Drivers provide an interface between low level hardware (mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.) and the application software that uses them. Drivers normally operate within the operating system kernel, which is a protected area of the system. Poorly written drivers can cause full system crashes more readily than regular applications, since they have access to very important and sometimes complex parts of the system. Many a blue screen of death have been wrongfully blamed in Microsoft, when a poorly written 3rd party driver was At Fault.
