![]() ![]() Much like Driver Reviver, it offers a summary of your PC’s current state, listing the number and severity of outdated drivers. I don’t like how the app devotes time to hawking Uniblue’s other products, but I do like how DriverScanner’s overview tab makes it easy to gauge the overall health of your PC. ![]() The offending items are listed with an icon that immediately makes it apparent whether your drivers are “old,” “very old,” or “ancient.” DriverScanner uses large icons to identify the drivers, too, making it easier to tell when the application is talking about a sound controller instead of a USB controller, for example. DriverScanner 2012 has an attractive visual interface. It scans your Windows PC for out-of-date drivers as soon as you launch the app, and quickly reports back to you on the status of your system. It correctly identified 21 out-of-date drivers.ĭriverScanner’s dashboard makes it easy to gauge the overall health of your PC.Uniblue’s DriverScanner 2012 works very much like rivals Perfect Updater and Driver Reviver. Once PerfectUpdater has located your out-of-date drivers, it presents them to you in a neatly organized list that makes it easy to see just how old they are. Raxco Software’s PerfectUpdater isn’t perfect, but this application is one of the best solutions I’ve found for locating and fix out-of-date drivers on a Windows PC. Read the full review and download Device Doctor (free). Instead of handling it within the app itself, you’re bumped to Device Doctor’s Web site, where you see an ad touting the $30 Device Doctor Pro, which promises automatic driver updates. While Device Doctor does actually allow you to update drivers in its free version, the process is clunky. Unfortunately, things go downhill from there, and quickly: whereas PerfectUpdater and both correctly identified more than 20 out-of-date drivers on my Windows 7 PC, Device Doctor found only seven. Device Doctor begins on the right foot: After you launch the app, it tells you to connect all your hardware devices and then asks you to begin the scan manually. ![]()
