Hi, littleghost!
Unicode is supported in the program, but partially. Not all components implemented. What exactly are you not working? can provide the created language file for testing.

With regard to your wishes to check the existence of a new driver, I do not quite understand what you mean? So the program can check the version of the driver in an existing backup
