| 136144 | 2003-04-16 02:30:00 | Why are file names for drivers and pretty much everything else loaded on my computer labelled as gibberish? I have tried to find a sound card driver to copy to floppy 'cos I will put the card in another machine and cannot for the life of me find the correct file(s) under drivers. How do I do it? And why should it be so hard? |

| 136145 | 2003-04-16 02:37:00 | Because. :D Most names of drivers, etc, fit into the "8.3" filename format. This is for historical and other reasons. Trying to fit version identification into them can cause names to be a bit unintuitive. The "best" way is to keep all driver disks in a nice orderly filing system. :D The easiest way is to use google to search for "<make and model> driver download". |
