When a brand new desktop or laptop is purchased, it may come with only one complete setup CD that installs Windows, devices drivers and many other software and utilities which you may not like or need.
When original device driver media (usually CD) is lost, corrupted, unreadable or otherwise inaccessible, DriverExtractor can extract driver files directly from Windows to replace the missing installation media. Previously our guys spent at least an hour for every PC that came through painstakingly looking for drivers, across six guys and fifty computers a day that's over fifty man hours a day which equates to real money saved! DriverExtractor can "reverse" the installation process by searching for all device driver files, retrieving them from Windows system folders and coping into a specified location.īasically, DriverExtractor recovers a driver and creates a driver files folder, which can be later used to install this driver back into the system. For other devices, you may need to load a new driver from a device setup CD.Īt device driver installation, driver files are copied from a specified location to system folders and get integrated into Windows. These drivers are installed automatically during Windows setup or when a device is plugged in. Many drivers, such as the keyboard driver, come with the operating system.
A device driver is a set of system files, developed by a device manufacturer. For a proper operation of any computer device (like modem, printer, video or sound card), the device driver must be installed.
