Softpedia Editor's Review for My Drivers (formerly WinDriver Expert)
|
Enables you to detect hardware, backup driver or drivers currently installed on your system
Written by Bogdan Popa on November 2nd, 2011
Drivers are essential for our computers, but we all know how difficult it actually is to make sure everything is all right in this side of the operating system. In fact, the whole thing comes down to keeping drivers up to date, as an old “saying” claims that it’s better to have the latest drivers, rather than use an old version.
This is where My Drivers comes into play. This software solution has been specifically developed to make sure your drivers are up to date and, in case there are some problems with the downloaded packages, to fix them in no time.
The application is capable of scanning the whole computer to detect all devices and then check the driver versions installed on the machine.
Plus, it lets you manage all system device drivers from a single screen, allowing not only the download of newer software, but also the downgrade to older versions.
The interface is the thing that makes the software a bit unprofessional, because it all looks like it’s been designed by a children. A colorful look with big fonts and no eye candy elements, they’re all main parts of the My Drivers’ look.
Still, the program works quite okay and we’ve been able during our test to update the driver for several pieces of hardware hidden underneath our computer’s case. It runs smooth without stressing the CPU or the RAM too much.
All in all, even if you choose not to use My Drivers, you may be forced one day to give it a try since it does such an important job. Too bad it may hurt your pocket a little bit…
