Easy driver updates
Easy driver updates
|
You can avoid hardware hassles by using the most current versions of drivers for your PC's components. Until now, that meant going to the vendor's Web site, searching for a new driver, and (if you found one) downloading and installing it.
Windows Update, a utility that connects to a database of the latest device drivers on Microsoft's site, eases this process. Select Start-Settings-Windows Update; this will take you straight to www.microsoft.com/windowsupdate. To use the site, you must use the IE version that ships with Win 98. Once you're on that site, the program will compare your system's configuration files with the driver database and list any drivers for which updated versions exist. Note: If a new driver is causing problems and you want to reinstall the original one, run the Update Wizard Uninstall utility, which is located on the System Information Tools menu. - Kirk Steers | Category:hardware, win98 Issue: December 1998 |
