WinDriver Ghost for Windows

You can update and back up drivers on your computer with this helpful application, but driver updates are available only from the publisher. WinDriver Ghost's clean and simple interface is well-designed for novices. Finding all installed drivers is accomplished quickly.

You choose to back up the drivers in one of three formats: CAB file, EXE file, or folder set. These backup drivers can only be extracted using the WinDriver Ghost Restore function. This application also installs new drivers, and archives Outlook and IE Favorites. The Update function searches for the latest driver version available for download. However, it checks only one default URL for updates and doesn't allow the user to choose a desired URL. In this 15-day trial version, it includes the Need a Language Translator menu to provides links to Web-translator applications.

Despite the easy-to-understand interface, novice users will still need a visit to the help file. WinDriver Ghost's backup function is quick and useful, but advanced users will dislike the short trial period and URL download limitations.
