This is so sad....

Ok so my sister is off to college (the one I b1tched about earlier because of the whole external HDD thing). Well I assumed that she would be able to get through college with few problems and she'd likely not have many PC problems, just like my other sisters, well I thought wrong.

A week after she arrived, she fubared her laptop because she purchased a lexmark printer and the drivers hosed the system. She now can't use her laptop and classes are starting, so she now is having her laptop UPS'ed (is that a word?) to me 1 day shipping and it's going to cost about $3**!! (Apparently 1 day shipping, both ways?)

I still have no idea why it's costing this much to ship and will hopefully figure it out. Still makes me mad though that a stupid $80 printer causes all of this havok (yes I know lexmarks suck, I was going to tell her but obviously too late). Whats even worse is that 1. She does not have the box, 2. She does not have the reciept and I guess refuses to return the printer on all circumstances. :|

Drivers a very important in computer systems. With out drivers, you could not run your computer. A driver is simply a peice of software that "bridges" communications between "hardware" and "software". Software being code that can be accessed and manipulated by the CPU and Hardware being like Controller chips, sound cards, video cards, Bios Control (to the OS).

So when you install a faulty driver in a system, it could possibly refer to computer parts that either are malfunctioning are to things that are non existant (like for example it runs in a memory space that is invalid, therfore crashing the system). A system with good drivers tends to run smoothly though there is only so much you can do with drivers, hardware plays a key role of course.
