I have clicked yes several times but the popup keeps showing up every time. Driver booster is not set to any compatibility mode. Any help appreciated. Latest version of driver booster (2. whatever) pro on windows 8.1 64 bit system.
The problem is I CANNOT get Driver Booster to Open for the life of me, it just will not open, no matter what i do, even if i try to launch it from Advanced System-care 7, it worked fine on all the Beta Versions, then when i got V 1.1 it worked for about 3 Days and never opened again, yes i have Tried Re-installing, i did 3 times, and even used IOBIT Uninstaller 3 to check for leftover files, and re-installed 3 times, i even uninstalled and tried re-downloading it from System-care 7 and still nothing, some needed information that may be needed is that it stopped working 3 days after i factory default restored my computer, my Windows is Windows 7 64Bit Home Premium, its not completely urgent for me since i checked for updates on my drivers a few days ago, and i'm pretty sure they might still be fully updated, but would be nice to check again, because i really don't like searching for updates for drivers myself, its a real pain, that's why i'm glad for this program, just wish i could get it open again, it gives me no errors or messages and every time i uninstalled and re-installed still no messages or errors the process doesn't even show up in the task manager, or if it does its only for a split second and too fast for me to see so i don't have any errors or messages to go by.
After using Driver Booster with success for some time, it now will not start, either from the ASC 7.1 interface or directly from the driver booster short cut. I have tried uninstalling driver booster and downloading it again and to install it again, and it did not help.
I am not running a virus checker at the moment; I turned off windows firewall to check if that was the problem. I have Microsoft Security Essentials but I do not have real time protection turned on. I also have the iobit Malware checker, but again I don't run it in real time (I do sweeps regularly with both of the above). No luck so far. Any other ideas?
Driver Booster is a program designed to update all the drivers for audio, video, USB or other devices on your PC that have become obsolete and that may adversely affect the performance of your computer or cause system errors. This tool lets you search for and identify outdated drivers, and will automatically download the updates you are missing.
This application will also protect your computer from hardware failures, conflicts and system crashes. It is quite simple to use and operates automatically, making it an excellent solution that will help you ensure that your system functions properly.
In addition, this utility is notable for its 'Game Mode' setting, which optimizes drivers to improve their performance in games in order to enhance your gaming experience. Driver Booster is a fast and safe tool that does not use up too many of your PCs resources, so it does not interfere with the performance of other tasks.
Dogshit program! It will install corrupted drivers and cause your Windows to have problems, such as random blue screens and stop errors. Don't use this program if you don't want to get forced to reins...

"One scan a day keeps outdated drivers away. Instead of looking individually for drives updates; just one click on Driver Booster can keep all of my PC's drivers up-to-date! Driver Booster improved my gaming experience especially when it comes to demanding games that needs the latest updates. IObit products showed me the true capability of my PC".
"I was having all sorts of problems with my laptop, finally realizing that it was caused by the drivers. Despite going through all the channels my laptop brand provides I was still having problems. One click of Driver Booster and it found 17 (long) outdated drivers and fixed them just as quickly. My driver problems have disappeared and my laptop is running much better! I will use no other program for my driver needs."
I have nearly a dozen paid Pro licenses for about 4 of my computers. I have one old WinXPpro, SP3, Pentium 4 clone, 4gb RAM, 500gb HD, 3.5ghz, 32 bit processor. I wanted to run the Driver Booster 7 FREE version on it as I may not be keeping the machine much longer. The install of Driver Booster 7 free went smooth although the Install seemed to freeze on the screen which said installed 100%. I waited but then "X"ed the Installation page and it went directly to the Run SCAN screen. I clicked to start SCAN. It gets to 4% of the scan and HANGS there indefinately. I uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it but it did same thing -- HANGs at 4% on the Driver Scan. I did not find any specific answers on FAQ page but saw someone who had program HANG at 99% every time. It was back in 2015 and no one replied to his POST. Hope someone has a possible answer for me. I have an IObit Application Information Helper V7.0.0.7 which was recommended by IObit to someone having a problem with HANGs during Install of the program. Could upload it if somebody can use it. Thanks
I have a similar problem, but it starts hanging at about 97%, and starts scanning the same devices over and over for several minutes. Then it finally gets to 100%, and continues to scan the same devices. This used to happen with Driver Booster 6. Had hoped it would be eliminated in 7, but same old behavior.
For the scan failure, please download >> double click to run this tool on the problem PC >> click 'Save report to Desktop' >>find db_info_xxxx.zip on your desktop >> send the zip file to dbfee...@iobit.com. Or just use the program built-in Feedback to contact us. We will look into this problem and get back to you.

Not going to bother, Cicely. That's the same thing you told me to do with the previous version. I did what you said, and that was the end of it: No solutions offered, not even an intelligent reply. Won't waste my time. This "hanging" is obviously a problem for a number of people, and iobit doesn't seem motivated to do anything about it.
To BillC regarding Driver Booster "hangs" during scan. I am a new user and indeed have encountered the same problem but my Driver Booster scan "Hangs" at 4%. I let it set for hours hoping it would complete. Rebooted system few times. Did system clean with Advanced System Care. Pretty much given up on hope. The moderator, Cicely, contacted me and asked me to download and run the I was in the process of trying to get a copy of the download onto a DVD or a Flash Drive and install it on the problem machine but was side tracked by some other computer headaches (I have 4 desktops, 1 laptop and 2 cheap Fire pads). Anyway I decided to RUN the Driver Booster 7 on the problem machine before I installed the DBinfoHelper.exe on it, thinking if I ran the Helper "while" the Driver Booster 7 was running and in its "Hang" state the Helper software might note some problems for Cicely to take note of once I sent the results to him. So, to get to my point, once the Driver Booster 7 was in the "HANG" state, I "Minimized" the screen so I could Run the Helper.exe program, and WOW, there pops up the "Driver Booster 7 - Scan Results screen!!!
It needed 14 updated drivers in fact. Minimizing the HANG screen made it proceed to the results every time. I did it a couple of other times. It hangs even though it now does not need drivers but proceeds to the results screen once I minimize it. Hope this works for you. And to Cicely, I will complete the task of running the Helper.exe program for you and send it to you later today, hoping it may help you identify this problem. For information, the computer with the "Hang" scan was a WinXP pro, SP3, 3.0 ghz, Intel P4 Processor, 500 gb HD, 4gb RAM. Good luck BillC. Getting Drivers updated solved a lot of other problems I must add, and the Driver Booster 7 program found 14 missing drivers. I tried an alternative Driver update program and it found "Nothing" needing update driver, so I guess IObit Driver Update 7 would get a high score from me anyway. Other computers using it did not have the Hang issue (they were Win7, and 2 Win10 systems). Glenn T.
