Drivers Installation How To Install Drivers For Your Windows Xp

Though there are a large number of hardware drivers came with Windows XP RC

, for the support to some older plug-and-play peripherals, they are with limited help.

I try to run an outdated web camera in Windows XP. This small-brand product is produced in 2004. It is too old and no way to find or download its driver in official Windows XP website. When I set up this camera, surely, it can not be correctly identified by the Windows XP system. Open the Device Manager (Start Control Panel System Hardware Device Manager), and there is a yellow exclamatory mark beside my web camera, which means my computer can not locate the cameras driver. Although I know this web camera uses a 301P chip, there has not been any driver of this version for Windows XP.

Then I bring it to mind that probably I can update drivers though Windows Update in Windows XP.

First I click Start, select All Programs and choose Window Update to open the Microsoft Windows Update website.

Second, I check the latest updates for my computer in this site and then I find a driver named VIMICRO-image- Lenovo Q350 USB PC Camera there.

Third, I follow the step-by-step instructions and update this driver automatically.

Fourth, open the Device Manager, a Lenovo Q350 USB PC Camera icon is there. Well then the computer has successfully installed a similar Lenovo driver for my web camera.

Finally, I check my camera on the Skype and it works correctly.

And I try to set up drivers for other older devices in this way, which also success.

However, if you want an easier, safer and faster way to install and update all your drivers, youd better download some driver manager tool like Driver Helper to help you. Driver Checker not only can backup, restore, fast scan to identify and update all your drivers automatically, but also can fix the troublesome driver problems in your computer quickly.
