If you’re like most computer users, you probably have a long list of drivers that you need to install in order to get your computer up and running. But installing drivers can be a pain, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience with computers. Fortunately, there’s an easier way to find and install drivers: the Driver Easy software from IObit. Driver Easy is a free utility that scans your computer for outdated or missing drivers and then downloads and installs the latest versions of them automatically. Driver Easy can also help you troubleshoot driver problems. For example, if your computer won’t start because of a missing driver, Driver Easy can help you find the driver that’s causing the problem and install it. Driver Easy is easy to use: just run it on your computer and let it do its job. You’ll be able to find and install the latest drivers for your hardware in no time at all. ..
There’s a really simple little utility called DriverView that you can use without even installing (just unzip it and run) that will quickly give you a list of which drivers are installed, the version numbers and other useful information.
Once you launch the utility, it’s fairly self explanatory…
If you double-click on the driver you can see all the details:
You can also choose to save the list of drivers in a number of different formats. Text format would be useful if you wanted to paste it into a forum thread while asking for assistance.
Alternatively, you can generate an HTML report of all the items or just the selected ones.
It could be useful to generate a report when your system is working optimally that you could later compare against if you have issues with driver updates in the future. Note that system restore helps out with that as well…
