If you’re looking for a way to solve your computer problems, but aren’t a trained PC technician, Driver Detective may just be the answer to your computer troubles. Driver Detective is a software program that will examine your computer’s operating system for obsolete, missing and broken drivers that can cause problems for your computer, like crashes.

What Is A Driver?

A driver is a piece of software that works with your computer operating system to integrate hardware and provide command and control functions. In short, the driver tells your computer how to talk to hardware devices that are connected to it. Microsoft Windows comes with many drivers, but individual hardware items may require special drivers, or will only work correctly with updated drivers. Out of the box, your Windows installation may not come with the drivers you need to make your hardware work correctly with your computer.

There are no two ways around it: your computer can’t work properly without the right drivers, but many times application updates, operating system updates and new hardware installations leave broken drivers behind or don’t load the drivers you need to make your computer operate the way it should.

Driver Detective finds and fixes obsolete drivers, and can tell you whether your computer has the drivers it needs to make hardware and important computer functions work properly. In just five minutes, the Driver Detective can scan your operating system and determine whether obsolete, corrupt or missing drivers are causing your computer problems.

Why Driver Detective Beats The Alternative

The company that manufactured your computer, or the additional equipment you want to add will likely provide the most updated drivers for its equipment on the company Web site. You can spend hours visiting Web sites and locating new drivers for your hardware, or you can leave the heavy lifting to the Driver Detective. Driver Detective maintains a database with information on more than two million device drivers. When the Driver Detective scans your computer, it notes which drivers you have, the drivers you need and then it downloads the correct driver for your installation.

Having Driver Detective is like having a personal PC technician. A scan takes about five minutes to complete, and when the Driver Detective is done, it will provide you with a list of recommended actions. You’ll be surprised at how well your computer works after you’ve run the Driver Detective. You can try the program free, and a small fee will keep Driver Detective working on your computer indefinitely!
