To make sure the drivers in our database are stable enough for most computers, we have more strict rules to filter drivers, which takes us longer time to test. That's why sometimes we are slower to display the outdated drivers, and sometimes we won't even show those that may cause serious PC problems. If you are sure that there is any driver Driver Booster is missing, we'd like to manually double check the driver for our PRO USERS, after the following information is provided to our email address dbfeedback@iobit.com: 1. What is the missing driver’s name? (The screenshot of the scan result of other driver update tools or related information in Device Manager will be helpful) 2. What is the driver date and driver version of the missing driver 3. Click here to download our tool >> double click to run this tool >> click 'Save report to Desktop' >> find db_info_YYYYMMDD_i.zip on your desktop >> send the zip file.
When you boot your computer for the first time after updating drivers, the system has to load the new drivers which consume large amounts of computer performance, so the computer is slow. But it will be back to normal when you reboot later. Otherwise you can contact us via email address dbfeedback@iobit.com.
When a new graphics driver is being installed, its running parameter may get adjusted or even reset. So black, flickering or shrinking screen happens. Please do not worry or operate wrongly like forcing shutdown. Your screen will go back to normal once the update is finished or the computer is rebooted. If no, please contact us via dbfeedback@iobit.com.
Please send your feedback directly to dbfeedback@iobit.com and our Technical Support Team will contact you soon.
