What to look for when installing a driver

Motherboard-Driven Installation

At present, all motherboards provide "fool" installation driver, as long as the mouse to select the installation bar in turn. Install the motherboard driver before installing the driver. Many motherboards, especially those with Intel chipsets, require that a motherboard driver be installed before installing another driver. Therefore, it is better to install the motherboard driver first. The Intel motherboard driver is two files and has an installation order. You have tried many times to install the INF first and then install the IAA. It is best to restart your computer after you install the INF, or you will be prompted not to install it. Via (Granville) and NF motherboard driver is much more convenient, only to execute a program can be completed, SIS motherboards are similar. Install the installer directly, and then click Next until the system prompts you to reboot. Sometimes CPUs (mainly AMD processors) need to be installed to drive, and the system can be upgraded after the AMD processor driver is installed under Win XP. So friends with AMD processors have to look at the drive disk carefully to see if there are any CPU-driven instructions on it.

Video-driven installation

Multiple versions of the driver are typically included with the drive disk that comes with the video card, but it is always best not to have the latest drivers. Win2000 above operating system friends are best installed through the Microsoft Certified driver. The installation of Win98 or win me operating system is nothing to pay attention to, if you find the installation of video card driver after the situation, we recommend to replace the other version of the driver.

Installation of sound card driver

Many friends may not know their motherboard to integrate what sound card, the installation of the face of many drivers do not know how to choose. It is recommended that before installing the driver, it is best to see the sound card chip model on the motherboard, or look at the motherboard instructions.

Nic-Driven installation

At present, most motherboards are integrated with the network card, this type of product driver installation is relatively easy. Unfortunately, part of the integrated Granville card is easy to install the time will encounter problems that can not be correctly identified. At this time must carefully study the instructions and then install. I have encountered a lot of Win98 system under the normal installation of Granville card problem.

USB Interface-Driven installation

Win98 can not achieve the USB2.0 transmission speed, so under the Win98 only install usb1.x driver. In Win2000 above system also need to install a patch to achieve normal USB2.0 speed. So when installing USB driver, we should pay attention to it.

Printer, scanner-driven installation

There are a number of peripheral products need to execute the driver installation files, and then connect according to the installation prompts, or there will be no installation problems. For example, founder of some models of printers. In this case, it is recommended that the instructions be carefully studied and then installed according to the instructions. If you find an installation error, remove the device that installed the error in Device Manager, and then reinstall the correct driver.

RAID driver installation

For installation drivers, the win XP operating system is the most convenient for all operating systems, most hardware Win XP can be recognized and installed automatically, do not need to manually install separately. What if a driver installation error is found and the device does not install correctly after it is removed (this is more likely to occur in Win98)? You can just find the appropriate file deletion in the INF in the Windows directory. This method should note that the basic knowledge of the computer is not high English bad friends do not easily try, or you may need to reinstall the system.
