(OP) User ID: 740664 United States 09/22/2009 08:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | did you reinstall from the gateway cd or generic windows? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 774201sounds like your drivers are missing. check the device manager to see if it's complaining about missing drivers. yes they re-installed it from the CD "Livin' The Dream..."

I don't even know what it looks like... 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.
