Any time that I have to do a re-install of Windows XP one of the major slowdowns that I face is making sure that I am able to locate all the drivers that I need to make everything work correctly. For instance for one of my motherboards require at least 4 separate drivers to be installed in order for the Ethernet, north bridge and sound card to name a few to be able to work. Well with today's Freeware pick DriverMax you can make a copy of all your necessary drivers which you can then have for easy install if you have to restore or re-install your complete operating system. Here are some of the highlights of this freeware program. The user interface is entirely wizard based; any chosen task is conveniently broken down into 2 or 3 simple screens.
You can export all drivers, drivers that belong to a certain category, or any specific selected drivers. Export to folder or to compressed zipped folder.
Exporting is very fast compared to another program I’ve tried recently (and yes they both produced the same 35 megs worth of drivers).
Importing and installing drivers can take as little as 5 mins and requires only a single reboot.
Generates a comprehensive report on installed drivers that you can use to compare existing driver versions with the latest drivers that may be out there.
Vista compatible.
This program is registerware. You have to supply a valid email address within 30 days to get the free registration code. Found on:Freewaregenius Labels: Freeware Friday
