Drivers

Many software problems can be solved by installing the most current drivers for hardware – including hardware locks, printers, and video cards. Listed below are links to sites for some of the hardware manufacturers that you are likely to be using.

Hardware Lock

If you are uncertain which type of lock you have, read our Online Help Database Article #569. This article also provides a link to the drivers listed above, and contains additional steps for downloading and installing the driver. Very often the driver download and installation will resolve issues where the lock is not being detected.


Printer Drivers

Drivers for 3rd party hardware such as printers should be downloaded from the manufacturer.

Video Drivers
It is important to always check with your system's manufacturer before downloading drivers for your video card as installing driver's from other sources may void your computer's warranty.
