Software Drivers are necessary for all aspects of your computer’s operation from sound to wifi to printing. If you are experiencing issues with your PC, the problem may be out-of-date or missing device Drivers. Device manufacturers release Driver updates regularly to enhance the performance of their devices. It is important to keep your Devices updated with the latest Drivers available.
Windows 7 features a “Windows update” utility that updates Drivers for devices in the system. Generally, the device manufacturer presents the buyer with a Driver CD that has Drivers required for the effective functioning of the device. If you don’t have the Driver CD, you can always use the Windows Update utility to update Drivers in Windows 7.
