Driver easy free download Archives

DriverEasy Professional updates and maintains your Windows PC's drivers automatically with a few easy steps. It scans your PC for out-of-date, missing, and mismatched drivers and downloads and installs up-to-date versions safely, thanks to automatic restore points and driver backups. You can schedule scans, install drivers one by one or all at once, remove drivers, and more.

Pros

Cheaper than service: For technophobes, DriverEasy is cheaper than a computer technician's hourly rate, and maybe less intimidating, too!

Unplugged devices: DriverEasy can update drivers for devices that may be part of your system but aren't plugged in at the time, like phones and removable drives.

Driver Backup and Driver Restore: The Driver Backup tool creates custom driver backup files that can be saved in folders or ZIP files. The Driver Restore tool uses them to roll back changes, if necessary.

Cons

Out-of-date drivers: A common complaint about driver update utilities is the occasional out-of-date driver, which can happen with a database of more than 3 million drivers (and for reasons beyond the software's scope or control). We recommend always creating restore points and backing up existing drivers in any case.

Bottom Line

Users who don't want to do their own PC maintenance still want to keep their systems clean, safe, and up-to-date. DriverEasy Professional can contribute to that mission for a lot less than a computer tech would charge, simply to look at your PC.

What is Easy 7-Zip?

Briefly speaking, Easy 7-Zip is an easy-to-use version of 7-Zip. Originally, Easy 7-Zip was built based on 7-Zip 9.20. I kept all features of 7-Zip and added a few useful features that makes the software more user-friendly. Recently, 7-Zip upgraded to 16.04. So, I moved codes to the version.

7-Zip is a free and great file decompression and compression software that handles 7z, AR, ARJ, BZIP2, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, EXT, FAT, GPT, GZIP, HFS, IHEX, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, QCOW2, RAR, RAR5, RPM, SquashFS, TAR, UDF, UEFI, VDI, VHD, VMDK, WIM, XAR, XZ, Z, ZIP, and ZIPX archives. 7-Zip was developed by Igor Pavlov.

Why did I make Easy 7-Zip?

7-Zip is a great file archive freeware. I love the software very much. Thank Igor Pavlov! However, when I used the 7-Zip frequently, I thought the software could be better. So, I downloaded source code of 7-Zip and, studied and modified the code in my leisure time, and made the Easy 7-Zip. I hope the Easy 7-Zip is useful for everybody.

What features were added to Easy 7-Zip?

1. Adds icons to context menu

* Note: just for 7-Zip 9.20. The latest version (16.04) of 7-Zip has added the feature.

When I was using WinZip or WinRAR, I can easily find menu items of WinZip or WinRAR in context menu of Explorer. As there are icons with the menu items. However, 7-Zip doesn't offer the feature. So I decided to add the feature first. When it's done, the context menu looks like the following screen shots.

2. Adds options to Extract dialog

I added 4 features to the extract dialog in 7-Zip File Manager.

1. Button "Open": Easy 7-Zip will open output folder when clicking on the button. So you can easily view files or directories in the folder by a click.
2. Button "Filename": When the button is clicked, Easy 7-Zip adds file name to end of output folder so that the program will create folder of file name and extract files to the folder. For example, file name is sample.7z, output folder is D:\Output, when clicking the button, the output folder will be D:\Output\sample, and all files will be outputted to the folder.
3. Show free and total space of output drive. It's useful for large file.
4. Options "After extraction completes successfully":
• Open output folder: If the option is checked, Easy 7-Zip opens output folder after extraction. So that you can locate to the output files easily.
• Delete source archive: Delete source archive after extraction completes successfully. If any errors happen while extracting, for example, wrong password, the Easy 7-Zip won't delete the source archive.
• Close 7-Zip: Close 7-Zip after extraction.

Extract dialog of context menu was changed to something like screen shot below.

3. Keeps same output folder history

7-Zip uses separated output folder history for extract dialog of 7-Zip File Manager and context menu. However, we probably use either way to extract file and we can't find output folder history of another. I made Easy 7-Zip uses same output folder history for the both extract dialogs and extends number of output folder history up to 30.

4. Minimizes to system tray when clicking "Background" on progress dialog

It's something like the 7-Zip does nothing when clicking on "Background" in original 7-Zip. Actually the 7-Zip sets progress priority of itself to idle. So user could do other things without performance loss on the same computer. However, it could be better if the 7-Zip minizes to system tray when background working. I got the feature possible in Easy 7-Zip. The program shows progress in system tray as well.

I also added percent of progress to the dialog, although the percent shows in title of the dialog. As I don't get used to see the percent in dialog title.

If you can't find the icon in system tray area, it probably was hidden by Windows. Please click a little triangle in system tray area and, you will get the icon.

5. Makes a new installation file

I made a package of Easy 7-Zip that contains both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) editions. In other word, the package installs x86 (32-bit) edition of Easy 7-Zip on 32-bit Windows and x64 (64-bit) edition on 64-bit Windows automatically. The package also allows user to associate 7-Zip with file extensions including 001, 7z, arj, bz2, bzip2, cab, cpio, deb, dmg, fat, gz, gzip, hfs, iso, lha, lzh, lzma, ntfs, rar, rpm, squashfs, swm, tar, taz, tbz2, tbz, tgz, tpz, txz, vhd, wim, xar, xz, z, and zip.

6. Other user interface improvement

Why is Easy 7-Zip larger than 7-Zip?

1. Package of Easy 7-Zip contains both x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) editions of EXE and DLL files.
2. 7-Zip was compiled with MS Visual C++ 6.0. However, I compiled the Easy 7-Zip with MS Visual C++ 2008. The later generates larger file than the former. And, I optimized Easy 7-Zip with maximize speed instead of minimize size and, enabled whole program optimization that will generate more efficient code.

DriverEasy is a tool that automatically scans your computer for missing drivers and downloads updates through the program interface.

Device drivers are programs that allow your computer, your operating system, and your hardware devices to communicate. For example, device drivers are needed in order to use sound cards, modems, wireless cards, printers, monitors, and virtually every other piece of hardware attached to your computer's motherboard. There are generic drivers that are often included with Windows and can allow devices to work, but many times functionality is limited or even nonexistent. One option is to download drivers for your hardware one by one. However, this can be time-consuming and technical. If you do not have a certain amount of technical knowledge, finding the right device drivers may be difficult.

DriverEasy is designed to remedy that by automatically detecting unknown device drivers and keeping them up-to-date. DriverEasy contains a database of over 1,000,000 drivers and is updated on a daily basis. It is free for personal use and is available for Windows in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

To use the program, download the executable file and follow the installation instructions. When you run the program, click the big green button labelled "Scan Now," and wait while DriverEasy scans your hardware and finds the appropriate drivers. It will list all unknown and obsolete drivers. When you push "Get Drivers," the program will download and update your drivers.

DriverEasy is extremely easy to use, and will keep your system up-to-date for free. However, a paid version offers additional functions not included in this version. The premium version of DriverEasy also allows users to backup, restore, and uninstall drivers from within the program. It also allows you to create restore points in case downloaded drivers do not work properly. Technical support and a multi-language interface are also not part of the free version.

Pros

Free, easy-to-use, and automatically updated

One-click install and one-click download

Large database of drivers

Cons

Backup and restoration of old drivers not included in free version

Lesser known devices or hardware configurations may not work
