Intro
Not a formal knowledge or based on true definition, i just write out this post to let you who don,t really understand what is driver and how to find your own driver. This due to high search that resulting user can't find proper driver for thier computers.
Why Computers need driver?
driver is essential to connect your system and hardware. Basically i will define a computer is combinations of hardware and software.
hardaware - is something that you can touch like monitors, cpu, mouse, keyboard and etc.
software - is something that you can't touch such as windows xp(operating system, simplified as OS), microsoft office suite, adobe photoshop, nero and etc.
A computer need both hardware and software to connect to each other so it can works properly.
As a computer hardware combined and became a comlet set of computer, it need an OS tthat is operating system, such as windows Xp, Vista, and etc.
After you have the opertaing system installed on your mchine, you need driver to conect between the operating system such as audio (sound chipset and speakers), keyboard, graphics and etc.
How to find the proper driver.
The key to find the proper and right driver is based on this aspect:
1. Operating system:
If Microsft operating system you should know weather it is windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 or the other OS such as Windows Me and etc. Then suppose you have windows Xp you should know weather it is 32-bit or 64-bits. after that you need to find the appropiate model.
2. Specific model number + OS
Weather you choose to find a single driver (audio, webcam etc) or complete set you need to identify the specific model number or product. such as
Gigh definition Audio codec=device type,
v.3.2.2.1= specific model/product number
Windows Xp = OS (sometimes you dont need to enter 32-bits because they will inform for 32-bits or 62-bits)
for the complete set:
specific model+ OS =
compaq presario =model
CQ40-406 = specific which you can find at the bottom of the laptop od elsewhere, they should have that on any laptop produced.
Windows Xp = OS (sometimes you dont need to enter 32-bits because they will inform for 32-bits or 62-bits)
so thats all anything else you need to know just leave your comments and i try to share what i know, besides i would like to learn more if any of you know more about this topics. Gud luck
