and other software, as well as some drivers, tracking down the latest drives for all of your hardware can be a major chore.

Driver Detective can take the hard work out of keeping your drivers up to date. The program can uniquely identify the make of computer you are using and the hardware you have installed and automatically update the necessary drivers for you.

To avoid problems that may arise from poorly written drivers, a backup is created before any new driver is installed so it is possible to roll back to an older version if needs be. You also have the option of backing up all of the drivers you have installed so should you ever need to reinstall Windows you will have them all to hand.

The process of upgrading Windows or moving to a new computer is simplified thanks to the presence of the Easy Migrator. This tool will scan your computer and download the drivers for you hardware and enable you to create a driver migration CD.

 

Verdict:

Forget manually searching for the latest drivers, Driver Detective can take care of it all for you so you can be sure that you are always up to date.

Spotlight: Free Full Software

Giveaway: WinISO Standard 6.1.0

Free Full Commercial Software

WinISO is a very comprehensive tool which provides everything you need to create, edit and convert disc images.

If you've an image file already, for instance (ISO, CUE/ BIN, NRG, MDF, CCD, IMG and DVD formats are supported) then you can open it in a click or two, browse the image contents, and extract the files you need with a quick drag and drop.

It's just as easy to create new ISO9660, UDF, even HFS+ images. Just choose the option you need, then either manually build up your preferred file and folder structure; drag and drop your files and folders from Explorer onto the program; or create an image directly from a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc.

Of course you can edit images, too. Is an ISO file too large for your needs, say? Open it up, locate and remove any surplus files to free up a little space.

WinISO program has full support for reading and creating bootable image files. A simple conversion tool makes it easy to convert disc images into the format you need. And the program can even mount ISO files as Explorer files, or burn images to disc when you're ready to save them.

Please note, this trial version of WinISO Standard will not save files greater than 500MB in size.

Giveaway: on Wednesday, we're giving you the full current version of WinISO Standard 6 worth $29.95. The download link here will take you to Downloadcrew Giveaway.
