A "driver" is a small program which enables software to talk to hardware. Anytime you install a printer, digital camera, sound card or video card, joystick or any other peripheral, you would need to install a driver to enable both Windows, and the software which will use the hardware, to communicate to it. Windows often comes bundled with generic drivers for printers, cameras...etc, however a CD usually is packaged with the hardware which should be used.
