Hardware device compatibility would be the topmost reason behind the success of Microsoft Windows operating-system, despite this Windows users have to struggle for correct device drivers for legacy hardware and devices from small vendors. We have shared two excellent free solutions to search, install and backup Windows device drivers - DriverMax and Device Doctor. However, both these utilities require an active internet connection to work therefore if you require which can work offline free, open-source DriverPack Solution would be the solution.

DriverPack Solution supports driver search, installation and update for Windows XP / Vista / 7 (x86-x64). The utility is offered in two flavors the lite version sized 7Mb requires an active internet connection to download drivers and the Full version sizing 3Gb comes with full device driver database and can be burned on a DVD for offline use anywhere.

It is usually highly recommended to update your device drivers as hardware manufacturers often release new versions of their drivers for fixing bugs, adding new features, increasing device and system performance, improving computer stability, fixing compatibility with other devices and closing security holes, While most of the popular automatic Windows driver updation utilities are not free, we reviewed RadarSync as one possible free option which worked quite well for me, but failed on many computers as noted in user comments.

Developed by Innovative Solutions, A Microsoft Certified Partner - DriverMax would be the best free utility to download and install latest driver updates for your Windows XP and Vista computers, the community powered driver updater service currently supports more then 80,000 different hardware devices with 1,29,000 different driver versions.
