    Anyone try out this program? Any recommendations for using it? I came across it on google search and I can't seem to find any reviews for it.

    What notebook do you have?

    You can just download the drivers from your manufacturers website. Some even come with a driver update program

    Windows Update does that. ;)

    I guess it could be good for anything that Windows doesn't handle though.

    it's useful sometimes to have a tool like this. Driver magician updates all drivers and will back them up and reload them if the reformat.

    i think....
