>> Here is general information about drivers:
>>
>> Never get drivers from Windows Update. Get them from:
>>
>> 1. The device mftr.'s website; OR
>> 2. The motherboard mftr.'s website if hardware is onboard; OR
>> 3. The OEM's website for your specific machine if you have an OEM
>> computer (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).
>>
>> Read the installation instructions on the website where you get the
>> drivers.
>>
>> To find out what hardware is in your computer:
>>
>> 1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
>> 2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific
>> model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers
>> anyway)
>> 3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
>> Advisor. The older Aida32 is good for this, too.
