Just to clarify Tom's response, drivers are the responsibility of the
hardware manufacturer. While some drivers may be available from Windows
Update they are supplied by the manufacturer and often the drivers from
Windows Update are outdated so it is always best to check the manufacturer's
website for the latest drivers compatible with your operating system and/or
to check to see if the manufacturer is supporting the specific hardware in
your current operating system.
