Computers work way faster than our minds but they are bigger fools than us. They need to be taught just like a new born baby to carry out their tasks. Now the job of device drivers comes to play. They contain the essential data that is needed by the computer to control or operate that device that has been attached to it.
That is why, there is a specific device driver for a specific device because all the devices work differently.
They need an OS as this is the main program that operates the computer. Without this installed, all you would be able to do is switch on a device and nothing would happen. A better way to explain it would be that an OS is the programming of the computers brain, without it the computer would not know what to do with information imputed to it. OS systems take away the need to type in command language into the computer, so it also makes computing more efficent.
macro-kernel based operating systems like windows and Linux device drivers are part of kernel ..to interact withkernel need not switch to kernel mode...speed is high
You would need a VGA cable, If your Computer doesn't have a VGA port you would need some kind of extension which you could probably buy on amazon.
This is impossible, Windows and the Nintendo operating systems are completely incompatible. The drivers for one will not work and cannot be installed on the other.You will need to get a Nintendo driver.
A device driver is a set of rules and instructions that your operating system uses to know how to communicate with a specific piece of hardware like a scanner, printer and even the video and sound cards on your computer. As you get different types of printers, video cards, sound cards, etc your operating system needs this driver information to know how to send instructions to these devices in order for it to use them correctly.
In order for the computer to use the hardware.
You might have to download the drivers of that device. Vista Start Right Click My Computer Properties Device Manager All the things you see that are with a yellow exclamation marks, those are the drivers that need to be installed. They usually already have what they are so you can just look it up.
Device drivers are software that install into the operating system (OS) to allow communication with the peripheral. Because it would be impossible for the OS developer, such as Microsoft, to program for every single device ever made that connects to a computer, they rely on the manufacturer to write the driver software for each device. This is more efficient also since the software interface needed to address various devices doesn't need to be on the computer all the time, only when such a device is attached to the computer. Drivers generally are not very flexible: it will generally work only with a specific device family on a specific operating system version. Some drivers may be more generalized (such as certain printer drivers) but they will not have the functionality to all capabilities of the device in question.
You need to look in the device manager. Click start -> control panal -> system -> hardware -> device manager From there you can see which drivers there are errors on and you can reload or remove driver.
You need to install the drivers for the sound card your computer has installed in it.
A simple way to download device drivers is to visit www.driverguide.com. Enter your device model name or number, and the website will guide you to which drivers you need to install.
An example of a device driver would be the interface between the Windows Operating System and the computers Network Interface Card. Device drivers are used to eliminate the need for the Operating System to know how to "talk" with a given device. The Operating System makes standard calls (called API calls) which are intercepted by the device driver, translated into something the device can understand and passed to the device.
No special drivers are needed for connection to your computer.

Not really. I have installed drivers which is not digitally signed as long as it supports the Windows 7 system. It only warns you but you can proceed installing anyway.
Are you asking whether you are asking for drive letter or drivers? If you are talking about drive letter, that all depends on what letter is open when you plug in your USB device. The computer will assign it the next letter in the alphabet. If you are talking about drivers, that is specific to the computer. Depending on the computer you have, you will need to do some research to figure out which driver it needs.
Device drivers are generally free and can be found on the device in questions website. When you run the program, it should tell you need to update the drivers, and then give you a link to the download.
