Maybe, Windows Update does have some drivers; you will need to open the Windows Update control panel and check for optional updates. (Windows+X, select Control Panel. Go to System and Security, then select the link for Windows Update.) Check for updates (on the right) and then look at the list of Optional updates. Check the ones that you need.

Be careful: sometimes Windows Update provides the incorrect driver. If you need the drivers for a specific device, check with the manufacturer or post a comment with the manufacturer and model.

I hope this helps.

(Windows Update has successfully found the drivers for my older printer and scanner to go with Windows 8.1. Unfortunately, last week I had to hide an Network adapter driver by right-clicking on the update that was from an unknown company.)

    Its a toshiba c655d-s5508 can u help me find a website that is easy to use plz an thanx so much

  • Cindy Wells Feb 09, 2015

    Toshiba has a list of drivers for the C655d-s5508 here:http://support.toshiba.com/support/model... . Scroll down and look at the left side of the page and select your OS (Win7 or 8, Vista or XP and the flavor (32-bit or 64-bit for Vista and up). If you aren't sure if you have a 64-bit version of Windows, go to the Control Panel > System and Security > System. If the OS details doesn't say x64 (for Vista or Windows 7), it's the 32-bit version. Then use the other filters to choose the specific drivers for various parts of your laptop. (Unfortunately, that is the best way to update drivers. I've tried several driver updating programs that often get the wrong driver.) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Quantum Superloader 3 - Medium Changer missing.

If the Medium Changer is missing from Device Manager on your Windows Server 2016 system, it is possible that the driver for your Quantum Superloader 3 is not installed or not functioning properly. Here are some steps you can try to fix this problem:
  1. Check the driver installation: Make sure that the driver for your Quantum Superloader 3 is properly installed on your system. You can check this by going to Device Manager and looking for the "Tape Drives" or "Medium Changers" section. If the driver is not installed, you can try downloading and installing it from the Quantum website or from the manufacturer's CD that came with your tape library.
  2. Update the driver: If the driver is already installed on your system, you may need to update it to the latest version. Outdated or incorrect drivers can cause problems with device recognition and functionality. You can check for updates to the driver by going to Device Manager, right-clicking on the Quantum Superloader 3, and selecting "Update Driver" from the context menu.
  3. Reinstall the driver: If updating the driver does not fix the problem, you may need to uninstall the current driver and then reinstall it. To do this, go to Device Manager, right-click on the Quantum Superloader 3, and select "Uninstall Device" from the context menu. Then restart your system and install the driver again.
If these steps do not fix the problem, you may need to contact Quantum customer support for further assistance. They will be able to provide more specific troubleshooting steps based on your particular tape library model and setup.

Lan drivers & draphic drivers are not installing. Im using win7

There are no drivers available or needed for this board under Win7.
Optionally you may use this tool (http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/detect.htm) to detect any drivers you may be missing. Your biggest problem may be that Win7 hasn't detected your Lan card and update isn't possible. If this is the case try installing a USB Wifi Card and doing the update. Win7 will automatically find the drivers and install them for you with update.

Installing drivers

Hi thewaysofthe,

There are plenty of site that offer free downloads to update drives, but all they really do is download the software examine your problems, and then ask you to pay for it to be fixed. So, what I would do is go to your control panel and click on the system icon. In there you'll find a hardware tab. Click that on and go to device manager. Then go down to the sounds, video and game controllers, and if the driver is missing then you'll see a ! in a yellow triangle. You can ask windows to reinstall the driver by right clicking that ! icon and choose install or update driver. Follow the instructions and it will walk you through updating the driver.

If you don't see a ! on your sound device, then perhaps there is something else that is wrong. Check to see if you have it on mute. Check to see if the speakers power button is turned on. And lastly if all else fails, try and reboot again. Sometimes things just magically fix themselves on a reboot.

Good Luck,

And don't forget to leave a rating on my solution.
