October 29, 2010 at 13:57New version of DriverPack Solution
Dear Colleagues!
We are pleased to announce the release of a new version of the program for installing DriverPack Solution 10.6 drivers!
In the process of working on the new version, we identified two areas: the first is the improvement of the program itself, the second is the development of Web services (website: drp.su and service: devid.drp.su ). Our goal is to collect all the drivers in one place.
Notebook catalog
When developing the new version, we paid more attention to the wishes of our users. Thanks to this, a new service has appeared that allows laptop owners to download drivers specifically for their model. Due to the fact that it is not always possible to find drivers for new or obsolete operating systems on manufacturers' websites ( i.e. when migrating to Windows 7 or Windows XP ), our service is designed to solve this problem.
The analysis of the most popular laptop models was carried out , information about the types of equipment was collected, for the configuration of which users most often turn to our website. To date, the driver database supports more than 6500 laptop models and it is constantly updated.
Based on this base was created "Notebook catalog »: drp.su/drivers/notebooks/?l=en
The principle of operation of the "Catalog of laptops"
On the main page of the catalog are the main laptop manufacturers ( Asus, Acer, Sony, Samsung, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Fujitsu-Siemens, DELL, eMachines, MSI ... ). The first step the user finds the manufacturer of his laptop, the second opens a page with models related only to him. At the final stage, it remains to choose the model of interest, after which a page with a list of drivers and a description of the laptop will open.
We are on target! You immediately see which drivers are necessary for the selected model, and for greater convenience, the drivers are distributed by type of device ( sound card, video card, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, modem, webcam, etc. ), all you have to do is not hesitate to click on the link " Download»Opposite the selected one - and the necessary driver is already on your computer!
And if you click on the name of your computer from the DriverPack Solution program itself, then the " Notebook Catalog " page with a list of your drivers will open in the browser :
Driver catalog
When you get acquainted with the program, many users are scared by its volume ( 2.4GB ) and the inability to see the contents before full download. Solving this problem, we have compiled a “ Driver Catalog ”. Now everyone has the opportunity to get acquainted with the contents of the driver database easily and simply directly from the program website.
Drivers catalog : drp.su/drivers/10/?ru
Search Tips and AutoDownload
We strive to simplify and speed up the search for any driver. To do this, on all pages of the site installed " smart search ". Start typing the name of your computer or device in the search bar and the system will display hints! With AutoDownload - Now Less! When choosing the right device, the service will automatically select the most suitable driver and immediately start downloading it. The AutoDownload function works both in the search hints on the site and in the DriverPack Solution program itself .
What's new in DriverPack Solution 10.6?
The changes affected the program itself. I will describe the main ones.
Due to the decrease in the volume of the driver database, we were able to increase the speed of the program launch and improve the stability of its work. We removed all duplicate drivers from the program, as well as causing driver problems. Despite the fact that the size has decreased, the number of supported devices has increased.
To improve stability, we took care of creating Windows restore control points. Before each operation with drivers, the program makes backup copies of system files. Due to this, even if there are problems with the new drivers, you will have the opportunity to roll back the system through the " Safe Mode ".
The interface has been significantly improved in the new version of the program. We tried to remove the excess. The most frequently used functions are now concentrated in the InfoBar window .
