Quickly Find A List Of Installed Drivers In Vista

There is a quick and easy way to find a list of installed drivers in Vista. Instead of trying to do an exhaustive search and inventory on your computer, you can simply run the ‘driverquery’ command from the command prompt. The output lets you see all the drivers that are currently installed on the computer.

To run the command, open the Command Prompt and type ‘driverquery’. The output will present you with a list of installed drivers. There are also a number of parameters you can run with the command that includes:

• /FO - Specifies the type of output to display. Valid values to be passed with the switch are “Table,” “List,” and “CSV.”
• /V - Displays detailed information. Not valid for signed drivers.
• /SI - Provides information about signed drivers.
• /? - Displays Help information.
