Really? I guess I didn’t have that email anymore.

I’m sure it could, but it is more of a question whether the XP drivers are the same for Windows 2003. I’m guessing they are not.

Wow, your memory is better than mine! I didn’t remember this program at all, but now it prominently sits in my bookmarks. I wonder if this is the first time that I wrote about something twice. :?

Yes, it's working. I had to reinstall Win on some computers without any CD for drivers. You have 2 options: let Win to use autodetection than solve with DriverMax only the unkown drivers (if there are any); or use DriverMax for everything. I would recommend first way, since it may detect new versions for drivers. If you want to be fast, use the second way. It worked for me with no problem every time. I recommend to use DriverMax together with Genie Backup Manager Pro. Yep, this is expensive but it's free for 30days, and you only need it one day: to make a backup and than to restore. What? Is a long list: it can make a backup and restore for My Documents, Emails (with Rules, Accounts, Contacts), Internet settings, Favorites, Fonts, Desktop files (even Registry! why would you restore that?). With DriverMax and Genie Backup Manager Pro you can be sure that you will have your computer back, working faster after the Win reinstall.
