DriverFinder is a utility that takes the headache out of updating, removing, or downloading driver files for your hardware. If you've ever ran into problems when using new hardware with your computer because of the driver files, this is the software you need.

After downloading and installing DriverFinder, the program will begin to automatically search your computer for missing or outdated drivers. Once it finds them, it will automatically update them to their latest versions. Those that have problems with windows or connecting their hardware or devices to their computers are likely having driver problems. Driver problems can arise when the files that help the computer communicate with the device are damaged, outdated, or even outright missing. Without these files, it is impossible for the computer to communicate with other hardware, and in some cases, it won't detect it at all.

DriverFinder works by detecting what model of PC you're operating on, and then conducting an internet search for driver files that match your type of computer. Once the software compiles a list of everything that needs updating, replacing, or downloading, it automatically downloads and installs the driver software so that you don't have to worry about it.

The basic version of DriverFinder only supports compiling a list of which driver files are damaged/missing and need updating. After upgrading to the full version, DriverFinder will then download and apply the necessary updates to fix the drivers.
