What is Driver Detective?

Driver Detective is a easy-to-use, downloadable software program that easily and automatically updates the device drivers on your Windows PC.  It does so by identifing the type of PC that you have, then downloading all of the drivers that are needed for your PC. For example, if you own a Acer computer, Driver Detective will recommend drivers specifically for your Acer computer. The user-friendly interface makes it simple to find which drivers are out of date on your system and to download available updates for them.

Why should you use Driver Detective?

Driver Detective will make the job of updating drivers a breeze. If done manually, it can take hours to research and download drivers.  In addition, if the wrong driver is installed it can potentially shut down your PC.

Driver Detective also comes with an intelligent wizard that allows you create a backup of all your downloaded drivers. You can make a copy of this backup on a CD, USB Drive, or a network drive.

Why Do You Need Driver Updates?

Everything on your computer need updating from time to time.  Operating systems remind you regularly to update when new software becomes available.
Many times people assume updates for operating systems includes updates for other software on their computer. In reality, unless you specifically have the update from the manufacture of the software or component, these updates may never occur without you seeking them out.

Over the life of your PC,  hardware standards for computers improve and new hardware devices are developed. Even software, regularly updated by users, places increased demands on older hardware. So your older hardware devices sit neglected, desperately trying to keep up with new software with only their original drivers.
