What are drivers?

My printer will not work and it's saying that no drivers are found. What are those and how can I get drivers?
Thanks!

Hi,
Here is some information about drivers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver
You definitely need printer driver on your computer. Please select the right OS on your computer to download driver and install it on your machine. Here is the link:

What are Drivers (for XP OS) ?

Hello
I have heard that drivers are needed for the XP OS after it is installed?
Could someone tell me what their role is?
And how do i keep about knowing which driver/s to download?
Thanks

Hi - and welcome to the forums,
I don't want to assume you know a lot about computers, so pardon me for some overly simplistic answers to your inquiry.
Simply stated, you absolutely need those drivers! *Drivers are software bits and pieces which enable hardware to be recognized by the OS.* Without the proper drivers (think of them as translators) hardware devices such as RAM chips, processors, sound components, keyboards, video cards and displays, printers, etc. would not know what to do - nor - would the operating system (OS) know those hardware devices existed.
When installing BootCamp within the Mac OS enviro, BC contains all of the necessary drivers which allow Windows (XP or Vista) to see the Mac's native hardware devices. Using again the analogy of a translator - all of these devices and hardware parts must speak a common language - literally - such that they function properly together and with the machine's operating system.
As for knowing what to do during installation, if you stick with the standard Apple recommended order of BootCamp install business, you should be fine. Take the usual precautions when installing such system-invasive software:
1. BACK-UP existing files
2. Be certain your existing system is up-to-date with it's own software updates
3. Have all necessary install discs at hand
4. Consider putting the BootCamp partition on it's own harddrive. If you don't have that luxury, partition* your existing harddrive to accommodate the BootCamp XP environment.
*Be advised that partitioning your existing drive means wiping-off all of it's existing contents/data - hence the recommendation to do this on a new, blank, clean drive.
5. Be patient and don't panic - stick to the known rules and it will go smoothly.
One last piece of advice to you, these forums are an excellent source for help, advice, etc. Try to read through some posts regarding BootCamp, installing XP, etc. - merely as a source of general knowledge and confidence-building know-how.
Best of luck,

Hi Kumar,
I will give just hints rest you have to think and act not about Interview quotations but SAP MM career.
There are couple of guys and all of them has got job, first as a SAP testing, as SAP freshers in HCL/HP India etc.
Later on they have learnt all the business process in project and all the E2E cycles in MM/SD/FICO etc.
Now they are working on support projects and roll out projects.
I think there are ways and we need to understand how to explore all the job possibilities.
Please have good knowledge and definitely you will succeed. Short cuts are not always the way to success.
Hope all my fresher friends will find some clue here....

Solved!
Go to Solution.

download Thinkvantage System update, it should download all the necessary drivers for you.
These drivers are related to the Audio devices, modem, ethernet, Intel Controller, etc.

What are these drivers for?

On the MSI driver disc, when I go into the browse disc section their is a icon the says nvidia display drivers, what are those for if I already got my ATI drivers installed.
Is this driver suppose to be installed?

BobbyDRZA,
The reason they send you the MSI CD is so you have a place to put your drink so you do not end up staining your desk. (They make excellent coasters.)
Take Care,

What are the benefits of 64-bit computing?

What are the benefits of 64-bit computing?
From what I understand, the only benefits are the ability of the OS to address memory ranges beyond 2GB. Or is it 4GB? I can't remember.
Anyway, I have no intention of expanding my Intel MacBook's memory beyond its built-in 2GB RAM.

I think that the ram advantages of 64 bit computers is just a minor issue with most existing Mac computers. The average user today has between 2 to 8 GB's of ram. This amount of ram is easily handled by existing OS's like Leopard.
I believe that the actual benefits for most users will be when the code of their applications is re-written to run in 64 bit code.
From Apples Page on New Technologies: "It can also enable computers to crunch twice the data per clock cycle, which can dramatically speed up numeric calculations and other tasks." And on the same page: "64-bit applications can use more advanced security techniques to fend off malicious code".
http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/
The 'twice the data per clock cycle' will affect all users regardless of how much ram they have or plan to buy for their machines. More data per cycle means more speed. Better security built into the OS is always a plus.
This is why a MBP with a 3GB limit will still want to run a 64 bit application, and my new iMac with an 8GB limit will still benefit from Snow Leopard.
I view all this extra memory abilities as something very far off for Mac users today. Ram prices will have to go down even lower, new machines will have to be bought with new ram management chips, etc.
Meanwhile, most of Apple's applications are currently running in 64 bit even if the Kernal is running at 32 bit, and other companies (like Adobe) should be coming out with 64 bit versions of their applications. Most experts agree that since the Kernal runs very low-level functions, it won't benefit from 64-bit operation near as much as user applications.
The big delays here, are for hardware drivers to work in 64 bit, and also for helper applications like Flash. Apple knew this going into the SL project. It's going to take a year or so until almost all of our programs are upgraded. Meanwhile, both 32 bit and 64 bit programs will run on Snow Leopard.

What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion?

What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion. Currently running Snow Leopard. I have a late 2006 Model: iMac6,1. Specs: 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2, and the optional nVidia GeForce 7600GT c/w 256MB GDDR2. The advertisement is stating a 2007 model as the minumum, however the fastest 2006 Gen Plastic iMac should be faster then the slowest 2007 Gen Aluminum iMac7,1?

