Drivermax is a program that allows you to update the drivers on your computer to the latest version available. It has a free version and a premium version. In this review I will review the free version of Drivermax.
Overall score:
8/10
Pros:
The stable drive still crashes my system for the purpose, or issues for some reason
Set the system restore option before each install
Provides feedback on driver training
Various useful features beyond just downloading drivers
Cons:
It can only be installed from day 1 of the driver
They would hand over to the rulers to access the complicated process
First, let’s start with the easy part: engines. The first thing that struck me is that although Drivermax claims that users without the version can download two drivers in one day on their site, in practice I was only ever able to download one per day. I would have another major complaint, that is to actually get the driver, look for updates and open a separate browser window where you will have the file, which you can then open with the Drivermax agent to allow the queue up Bartholomew a. If that sounds confusing, you’d be right. It’s a first to suggest something, but the learning curve is pretty smooth.
Now, if these two problems are eliminated in the improvement of the prize pool, they are completely eliminated (or at least, that is the claim). Upgrade to Drivermax Pro for $10.00 for a 30-day license, $29.00 for a 1-year license, or $39.00 for a 2-year license. The good thing about these licenses is that they allow for “unlimited use of DriverMax on an unlimited number of computers.”
Aside from these two major complaints I have yet to run into some issues with the program. As far as I can tell all nonumy and new drivers are working fine. I know of no crashes or issues. I like that once the driver is installed and the system is pushed, there is a feedback request that allows you to share if the driver worked for you or not. Each driver is rated according to the responses that they received from the users. This feature is very handy and increases the security feeling with Drivermax. Drivermax also goes beyond the job by offering some extra features. With Drivermax you can get detailed information about your hardware (the information I had yet to find elsewhere) and find information about unknown devices connected to your computer. Both tools are worth having. Another important set of features involves the backup drive and the rolling drive. All of these can be done through Drivermax, but I still have a situation that requires them.
One thing I found particularly unique about Drivermax is that it manages to bypass the limitations placed by Sony on my Vaio laptop which disallows the installation of drivers directly from Intel for my chipset and whatnot. I’m not sure what the mechanism is, but when I previously used Radarsync to scan and update my drivers, I ran into this issue just as if I tried to do it manually. An error would come up saying the driver I’m trying to install does not match the required driver software. There wouldn’t have been an influx if Sony had kept the drivers on their website updated to the latest possible version, but they tend to stagnate there. Either way, Drivermax allowed me to pass because it was completely stable without any sacrifice.
I really enjoyed working with Drivermax and would recommend it to anyone who is serious about keeping their drivers updated. Although it is a little slow to do one day with the free version of the driver, for the average user using one or two calculators is more than enough speed. But the good thing is that there is a Pro version for users who need those extra benefits at an affordable rate and with a reasonable license.
