Driver Magician 3.4 Free Today Only - January 5, 2010 - on Give Away Of The Day (GAOTD)

Driver Magician is the latest in the current line of winter holiday period reruns of time-limited freebies from Give Away of the Day.

Note that if you're planning to use your driver backup on a new installation, you should take advantage of the option to "Clone all drivers to an auto-setup package (.EXE), so you can restore drivers without installing Driver Magician".

Developer's description:

Driver Magician offers a professional solution for device drivers backup, restoration, update and removal in Windows operating system. It identifies all the hardware in the system, extracts their associated drivers from the hard disk and backs them up to a location of your choice. Then when you format and reinstall/upgrade your operating system, you can restore all the “saved” drivers just as if you had the original driver diskettes in your hands. After one system reboot, your PC will be loaded and running with the required hardware drivers.

Key features

  • Back up device drivers of your computer in four modes.
  • Restore device drivers from backup in one mouse click.
  • Update device drivers of your PC to improve system performance and stability.
  • Uninstall device drivers
  • Live Update device identifier database and driver update database.
  • Detect unknown devices.
  • Get detailed information of the hardware drivers.
  • Clone all drivers to an auto-setup package (.EXE), so you can restore drivers without installing Driver Magician.

Maybe a system-related problem? I haven't found any similar reports in the GAOTD comments and one positive report (comment #70)of successful installation on Win 7 x64.

Sorry anyway... and thanks for the feedback.

Comment #2 on today's GAOTD page seems relevant:

When Giveaway day has passed you can’t recover your drivers on a fresh system without paying the full fee!

However, the developer says that you can "Clone all drivers to an auto-setup package (.EXE), so you can restore drivers without installing Driver Magician." So that would seem to be the route to take.
