Device drivers are programs that control devices such as the computer display, 
DVD or recordable CD drives, and modems. Drivers translate information 
between computer devices and programs.

Drivers for your original computer hardware are installed at Gateway. 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

If you need to reinstall device drivers because you are directed to do so while 
troubleshooting or if a message tells you that there is a problem with a device 
driver, reinstall the device drivers by completing the following task.

If you just reinstalled Windows XP or Windows 2000, the device drivers were 
automatically reinstalled.

If you are not comfortable with the procedures covered in this section, seek 
help from a more experienced computer user or a computer service technician.

Insert the red Gateway CD into the DVD or recordable CD drive. If the 
program starts automatically, go to Step 5.

- OR -

If the program does not start automatically, go to Step 2.

Click 

, then click 

. The Run dialog box opens.

If the drive you want to use is not in the modular bay, you 
need to swap modules. For more information about 
swapping modules, see “Changing drives” on page 246.
