Best Answer

A computer hardware driver is an interface between a piece of hardware and the operating system (Windows XP in this instance). As a hardware driver requires a high degree of control, the operating system is basically asking you to confirm that you are aware of installing such software and that you believe that the provider is trustworthy.
