I have a gateway md2614u laptop and recently installed windows xp because windows vista sucked. I have got the ethernet driver to work, but that is all! I have no sound and the video picture is very crappy. I tried downloading the drivers on gateways website. (i put the serial number in) but none of the drivers worked :4-dontkno when i try to install the video driver, it says that it failed to initialize and error. Sound drivers wont work either. Right now in device manager I have question marks on 2 pci devices, sm bus controller, video controller (vga compatible) and mass storage controller. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

scratch that. I just now got the sound working (thank god). Now I am just trying to the graphics driver to work. I've tried everything. the hardware id is

pci\ven_1002&dev_9612&subsys_0700107b&rev_00
the drivers keep saying "failed to initialize"
Hi. I don't think I installed the chipset. I looked on the site, but didn't find it. I used a vista sound driver and got it to work. They have one driver for windows, but it's for the bios. No luck on the video driver though. Where would I find the chipset?
The Chipset is definately not loaded, and that will stop the others. Did you look here and put in your serial number?
