Gateway m 6846 support drivers#
I imagen that if I could get a specific list of what the hardware is in this computer, finding XP drivers shouldn't be all to hard. Shit never works for me so i just started over.īut thats all I know about the drivers thus far. Though I didn't try "fixing" windows instalation or whatever. Soooo it maybe for the ram or something, maybe duel processors? GOT ME! Just don't go messing with it unless you know what it is, or you are ready to reinstall that windows XP and start all over again.

#4 SM Bus Controller (Interesting one! I beleive applied the driver for a generic Card Reader driver that install of windows XP never worked again. hell it could be the DVD player COULD BE ANYTHING?!? and why the hell doesn't work then? anyways, i guess it could be the 4 card reader on the side. which got me if that would be considered a CPI device. but thinking about it I'm sure it's an 'intigrated' SC. #3 PCI Device (I have no idea what this is, the sound card doesn't work at all though it says i have an audio device and legacy audio drivers. Which should be pretty nice w/ xp and older games! got me, but it's more than just 128 dedicated to it, and it said it in vista also. *bios tweak for anyone who goes "nu-uh" or whathave you, i guess when you dedicate 128, it still self dedicates 64mb to it, or some shit like that. #2 Video Controller (it says VGA compatible, and I find it odd that it works fine at 1024*768 32bit, w/o knowing what the hell kinda gpu it is, and also lets me dedicate over 200mb of ram to it* and it tells me it takes no resources as it is not properly installed, though task manager shows the differance in ram) #1 Ethernet Controller (I'm guessing this is like the CAT-5 100/1000mb but since I've gone wireless I don't exactly worry about this finding this driver though it would be nice to have just in case.) Ī list of unknown "installed hardware" is as follows : I wish those drivers came via some sort of driver file rather than an exe. but when you try to isntall the XP ATI drivers it always says "unknown card" or something like that. The 'track pad' works automaticly, as does the graphics card. The XP drivers for the wirelesscard are the same Realtek wireless network adapter drivers a majority of other gateway M class/series laptops using XP would have. trying to get this thing rolled back to XP over the last few days has not been a treat. Hey man, I feel ya, i just typed a big letter in another forum, so forgive me for some cut and paste action to get the word out on this deelimma. anyone know such model numbers?Īllen RE: XP Drivers for a Gateway w/Vista? StumpedTechy (MIS) 1 Feb 07 12:01 Oh, one idea I had is that if there are similar models that were released like last month, but with XP instead of Vista, their support pages should have the proper drivers.

This page has a list of the components and part numbers and stuff, but it's all integrated chips and stuff, so I can't download the drivers from the manufacturers' own sites. There's an integrated media card reader that would be nice to get working, too.ĭoes anybody have ideas on how I could track these down, given the lack of drivers on the Gateway website? I still need drivers for my modem, sound card, ethernet, and wifi controllers. The video issue is easy enough, and I got ATI Catalyst drivers for the xpress 200m inside.īut beyond that, this is proving to be a real headache. So I want to go back to XP Pro, but I can't find the right XP drivers for many of the devices, as Gateway seems to only support Vista for their new models.
I played around with it a lot yesterday, but I came to the conclusion that Vista just isn't solid enough for my needs yet (though the eye candy is definitely cool!).
I have a Gateway MT3705 laptop, purchased yesterday at Best Buy, which came with Vista preloaded.
