Saved me a lot of times

It has saved me a lot of times. Tried it on three different computers.
The latest one, being a rig with new motherboard, Gfx card with XP 64bit.
I had lost all hope, until I remembered I had Driver Genious.
It saved me by finding the appropriate version for my Realtek Ethernet card, Scsi Drivers, Chipset, and HD Sound Driver. The ones that came with the CD of the motherboad did not work.
Realtek site did not even have the drivers and MSI's Live update is TOTALLY CRAP!!!
Driver Genious to the rescue again.
A real value for money deal here.

The complexity of actually finding the right driver for certain hardware cannot be overcome with an application of this type. Specifically, it found an update for my nVidea geforce go 7600 board. But is the the HP recommended driver, which is different from the WHQL driver, which is different from the driver on the nvidea site, which is different from drivers on softpedia.....
Most of what it found wasn't applicable to my OS and wasn't even a real update, i.e. is recommended the new version if ipoint for my mouse which actually a year older then the version I'm currently running.

OK- I downloaded V.7 - LOOKS better, but it's your money

I tried the FULL version of this program at version 5.3 and found it to be completely useless, and only partially working.
(Clicking on the Download button just opened the program's own disk directory window!!)
Version 6.1 was a bit better, but I will not pay to try to download the non-existant updates that it says it found.
This is now version 7 and it has undergone a major face-lift -
I will not be paying to try the Download section, as it still shows there are updates available that I know are not.
It says that there is an Nvidea NForce for MCP61 v11.9 dated 09/27/2006 - NO!
This would be rather impossible as the driver I am currently using was not released until 01/05/2007 and it is v11.09!
OK, this may be one particular bad example, but I do not think it worth paying $30 to find out!
