Tutorial: How to update a device driver

We assume that a driver update is never easy or painless one thing and then my heartfelt advice is that if you’re not sure what you are doing, willingly donated money to your technical adviser, or used Driver Robot that will work for you saving a lot of time!
If you really can not do without risk, find below a step by step guide to update the drivers, unfortunately I can not be clearer than this because every driver, every computer and each operating system has its peculiarities and how it is to download to update it.
We go to Start -> Control Panel if you have the control panel as shown below click Switch to Classic view, at this point many more icons will appear and select System (if not found, it is usually in alphabetical order. We will open a window like the one in the picture below and you click the Hardware tab  and then the Device Manager button.
The Device Manager window is quite complex but you have begin to fraternize if you update your drivers. There are a number of icons with more or less close. Those are the different types of devices that are installed on your computer. so in my case I’ll go look for the video card that I interested in upgrading to know which model I have. Seeking the icon that says: Video card and I click the + to open a submenu which contains the various drivers installed. In my case I am unlucky because I have two so far to understand what it takes a bit of common sense, in my case an ATI 4670.
Here I found the model I will note on a sheet but I also need to know the date of the driver.
Click the right button on the name of tab and choose Properties. Now I have the necessary data but to know where to download drivers must be careful because if your computer has a disk, you can go directly to the site of the device manufacturer, in this case, if it were my I went to was a fixed site of ATI.
If you remian unsure of what version of drivers download, let Driver Robot choice the better for yuor video card or hardware in general.

It seems that those who said that Windows 7 was not simply an evolution of Windows Vista is right, a fact confirmed by the fact that Windows Vista drivers are (at least in my experience) compatible for Windows 7.
But now not just download Drivers Windows Vista is installed but you have to use some simple “trick.” First of all download the driver for Windows Vista from the site of our board or the site you want to install hardware drivers. Then try to start the executable files, almost surely will tell you that are not compatible.
Now click with the right on the former, then go to:

Properties>Compatibility:

Then start the executable with administrator privileges (run this program like as an administrator) by right clicking on the last former.
It ‘possible that some installations do further checks on the compatibility as there are installation files. Ini in the same folder as the executable driver. Open that file with notepad and replace the string “WNT_6.0P_32 Vista32 =” with “WNT_6.1P_32_MCE Vista32 =” save and restart the executable.
