Hello friend's
I found that lots of people found difficulty in find the driver for his/her system.There are some software which helps the people to find the correct driver for his/her system but for this you have to pay some amount.
So i decided to build a open source software.
.
I listed here some way to find driver for our system.

1.Search by vendor id and device id.
2.Search by your motherboard model.

But i it is not sufficient to search a particular driver for a system.I faced some problem while searching a sound driver for our system.
Any more idea ?

    It's alway's hard to find matching audio driver for most of the system.In that case you better narrow your audio driver search on the type and made of your audio device that was given in the hardware section of control panel.

    Exhaustively search for the chip-set of your motherboard and sound driver for that chipset.You will definitely find something.Otherwise Give a try to trial and error method..

    One thing is, there are many local manufacturers coming up. And, in case of the driver names, now-a-days the software itself provides way to change them. So, I guess it is better to build a big database of CDs and DVDs... 😀 Dude, do you think it is practical and feasible?

    And coming to open source, a few drivers are commercial, like the nVidia... 😐 Think of them... 😀

    @praveen hey i just wan to search the pc for needed drivers.
    There are lot's of website that provide the drivers like driverfiles.net,driverzone.com,driverguide.com etc...including manufacturers website also.
    I want to create a software just like driver detector using java.
    .
    Please give me some idea how this can be done.

    Yeah man! I know about that, am not saying about the actual drivers. I am saying the drivers meant for hardware interaction in Java are present in this...