From a previous posting from some else, I saw it was the 32bit versus 64bit video card driver being the issue. I was wondering if the optional video card I have installed also was limited to the 32bit issue. 64bit drivers exist for the 7600 GT GPU.

What are the needed tools for JDBC???

iam new to this field, i want to know what are the required tools for JDBC??
i know that i need java.sql and javax.sql packages, but how can i get them???
what about the drivers???
thnx in advance

You need to go to the vendor's web site such as Oracle and download the jar file for that particular database. Example: ojdbc14.jar for an oracle database and copy it to the 'lib' folder of your project and then include it with your project. Within that jar file, you will have datasource, preparedStatement, resultSet objects. You will need to read up on how to instansiate the datasource for that database from the vendor's documentation.

What are all the extra ram timings in K8N Neo V2.0 H?

I've been having issues with setting up my memory on my MSI K8N Neo V2.0 H mobo. I've 1gb chip of ram with a timing of 3.0-3-3-8. Now in my ram settings there are extra setting that I have no idea how to use. So what are these settings : Trrd, Trc, Trfc, Trwt. And how do i set them up for my ram and where is the command timing setting at? I have the system setup for the settings i know of 3-3-3-8 but it keeps running T1 and I need T2, and the other settings i have left alone due to not know what they are. Any explanations would be helpful.

Well I originally had problems with board, I installed the board, install 2gb of ram, the Athlon 64 3200+, and an ATI Sapphire X1650 Radeon. I got Window XP Pro Sp2 installed on it and began to install the msi drivers. After installing all the drivers, the system was stable and so I started updating using MSI Live Update. It updated all my drivers, then said there was a newer bios version available for my mobo so I downloaded it, created the flash diskette and proceeded to restart to do the flash. Once the program started to flash it then failed. So i had to find my bios for it, which they do not post or put in live update anyway. I had to call MSI and have them email my original bios which happens to be 9.0 due to my board being the K8N Neo V2.0 H (MS 7030 Ver 3.0). I reflashed the original back on with no problem and have had nothing but trouble since. Now everytime I run Prime 95 it will run between 2-5 min then say i have a hardware problem. It will also lock up at random as well. I've at one point gotten the system run it for 18 min. I don't think it sets up the ram timing correctly so i have it partially done. I had to do it on another system that built that is identical to this system but its a Biostar, it gave similar issues until I did manual setting of the ram. Now it is rock solid with no problems at all. My MSI board has more ram settings than Biostar but there a few that I have no idea what to set them at. Like for instance the following - Trrd, Trc, Trfc, Trwt, and MTRR mapping mode. I've looked up what they are but nothing tells me how to use them to setup my ram. This where I am stuck. I hope this better explains the situation I am in now.

There are many jre exe files: what are the differences and which I choose?

Having some problems, that I will describe in another message, I was looking for the latest jre.
I saw that on www.java.com there is 6 update 1, whereas on www.sun.com there is already 6 update 2. So, I would like to know when an update is made available on www.java.com and through automatic updates?
Also, I saw different names, and I would like to understand in an exact way what are the differences:
jre-6-windows-i586.exe;
jre-6-windows-i586-iftw.exe;
jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-s.exe;
jre-6u1-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe;
jre-6u2-windows-i586-p.exe;
jre-6u2-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe;
I understand that te iftw part means the it is a small download, only the setup module. But why there are some files that end with "-p", some with "-p-s", sm with "-i586"?
Thank You

The question mark icon on the dlls indicates that LabVIEW is unsure of
the location of the DLL, or is unable to locate the DLL on your
system. This can happen if the DLLs do not exist, or if the "Call
Library Function Node" just specifies the name of the dll, and not the
entire path to the dll. IVI and Instrument driver VIs will
typically not supply the entire path to the DLL, whch would cause the
question mark icon to appear.
If your application is working properly, then you should ignore the
question mark in the dependencies list. If your application is
broken because the DLLs cannot be found, they are installed with the
following drivers:
ivi.dll is installed with the IVI compliance package, which is available at the following link:
Drivers and Updates: IVI Compliance Package
You should also install the latest version of NI-VISA, which is required by the IVI Compliance Package:
Drivers and Updates: NI-VISA
ag3325b_32.dll is installed with the your instrument's IVI driver, which can be found below:

What are the different ways of retrieving data from Oracle8i

What are the different ways of retrieving data from Oracle8i
into my HTML page ?
Is it JDBC and ODBC ?
Is there any other way ?
null

Methods I tried,
Applet using SQLJ/JDBC with JDBC drivers thin or Oci8,
Oracle Web Publishing Assistant,
HTP/HTF PL/SQL packages (if you have OAS 4.0)
Webserver Generator of Designer 2000 (if you have OAS 4.0)

Read this topic its about them: /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&message.id=24327#M24327
USB Mass Storage is the possibility to use your phone as a simple flash memory without the need of any additional drivers and apps, just plug it to you PC and write/read/copy the data.
UPnP is a something like a Wi-Fi protocol which allows u to view you images or listen to music on a compatible devices (PC, TV, music centers etc) over the air.
