Like regular device drivers, peripheral device drivers should be updated from time to time. Updates ensure that your device is patched with the latest updates, fixes, and enhancements. You can update your peripheral device drivers in several ways including by using Windows Update or going directly to the device manufacturer's website and downloading them there.
Nowadays it's pretty easy- most are USB operated and have built-in software that tells the computer how to use the device (called a "driver"). If the peripheral you're using is older or needs special help to work on your computer, it will usually come with a disc to put in and install the drivers.
I dont think there's a specific chip that tells what's in a computer. It's probably a software device that scans your computer and sees whats plugged into it.
The BIOS tells the system how to interface with certain devices in the computer.
A driver is a binary file used by an operating system to "drive" or operate a piece of hardware. Basically think of it this way: Your computer does not know how to use the hardware until it is given the instruction manuals a.k.a. drivers.
The operating system tells your personal computer how to function. The operating system tells the computer how to interact with the keyboard, the monitor, the modem, and just about everything else the computer does. Your central processing unit does whatever the program tells it to do. Then it comes to a point where the program tells it to send something to the printer. It says to the operating system, "Take this to the printer." Then the operating system takes it to the printer.
It "tells" something what to do. For example if you pressed caps lock it would "tell" the computer to type in capitals.
It is a sensor that tells when you are moving the device. e.g. when playing a car game it helps you to steer.
It's very simple actually: it's just a computer. The pilot tells the computer where to fly to, via which route and at which altitude and the computer operates the airplane's systems.
I use a program call PCWizard 2006.It scans my computer and tells me what hardware I have.You can also look in your control panel's device manager.

restart your computer without device hooked up
