I got a warning box saying a display driver needs to be updated...How
do I do that? Thanks.
Download and install the latest video card drivers from the video card
manufacturer's web site..
You have a video card that allows you to see on your screen, a sound card
that allows you to hear your PCs sound output and so on. Visit those
manufacturer web sites for the latest downloadable drivers for your
hardware/operating system. Always get the manufacturers' hardware driver
over any Microsoft offers.
How do you know what hardware you have in your computer? Break out the
invoice or if it is up and working now - take inventory:

EVEREST Home Edition

Once you know what you have, what next? Go get the latest driver for your
hardware/OS from the manufacturer's web page. For example, let's say you
have an NVidia chipset video card or ATI video card, perhaps a Creative Labs
sound card or C-Media chipset sound card...
NVidia Video Card Drivers

ATI Video Card Drivers

Creative Labs Sound Device

C-Media Sound Device

Then install these drivers. Updated drivers are usually more stable and may
provide extra benefits/features that you really wished you had before.
