| Word | Description |
| Driver | Drivers are pieces of software that tell the computer how to interact with other pieces of hardware attached to your computer. For example, you must install a driver to be able to print to a new printer. Until the driver software is installed, your computer has no way of knowing how to communicate with the printer. Hardware drivers are updated on a regular basis to improve stability, improve performance and/or to add new features. Out of date drivers can cause significant problems with your computer being able to operate correctly. Examples of drivers for your computer include a video driver, sound driver and printer driver. |
