Other tabs include the Driver tab, which
displays the details of the driver being used.
This tab also lets you update or uninstall the
driver. The Resources tab displays the
hardware resources being used. This tab
allows you to see and resolve any conflicts
caused by non-PnP devices. Along with these
tabs, some devices have additional advanced
settings or tabs for device-specific settings.
7.2 Installing and Removing Hardware in Windows
Plug and Play (PnP) is a standard that makes
installing new hardware devices easier. Prior to
PnP, installing new hardware meant finding
and installing peripheral drivers and making
sure the new device didn't conflict with another
device. Theoretically, if you have a computer
designed for PnP and are using a PnP
operating system (like Windows), installing a
printer, sound card, modem, or other peripheral
is a simple matter of plugging in the device.
It's not always quite this simple. Assuming you
are using a PnP computer, when you attach a
PnP device, you may see a message indicating
that Windows has recognized the new device-
either immediately or the next time you start up
your system. If Windows needs a driver that is
not currently installed, you may at that point be
asked to insert a disk or the Windows CD-
ROM. If you don't see a message but the
device appears to be working, you can assume
that everything is fine.
