I was in a computer superstore yesterday and went crazy buying things, I spent way to much money for my budget, and I now I am looking to bring some things back. On the top of the list are two software utilities one is Driver Genius I don't know what version I have (it has no version number on box) cause I refuse to open the box due to my anticipated refund, but they are up to version 10 now
http://www.avanqueststore.com/driver-genius-professional.html but after further looking at there revision history here
http://www.driver-soft.com/download.html I question this product and I think I am just going to return it.
Next there is Registry Mechanic 2011, now this I know the version of, my question is are these utilities any good and worth keeping?
I'm definitely not a fan of Driver Genius -- while it can indeed help find updated drivers; it also sometimes recommends incorrect drivers that can really "hose" a system. It's far better to find the drivers you need online at the manufacturer's site and/or with help from a reputable help site [such as Experts Exchange :-) ].
As for Registry Mechanic -- you really don't need a registry modification/cleaning tool ... and if you DO want one there are better choices.
