1.INTRODUCTION
A device driver, when taken in the context of computer
technology, simply refers to a programmer (software) normally developed by the hardware manufacturer to allow it to interact with the computer system. This driver programmer is used by the different components and applications in the machine to execute a specific task like printing, DVD reading and writing, or connecting to the Internet, among others. Device drivers are generally specific to the underlying operating system and hardware-dependent, which means that the correct version must be installed to ensure proper operation of the supported device. In most cases, new hardware is accompanied by its own device driver, and in other instances, the manufacturer provides a downloadable (often updated) version from their own website. 2.COMMON PROCEDURES IN INSTALLING DEVICE’S DRIVER. 1.There are various ways to install a device driver. To download from a website, proceed to the next step. To install from an optical medium, go to step 4. To use other removable storage types, jump to step 6.
2.Launch your web browser and go to the website of the manufacturer
of your hardware, or use any search engine like Google or Yahoo! to search for the appropriate device driver. 3.Save the file to a folder on your hard drive. Upon completion of the download process, simply run the device driver to install it.
4.Install a device driver from the accompanying CD media
and simply insert it into the CD or DVD drive of your machine.
5.An installation program will be launched, which will initiate
the process. Simply follow the prompts that will appear on the screen to complete the setup of the appropriate device driver. The installation program will also terminate automatically once the process is completed. 6.Device drivers may also be distributed using removable storage, like flash drives. These types usually represent driver updates to take advantage of functions on newer operating system platforms. Insert the flash drive into the appropriate port.
7. Wait for the operating system to recognize the removable
storage media. The process may start immediately during the installation process.
8.If the installation does not begin automatically, simply open
the explorer program and navigate to the appropriate drive. Locate the executable file that will launch the device driver application. 9. Make sure to choose the correct version which corresponds to your Operating System. Follow the onscreen prompts until the process is completed.
10. In all device driver installation procedures, make sure to scan
the files with your protection software before beginning the process. Once the device driver has been successfully installed into the system, reboot the machine to ensure all changes are reflected in the Operating System. 3.Installing driver/ device driver a. via Installation Disc Materials, Tools and Equipment
(Motherboard ECS 865G-M8 Insyde BIOS)
Operating System: Windows OS Motherboard Manual Motherboard Driver/Installation Disc(supports Motherboard ECS 865G-M8 Insyde BIOS) Computer with Optical Disc Drive (ODD) Note: Specified hardware (Motherboard ECS 865G-M8 Insyde BIOS) is my chosen device used to demonstrate the installation procedure via installation disc. Different devices have different installation instructions, if you are going to install driver of your device, I strongly recommend that you must read the manual in order to obtain successful installation. The support software CD-ROM that is included in the motherboard package contains all the drivers and utility programs needed to properly run the bundled products. Below you can find a brief description of each software program, and the location for your motherboard version. More information on some programs is available in a README file, located in the same directory as the software. Cautions Never try to install all software that is not specified for use with your device e.g. Motherboard ECS(Elitegroup Computer Systems) 865G-M8 Insyde BIOS. If the Auto-install CD-ROM does not work on your system, you can still install drivers through the file manager for your OS (for example, Windows Explorer. Before installing any software, always inspect the folder for files named README.TXT, INSTALL.TXT, or something similar. These files may contain important information that is not included in this manual. When you insert the CD- ROM(Compact Disc Read-Only Memory) disc in the CD- ROM drive, the autorun feature will automatically bring up the install screen. The screen has three buttons on it, Setup, Browse CD and Exit. Note: If the opening screen does not appear; double-click the file “setup.exe” in the root directory. Application Tab Lists the software utilities that are available on the CD. Read Me Tab Displays the path for all software and drivers available on the CD 4.RUNNING THE SETUP
