Frequently Asked Questions - RadarSync 2006

1. What is a Driver?
   Drivers are the little programs that help the different parts of your computer -- keyboard, printer, graphics card, etc. -- talk to each other and work together. The problem is that most computers (even brand new ones) have outdated drivers, because the manufacturers of all those computer components update and rewrite their drivers all the time, but don't have the means to get the updates to you, besides posting them on their websites. So unless you're in the habit of visiting dozens of hardware manufacturer websites every couple of weeks to search for updates, RadarSync is your best bet for performing essential driver update maintenance.
   
   
2. Why do I need to update my drivers?
   Experts recommend updating your drivers as the first line of attack against many computer problems. Using RadarSync to maintain your computer can prevent these problems before they occur. Computer drivers are a lot like automobile drivers: Good drivers get you where you want to go; bad drivers mean you won't get anywhere.
   
   
3. I received a message on RadarSync Online that the Active X file didn't install, but I don't see anywhere requesting that I install it. What should I do?
   The Active X installation prompt will appear at either the top of your browser or at the top of the Active X window. Once you choose to approve the installation, about 30 seconds later you'll get a pop-up that will require you to again accept the installation. The installation itself takes under a minute. If you have failed to install properly before you click "Scan my Computer" you will receive a warning message. In this case, you should return to the sign in page and re-enter the email address and password you have provided. You'll then be taken back to the scan page and shoud once again receive the Active X prompt -- this time make sure you accept it!
