TECHNICAL QUESTION FROM A NOOB
Ok, after someone reformatted my computer, i have no mic...now this morning, my USB's have decided to quit working...I am severely technically challenged about computers...

is there an easy way to find out what is wrong???
I go to the Gateway site and I might as well be reading Russina!!!

Thanks in advance to any and all responses!!!

Re: TECHNICAL QUESTION FROM A NOOB
did you reinstall from the gateway cd or generic windows?

sounds like your drivers are missing.

check the device manager to see if it's complaining about missing drivers.

I don't know what kind of motherboard I have, and they have a list of about 20 for this brand (gateway)...

how do I find what motherboard? I don't even know what it looks like...

 Quoting: refugee13



Usually, your motherboard will have a revision number- ie: "Rev. 1.0" or "Rev. 2.0", but it's not out of the question that you might have to open up your p.c. to have a look at the actual motherboard to check which revision it is.

It will figure out everything for you including the motherboard and it will hook you up with all needed drivers with a click of a button.
