3.1.3 Registry restore
To restore a backup copy of your registry, access the
Restore
tab from the navigation panel. The last registry
backups will be listed one beneath the other, most recent first. Select the backup version you want to resort
to then click the
Restore
button at the bottom right of the screen. Registry changes will be implemented
upon restarting your computer.

DriverScanner
DriverScanner scans your computer to provide a list of drivers that need to be updated. With single click
convenience, DriverScanner will then install each driver update on your PC.
3.2.1 Downloading new drivers
To update a driver, DriverScanner must be guided through a three part process:
1. System scan
2. Driver download
3. Driver installation
After scanning through PowerSuite, click on the DriverScanner
Launch Application
button and the
program will launch straight in the
Scan results
page within the
Driver scan
tab.
To start the download process, click on the
Download all
button at the bottom right of the screen. During
this process, DriverScanner will contact the Uniblue database and download the necessary data. A progress
bar will approximate download completion until the words “Download complete” appear 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
outdated devices but offer only three drivers. This is normal and technically sound.
3.2.2 How to install new drivers
To install a downloaded driver, click on the word
Install
displayed in the middle column of the
Update
drivers
page. Note that drivers need to be installed one by one.
Before clicking, check for the driver’s safety rating, displayed to the right of the install button. System drivers
are labeled risky as their installation is particularly delicate. We recommend that you do not install risky
drivers unless you are an advanced user taking a considered decision.
Once you click on
Install
, DriverScanner launches an automatic restore point which will allow you to roll
back to previous drivers on demand. DriverScanner will then install the new driver automatically and
silently. A pop-up will confirm a driver’s successful installation.
