[SOLVED] driver installation problem

gregunderwood · 03-09-2009, 03:37 PM

i have a Gateway MX7118 laptop which i have been having problems with. I had to insert the windows xp cd that came with the computer and re-install it just for it to work. Now that i have it working...none of the drivers seem to be working... no sound...no wireless adapter.. and others... i even plugged in an ethernet cord and still couldnt get online...any suggestions?

You have to re-install the drivers. You should have a disk for that, too, but if all else fails, go to the manufacturer's website, put in your service tag number, and download the drivers to a flash drive.

and welcome to the Forum

You can find your drivers here . . Install the Chipset drivers first, then the others in any order
