"All Computer Driver" is the Only Software in which you download all computer drivers in single click..........

Definition: A driver is a small piece of software that tells the operating system and other software how to communicate with a piece of hardware.

For example, all printers come accompanied with drivers to install that tell the operating system exactly how to print information on the page. Sound card drivers tell your software exactly how to translate data into audio signals that the card can output to a set of speakers. The same applies to video cards, keyboards, monitors, etc.

Applications [edit]

Because of the diversity of modern hardware and operating systems, drivers operate in many different environments.^[7]Drivers may interface with:

• printers
• video adapters
• Network cards
• Sound cards
• Local buses of various sorts—in particular, for bus mastering on modern systems
• Low-bandwidth I/O buses of various sorts (for pointing devices such as mice, keyboards, USB, etc.)
• Computer storage devices such as hard disk, CD-ROM, and floppy disk buses (ATA, SATA, SCSI)
• Implementing support for different file systems
• Image scanners
• Digital cameras

Common levels of abstraction for device drivers include:

• For hardware:
  • Interfacing directly
  • Writing to or reading from a device control register
  • Using some higher-level interface (e.g. Video BIOS)
  • Using another lower-level device driver (e.g. file system drivers using disk drivers)
  • Simulating work with hardware, while doing something entirely different^{[citation needed]}
• For software:
• Allowing the operating system direct access to hardware resources
• Implementing only primitives
• Implementing an interface for non-driver software (e.g., TWAIN)
• Implementing a language, sometimes quite high-level
