“Back up and restore all of your drivers automatically”
by Elena Santos
Drivers may not be the most exciting part of your computer, but they are very important. Let Driver Genius keep them in top condition.
Driver Genius is a complete program to manage your computer's drivers, the software that tells the computer how to interact with hardware such as mice and sound cards. Sometimes drivers become out of date, and updating or changing them can make a big difference to your computer's performance.
Driver Genius is an easy tool to use, even for those who are not familiar with the more technical aspects of computing. The self-explanatory interface prompts you to scan your computer, and then suggests the drivers that could be updated. As this is the trial version, it doesn't download the updates automatically, but it does tell you which are out of date so that you can go and look for the update yourself.
Driver Genius also allows you to uninstall drivers, and, importantly, back up existing ones to .EXE files which will allow you to restore your drivers in a mouseclick. It also allows you to diagnose individual drivers to see where any problems might lie.
Driver Genius is a comprehensive driver management tool to ensure your drivers are doing the job they should.
