Driver Max!!! Free!!!

[zebadee]

Hi :)
This is a free utility that I've been trying for a little while now.
See: -
DriverMax - Useful program which checks for driver updates for your Windows Vista and Windows XP computer (http://www.drivermax.com/index.htm)

Just a few screenshots to wet your appetite. :tounge:

I tried it out. Every time I run "Check for Driver Updates" it tells me that I need a connection to the internet. My internet connection is always on. Go figure :frown:

Hi :)
Not 100% sure.
But I think it is tied in with MS.
So have to have IE running already. :thinking:
Even then it takes a while before anything appears on screen.
I take this too mean that it is actually checking. :wink:

I use a program called driver magician which isn't free and is a nice tool.

Hi :)
I tried this in the past.
I'd rate Driver Max as being better although its database is linked to MS signed drivers.

[HemiDog]

I finally got it to connect & it told me that all my drivers are up to date.
To check (because I tend not to put alot of confidence in freeware) I ran another driver detection program (not free) & it says that I have 8 out of date drivers. :thinking:
I'm so confused :confused:

[Vinman]

I use a program called vinny he goes out and checks for driver updates about once a month and gets the driver updates I need.:giggle::giggle::giggle::rolleyes

Hi :)
As in my previous post.
Note the reference to MS signed drivers.
I believe that the tie in with MS will most likely mean that the 'latest drivers' are not necessarily the very latest ones.
But unlike other programs I have run this one has covered all my drivers.

Nice program does as offered. Note it says evaluation but you get the key for free.

Didnt I give everyone a copy of Driver Dectective while I had keys . stores all your driver you burn them to CD then when you do a rebuild you have them all,

[Charlie]

Yes but for our regular users this is a good thing to have I thought it deserved a bump.

[ReadMeToo]

good call

32 bit users this will tell you when there is driver updates on all your hardware and it too is free.

[ReadMeToo]

Still using Driver Detective not free -setup starts at 10 systems for 29.95 never failed me and I install it on every system I rebuild for my clients

[MATTSON1121]

Drivermax is ok Just dont like the advertising crap

[geeper]

Guess I am doing something wrong, did'nt see key for free.

[MATTSON1121]

try this http://www.drivermax.com/index.htm

[MATTSON1121]

look for the download button on the top tool bar it is free but pops up with advertizing just unistall when your done.

[geeper]

Did'nt see any pop-ups. I just need to see if this program is for me or not.
Thanks

[MATTSON1121]

just wait there geeper you will see them when you least expect them if your machine is connected to the internet

[zebadee]

Hi :)
I can't remember getting any pop-ups when I used this program.
That was a while ago now.
As it won't function on Vista 64 bit. :giggle:
