    No problems here with their site and I've just downloaded Drivermax.exe (redirect to download.com).

    Hi.

    Actually i meant is the driver update server working! , you can download the Application but do you get results when you check for new drivers.

    Hi.

    I have been using it for a couple of years.

    Maybe they have not payed the bill for the server?

    AFAIK, it hasn't been working for a *long* time now.. I remember I tried few months back and it has been like this since then. It was a great program when it was working fine, and I still remember when I updated the driver' on my desktop. Worked like a charm.
