Hi James, Complete failure of both drives. It started with the primary drive starting to get errors, and Windows prompted me to backup the drive since clearly it was failing. So I backup that drive, and then the same thing happened to the secondary drive, a totally separate drive in the other drive bay. Had to start from scratch with brand new drives. What a nightmare. I figure the Driver Detective simply installed the wrong drivers for both drives and this unbalanced the msomehow, causing them to fail. Never again. Smile

Hi Dave, I lost two hard drives on the same PC using one of those utilities. It was called Driver Detective, and this goes back probably seven or eight years ago. For this reason, I don't recommend these utilities at all.

Hello to the List, I have a Win 7 64 bit system, running Win eyes 8.4. Almost every time I use this system, some time during the usage, I loose Speech. this happens mostly when I am using I.E. 11 and attempting to read a web site. However, the system can loose speech, or Lock up and any time, it doesn't always happen when surfing the web. I have considered upgrading to Win Eyes 9.1, but am still going to wait for a 9.2. I don't want to trade fixes for one problem, and get some new ones. I have done everything I can think of to make this system as clean as possible, trying to not have software conflicts. I thought I would download and use one of those programs that update all Drivers found on the system. There are several of these kinds of programs, and some are probably better than others. Have any of you used one of these programs, and was it read well by Window eyes? If you had good results, and was not over whelmed with Pop Ups and other odd things happening after using such a program, can any of you recommend what worked for you?
