what is Device Driver?

                  A device driver is also a program that acts as a link between your computers operating system and any hardware you are trying to connect and run it.

                  Consider an example of a Network Adapter – When you install a Network Adapter to your PC/Laptop, the device driver acts as a medium between your pc operating system and the hardware device (Network Adapter) and interpret commands, routines to activate the device.

                  Drivers play an important role and with out them the operating system could not interpret and run all the devices attached to a computer.

 Many device vendors come with their own driver programs. These driver softwares are given by them in a CD or Floppy, Don’t lost them guys. For example, you have bought a printer or a new sound adapter they will come with device drivers in a CD or a floppy disk. you have to install them in your operating system after these devices are plugged to your system.

If you lost your device driver CD then you can search in internet or the device company official website and download them to your system and install it.

• You should have device driver with you either in your hard drive or an external storage media. With out them it is useless to follow this process.

It takes time to rectify most of the problems and fix these loopholes. But it would become most popular Operating system in the future and i hope so.

               Vista users have discovered the latest problem after installing the latest version of Internet Explorer and i too have faced the problem when IE8 is installed on my Dell Notebook. The problem is what you see in the title “Sidebar in vista disappeared on the next start of my Notebook”. I did one thing which is simple but it is not effective solution for solving this problem. I have restored to the systems earlier state which might be a simple solution but you will loose the usage of Internet explorer 8.

               The latest solution for this problem is discovered and is an effective method to fix this loop hole. The problem occurs because of missing XML registration in the system.

               This problem can be fixed by following the below steps :

+ Close the windows sidebar and this can be done by making a right click on the Sidebar Icon in the Notification area         and click Exit.

+  Then do the following   Start   >  Programs  >  Accessories  >  right click Command Prompt   >  Run as Administrator.

+  Type the following commands

      *regsvr32 msxml3.dll

      *regsvr32 scrrun.dll

      *regsvr32 jscript.dll

On successful registration, You will see the message like this “DllRegisterServer in <filename> succeeded for each command executed”.

Now open Windows Sidebar and now it will be seen. For opening sidebar you can also execute sidebar.exe in cmd prompt.
