Worked very well for me and my older XP single core PC.. After several PC problems on my old XP single core PC I was advised to update my chip set drivers, network card drivers, graphic card drivers and a couple of others that I can't even understand. So after searching the internet for each one I realized that I had no clue to install them. So I then searched for a program to do this for me and viola ! DG10 Pro. I downloaded successfully and then did my 1st scan only to find out 31 drivers were corrupt or out of date and that if i wanted to fix them I would have to pay, but I ended up with a discounted price so thought it was worth it. Anyway, sorted my PC out after putting in registration code and got all my drivers up to date. Now it's not very easy you do have to think a little after the initial download of the driver to get them installed but if you follow the prompts then you should be fine. Happy computing. Pros: Does it's job well and even found newest drivers for my old printer too Cons: not entirely idiot proof but nearly there, just take your time and follow prompts and remember to click install on each after download complete.

James Beardsmore. I an sorry but I had nothing but trouble with it, it locked up and the it coursed the Computer to fail, and this was after a new install, so I have had to reinstall windows XP Prol. I have no wish to try this program again, I lose everything thats on it and have to get drivers of the net, as this computer came without the set up disk.A great pity, I thought it would be the end of finding driver updates fpr me.My order ID is126420065-16610-443709 and I would like you to refund my 18/19 pounds I have wasted on this program.Yours regetfully.James Beardsmore Pros: It did the first one and as it came down to the forth or fifth, it stopped and locked up. Cons: Coursed the computer to fail. and hat to re Format it.

Avanquest Is...A Top Brand ie.Driver Genius. The program is a very good-one and Avanquest makes Top-Branded Products,If! you know what you are doing ??? People want to place (BLAME) on any and everything for thier PC failure(s) When,in-fact its not always the Product(s) that are messing-up the PC...Ignorance is Bliss,I guess. I happen to have this program and I do know how well it works at-least,for my PC.I don't have alot of (Trash & Garbage) downloaded on my PC. But,for someone to say that Avanquest's Driver Genius is not a good Driver-Downloader is just plain Stupid. You can have a $4,000 PC and still have nothing...Also sounds like a Braggar. You need to learn some things about how Driver program(s) work.So,..Don't belittle a good product and let me hear-it...or...Read about it.Semper-Fi Pros: Just an out-right Good installation for anyone to have. Cons: Sometimes a little slow on (some) download(s) of drivers.
