ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a monitoring module which periodically transmits a message to a device driver which controls a device controller in accordance with an instruction issued by a program executed by a CPU to drive a peripheral device, and initializes the device driver when a response to the message is not issued received. The information processing apparatus further includes a setting module which sets an interval of transmission of the message based on a predetermined rule.
