Windows Drivers Vs Vendor Drivers
Nov 14, 2009
Have one question, When I installed Windows 7 the only drivers I have installed were my video and audio which are not part of the motherboard (not onboard). My computer runs fine but 1 game but more or less I never installed any driver for my motherboard.
Normally you install the motherboards nforce drivers, raid SATA/IDE drivers etc... Do I need to go back to my motherboard vendor and find updates for windows 7 or just leave it they way it is, or should I install the drivers off the motherboard CD I have here? My mobo doesn't have any windows 7 updates btw there all windowsXP based drivers.

I am using Outlook 2007. I click on a vendor's websites contact link .Outlook is launched and I compose the message. When I click on the send button, Outlook closes and the message just goes to the Outbox and will remain there until I reopen Outlook and manually send the message.Is there a way to setup Outlook so that I don't have to manually send the message?

I've recently been having various issues with my pc, among the things I tried to do was update my graphics card driver: found the newest driver crashed madly, and rolled back.What benefits are there in going for the newer ATI Catalyst drivers compared to the one defaulted by windows but which hasn't updated in 3 years. Generally what could have changed? Compatablity? If it works it works. Stablity? Performance? Heat management?Since it takes me 2 hours to download a driver (slow connection) I'm sticking on my Windows 7 default ones: I know they work. It does make me ask though if there is a benefit to upgading after i've got my PC stable again.

I'm running Windows 7 32 bit and I just noticed that all my drivers for the USB controllers, Audio/Sound devices and the Networking internet (Broadcom Netxtreme Drivers) have all died. They indicate that a Code 39 is the problem. I tried to load some of the drivers but it wouldn't allow them to install. I did a last known configuration attempt, no results. Did a system restore and it gave me an error message saying it didn't restore properly. I am trying to get the drivers online, burn them to a disk and load them. I have no internet access on that PC and the USB ports obviously don't work. I can get drivers on this PC online. Some I can't find. I did the uninstall driver, disable, all the usual for this problem. I am stumped. Any recovery attempts produce nil results. Thanks to Microsoft, I have no installation disc to do a new install or a backup image.

I recently purchased a Lenovo K230 Desktop and installed 64-bit Win 7 Pro.
Everything works fine... but I'm a little OCD about drivers and making sure everything is up to date.
So here's my question: I found a dedicated Lenovo site with drivers to most of my devices here.
If Windows has assigned it's own drivers (which in some cases are newer), should I just ignore the drivers on the Lenovo site unless something is not working?
Example: Intel has a network card driver on the site, but it's older than the driver Win 7 provided. Is there any benefit from using Intel's driver -- which is 180megs btw (why it needs to be that big puzzles me).
So... Manufacturer drivers Vs. Windows drivers? Any benefit to going back to the manufacturer and using their drivers or just leave things as-is?

I'm taking a ghosted image to another machine. On the image I have my device drivers set with static IP (e.g. Local Area Connection 1 is the static IP I want). I have two local area connections, 1 and 2, and 1 is what I want it to be while 2 is a default Microsoft IP.I put that image onto another system and after loading it I don't have Local Area Connections 1 and 2 anymore but Local Area Connections 3 and 4. When I first boot, the computer says Device Drivers Successfully Installed.Why am I losing Local Area Connections 1 and 2 and thus creating 3 and 4 which both have default Microsoft IPs? I want to retain the Local Area Connection 1 that has the static IP that I desire.

Having issues with RAID0 array being detected by Windows7 Ultimate x64 as SCSI. Apparently these drivers are the 'default' drivers that install when the RAID array is initialized. There is no option at this point to install other drivers instead.Using DeviceManager, there is an option to 'update drivers', and regardless of the method chosen, even selecting the file for a previously-downloaded set of drivers, Windows7 always comes back with a message of "Windows has determined that the best drivers for your system are already installed". Considering that SCSI drivers are the OLDEST ones out there, and actual SCSI devices are becoming rarer and rarer, how is it that these drivers cannot be replaced with more current and more applicable drivers?

Whats the recommended installation procedure for installing drivers for specific hardware from a developers site or using the windows 7 default drivers?
For example when I install my windows 7 x64 Betas it found and installed the drivers for my chipset and everything fine. However browsing my Motherboard manufactures website I see they Drivers for chipset, audio, and other components I can download.
Would you recommend I stick with Microsoft drivers or use the drivers on the developers site?

whether I can replace the Elantech drivers with Synaptics drivers, I have tried adjusting the sensitivity in my Elantech touchpad in my Acer Aspire 5750 but still not comfortable with it.I have tried to use windows7 generic drivers by uninstalling Elantech drivers but when I restart Elantech drivers are installed again. would preferably like to install Synaptics drivers if that's possible but I am not sure whether that will work.

I have a simple question, I recently fresh installed Windows7 and was wondering if I should Install the new mobo drivers from the ASUS site (i have an ASUS P5Q Pro) or should I just keep the current microsoft drives for all the chipsets/lan/etc. The only Thing I installed was the Realtek sound driver. Would there be any advantages to install proper drivers? because right now my computer runs perfectly stable and smooth using the Windows7 ones.

I have a GTS250 made by EVGA. When I installed windows 7, it knew it automatically.
I would prefer to leave it alone, but I am I missing out? Will it perform better with the Drivers from EVGA?

I've just updated my Acer Notebook to Windows 7. I've installed all the drivers that Acer supplies for Windows 7.
But what about the drivers that are not supplied? Should I install the ones that Acer supplies for Vista or stick with the 'pre-installed' drivers by Windows 7 ... Everything seems to work with the pre-installed ones.
And how do I check wether or not the Intel Turbo Memory is working correctly?

On my Lenovo W510 laptop I'm currently using the 14.1.1 PROSET drivers from Intel's website for my Centrino Ultimate 6300 wireless adapter. Lenovo just released new drivers on their web site with 14.02.0000. Going off of numbering the 14.1.1 drivers are obviously latest although I have seen that whatever drivers are made for Lenovo are always a little different (features and such). In this case is it better to go off of the laptop manufacturer's drivers (even though they are a lower number and seemingly older) or the wireless manufacturer's page (Intel).

So I can't seem to find the exact model on this laptop because she don't have the box and the CD drivers and there's no single sticker labeled at the back except for the OS licensed key. Though I already look inside the bios and here's what I got.
[code]...
But still can't find the right one I guess, here's the link: Model: HP Pavilion g Notebook PC Product No.: HP Support & Drivers | United States which one of these is the right model?Here's a shot taken inside the bios:
