Updating Drivers
A driver is a software program that enables your computer to communicate with an attached
device, such as a printer, hard disk drive, mouse, or keyboard.
Complete the following procedure to update a driver, or to revert (or roll back) to an earlier
version of the driver if the new one does not solve your problem:
1 Click the Windows Vista start button, right-click Computer, and then click
Properties.
2 Under Tasks, click Device Manager.
3 Click the plus sign (+) to expand the type of device for which you want to update or roll
back the driver (for example, DVD/CD-ROM drives).
4 Double-click the specific item (for example, HP DVD Writer 640b).
5 Click the Driver tab.
6 To update a driver, click Update Driver, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
Or
To revert to an earlier version of a driver, click Rollback Driver, and then follow the
onscreen instructions.
NOTE: Use driver updates from HP only. Driver versions available directly from component
manufacturers could potentially harm your computer.
