A common problem with computer hardware involves the drivers. Many people will install new hardware (video card, sound card, network card, card readers, web cams) without installing the proper drivers. A driver tells windows how to use the hardware, and where it located, when not installed windows will not be able to use the newly added hardware, and may give many alerts on starting windows.
