We have all heard of
device drivers. But do we know what are these drivers and how do they work?
Well, in computing terms, a device driver is a computer program that allows
higher-level computer programs and applications to interact with a hardware
device e.g. the mouse, keyboard, video board, monitor etc.
But how do they interact
with the hardware devices? The driver typically communicates with the hardware
device through the computer bus. Without going into the details, we can say
that you need to install device driver programs into your computer to get full
throughput and utilization of your system.
If you own a laptop, then you might be aware of the driver
softwares it required to run the operating system functionalities well. Drivers
for performing various tasks improve performance of your computer and give you
convenient use of all resources in your computer. Have you recently purchased a
laptop and having problem getting the drivers for it? You may have searched the
net for your laptop drivers and got frustrated when you have found nothing
useful to you. May be you have downloaded some drivers those which are not
compatible with your laptop model. If you search for drivers in the official
website of your brand, you may get some drivers there but you may not get all
device drivers that your machine needs to have installed say graphics solutions
as an example. So how will you find it and where? Searching for only device
drivers and getting it for the right device and right version is not so easy.
When I purchased my first HP laptop, I faced the same problem. The seller told
me that they will not give me any device driver CD bundled with my laptop,
because it was a DOS version and no other operating system was preinstalled on
it. When I installed Windows 7 on it, I had to search for the device drivers
like audio device and graphics drivers. But hardly got a solution in the
official HP website. I got some driver softwares which did not run on my
machine. So I tried for alternative solutions and I got one. Here is a simple
solution to your needs. I will show you step by step how can get drivers for
your Notebook in a single place. You will be able to get regular update to your
PC drivers after following these steps.
1.
Connect to the internet and download Slim Drivers from Slim Ware utilities website.
This is freeware software and you will have to pay nothing to obtain a copy of
this.
You can download the software by clicking here.
2.
After downloading, run the setup file and
install the software. You may need to be connected to the internet becauseit
might need to download latest update of the software version.
3.
After installing the slim Driver software by
following the installation instructions, reboot your computer and run Slim
Drivers. It should look like following.
4.
Click on “Start Scan” to scan for missing and
broken drivers in your computer. The available driver update for all devices in
your computer will be displayed. Select one by one to install driver. It is
recommended that you create a restore point to your system before installing
the driver. You will need to check for driver updates periodically to get the
latest updates to your drivers.
After installing Slim Drivers, you need not to download and
install all device drivers manually, just Start Scanning your PC with Slim
Drivers and it will tell you what device drivers you need to install. After
clicking install on specific Driver software, it will automatically download
the software for you from the best known source. After getting it downloaded,
you just need to follow the installation instruction of the driver.
There are other softwares too in the market for this purpose
which works similar to Slim Drivers, but you may not get one without cost. You
have to purchase one. So my recommendation is that use Slim Drivers which is
freely available software. All you need is an account with Slim Ware utilities.
