Ok, routed my connection past my router and this way, it loads up fine. Now I have to figure out if it's router's fault or the way how my ISP configured the connection specifically for my needs...

EDIT:
Connected it the old way again and now it's working. w00t?! Probably because it launched fine once and now it works...

i did say i use it for legacy PC's (Retro Systems )
download the ISO's they are good for offline updating of retro systems where OEM Drivers may no longer Available

You Asked if it still work's it Does O/S does not MATTER
Fired up a legacy Build (XP-pro and AGP)

For non legacy Stuff like Windows 10 you Go to the OEM SITE for Drivers and only use DPS if your trying to install legacy equipment where there are no win 10 drivers
under those circumstances it may find a driver that MAY WORK

I'm back to DriverPack now that I've got it working again. SDI is not cool, failing to install drivers on my HP X2, installing them on my X99 made everything feel laggy for some reason. And it's just so clumsy. But with DriverPack, everything works snappy.

I've used DriverPack updater several times few weeks ago and now it just doesn't work anymore. Opens up and gets stuck at grey page with "DriverPack Solution" logo in the middle and stays there forever. What the hell? The updater is excellent because it finds tons of drivers, but this is so stupid and I can't figure it out. They have no contacts, their Twitter ac. never responded and their forums are in fringing Russian.

https://drp.su

I don't get it why it's not working anymore.
drp.su is definitely NOT crap ware, though I know why those who haven't used it would believe so.

It's been a very convenient way to find otherwise hard-to-find-drivers and it's been working very well for me for years now. You must run it in expert mode and simply un-select all of the software it would otherwise default for installation in automatic mode, -- then manually select the drivers you need / want.

I have also noticed for the last few months that on-line / web version of the installer gets to 99% on the driver installation cycle and then hangs up. I've tried it on Windows 7, windows XP and Windows 10 so the problem is not system specific. There's been development all along and recently it's become progressively problematic.

Note that there is an offline version of the installer that works fine so if you didn't know about that you may want to try that instead. It can (or could) be downloaded via torrent or directly from drp.su.

It may be necro, but it's still relevant, especially since there are so many dodgy driver sites out there. Some sites even ask for payment and others insist on 'other' rubbish to be downloaded, which is a definite no-no. I always go to the manufacturer first, but with many older laptops, LAN drivers for example, can give you numerous driver choices (Realtek, Intel etc), whereas PC motherboard drivers can be less complicated.
I've tried most of them over the years and am glad of the two suggestions mentioned here, since some laptops in particular can be very difficult to get up and running.
Slim Drivers is what I've been falling back on most recently, but I'll definitely give these two a try.
