Updating drivers helps keep a Toshiba computer up to date, whether it runs Windows XP or another operating system. Realtek produces audio chipsets for computer motherboards, and Toshiba uses Realtek audio drivers. Updating these drivers will improve the computer's performance and address problems that may have developed since the drivers were last installed. Updating a Realtek driver in Windows XP is an automated process after downloading the driver files.
Instructions
1. Navigate to the Realtek audio driver website (see Resources for the link).
2. Select "Software," then agree to the terms and conditions.
3. Click the download for the Windows XP driver and wait for the drivers to download.
4. Double-click the downloaded installer and click "Next" throughout the setup process to install the latest drivers.
5. Click "Finish" to restart the computer. After the computer has restarted, setup will be complete.
