    Driver issues after using Driver Booster 2


    I used Driver Booster 2 last night after seeing that it got the update to v2.0, so ran it and saw that my drivers were out of date. I let it update them and ever since this I've been having issues getting these drivers to work properly again. System restore doesn't go back far enough, reinstalling the drivers hasn't solved the problem, no windows updates did anything, and I've restarted my computer several times.

    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.140303-2144)
    Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
    System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
    System Model: Inspiron 620
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
    Memory: 6144MB RAM
    Windows Dir: C:\Windows
    DirectX Version: DirectX 11
    DxDiag Version: 6.01.7601.17514 32bit Unicode
    DxDiag Previously: Crashed in DirectShow (stage 1)

    Hi

    I would suggest not using any third party driver updates best to update them from the manufacturer. So reinstall all drivers from Dell support site

    After this, I won't be touching these kinds of programs with a ten foot pole. I'll update you on how that goes.

    +1!!

    All people do when they use System Optimizers and the like, is screw up everything.

    Of course, if they would simply make a backup image, they would be up and running in minutes.

    Yeah, it's really sad but I didn't think it'd cause such an issue. Definitely going to be more careful in the future.
