A few things: • The installed and portable versions can both be used from a computer without an internet connection (like if Windows can't recognize your network driver). Device Doctor will save a .html file you can open on a computer that has a connection and you can save the drivers from there. • The portable version is slightly different from the "installed bundle" version. The interface looks the exact same but the installed version enumerates the devices it finds with registry keys (ex: {4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}). Both of them found the same number of drivers for my system (25) and from what I can tell they're all the same drivers. This might be useful if you'd rather write down identifying information than transfer an HTML file on a USB stick. Device Doctor isn't perfect but if you're having problems nailing down the right drivers it's always worth a shot. It's rare to see legitimate direct download driver scans -- many driver programs work like little more than advertisements.
