Reinstalling device drivers
Device drivers are programs that control devices such as the computer display,
CD or DVD drives, and modems. Drivers translate information between
computer devices and programs.
Drivers for your original computer hardware are installed at Gateway. If you
install a new device, you need to install the drivers provided by the device
manufacturer.
You should reinstall device drivers:
■ If directed to do so while troubleshooting
■ If you see a message indicating that there is a problem with a device driver
If you need to reinstall device drivers in Windows XP because you are directed
to do so while troubleshooting or if a message tells you that there is a problem
with a device driver, reinstall the device drivers by following the instructions
in “To reinstall device drivers:” on page 209.
If you just reinstalled Windows XP, the device drivers were automatically
reinstalled.
If you are not comfortable with the procedures covered in this section, seek
help from a more experienced computer user or a computer service technician.
To reinstall device drivers:
1 Insert the red Drivers CD into the CD or DVD drive.
2 If this is the first time you have inserted the CD, accept the End User
License Agreement (EULA) by clicking
Yes, I accept it, then clicking
Continue.
3 If you are prompted to select your Gateway computer type, click
Personal / Home Use, then click Continue.
