Identifying Drivers

If you experience a problem with any device, identify whether the driver is the
source of your problem and, if necessary, update the driver.
Windows XP:

1 Click Start→ Control Panel.
2 Under Pick a Category, click Performance and Maintenance, and click

System.

3 In the System Properties window, click the Hardware tab, and click Device

Manager.

Windows Vista:

1 Click the Windows Vista Start button™

, and right-click Computer.

2 Click Properties→ Device Manager.

NOTE:

The User Account Control window may appear. If you are an

administrator on the computer, click Continue; otherwise, contact your
administrator to continue.

Scroll down the list to see if any device has an exclamation point (a yellow
circle with a [!]) on the device icon.
If an exclamation point is next to the device name, you may need to reinstall
the driver or install a new driver (see "Reinstalling Drivers and Utilities" on
page 34).
