Subject: Take Your Computer to the Device Doctor
| This Driver update utility (for Windows only) finds outdated drivers on your PC, and helps you download the latest versions, without charging you a dime. Using the utility, which can be installed or used as a portable application, is about as easy as it gets, just click the Begin Scan button, wait a couple of seconds, and you will be shown a list of drivers that can be updated. The download button for each driver will take you to the Driver Doctor website, where you can download the drivers for free, without signing up for anything at all. Most of the drivers come with setup programs, but some of them are nothing more than zip files, and would need to be installed manually, hopefully something they can improve on in the future. I use JAWS for Windows and had to use the JAWS Cursor to access sections of the program's screen but this wasn't too bad and I found eight drivers for my work computer running Windows XP. For Windows 7, I didn't have as much luck, with a few incorrect drivers being identified. That said, Windows 7 was only released recently, so expect that support to improve in the future. Device Doctor isn't perfect yet, but as a completely free, portable application that you can toss on your thumb drive, it's well worth a look. It might even save you some time searching for new drivers while you are fixing mom's PC. |
