| 312327 | 2005-01-09 10:45:00 | Thanks for replies. Driver Genius isnt free, its cost would be more than 4 times what I paid for stick. I presume the price on site would be in US Baileys. I could bite the bullet and buy MS XP. I think with XP the stick would get reconised. Although I think XP costs about 350 Baileys from DSE. Then again it might be cheaper to buy another new computer with XP OEM installed. Decisions decisions! tedheath |

| 312330 | 2005-01-10 00:02:00 | The free version isnt much use. I am not complaining cant expect something for nothing. I will go to plan C which is throw it in a drawer and forget about it. Buy a newer model from TM. TEDHEATH |

| 312331 | 2005-01-10 00:20:00 | Granted i have been given a ban and I'm not suposed to be posting,After reading this thread it became obvious that i should drop in a bit more info about the program under discussion that i recommended earlier in the thread . No doubt the heavy-light brigade will instantly hit the report post button upon seeing this and the wrath of the mods will once again fall upon me,So be it (having said that,If my input was a bannable offence then it should by rights be deleted from the other thread,If its not bad enough to delete then why is my user name disabled? . . . . lmao) Anyhow,Back to the subject at hand,Driver Genius is best used to back up drivers on your system that weren't assigned by the OS(the wizard steps you through this) Each driver is then saved in its own folder within the directory you chose to locate them . When it comes time to re-install the drivers you DO NOT WANT TO USE DRIVER GENIUS TO DO SO . Over time you get virtual drivers,network drivers,Partially installed drivers,partially removed drivers,disabled drivers that you do not want to automaticly throw onto your sqeaky clean install of Windows . The best bet is to copy all the driver files back to your hd in there back up'd state,Then as Windows locates HW and asks for drivers you point the install wizard at the apropriate folder . You do not need driver genuis installed for this process,infact you dont want it installed . Given that this is the best way to use the app then you most certainly do not want to purchase the program . That is all,I will now return to being banned . |
