How can I get drivers for Windows 7 to install and play a game?

shoaib mohammad asks:

I installed Windows 7 on my PC. Then I installed a game that does not open. I went to my friend and told him all. He told me that I need to install drivers first, then I can play games.

I do not have Windows 7 drivers. I have only Windows XP and Windows Vista drivers. Please tell me what can I do now. I tried to download those drivers, but my internet connection is very slow. Please send your reply quickly.

    You may be able to find drivers for Windows 7 in the Support or Download section of the hardware manufacturers homepage or via the Microsoft Update Catalogue (Internet Explorer only)

    Shoaib,

    which hardware component are we talking about?
    I assume you need to install drivers for your graphics card.

    Did you try to install the drivers for Windows Vista? They should work on Windows 7.

Please wait...
