A device driver is a piece of software that tells the operating system (Windows XP, Windows Vista, etc) how to communicate with a piece of hardware. For example, Windows XP is installed on different hardware depending on whether the computer is made by HP, Dell, Sony, etc and so in order for Windows to work with all of the hardware, it needs a piece of software that tells it what commands it can give and what kind of responses it will receive back.
