DriverMax 3
There is one thing more annoying than to re-install windows from scratch after a virus attack or hardware failure: finding drivers that came along with the hardware!
DriverMax backs up all the drivers on your system and stores them in one convenient location. In case you need to reinstall your driver(s), you can do so from the backup straight away without needing any driver CDs. This utility allows you to choose to back up all or only a few selected drivers and optionally compress them into a zip file to save space.
The interface is extremely slick and the backup process is quick. The free application requires your e-mail address to start, or you can simply use the trail version till you get a key. Once the app is open, you can update both the necessary drivers present (which aren’t working as of now) and the software itself.
The program can also identify unknown hardware devices and usher you in the right direction. Restoring backed up drivers is as easy and pain-free as it can be. This application will easily appeal to everyone; newbies as well as advanced users.
For: Slick interface, zip-compression.
Against: Automatic driver download not supported yet, listing of detected drivers in text view only.
