This is about the LAMEST program I've ever seen.

The scenario is almost always this:

Go to a menu, or the wizard, and select BACK UP DRIVERS in whatever category, it searches for drivers, then you'd just THINK you'd hit the Backup button right? Noooooooo...it consistently tells you "You haven't selected any drivers" even if you hit the checkbox next to the main user name that appears in the window...doing that does absolutely nothing btw...checking the box should mean you want it to do something in that category..but it doesn't.

And even in "wizard" (ha what a joke) mode, you say Backup ALL drivers right...then you hit the backup drivers button...and again it tells you "you haven't selected any drivers to backup" Well DUHHHHHHHHHHH I told it to do ALL of them, how frigging idiotic IS this program?? No wonder noone has reviewed it, they try it once and say this garbage doesn't even WORK.

And I see absolutely NO improvement over the 2005 version I was using...for a little bit anyway, that's why I THOUGHT this version might not be so lame...silly me! Don't bother unless you just want to be frustrated with a completely UN-intuitive interface and commands that do NOT do what you tell them to do and what you EXPECT them to do.

The ONLY thing I got to work on this was the View menu/Update Drivers Manually or Automatically (WOW the View menu is a really good place for a function like that huh?)...at least it listed the drivers...but then, once again, I select backup, and it says I haven't selected anything even if I want to do them all.

Plus it takes toooo long when you do get it to look...and once you're scanning, forget canceling it...it doesn't work! You can't even ctrl-alt-delete out of it...it refuses with a message!
