[apleaple]

Hello ragezoners,I'm new in reformatting Hard Drives and still confused w/ a lot of stuffs hope you'ld help me.Here is my question I reformatted my HD 1 week ago.I downloaded some updates from WINDOWS and used the "Device Manager" to download the drivers w/ the question mark.Now I noticed that I'm experiencing "lag" in some games.I ask some player and they told me that I should install the driver for my video card and motherboard but I'm confused w/c drivers are for w/c.May I ask how would you know which drivers appropriate for your hardwares?Guys please help me.Thanks in advanced.

1. is w/c which? i tot w/c was usually referring to washrooms

2 assuming its which, to get a suitable driver , preferably the latest, go to your manufacturers website (e.g. Nvidia cards, go to Nvidia's website, same for intel or AMD) to get the latest drivers.
3. if possible, please list down your specs, and the game u r playing...

If you have no drivers, you will experience "lag" just by moving your mouse, i'm surprised you can play any games at all.

You should still have the driver CD's which came with your Pc. all the drivers are there. If not, go to the manufacturers website of yur hardware and search for the drivers.

@rishwin - True
@1st post - Newer use Windows to find drivers for you, find it yourself, your PC don't need like 100 drivers to download. Can we have your PC specs please ^^?

I wonder what Windows are you using, because with Vista the drivers are installed..

 

[WulfgarXX]

Wrong ? Vista doesn't install all the drivers, I had to manually install everything.

It has a list of known drivers for which it will automatically install. Just depends on what hardware you have.

1. You cannot format your PC (Personal Computer)
2. You was formatting your HDD

And now the fun part:
Okey, you must have some CD's when you bought your PC. You don't throw them out after first installing.

As I see you don't have them, well maybe you have box'es still left? If yes, you can look up the hardware info on them and then install the drivers depending on your hardware.

There is another option. You can actually instLOL some drivers with no information about your PC, there are sites where ActiveX automatically founds your hardware. Don't know how they work and if they work or it's a mialware because I keep my driver cd's.

Just go to your computer's manufacturer website, and usually they have this Download & Support stuffs, where you could get your drivers.
