@Mike Millard – Thanks for sharing your experiences. I know that the Intel chipset drivers cause more problems with most driver tools.
The lack of response is worse though, but Uniblue definitely does not belong to the top 3 at the moment! DriverFinder, DriverDetective and DriverRobot are the best driver update tools around.

I talked my wife into purchasing the full Uniblue package to help revive sagging response times for her older Compaq. Driver Scanner appeared to update everything EXCEPT for a chipset update which it downloaded but could not install. Multiple attempts still leave the warning in place, and multiple “send error mss” to Uniblue failed to generate any response despite their “allow 2-days for a response message”. No apparent problems with other elements of thepackage, but opting for 30-day moneyback promise.

@PREDAIS – For a license key of driver detective you will need to register and purchase the software, I do not have any keys other than my personal copy used for the test.
Regarding your error, yes in most cases that is a driver problem.

@dan tuman - Driver Detective works fine on Window 7. Make sure you download the latest version though. Your error is most likely related to a .NET framework error. Try downloading and reinstalling the .NET framework 3.5. If it still does not work, you could try a different driver update tool. DriverFinder is a fairly new but good tool as well, and Windows 7 compatible. I'll do a review on that shortly.

@Don – Well maybe way they want to protect their sales details from competitors and ask people for some personal details to make sure they are serious?
But I agree with you, which is why these details (apart from the license agreement itself) are part of the review table.
On the other hand, with anti-spam laws today, these companies really will remove you from their mailing list if you unsubscribe.

Why is it most of these products won’t give the price or terms up front but want your name and email address first? I am very wary of any company that does business in that manner on the internet. I get way to much spam already!

@Tanner – You are right, they have changed there license terms and only allow 3 PCs now. I’ll update the details in the review, thanks.
Regarding the order, you probably did not deselect the additional year of license support which is selected by default in the purchase screen. That is another $9.95.

It says on the review that you can upload this software onto 10PCs, but in the user agreement it says 3PCs. Does anyone know why?

Also, I just went to the order screen and it made me pay $40 instead of the $30 listed here..
