Drivers are programs written for specific pieces of hardware that allow the hardware and your computer to interact correctly. If a computer device or add-on is no longer installed, no longer necessary, or if you're having compatibility trouble with the version you have, you may want to remove the corresponding driver. Just remember that removing a driver means the piece of hardware won't work anymore.
Instructions
