Also, they limit the 'free' version to downloading two drivers a day. I mean, how do I know if x.y.z.42 vs x.y.z.46 is significant, or if 9k.9k.9k.9k vs 5.1.2k.0 means it's really different or rather management made a meaningless naming change?ДЄt this point you do see some up selling, as the ' pro' version checks digital signatures before downloading instead of after downloading. Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller. While date deltas are not given, version numbers are shown, but this isn't as useful in the case of: Texas Instr.

Registration was painless, however I was only presented with the agreement after confirming the registration it includes the never share personal data with third parties clause/pseudo promise (all agreements are subject to change without notice, so if they get bought out, or go evil.).

But generally it seems to want you to register online for 'full features' which include some kind of online storage of personal system information, and searching online for newer versions. It did see my nForce Audio driver, but I don't think that device is actually used on the Asus A8N-SLI Premium.Дrivermax features a backup and restore feature (drivers only) that seems handy in the face of a reinstall of your OS, and is a nifty feature you can use without giving any personal info away.

Robot Driver spotted this, but drivermax did not. The only driver I was interested in at the time was the one I didn't have installed, my Realtek AC'97 audio driver. After that it can generate a list of devices and drivers with versions and dates in about 12 seconds, though I'm not certain how complete it is.

Drivermax actually scans for about 30 seconds at the end of the install process (for which I must have missed the legal agreement, but didn't see any toolbar shenanigans. If you find this annoying don't install either.

Please note that both of these programs are written to be installed and started with your computer at startup, running as background tasks. I also tried the afore-mentioned drivermax. It does say that it will download all drivers and install them all before rebooting, which is a nice change from the usual requirements under manually updating windows drivers (though windows automatic updates does the same basic thing). Considering that I bought Sierra's Evil Genius on Steam for $2.99 and Firaxis' Civilizations Revolution (Sid Meyer) on iPhone for $6.99 this comes off as seeming wholly not worth it. Then to actually download you must register on their site with a name and email address, they promise that they won't share your private information ever, which means they could still aggregate statistics and make money that way, but they take you to a payment page of $10 off $39.99, so it's $29.99 for downloading third party drivers. But if you do find out of date device drivers, it won't tell you the version number, dates of driver release, WHQL status, or in some cases even the device name (IE, 'RAID Controller', 'Ethernet Controller', 'HID Compatible Mouse' (ењ†!), 'Plug and Play Monitor', 'PCI to PCI bridge'). Luckily it's a fast scan (about 15 seconds). To export a list of devices and drivers you must scan, to download drivers you must scan again, even if you just scanned. Now the UI seems simple, but it's also uninformative. Then it installed on C even though I'd normally choose D if given a choice. Firstly the install process trys to foist Ask's toolbar on you, and tries to change your homepage. Just to be clear Driver Robot is not free. I think that this is a little misleading question wise.
