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 to an earlier version of the driver if the new
one does not solve your problem:
1. Click the Start button.
2. Type Device Manager into the Start Search box, and then click Device Manager to open the Device
Manager window.
3. Click the plus sign (+) to expand the type of device you want to update or rollback. (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.
