Device Doctor 1.0.0.1

Device Doctor is a system maintenance tool for your hardware. The application creates a list of the hardware devices that you have installed on your computer and then acquires a version number for the software drivers of said devices. When you start a scan, Device Doctor searches in the Internet to see if any new versions for your drivers have been released. If so, it will list all the devices that need updating. For each device, it will show a "download button" and it will display the device information next to it, with some sort of identification number. When you click the button to start an update, you are taken to Device Doctor's website, where a link to the updated driver is provided. You also get the file's size in there. This is the application's way of staying free, I take it, because you get a different ad every time you have to download something and a nice "donate" button. I found that Device Doctor was accurate enough under Windows XP, but there have been some reports of inaccuracy in Windows 7, which is to be expected with such a recent new OS. Although Device Doctor does not download anything for you, which I would love it to, it points you in the right direction. And it eliminates a couple of steps in device identification processes.
