Need details on Windows drivers

Original title: drivers

That said it is Microsoft Certified, is it good or what?     Windows 7 Driver Downloads

On Windows 7 drivers:
This page talks about Windows 7 drivers and how to identify and download them. This also explains the importance of updating your drivers and some of the challenges with Windows 7 drivers update. Note: You can automatically download Windows 7 drivers by downloading the Driver Update Utility below.

Recommends: Download drivers update utility to identify the Windows 7 drivers missing or obsolete.

Not really sure what you're asking, but Microsoft Certified driver have been tested and is accepted as being compliant and no problems known.

A developer of equipment is not required to submit test pilots, but by default, Windows will block the uncertified driver installation while the earlier version just warn you that they are not tested.

You do not explain what Driver Update Utility you talk, some hardware manufacturers provide a monitoring package that will check that there are no newer drivers available for their device. It's a moot point if it's always a good idea or if you should update only when YOU decide that it is necessary.

What you should avoid always is commercial research of 3rd party driver because they often get it wrong.

  • Bootcamp installs all the Windows drivers?

    Hi, I intend to do Bootcamp on my Mac. I will be installing Windows 7. Before going further, I would like to know if all my Windows drivers will be installed, as they are the last thing I want to worry.

    Windows drivers are installed in two phases. The generic drivers are installed everything first. Apple-specific drivers are installed using the USB flash drive you will create/download help Wizard of BC.

    For detailed steps, see install Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support .

    Please see https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/#/bcmp173b3bf2 as a reference for a BC Assistant guide.

  • Satellite 5105-S501 need control key & latest drivers

    Help.

    I broke my control key and would like to know where I can buy the key for a control.
    Otherwise, the keyboard is ok.

    I would also like to know where I can download drivers for my cd player because it runs but does not read the disc.
    What family is this laptop in? Others?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    George

    Hello

    Satellite 5105-S501 is a laptop computer to the United States.
    That's why you need to search for drivers on the Toshiba page we:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

    On this page you can find the drivers for American books. Satellite 5105-S501 is an oldie and why you must choose the option Show all to display all models of laptops.

    Regarding the broken buttons:
    As far as I know it s not possible to buy only a single button. In most cases, you will need to replace the entire keyboard.
    But for more details, you should certainly ask the Toshiba ASP in your country.

    See you soon

  • Satellite Pro P300-20 q - I need 64-bit XP drivers

    Hello.
    We are dealers Italians.

    We, our customer bought a Satellite Pro P300-20 q PSPCDE-01V003IT, he needs 64-bit Windows XP to work.

    We can not find the drivers for these devices:
    Audio device on High Definition Audio (Conexant) Bus
    (AuthenTec) fingerprint sensor
    (Unknown) mass storage controller
    Device modem on Bus High Definition Audio (Conexant)
    For audio and modem we already tried the driver for XP on site support but not installed and report this error mmdriver.inf found c:\windows\system32\, even if this file is there.

    For the fingerprint sensor package install just the software but not the driver because that missed the file: atswpdrv.sys. The file is not in the package.

    For mass storage controller, none of the files of this laptop corresponds to this device.

    Also: The electric driver for XP for the Alps touchpad in the support site does not work with XP 64-bit.
    Tips for solving these problems?

    Thanks, hope to receive a reply soon because what is urgent.

    I thank once again.

    Have you checked the European Toshiba driver download site?
    Well, I think the case is clear. Support from Toshiba doesn't Windows XP 64 bit on all laptops and Satellite Pro P300 it s the same.
    I think that's bad new for you.

    The only solution is to search on the external Web site or on the site of the factory unit.
    If you n t get all the drivers it s time to install another OS.

    Hello

    the problem is that windows xp is not supported by this machine toshiba. But if you really need XP, you can try the following:

    1. install 'Virtual PC' on your Vista system and then use your XP Vista or

    2. collect since internet pilots. I want to say is: know what material is built into the machine (e.g. Vga is nvidia geforce-> go to www.nvidia.com, chipset intel-> go to www.intel.com and so on) and you have a machine with features limited under XP.

    This is the point, everything's all right to vista. :(

  • GPIB-USB-HS Windows drivers only

    I use a GPIB-USB-HS USB GPIB adapter for laboratory automation and need to install drivers for devices on a certain number of the PC lab.  All I need are windows drivers and eventually DLL managed, although I would rather deploy DLLs and my applications.  All my software automation runs on the CLR and not of labview.

    My question:

    How can I get only the drivers for this device?  The only download that I can find on NI.com ( http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/2129/lang/en ) installs almost 400 MB of software which should really go on my lab PCs.  In addition, the size of the package makes deployment and maintenance a bit unmanageable to me.

    Best regards

    Peter Baughman

    Hi Peter,.

    Unfortunately, there is currently no 'activity' version of the GPIB driver, so the link you provided is the right driver which should be installed on each computer that will run your GPIB software. Without having to install this driver, the GPIB-USB-HS will not be recognized by the client computers.

    Best,

    John M

  • IM told that my windows drivers are not updated. What can I do?

    What are windows drivers?

    Friday, June 1, 2012, 15:27:20 + 0000, pablo fzepeda says:

    What are windows drivers?

    You are told by who? Or what?

    A driver is software that interfaces between the material
    and Windows for printers, scanners, video cards, etc., which have been
    written for this version of Windows.  And also note that you need
    different determinants for a 32-bit version of Windows and a 64-bit
    Version.

    It is the manufacturer of the hardware to write and
    available to download these drivers. Especially if your hardware is
    older, it is quite possible that the manufacturer has decided that it is not
    a value of his time and effort to develop drivers for the hardware that it is
    selling more.
    You say that you need updated drivers, but you should not update a driver
    unless the new driver resolves an issue you encounter or adds a feature
    that you need or want. Update a driver when you do not need a new
    the risk of problems.
