restored reboot the receiver (power off/on).

Click the "Upload New Driver" button to download and install the latest driver from the internet to your receiver.
You'll need to allow VuCC internet access in your firewall to enable it to download the current list of drivers.
You have a choice of "Current Stable Drivers" and "Beta Drivers"
Select the receiver type you'd like to update, example: Vu+ Duo
Select either "Current Stable Drivers" or "Beta Drivers"
You'll now see a list of all the drivers ever released for that model of receiver.
Select the latest driver (latest driver is at the top of the list)
Click the "Install Selected Driver" Button.
When you see the messagebox to say it's completed, reboot the receiver (power off/on).
Remember always make a backup before attempting to install a new driver in case the new driver isn't compatible
with your current image.

Troubleshooting Driver Manager:
If the receiver sticks at the bootup screen after installing a new driver then the new driver isn't compatible with your current image.
Simply restore your backup driver and reboot the receiver again (power off/on).
