Solve : Gateway MT3423 switched to Windows XP and no drivers?

Answer»

My Gateway MT3423 had Windows Vista.  After it crashed I decided to install Windows XP Pro.  Now I dont have any drivers for my wireless card and other devices on my Laptop.  Gateway only has the drivers for Vista.

ny suggestions or help?Yes. Reinstall Vista.just worked out a similar problem with an ACER laptop.
it didn't come with a os cd, so I re-format with one from my desktop, but then I didn't have any of the drivers. It took me all day (thankfully I had another computer beside me, so I could look for the appropriate drivers on the internet), but it's all good.
I think next time ... have the drivers ready before the re-format.

That is the most logical course of action. If there are no XP Drivers, put Vista back on.I have the same problem now with a gateway ML3190 and I can't put Vista back on because they never SENT me the disk and I am out of warranty. Does anyone know what I need to put back on or how I find out so I can manually search or how should I do this? Any help is so very much appreciated. Travel to the Gateway site and SEE if there are instructions on restoring the machine from it's hidden restore partition...
In future it's best to start your own Topic so it can recieve the proper attention...
