Robert Blake, be aware this sends ALOT of data back to their servers as well as POSTing unknown data to a 3rd party server that constantly responds 401 authorisation required. Which may sound like not a problem but the POST was received by the server that rejected it and could still be used in some way. The amount of unexplained unconventional background communication this performs with theirs and others servers is very concerning especially considering the potentially malicious mass deletion of folders completely unrelated to any driver or part of the windows or any installed program. ( I am beginning to suspect they are hosting maliciously modified drivers since they repackage what are normally digitally signed executable packages in simple .7z archives meaning modified MSI files could be inserted into the driver packages to perform any action with TrustedInstaller super rights)

Congratulations you had a problem with a bad video driver and the video driver this supplied corrected the video overlay problem but that does not make repackaging drivers in unsigned .7z archives a good thing.

TK, thanks for your deep dive input. Appreciated.

Das, a BIOS file is not a driver and often requires special installation procedures.

I don't think any driver update utility offers BIOS updates.

dd, technically the systems BIOS is the most fundamental of drivers. Basic Input Output System, was used by CP/M in its various forms and MS-DOS/IBM-DOS as well as 16-bit versions of windows to access the bulk storage and console devices as well as pre-configure the chipsets. Not so much used by 32bit and 64bit Windows nowadays but it is still used to provide initial booting and control of built in hardware features.

Lluis Serran,
I don't understand the problem

When you open the page from the link in the Read Me file, your name and email address should be in the relevant boxes. If not, enter the information, tick the box that you are not a robot, and the code will be sent to your email address. You simply copy it from the email, and enter it, with your email address, into the activation window.

Derek, certain email configurations just won't work. e.g. Yahoo always puts giveaway emails into its own SPAM folder on its web/imap folders and so does not offer them to a POP3 email client. I am sure there are other combinations that can also fail in a similar way... plenty of reasons for the problem!

TK,

I appreciate your problem - simple answer would be to use a different provider, like BT or similar when requiring access to downloaded activation codes etc.

So? That's not unusual. Just download it to each PC where you want it, and activate it there.

dd, You misunderstand the licence key can only be used to activate ONCE. Download/install on a another PC and input licence code and get message, "This code has been used up." You receive the same licence code for different downloads. Sorry.

Lindsay Mclaughlin, It's in the readme file...

Lindsay Mclaughlin,

No licence key is in the readme file.
There is a URL Link to go to, and through it, you will get your licence key

Derek, I didn't get a 'read me' . when I downloaded it , it just went straight to a zipfile and installed from there - normally I do download them to desktop no problem, but in this case all I got was the application installing straight from the download. not had that before, hence the question

Derek, all I got is instead of the usual 'setup' and read me was a WinZip folder which installed the unregistered copy and nothing else.

Maureen, I was told the same, however, with drivers, you must keep them up-to-date. They fix bugs, that my allow others to access your computer

Andy Bell, and new drivers may introduce NEW BUGS as newer features are added. IF it aint broke, don't fix it. Only reasons to update a driver is if its an public facing device with a security flaw that the driver fixes e.g. bluetooth or wifi drivers... OR if you have an exposed BUG (it's broke) then when possible fix it. unless you need support for newer technologies like OGL upgrades to permit some game to run...

william kelso, I agree with you, but the program does give you the option to update individual drivers. I downloaded it and ran it, to find out.

william kelso, Automatic pushed driver updates, especially via windows updates too, can and do break certain devices. Where the pushed generic driver is given priority over a signed specialised driver for a given piece of hardware where the software requires the specialist driver and cannot work with a generic driver pushed by windows update based upon vendor and device id alone.
I had to disable Windows 10 windows update pushed driver updates in group policy to maintain certain devices and software functionality.
