Driver Detective
Driver Detective is utility software that allows you to keep your Windows PC up-to-date with new drivers. While your system can continue to work with the drivers that came installed on it, at some point of time the drivers will become obsolete as companies release new drivers and updates regularly for their hardware.
By updating your PC’s drivers, you can expect better performance and stability. While manual installation of these drivers is possible, it takes a lot of time to search, find and install files and therefore, it is better to hand over the job to Driver Detective that will search for new drivers and update them as needed.

Some of the features of the software are:
Automatic Driver Updates: This feature allows your system to stay in sync with new drivers as soon as the vendor releases them. This means that you do not need to monitor the vendor’s Website in order to check whether the company has released a new version of driver for their device or hardware component.
Driver Detective will automatically check for new updates and inform you that updates are ready to be installed.
Check Updates for Unconnected Devices: You can use Driver Detective to scan for changed device files even if the device is not connected to the system. This means that you do not need to connect a device stacked away in your shelf just to update its driver files.
Huge database of driver files: Driver Detective has more than two million drivers in its database, which ensures that most of your system’s drivers would be monitored and updated by it.
Machine Intelligence: One outstanding feature of Driver Detective is that this program has the intelligence to detect the manufacturer and model of a computer. This way the tool can download the drivers written specifically for a particular computer model.
Driver Backup: In some cases, new drivers that are installed into the system may cause a crash or undesirable results. In such cases, it is good to have a backup of old drivers so that they may be restored into the system when needed.
Driver Detective allows you to back up your drivers so that new installations can be rolled back in case you do not need them.
Secure Downloading of Drivers: Driver Detective uses secure installations to ensure that your system is not loaded with the wrong files. The software uses .NET technology to ensure safe and secure downloads of new drivers.
Simple User Interface: The user interface of the software is intuitive and one does not need to be an expert in order to get the software to update a system. All you need to do is click the Scan button and Driver Detective will check your entire system for obsolete driver files.
After the scanning is complete, the system will display the list of drivers that are obsolete and need to be updated. You can select individual drivers that you would like to replace with the updated version. You can also install alternate drivers, if they are available, if you are not happy with the one that you recently installed.
Update History: At times, you may need to view which files were installed into your system at a previous date. This may be required to identify issues with the PC or to check compatibility issues. In any case, Driver Detective will provide you with a history list of updated files that you had previously installed into your system.
Integrated Help and Customer Support: The software provides an intuitive integrated help interface that you can utilize to solve your queries or apprehensions about using the product. If in further doubt, you may contact customer support and ask explanations on any queries that you may have.
Windows Vista Upgrade Wizard: This is an extremely useful feature for those who are planning to upgrade their current operating system to Windows Vista. Driver Detective will not only enable you to check whether or not your computer is Vista-ready, but will also enable you to download Vista compatible drivers on your computer.
Driver Detective is an extremely useful tool that takes away all your worries about maintaining up-to-date drivers on your computer.
