One thing about windows seven that i do not understand is why unlike vista, it does not give you the choice of checking for a driver online as the hardware is being installed

So if your hardware’s diver is not in the driver store, you have to go get it yourself !

Also the steps to enable the driver availability check and download are not so intuitive, i have found a few ways, here is the simplest

click start
click devices and printers
Your computer should be listed under devices
Right click your computer in that window, and select device installation settings
Fix it so that it would download drivers

And you are done
