OK, everyone, you know I'm as dumb as a brick.
How do I get a refund from the fine folks at 'Driver Detective'? This all started when I discovered that my printer did not have the correct drivers to scan once I updated to IE7. I don't scan often so I probably have been without this capability for months. I searched for a way to update the drivers and could not find it on the HP site. (I since have). I had downloaded the Driver Detective to see if they had what I needed. The sign in/registration process offended me so much, I deleted the program. They had already charged my PayPal account(plus I was charged a currency conversion fee). I e-mailed them on April 3, the same day I downloaded it and asked for for a refund, which they said initially was an option. I cannot get them to respond to me. I have sent several e-mails and have received no reply. Anyone have an address that will reach a real person there?

Thanks, PR

1. Did you use the HP diagnostic tool to search for the correct driver? LINK:

ETA: Oops, I see you probably have: "...could not find it on the HP site. (I since have)."

Good luck w/ the refund, I fear you are SOL there. I found a review here http://www.techpin.com/driver-detective-review-the-truth/

"Driver Detective Review - The Truth" that includes a statement from the president (supposedly) of Driver Headquarters, along with an e-mail address.
