A driver is a piece of computer software that allows the central processing unit (CPU) of your computer to communicate with an installed component, like a printer or a video card. Video drivers are typically specific to an operating system. Windows XP will probably use a different driver for the same card than Windows Vista or Windows 7. Drivers can sometimes become corrupted or outdated, so the ability to install a driver is a useful skill to have. Simply moving the new video card driver file into the location of the old one will not work, but the process of installing the driver is not difficult. | A driver is a piece of computer software that allows the central processing unit (CPU) of your computer to communicate with an installed component, like a printer or a video card.
