Reinstalling device drivers
Device drivers are programs that control devices such as monitors, CD drives,
and modems. Drivers translate information between computer devices and
programs.
Drivers for your original computer hardware are installed at Gateway. Also,
if you just reinstalled Windows, the device drivers were automatically
reinstalled. However, 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
To reinstall device drivers:
1 Place Disc 2 of the Gateway PC Recovery CD into your CD drive. The
Gateway PC Recovery program starts. Go to Step 5.
- OR -
If the program does not start automatically, go to Step 2.
2 Click
Start, then select Run. The Run dialog box opens.
3 In the
Open text box, type D:\RUNMENU.EXE (where D is the drive letter
of your CD drive).
4 Click
OK. The Gateway PC Recovery program starts.
5 Click the
Reinstall tab.
6 Select the device drivers to reinstall.
7 Click
Install.
8 Follow any additional on-screen instructions.
Depending on the driver you are reinstalling, you may only need to
restart your computer to complete the installation. However, if a setup
wizard opens when you restart your computer, follow the on-screen
instructions.
