Drivers

[Guest]

I have lost a driver or drivers on my C drive. Does anyone know how to find
what and where to get them?

Drivers are typically obtained from the manufacturer of the device in
question (e.g., sound card, video card, etc.) For what device do you
need a driver?

I was told it has something to do with the bios configuration of the C drive,
but they said it was a driver.

Hi Amy:

A driver is the software that connects the operating system to a
hardware device. Therefore, the first question to answer when looking
for a driver is "for what hardware device do I need a driver?" No one
can tell you where to find a driver until they know what hardware device
needs a driver.

What info do I need to get in order to find out what driver or whatever I am
to look for?

Hi Amy:

I'm afraid this conversation isn't being helpful to you, so I suggest
you discuss this problem with someone who can be sitting with you at
your computer.

Ordinarily, you would suspect that you need a driver if a particular
hardware device wasn't working properly, such as your printer, monitor,
mouse, etc.

Amy:

Perhaps it would be best to re-start this conversation. How do you know
you have "lost a driver"? Did someone tell you this, or did the
computer pop a message on the screen?

See question on the C drive. I reposted that after a tech told me that was
what I needed.

I assume you mean this answer from elsewhere in the thread:

Which says pretty much nothing.

Here's where we are at in this thread, Amy. Y

ou have been told something by someone as of yet unidentified. You either
do not recall their exact wording or they have no clue what they are talking
about or they had no interest in actually helping you in the first place.
No matter which it was - it is of no relevance at this point.

What we need to know in order to help you is *why* said person would tell
you that in the first place? Why was it you asked/brought the computer to
them to be repaired/looked at? What prompted this inquiry at all?

If we know where this all started - it may lead us to what you actually need
instead of what you (or some other unknown entity with who knows what type
of knowledge) thinks you need.
