| 275976 | 2004-09-27 00:59:00 | I have a Gateway Essential desktop computer. I have reformatted the hard drive with the Operating System Backup CD Version '98' but it didn't restore the display driver. I only have 16 colour. Can anyone suggest where I can find the drivers for the Gateway Essential. Cheers |

| 275977 | 2004-09-27 01:07:00 | http://www.gateway.com ? Click on downloads down the bottom. U can either put in a serial # or to the right Get Gateway update and run it see what it picks up to update. |

| 275979 | 2004-09-27 01:29:00 | I would send an email from the gateway site. There are lots of sound drivers there. BUT its which 1 you download! | Spacemannz (808) | ||

| 275981 | 2004-09-27 01:32:00 | Your pretty much screwed, gateway pulled out of NZ a while back now. When gateway left so did the support. I had a similar problem a while back and struggled to find driver until i found what the model was called in America. Most of the model sold here were also sold in the states just under a different name, thus once you know what it was called you can use the america site. Otherwise you could use a program such as Everest to find out what graphics controller you have and then download the drivers from the manufactuers website. |

| 275985 | 2004-09-27 02:27:00 | > if you ever need to find a driver try > www.driverguide.com Driverguide is good for really hard to find drivers but i have found that drivers for the more common hardware are often outdated or unstable. Its best to have a look on the manufactuers website first to get the latest driver, otherwise a good ole fashion google search works wonders. |
