Hi Paula,
I started typing out specific directions for you to set up and area on
your hard drive to store driver files and then on how to select the
different drivers you need, but I ran into a bit of a snag (and then I found
a much easier method you can use).
I went through all of the motions to make sure you wouldn't have any
problems, but I ran into one myself. It seems the Gateway site is having
problems serving up any files. Instead of starting the download I selected,
it just sent me back to the main page where I started. There is a glitch
somewhere that makes it impossible to get files right now and it doesn't
matter whether I use Firefox or Internet Explorer in the attempt.
the good news is that they have their own Gateway Update link that
appears to work similarly to Windows Update. If that's true, their own
server can determine exactly what driver files you need and update your
system automatically. I'm not running a Gateway system, so I have no way to
test it. If you want to give it a go yourself, here's the link they
provide. Let us know if it seems to work as advertised. If it doesn't
work, we'll have to wait until they fix their server and do it the way I had
originally planned.

Actually, theirs is much longer, so I shortened it a bit. :O)
Peace,
