Don't use it the drivers are 3rd party and your PC will not work. If you do be sure to create a restore point and then uninstall this so-called Driver Booster. I use Driver Easy now for 5 yrs. and yet to have a problem and its FREE.

Hey i downloaded the boost pro give away yesterday but had problems with my pc today and to reset it causing me to lose the the program is there away you could resend me the link. Thank you

after trying to get it registered 4 times even a download send to me would not register so its useless

Rental ware garbage...will cause more issues than it will fix...especially if you don't know what you're doing...which seems to be almost everyone here. If it isn't broke...don't fix it.

This worked exactly as stated and just like most of the GiveAway of the Day apps. Request an email link, download from the link, open the folder (don't run setup yet), open the README file and copy the registration number to the clipboard. The run setup (you can run it from within the zip file.) It will create whatever folders it needs, put an icon on the desktop, then run. In the bottom right corner of the app you'll see an option to enter the registration code. When you do, the program is updated to the PRO version. Once you've done that I would recommend that you close the program, then relaunch. The PRO version has a larger database so you may pickup a few more updates. The description in the promo says 6 months of PRO use. See how you like it, then decide. I'm a bit on the cautious side so I install a few of the related updates at a time. Thanks guys for a well needed app. My Dell notebook badly needed this and they now want to be paid for there program. RECOMMENDED

Seriously Peeps, if you want the best Driver Updating program that does everything for you. Then you can't go past:

I have used many of these driver updating programs and none come anywhere near this one. I had a driver that was missing on my PC that none of the others found. But not only did this program find the missing driver it also installed it automatically for me.

I was so impressed with it I ended up buying the Home Pro Version. Plus if you decide to buy it. It's a one off purchase that gets you a lifetime license and updates.

Plus don't forget to get Driver Talent For Network Card while your at it.

This program allows you to download and install network drivers without an internet connection. Once you are connected to the internet using this program then use Driver Talent to download all your drivers. Nothing could be more simpler when you have done a fresh reinstall of Windows and have no drivers or a drivers CD.

Got a 404 on link provided at my email. Disgusting!

I installed on Windows 7 Home Premium and had no issues. Ran once, let it do it's thing and everything is still fine.

Why's this program taking an hour to install?

I will never install another Iobit program again. I had their portable version of their uninstaller. Recently when I opened it , the program took it upon itself to install the program to my computer without my consent. I have never had a portable program to this before. Truly rude and intrusive. I used Revo to get rid of the installation and shredded all my portable Iobit folders. Thank you for the offer but I will pass.

got driver booster free not pro

I've been using Driver Booster Pro for many years on several computers and it has always worked flawlessly with no problems ever. To all those crying that this is a "lease" and not free software because the lease expires after a while, get used to it. All software is going this route, especially good software that requires constant updating and tends to get pirated i.e. see Adobe creative suite. This is a great product from Iobit and I trust all their products.

Does anyone know if there is a way of keeping the download that the program does? Think that if I have to rebuild at some point it will be handy to have the driver packages on a thumb-drive or other backup source to reinstall.

Driver Booster Pro est un très bon logiciel pour la mise à jour des pilotes.
J'utilise ce logiciel depuis longtemps, il est fiable et son utilisation est simple et rapide.
MERCI.

Installed without incident on Windows 7 Home Pro. Perfect timing, my license had just run out on the om Driver Booster 5.9. Thaks, GOTD.

If you have version 5.2 from the January 2008 Giveaway just install and click the Pro button on top and enter the new key. Otherwise you'll have 8 day's left.

Sorry, guys, but I trust NO "Driver Booster", Driver Inspector" or any such programs. My past experience has been that they are either over-eager to remove "outdated" drivers and remove perfectly good drivers thus rendering your apps (and occasionally your OS) inoperative, or they remove only part and make updating a real P.I.T.A.

