Answer» Hello,
In my device manager I have an unwanted exclamation point in a yellow circle in display adapters-video controllers (vga compatible). I just reinstalled xp on a gateway 5310s. I'm almost positive this is my motherboard (everything there looks exactly like my MB).

there are supposed drivers available for download here:

Instead of botching up my computer over an annoying exclamation point, I THOUGHT it would be wise to get help from experts. the computer is working fine right now. there is no indication that there is a problem (other than the exclamation point).
I have belarc advisor and everest installed, but I thought i'd WAIT until you asked for info, so as not to overload the thread with unneeded clutter. I will be keeping a close eye on this thread.
I really appreciate the help as always.
You're not required to install ANYTHING, but I assume you can only view VGA mode (640x480, 16colors). Your model is here: IntelVideo4308.exe Intel(r) Express Chipset Family Video Driver Version: 6.14.10.4308 Gateway 5310S Desktop Computer [Part #1008368] http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/getFile.asp?id=20224&dscr=Intel(r)%20Express%20Chipset%20Family%20Video%20DriverVersion:%206.14.10.4308&uid=301446962
Computer_Commando,
I installed the driver, rebooted, and was greeted by a desktop that was 1280x1024. Everything was so TINY, yet so clear. You were right on the money again.
Thank you again kind sir take care, and we'll see you again!I was wondering about this as well. I have the same thing going on, a bunch of yellow exclamations under display adapters in the device manager. Since it seemed to work out good for you, I think I will track down the drivers and see what happens. Thanks.
