If your computer suddenly pop ups with a warning about missing drivers, don't freak just yet. Usually, the drivers have not gone missing, just gone astray. There are ways of finding them without having to go to an expensive computer shop who will charge you an arm and a leg to do any of the following simple steps.
Try getting the CD that came with the device, and running it. You could install it or repair it, depending on the choices made available to you. Disregard the fact that your CD is probably outdated because it does not matter. You can always update the driver after you get the device to work again.
You can also attempt searching for the driver from the manufacturer. This means going to their website and sifting through their available choices. Be warned: there will be a lot to choose from, so you need to know the exact driver name.
A third option would be to use the Device Manager of your O/S. It could find the driver files that are missing. It usually has a wizard that you can click on to find the driver files.
The last option would be to get driver update software. You will need this anyway to make sure that all your drivers are updated regularly. With this software, you can keep using your years- old P- C and not have to worry about seeing that dreadful message pop up ever again in the future months and years.
Clearly, this is your best option because it will not just solve the problem instantly, it will prevent future driver problems
