A driver communicate with the hardware through subsystems. Drivers acting as translator between hardware device and operating system or computer programs. With modern hardware systems drivers operates in many different ways. Drivers interface with printers, video adapters, and sound cards and digital cameras. Drivers in modern Microsoft platforms run in user mode or kernel mode (x86 CPUs). Driver running in user mode have a useful feature is improved stability. If the appropriate driver not installed in operating system, the operating system may not work properly. In Microsoft window user an error regarding driver conflict can be seen in the device manager.
