3. Updating drivers
Updating drivers is easy with DriverScanner. To successfully install a driver, the program must be guided
through a three part process:
1. Scan
2. Driver download
3. Driver installation
We will now go through each process separately.
3.1
How to scan your system
By default and prior to registration, DriverScanner launches a scan automatically upon starting. If the scan
does not start automatically, click the
Scan
button from the
Overview
screen.
During the scan process, DriverScanner goes through your system hardware and finds appropriate system
drivers from Uniblue’s authoritative driver database. During this process you will see a progress bar with
text describing the section of hardware momentarily being analyzed.
Once the scan has finished, the program will display as results a list of devices with outdated drivers. To start
the download process, click on the
Download all
button at the bottom of the screen.
3.2
How to download new drivers
Once you have clicked on the
Download all
button, DriverScanner will contact the Uniblue database
and download the necessary data. A progress bar will approximate download completion until the words
“Download complete” appear together with a ‘very good’ tick.
At this stage, drivers will be listed one beneath the other. Clicking on the
Install
button will start a driver’s
installation process.
Note: A single driver can cater for more than one device. For example, DriverScanner may identify five out-
dated drivers but offer only three drivers. This is normal and technically sound.
