Are Device Drivers your nightmare? Let DriverScanner give you sweet dreams!

How many times have you encountered errors out of nowhere telling you that the driver for the printer is conflicting or not functioning properly due to a conflict in the hardware interrupt request (IRQ), prompting you to either repeatedly hit your head against the desk (please don't try at home) or grab the printer and throw it out the window (please don't try this either). Well guys and gals, someone has finally heard our desperate cries and given us a solution to our problem. Vista users will agree with me here, since the most frequent headache for users of Vista is the searching for, and updating of, old drivers for some printer, scanner, or digital camera in order to make it Vista compatible. Uniblue's DriverScanner is VISTA COMPATIBLE & XP Compatible and it fully provides an all in one solution! Gone are the days of having the hassle of browsing the Internet manually for a suitable driver for your printer model (and having to deal with all the other mishaps which come with the installation of drivers). Never again!

Device drivers generally either come with our operating system, or we install them from a CD when we buy a new toy to attach to our computer (like a third generation NVIDIA CineFX, or a simple webcam). From the small to the beastly, all hardware needs drivers to communicate with the software. Drivers are upgraded and updated, by the manufacturers, to remove bugs, add extra functionality to the hardware, or to improve the performance of the device. Unless you update your drivers regularly and manually (important note) you may face problems ranging from the relatively minor such as having hardware that seems a little buggy or maybe badly performing, to the more headache-inducing ones such as hardware failures, conflicts and complete system crashes.

In comes DriverScanner with its feature-rich, user-friendliness just freshly baked out of Uniblue's oven. Released recently, upon installation this useful application will first build a list of all your PC's drivers, before then cross checking these with Uniblue's authoritative database of updated drivers, and then finally alerting you about which of your drivers need updating.

DriverScanner also provides you with tools to backup all existing drivers. For example let's say that at some point in time your computer drivers are fully functional and everything is as it should be. You could opt to create a backup of all your existing drivers. If your system drivers go haywire, or if you decided to reinstall your operating system, then it would be easy to restore the drivers which were backed up and all is well again. This safety feature is also useful in cases where you opt to update a device driver and it creates a conflict. You can immediately resort to restoring your old working driver.

All in all this is an application which can be very useful for the stability of your PC and its peripherals.