Much the same opinion as to the "Registry Inspector/Cleaner" programs, I'd sooner carry an elephant onto a "Thin Ice" signed lake.

YMMV... hope it works for you!

I always found it's best to rely on Intel, HP and Micro$oft for my updates on drivers. Had a bad experience with another third party driver updater, a few years ago. Had even a worst experience with another iOrbit software product. That was a nightmare from hell and way to long a story to go into here. Told myself, never ever again.Thanks to GOTD for the offering.

I had the same problem, but the second time the program accepted the code

.
There are 6 things I like about IObit Driver Booster:

Free version:

1 - the free version is always free, the Pro version reverts to the free version when the Pro license expires,

2 - IObit Driver Booster tools can remove unused devices, that helps me troubleshoot what is actually there in my PC, and not be distracted by listing of devices that are gone,

3 - it list new hardware drivers so I can compare to the original equipment manufacturer's or Microsoft's recommended drivers, or, if some device or accessory has been orphaned, I can directly install a driver presented by IObit Driver Booster,

Pro version:

4 - it has a tool to fix device errors in device manager,

5 - offers automatic updates for software drivers for pesky Adobe and Microsoft.

6 - the Pro license generally stays working during minor version upgrades ( here, my v5.2 license migrated automatically, so the v5.5 GOTD license for me is superfluous ), AND if a minor version license fails on a minor upgrade installation, I can usually just re-install an earlier version, insert the working license, then update the software minor version, and the license will migrate, that is, if my v5.2 license fails when inserted directly into v5.5, I can re-install v5.2 and insert the license there, then update to v5.5, and v5.5 will then inherit the working license from v5.2.

Beware:

All IObit programs install TSR terminate and stay resident background programs that call home and nag you to update and buy upgrades and buy other IObit programs.

I don't like this, I prefer any program to full exit and lay formant when I exit the program.

So, after each IObit software session, I use free Microsoft SysInternals [ AutoRuns ] to inspect and turn off all IObit background auto run programs, IObit devices, IObit drivers, IObit task schedules, and so on, and then IObit programs become safe tools for me to use that do not "hang around" when I close them ... but I have to run [ AutoRuns ] after each IObit session ... this is pretty much the same challenge for most free programs tools and utilities, not just IObit, by the way.

Download the trial from their website and insert the key in lower right corner, it will activate.

I've used the freeware version of this program before and it was my go-to for solving some driver issues that occurred the last time I updated my OS. This is not something that I keep installed or use frequently, but in the past whenever I've needed it I got good results. The freeware version was always trying to sneak other software onto my machine so be real careful and read the installation licenses closely.

"Driver update" software is the new Registry Cleaner which itself was the new Snake Oil. An expensive fad, it's encouraged by developers looking for another source of income from paranoid computer users who once upon a time were intimidated with horror stories about "registry problems" but now that they're savvy enough not to fall for that are targeted with horror stories about "out-dated drivers".

If your computer is working fine, then don't mess with it. If you're worried about its security, then use Real Time protection. If Windows Update has driver updates available, it will let you know and you can download them. If hardware manufacturers like Nvidia etc et al have updates they believe you need, they'll tell you. If software publishers like Glary etc et al have updates available, they'll also tell you.

As to 'Driver Booster Pro 5.5': yet again iObit undermines the GOTD ethos as stated at the top of this page: 'Every day we offer FREE licensed software you'd have to buy otherwise'. No such offer is being made today because this particular Chinese developer long since stopped being a software seller. You cannot buy its products even if you wanted to but must instead lease them at an annually recurring charge that, like today's, is entirely unjustified. And though iObit always quotes the full price of its meagre 12-month licenses in all its promotions here and elsewhere, it never offers 12-months usage anyway. Today's so-called "giveaway" is thus an extended trial of $11.50sworth of needlessly expensive rentalware.

Thanks GOTD, but no thanks.

Mine was to expire in 12 days Thank You You never failed me even once ;)
