Drivers can make you crazy unless you take the easy way out. If your
computer is acting strangely or doesn't seem to talk with your printer
or other devices, rest assured you aren't alone. Even if you just
bought a new computer, it's only a matter of time before you'll feel
like pulling your hair out. To read more about drivers and what you can
do about them, be sure to check out the latest NNT report online at
