Driver Update

Correct Answer: Visit the printer manufacturer's website and download the latest driver.

The best course of action when suspecting an outdated printer driver is to visit the printer manufacturer's website and download the latest driver. This ensures that the printer has the most up-to-date software and can function properly with the operating system. Uninstalling and reinstalling the printer might work if the issue is with the printer's software, but it doesn't guarantee the driver will be updated. Running a system restore to an earlier date could potentially resolve the issue if a recent change caused the problem, but it's not the most direct approach and could undo other important system changes. Purchasing a new printer is unnecessary if the issue can be resolved by updating the printer driver.

Correct Answer: Check the touchpad driver for any updates or rollback to a previous version.

It's best to first check the touchpad driver for updates or rollback to a previous version, as this is the most likely cause of the issue. Reinstalling or updating the driver might fix the problem without requiring more invasive actions.

Correct Answer: The display driver has become corrupted or outdated.

When a monitor's resolution suddenly becomes extremely low and cannot be changed back, it typically means that the higher resolution settings are no longer available to the system. This is often due to the display driver becoming corrupted or outdated. The operating system relies on the display driver to communicate effectively with the graphics hardware. If the driver is malfunctioning, the system may default to a basic display adapter driver with limited resolution options. Updating or reinstalling the correct display driver should resolve the issue.
