Yes, I'm running Windows 7 32 bit. The driver is a download from the manufacturer's website.

No. Plug and play. Devices like these usually have a driver (if necessary) on board.

I plugged in this webcam and it worked without any fuss over drivers. I'm running Windows 8.

No you just plug it in and start up Skype or linked in, etc... weird but works

Absolutely. I'm very happy with it. I installed the driver, hooked it up and away I went. I had NO problems.

You don't need software for using the external driver. Windows has its own set of drivers for this hardware. If, however, you have a specific need, then yes, you may have to purchase some software. Hope this helps.

No drivers are needed to use this in Windows. I suspect that the same holds true for Linux and iOS, but I can't confirm this.

As far as I know, you don't need drivers for this, but even if you do need drivers, you might want to tell us what operating system you are using which doesn't appear to support it. My advice would be that if the device does not seem to work when plugged into one of your USB ports that you assume that USB port is actually broken and try an alternate USB port. In case you are wondering, while I repair crashed windows installations with some frequency, and know too much about windows drivers, I'm only using Ubuntu Linux now, it is free, and it does not need drivers even for devices, such as printers and scanners, that traditionally need drivers when used with Windows.

There are no "drivers" required. The unit ID will be read during BIOS bootup sequence. It will require software if you want to playback Blueray disc, or record Blueray.

From what I have seen online you have to instal the drivers manually but here's the link to a seven minute youtube tutorial showing you how. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sCnbmjG_h90

It should come with the necessary driver software. You shouldn't need it though. Windows should recognize it.

Go to the creative site and look for the drivers. I would say so. yes. I have not looked but I bet so.

Hi Barry- No, this device does not require any driver. It does have a USB connector on the PC adapter which is only used to provide power. Since no driver is required you can actually use this device with any HDMI source including game consoles, Blu-Ray/DVD players etc. as long as you can provide the USB power.

You need a precision driver set. If you don't have one get one their pretty inexpensive. This item should have came with the appropriate screw drivers.

No you will have to download the drivers online. I am not sure about the free software.

In short yes, but Windows 7 doesn't include the driver out of the box. You will need to install the driver before you will be able to use the device. Use the included CD to install the driver, or you can download it from the manufacturer's website here: http://www.medialinkproducts.com/wirelessUSBAdapter.php.

I don't know that you need a driver for the device. You need a printer driver for the printer and then you need to set up a generic TCP/IP port for it to print to. I followed the advice of the reviewer who talked about setting it up manually and it worked with XP and Win7 for me and I didn't need a driver for the device.

No driver required. Hook up any monitiers or whatever you want and insert into the dock... Very easy to use...

I'm not sure but I would guess so.Mine came with software however, Windows (7) found the drivers anyway so I didn't use the software it came with.

No, their should be a generic driver built in to the Operating system of whatever you are installing it in. Then a proper driver can be downloaded and installed after the fact.
