Before updating the device drivers, it is necessary to understand what a driver is. A device driver is a file in the computer system that controls and holds all the information of both internal and external devices that are attached to the computer. These include the modem, printer, scanner and disk drives. These are used to help the computer communicate with the different devices attached to it.
For Windows version such as 95, 98, ME, Vista, XP and NT, drivers are built in already and will be automatically installed in the system if the driver is already stored in the Window driver library. Most computers don’t recognize new devices that are attached to the computer so it needs to be installed either from a disk or via the Internet.

Some also offered CD’s that contains the drivers but it is always better to get it from the manufacturer of the device.

For devices that are attached inside the computer, this can be found in the Control Panel then under the System tab and then the Device Manager.
Third step, once you have the device name and the correct driver from the manufacturer’s Web site, it will automatically prompt you to run and download the file and save it in the computer system.
Fourth step, after the driver is downloaded and saved into the computer disk, here comes the actual part of updating the driver. Just go to the Control Panel, under the System tab select the Device Manager Tab. Find and select the device you want to update. Click the plus sign next to the categories; click on the Properties and them the Driver Tab.
Last step, click on the Update Driver button and choose the Display a list of drivers and choose Have a Disk options. The system will automatically update the appropriate driver. Just wait until the installation process is successfully done and finally reboot your machine so that the new device will take effect.
