It's sad that so many users have an expectation that they have a right to expect everything for nothing just because it's the internet and not a local computer shop. It costs us money to serve the files, to pay the staff to upload the files, to develop the site. And revenue from ad banners/etc. have fallen so much that they no longer cover much of our expenses. It was either take our archive offline or support a mixed revenue model, with lots of free content, premium memberships, and alternative ad options. Bill, it is sad.

We have search forms on the top of every single page and a big search box on the home page. You don't need to use our scanner if you don't want. Peter, not sure what you mean.

Buy a membership and we'll be only too glad to remove all ads and give you direct links to files!

I just fixed the issue! You can just re-run the download file you already have and it'll fetch the new .Net support file. PhilT, so sorry about that! I just fixed the issue!

It doesn't happen on any of my test machines. Here is a link to a document about how to uninstall it, given the problem. <a href="http://members.driverguide.com/index.php?action=doc&page=dgx__docs__manual_uninstall " rel="nofollow">Uninstall instructions for DriverScan 2012</a>. Let me know if you have any trouble, and again so sorry it gave you the permission error. Robert, sorry for the uninstall problem, I’m trying to figure out what is causing it.

It's freaking awesome. This is the ONLY PLACE LEFT ON THE INTERNET where you can download a SmartDisk VideoSafe driver (called CameramateRTVDrivers.zip). It's been pissing me off for about 3 days now, not being able to find it, then I came here not expecting much, yet you put out more than I thought you guys would. Thanks a bunch! I will definitly be coming here for my drivers from NOW ON! I love your guys’ website. It’s freaking awesome.
