Installing a driver

For more information on (re)installing drivers, see the printed Recovery Guide for details.

To install a driver that is stored on the C: drive, proceed as follows:

1Go to the folder C:\Drivers.

2Select the correct folder.

If you need to update a modem driver, for example, select the Modem folder.

3If there is an .exe file, double-click the .exe file and follow the online procedure.

If there is no .exe file, you need to go through the Device Manager to update the driver (see the second option in the Updating a driver (page 159) chapter).

If the driver comes on a CD-ROM or disk accompanying an accessory and the driver does not come with a specific installation procedure, proceed as follows to install it:

1Insert the installation CD-ROM or disk accompanying the device into the optical disc drive.

2Connect the device that needs a driver, to your computer. The Found New Hardware Wizard screen appears.

3Select Specify a location, then click Next.

4When installing a driver from the provided CD-ROM (or disk) by using a CD-ROM (or disk) drive connected to the computer, select the Drivers folder on the optical disc drive.

5When installing a driver after having copied the contents of the provided CD-ROM (or disk) to your hard disk, browse to the appropriate subdirectory containing the driver. The subdirectory should be found in the folder you copied from the CD-ROM (or disk).

6Click OK to begin the search procedure.

7Click Next to install the driver.

A new window appears when the driver has been installed.
