What are programs used by the operating system to communicate with various hardware devices?
Drivers
What are programs used by the operating system to communicate with various hardware devices such as a pronter?
INTERFACES
System is a set of programs that coordinates all the activities among computer hardware devices?
Operating System.
Which if the following statements is not true about device drivers?
Device drivers are not needed for hardware to function. They act as an interface between hardware devices and the operating system. They are software programs that allow communication between the hardware and the operating system. They need to be installed and updated regularly to ensure proper functioning of hardware devices.
What is hardware controler?
hardware control is a operating system. OS is used to control the elctronic devices(hardware) via user. because user can't control hardware directly so, OS is used to interface computer & user
What kind of software consists of the programs that control or maintain the operations of a computer and its devices?
This would be the operating system (or OS). The operating system controls and/or maintains the operation of a computer and its devices. Among other things, the OS manages the memory, does traffic control for the various programs, and loads drivers to control the low-level hardware functions to make the devices usable,
What is a operting systeem?
An operating system is software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides services for computer programs. It serves as an intermediary between users and computer hardware, enabling the execution of programs and the management of resources such as memory, storage, and input/output devices. Examples of operating systems include Windows, macOS, and Linux.
What is Windows 95 Microsoft Registry?
used to store much of the information and settings for software programs, hardware devices, user preferences, operating system configurations, and much more.
What are two types of system software and how are they used?
operating system and utility programs. operating system sets programs that coordinate all the activities among computer hardware devices. provides a means for users to communicate with computer and other software. utility programs allows users to perform maintenance-type task.
What is the name of the software that an operating system uses to control hardware devices?
Driver.
These devices translate data and programs that humans can understand into a form that the computer can process.?
input devices
Which program controls the hardware and software in a computer?
The BIOS manages the data between the operating system and all input and output devices attached to the system. The programs that manages operation and data transfer between computer programs and the attached devices are called device drivers, device handlers. device processors, io handlers, and other names depending on the computer and operating system. These programs are usually included with the operating system or added to the operating system to support devices not originally known to the operating system. On a PC (the common Personal Computer) these programs are included in the flashable read only memory called the system BIOS (Basic Input Output System). Besides basic system startup testing and functionality, it also provided a device driver interface for software to access standard known devices on the machine without the programs having to know the specifics of hardware programming. Some operating systems and standalone software supply their own device drivers (ignoring BIOS provided versions) either to support devices not supported by the BIOS or to supply more efficient or more capable implementations of device drivers.
