    Windows 7 installer is mostly driver-complete, with newer arriving quickly via optional Windows Updates.

    Only provide your own drivers if any are missing in Device Manager, or performance dictates.

    This is not XP or even Vista. MS spent a fortune getting Win7 drivers in the installer and via Updates.

    Just run the update and let MS install any drivers you need.

    You could help us by filling in your system specs.
