What is the driver package

What is the driver package

A "driver" is basically a software instructions indicating how the operating system
to communicate with a specific hardware.

Motherboards equipped with what we can call a driver package because there are several pilots who settle on a motherboard. This 'package' is called the chipset driver.
The chipset drivers control the functions of the cpu of the North and South of the bridge.
This 'package' includes separated such as Eithernet, Audio, SATA RAID, etc. which can be downloaded separately if there is 'upgraded' new features of these drivers at a later date (btw - the disc comes with a motherboard or graphic card is almost always up to date).
The long history of the chipset drivers is in the link below-

http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/chipset

Graphics drivers are also coming in a 'package' of our days. For example, the Nivida graphics drivers now include the main graphics driver plu - PhysX, Nvidia HD Audio (for Audio HDMI option), drivers 3D, plus and an "updater". They are all isolated components in which you can choose to install or not, according to your needs

  • What are the driver need to be installed?

    How can I add windows application Daqmx on studio measure 2010 in visual studio 2010?

    Hi SAM,

    To install support for Measurement Studio, you need to install support for this, when you install the NOR-DAQmx driver.  Since it seems you have installed .NET for Measurement Studio support in the first installation, you can add this support in running the National Instruments software installation utility.

    "" "You can access it by going on Control Panel" uninstall/change programs ' National Instruments software "uninstall/change.  Once the National Instruments software dialog box appears, you must choose OR DAQmx 9.1.7 in the products tab, and then select Edit.  It will ask you to insert the driver disc to continue installation. To do this, simply insert the DVD of drivers, you have, with which you originally installed OR DAQmx.

    From there, you can choose the custom Setup and choose to install .NET Framework languages support x.x (x.x will be regardless of the version of the .NET Framework will develop you in) with Integration of measurement Studio.  This document contains screenshots of what you will see the custom Setup.  The third figure in the previous document shows what I mean by installing support for .NET in Measurement Studio.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Best regards,

  • What is the driver used for the PCI8360.

    Hello

    Need your help

    We installed the PCI 8360 in the host PC and installed the latest version of NI PXI platform services, but he still sees the device as an unknown device. IUS the PXI platform or services the source of the driver for the PCI 8360? This condition of unknown device should when we do not have the PCI8360 still connected to the PXI8360 on the PXI system?

    Hoping for any response there.

    Thanks in advance.

    Jojo,

    There is not much that a PCI-8361 does by itself, but if you want to find in device manager it will appear as a bridge PCI to PCI.  In some systems, it may be something like "reverse PCI to PCI Express bridge".

    Bridges will appear under system devices.  If you open the properties for the PCI-8361 bridge, go to the Details tab, and then select "Hardware ID" in the property list, you should see "1093" within the description of "SUBSYS_.  Good luck.

  • "windows cannot find a driver" in the installation package?

    We have a file server and print XP on our network that has a printer Series PCL LaserJet 3330 installed 5th (using the original installation CD and prints from the XP Server). While trying to install the printer on a remote computer, I downloaded the driver package Windows 7 64 bit for the printer on the computer remote and got the error: «Windows cannot find a driver...» "(I don't understand why the pilot was not as it should be in the installation package.) After getting this error - several times, including the re - download the package and re - try - I downloaded the XP Server installation package and I changed the printer driver it as a package to install downloaded for XP. We always get the same error. The installation of the printer worked fine before having to redo our BONES. Anyone know this problem and can help with this?

    This issue is between 64 bit and 32 bit, and there is an easy solution. Once you get back to the way it was before you downloaded the 64-bit package that you go to the machine that you want to load the printer and the printer as a local printer using load say lpt1 port. Auto not detect or print a test page and just finished the installation. Now on the windows 7 computer to join devices and printers and right click on the printer icon and scroll the properties first and left click. Go to the ports, and then add the port and in the box that comes up to put in the name of printserver and the share name of the printer by using the syntax \\printserver\sharename how save and apply and this computer will now be able to print to the printer.

  • CCC and AMD graphics card failed after the driver update

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop 6 c-32eg.

    I recently tried to update my GPU driver, as was necessary to run a particular program (oclHashcat, if you're interested). I downloaded the installer from hereand he ran. It looks good, but after the required reboot, the screen resolution has been set at 800 x 600, instead of the usual 1366 x 768. Then, I got an error message saying something in the sense of "your AMD driver could not be installed because you do not have the required equipment. In Device Manager the GPU was something like "usinig windows has stopped this device because it has reported an error."

    If I try to open the CCC, the program runs for several minutes, with a relatively high CPU usage in the Task Manager, then the message "' Catalyst Control Center: the host Application has stopped working". "

    I have now tried different ways to solve this problem, which none have worked. Try to download a driver on the AMD website did not work, because the site said that the pilot was not appropriate for a computer with switchable graphics.

    My laptop doesn't seem to be using the AMD GPU as you try to run games as a test done drip slowly and with a minimum resolution.

    My laptop has doubled (switchable CCC) graphics:

    -AMD Radeon HD 7690 M XT card, with a 8.882.2.3000 driver version and date 30/09/2011.

    -And Intel HD Graphics Family, with, apparently, the same driver version and date as shown above. I can't know exactly what kind of GPU Intel it is.

    I also tried to update the graphic driver Intel, to see if that would fix the problem at all, but it made it worse: the screen become very red and low resolution. I fixed that by returning to a point just before performed system restore. Unfortunately, I don't think to do this before initially updated drivers.

    So, my question is: how to I find the full use of two graphics cards?

    Here is a copy - paste of my information system:

    Hello

    There may be a 3rd option left that you can try for one more set to gpu driver updates, but I would first get your system to a State where the switchable graphics work correctly.

    Try restoring the system first.

    If this does not work, the driver package AMD (containing two gpu drivers) you need can be downloaded from HP on the following link.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55092.exe

    In this case being able to find a game more set to driver updates, many people with your type of switchable graphics succeeded with the offers on the 3rd party site - I strongly recommend to read the Manual to get an understanding of how it works and why driver signature enforcement must be disabled in order to load these drivers.

    Hello lucky

    In my opinion, installing WXP on L40 is one of the most asked questions here on this forum and I recommend you to use the search function and search around a bit. On Windows XP Home Edition drivers there not much to say. I found the info your laptop belongs to the series of PSL4CE and I can see WXP drivers are available on the Toshiba support page. There is no driver package, but each driver can be downloaded separately.

    All you have to do is to install the OS and after that follow the order of the facilities. Check it please page 27 on PDF (Installations instructions).
