I noly recently, very recently in fact, discovered your sitel which seems too good to be true [especially in this i-net decade]. At my age & becoming disabled & mostly housebound, does not mean I alheimer’s;. I am trying to tell you that while I did not know how your system works [i.e.having to physically install, setup and RUN an offering of the day in order register and activate the thing. Now you can tell old Gramps, tough, get lost; I am going to ask you to make an execption to me and allow me to download this March 26th Givaway complete with the registration code ans activation number sent to me at my e-mail address of:gerroldp@g-mail.com.
I ask thus kindness as I rightfully had to delete the week’s worth of some very helpful looking softwarethat I had saved up untill I could liesurly get to them one at a time to figure them out,
Today you can see is 27 Mar 08, Thursday. It is today that your Macro offering was going to be a life saver because of my situation… and this is how I learned, the hard way, yow your givaway download works. THIS IS AN ERROR OF MINE OF LESS THAN 24 HOURS THAT i ASK YOUR GRACE FOR; and for this time only. I will not ask again another exception.
Truthfully, I do need your kindness in this matter. I find I am unable tto remember running macros now and I am becoming a raving luniyic because I cannot keep jumping through this hoops and nagging and harrassment of that damn bully boy, Gates. He never could steal enough to make a sound operating system when the boys were “Micro Soft” -yes, two words for a boy that sold then:BLUE CHIP” IBM top dogs an operating system he did not even have in his head, let alone a page of his own code…a pimply faced, arrogant, little thief and damn pimp.

I thank you for any help you gan give me on this little exception I ask. I cannot check my mail often…I try once a week or two..or less; so I’m okay to hear from you next week or so.

Thank you, agin.

re:post #41 said:
“Driver magician is good software and used with a bit of common sense is well worth the download on the other hand what i believe is better free alternative is secunia PSI freeware from the makers of revo uninstaller https://psi.secunia.com/ which can be used by both advanced and novice users..there is no need for me to cover what others have already said about driver magician it’s just not my cup of tea as i have tested and decided not to keep it.”
Looking at the secunia website, I am not sure I see how these two softs do the same thing. DM back up & finds your drivers for you, this other one does something different(finding software vulnerabilites). Apples & oranges, from what I can tell.

#72: Um, you do know how to read don’t you? Why on earth did you expect this to back up your files when it clearly only backs up drivers?

Followed instructions but it did not activate so I ran the activate applet again after installing, and it seemed to “take”, rather than giving me the 15-day trial version nonsense like it did previously.

#2, Since you own Driver Genius Professional Edition, why don’t you tell everyone how the two programs compare, rather than asking us?

S/W Devs: I made several backups using different methods offered by the program, e.g. zipped, .exe However, after each backup finished, the list of carefully selected Drivers was cleared. Solution: have the program remember the boxes checked after a backup.

Overall, this seems like useful software, especially on a machine that gets R&R’d frequently, although, as mentioned above, not so much for computers getting serious upgrades.
Tnkx.

people who are saying ” once you wipe out your drive, you cant re-install the program, so you wont be able to use the back up without buying the program” (which would still be worth it if you have hard to find drivers) Should read and research the program before they go freaking out. Like (driver genious which I like better but have both) you can save the backup as a rar file or an exe file. Which you save on a cd , flash drive,or external drive etc.. and when you reinstall windows, you just run the exe file or rar file to reinstall the drivers. You don’t need the driver magician program at all to do that. I really like this site, and I see alot of programs that I don’t even know what they are for until I read some comments from smarter folks than me to give me an idea. But I wouldn’t go making negative remarks about the program until I knew for a fact that was the case. Seems like some people bit@h and moan about every offer even though it’s free, they cry about this or that. Damnn talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. I think some want to be first responders so they jump on an idea to complain about before they test or read to be sure they are right. Others I think wouldn’t be happy if you gave them a thousand dollar bill with wrinkles in it. jmho I for one just want to say thanks to the folks who offer us this software for free. (no matter if it expires in a year or whatever) :( And thanks to the folks on here who really do check out the programs and tell the rest of us what they find both good and bad about it or what other programs, (free or otherwise) that are as good or better than them. Not just look for the bad in any program to cry about. If you look hard enough, you will find something to bit@h about in any of them.

#26, I guess you invented the electronic circuitry of traditional microprocessor computers … I remember your name from electronics school. It must be nice to know everything. Computers, like everything, eventually will have problems and may crash … one of the main reasons there is failure is due to heat-related issues … It is hardly worth your time to do back-ups twice a day for your home computer … most hard drives can be recovered anyway. Data that changes infrequently can be backed up infrequently; data that changes more frequently must be backed up more frequently. Software such as today’s may be useful for some to prepare for disaster, not useful for others … it doesn’t really matter … just enjoy being able to come to a site like this, get free software, and complain for free …

Thanks…I installed the drivers on my USB removable 2gb stick. Yep, I am very happy with this program and thanks. Still can’t figure out why it does not get a 100% feedback since it is free, and I don’t have to mess with my CD’s anymore. duh…
thanks GOTD and Goldsolutions for this offering! thumbs up big time.
