The steps of driver installation
By Joe Lee
Installing a driver is an essential step after installing a new OS. Nirmally, OS covers most device drivers but we cannot stand on it. It is very necessary to install the latest drivers for getting the best performance. The reasonable steps of driver installation as follows:
1. You should patch Service Pack (SP) to your OS after installing a new OS.
We know that the driver directly confronts the operating system and hardware. First thing first, we should make our operating system is perfect to use by patching all Service Pack of OS. After that, we can ensure a seamless operating system and driver combination. Windows system can download the latest patch from Microsoft's official website. Of course, you can download it by third-party tools.
2. Install motherboard chipset
Motherboard chipset drivers mainly used to turn on the motherboard chipset built-in features and characteristics. Motherboard chipset likes heard of PC, integrated sound card, and other equipment. Motherboard chipset driver can identify the corresponding chip board, and automatically install the appropriate Inf file to reflect the functional characteristics of the chipset, such as PCI and ISAPNP services in support of the AGP,SATA,USB,IDE/ATA33/ATA66/ATA100 support for PCIe support, etc., Most motherboards are NVIDIA chipsets, the driver package built a sound card, network card and other integrated device drivers, do not need to install the user.
3. Install DirectX drivers
We recommend the latest version of DirectX. As we know most OS do have built-in DirectX 10 version. However, gamers need to install the appropriate version of DirectX 9.
4. Install video card driver
The graphics performance is most PC users wants, such as sound cards, network cards and other equipment. After installing graphics card drivers, drivers not only provide a more comfortable user interface, but also reduce the chance of a black screen crash. Remember reboot your PC after your installation of video drivers complete.
5. Install network cards, sound card etc.,.
6. Install printers, scanners and other peripheral drivers
The last topic is drivers of keyboard, mouse, monitor and other equipment. Most of them do not need to install drivers, but you have to be careful to look at instrucrue first.. Tthese devices must be correctly identified by installing,the corresponding driver. this can improve the stability and performance.
Most Microsoft mouse do not need drivers because OS already built in on it. For special mouse, such as gamers may need install the corresponding mouse drive
