Driver Detective 6.5is a program that will scan your computer for all hardware devices and then compare your current drivers with a large database of the most up to date drivers available.
☞ Features:
Driver Detective 6.5 has access to a database of over 2,200,000 device drivers, and over 640,000 drivers that are specific to different computer manufacturers, such as Dell, Gateway, Compaq, and others.
The software has features you would typically find in driver update software, such as a scanning engine and download history, with a few exceptions. It does offer scan intelligence options that gears the recommendations for drivers to update to meet the needs of your system.
There are three options in this feature which are Universal Match Intelligence, OEM Match Intelligence and Motherboard Match Intelligence.
The useful driver backup wizard helps make it easy to copy all your new drivers onto a USB, CD, or other storage media. This reduces the headache associated with restoring and resetting your computer.
☞ Ease of Use:
Driver Detective 6.5 is very easy to use except its confusing, backwards interface. Interface is a little backwards and hard to get through. There are few features besides the scanning engine. This program would be a much more useful utility if it was simplified.
☞ Effectiveness:
During the process of scan, it came up with three drivers it thought were out of date. Luckily, we only found one false positive among these results, which is pretty good for driver update software. The remaining drivers that actually needed to be updated were for important devices, so we were grateful this program found the ancient drivers before something bad happened to our system.
☞ Help and Support:
The program has a contact form or email as its only help and support options. But it is capable of fulfilling the duty.
☞ Summary:
Driver Detective 6.5 is driver update software that is useful for people who need a quick and easy solution to updating drivers for all their peripheral hardware. If the manufacturer was to reconfigure the interface, it would be a lot better than it currently is.
