I am sure all computer technicians have to face with reinstalling Windows very often. After installing Windows, the nightmare starts when Windows don’t have generic drivers for a hardware. You need to identify the brand and model of the hardware and sometimes you even need to look for drivers using another computer when the owner of the computer says that he/she doesn’t have any driver CDs. To solve this problem, I’ve previously written an article on making a CD with all current drivers using DriverPacks but it only has drivers for Windows XP.

I’ve stopped using them for a while because I wasn’t happy with them. I written an article to promote their software and sent visitors to their site. In return of that, they threaten me with lawsuits saying that I can’t post screenshots of their software and I can’t use the word DriverPacks accusing that I stole their keywords. Obviously their attempt failed because their request is absurd. Think about this, they allow people to download and use DriverPacks for free but nobody can’t take screenshot and use the word “DriverPacks” on blogs. Where’s the logic in that?

Let’s forget about DriverPacks because I found a better one called DriverPack Solution 9 Professional.

DriverPack Solution 9 Professional is the most popular Russian program to automatically install drivers. It simplifies the process of reinstalling Windows on virtually any computer. Now you will be free from the problems of finding and installing drivers. The latest version even supports Windows Vista and Windows 7.

There are 2 versions of DriverPack Solution 9, the home and professional. Both versions are free and professional version offers slightly more features which is downloading from fast server, support for Windows 7 and loads missing drivers from the Internet. To get the Professional download link, you’ll need to sign up, get your personalized link and then get 5 different people to click on the link. Then the password to open the download page for Professional version will be sent to your email. To simplify this process, you can use a list of web proxies to open the link.

At the time of writing, this is the page and password to download the Professional version of DriverPack Solution 9. If it doesn’t work, you will need to go through the steps above. I will also try to update the details whenever I can.

The file size of the Professional version is about 1GB. After finished downloading, extract and you can burn it to a DVD. Simply run start.cmd to launch the program. It will then automatically scans for any drivers that requires to be installed. When found, check the drivers that needs to be installed and click Run. By default the interface of the program is in Russian but you can change it to English. Find the dropdown box like the image below and select the second one on the list which will turn the program’s interface into English.

DriverPack Solution 9 Professional is really good and useful but I still didn’t like the fact that it hijacks Internet Explorer’s default website and change it to start.drp.su. I find this action intrusive like what normally spyware does as it didn’t prompt me if I’d like to change my IE’s default webpage.
