Publisher's description of DriverMax 2.4
From Innovative Solutions:DriverMax allows you to easily reinstall all your Windows Vista and Windows XP drivers. No more searching for rare drivers on discs or on the Web or inserting one installation CD after the other. Simply export all your current drivers (or just the ones that work ok) to a folder or a compressed file. After reinstalling Windows you will have everything in one place.
When you are planning to reinstall all drivers, DriverMax can help you again: in 5-10 minutes and a single computer reboot you will have everything back in place. DriverMax is also able to display a complete report of all drivers (versions, release dates) installed on your system. This feature can be very useful when you want to analyze the differences between the drivers installed on different machines. Version 2.4 improves drivers exporting under Windows Vista.
Editor's review of DriverMax 2.4
5.0 stars
- "Maximize your driver security"
Behind a slick interface, this program backs up all your PC's drivers in case you mess up something fierce. From registration to implementation, DriverMax works fast, runs smooth, and does even more than mere backing up.
When you run the app, it asks you if you'd like to run the trial version or apply for a registration key. The key is free, though, requiring only an e-mail address and your name. Once you've entered the key, the program interface appears, with slick button navigation: Driver Operations, Updates and Identification, and Popular Hardware. Mousing over one reveals more choices, so you can export your drivers, import drivers, or view an installed drivers report.
Updates lets you update both the DriverMax software and the drivers themselves, although as of this writing there is a warning label on the DriverMax Web site that downloads are not currently functioning. The program can also identify unknown hardware and point you in the direction of popular hardware options, pointing users to a compilation of statistics about different video cards and processors.
The strongest features, though, relate to driver backup and reinstalls. They function smoothly, offering users the option to back up all drivers or compile a customized list. Reinstalling an "accidentally" deleted driver was as pain-free as could be. This is a great utility tool that should appeal to newbies, advanced hackers, and everybody in between.
