Driver Magician offers a professional solution for device drivers backup, restoration, update and removal in Windows operating system. It identifies all the hardware in the system, extracts their associated drivers from the hard disk and backs them up to a location of your choice. Then when you format and reinstall/upgrade your operating system, you can restore all the “saved” drivers just as if you had the original driver diskettes in your hands. After one system reboot, your PC will be loaded and running with the required hardware drivers.
What’s more, Driver Magician has a built in database of the latest drivers with the ability to go to the Internet to receive the driver updates. It saves lots of time to find the correct drivers and mature drivers will obviously increase the performance of hardware. If there are unknown devices in your PC, Driver Magician helps you detect them easily and quickly with its built in hardware identifier database.

* Built in tool to help you maintain your computer by updating your drivers and detecting unknown devices.

The Bad
* You need registration code and registration name to restore drivers from the standalone executable if you don’t have Driver Magician installed; problem is you don’t get a registration code and registration name from GOTD to use with that standalone executable.

DriverMagician does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a worthy addition to any software toolbox. A work colleague, who is blind, tried this on my recommendation a while back when it was previously offrered but found it wouldn’t work with JAWS screenreader software. He emailed the developer to advise of this and within 48 hours it had been fixed and he was able to use the software. Kudos to the developer.
Now this is one handy dandy program that i would actually buy. I hate searching lame websites for drivers because most of them just jerk you around and want you to download something else. This program saved my butt on a few occassions when i inadvertantly lost..or wanted to update…drivers without searching the web. It did it for me. This program will save you frustration and valuable time. Try it.
