Whenever I reformat a computer, the one thing that I do (but really don’t like) is make sure that I have all of my device drivers backed so that after I reinstall Windows, all I have to do is install the drivers one by one.
With DriverMax, it promises to make this task a lot easier. Just export the drivers, reinstall Windows, and import the drivers to the new system. I hope that this program makes this task smoother. I plan to use it soon so I’ll keep you posted!

I went to AdWords to check up on a few campaigns and got this nastyness:

Please contact the server administrator, services-admin@google.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Looks like some server is being a bad boy!
