Device is the microphone on the lid (I think), no idea here, neither the Vista driver works.

3 unknown devs are buttons. manually reintalled buttons driver from vista and they work partially (mute, play, pause, stop, ffw, rew work OK with MediaPlayer 11, Music, DVD and "arrow" button are dead)

One update on Mic driver. What I did I just backed up both HD Audio drivers from Vista using Driver Magician. Then I recovered those drivers in XP also for the last missing Audio device. The status changed, now it is listed in the group of audio thing and the system just puts exclamation to it with comment "device could not be started". BUT. I tried Skype and the mic works! The only thing I have to do is set up the proper gain to avoid excessive noise on the mic input. I called to my family in Europe yesterday without any problem. I assume this microphone is still missing some drivers for it's digital features, but it works for me in Skype, that all I need.

The audio device on high definition audio bus refers to the hdmi audio output. If your windows sound works fine and if you won't be using HDMI to hook ur laptop up to an HDTV, it's safe to Disable this device. Since i have a Gateway t-1628 and those are the same devices i have left but my computer works great with all 4 of those "unknown devices" Disabled. I would like to know what those 3 Unknown Devices" are though... They said they are Microsoft ACPI Compliant Embedded Controller. Actually i realized that i don't have the modem driver installed. Where can i find that driver? I have 5 devices disabled and my computer works great. There's One thing that ticks me off the is the GPU Core and memory clocks Are supposed to be running at 400mhz Core clock and 200mhz Memory clock and in GPUZ it says the core is at 57mhz and memory is at 401mhz. PC Wizard 2008 says that the GPU core clock is running at 171mhz and the memory is at 401mhz... Here's is what PC Wizard says. I copied it. This GPU Core speed is not at it's Proper Speed, Therefore Your NOT getting proper 3d performance as what it's Meant to be running at... So ur getting Significantly Reduced 3d performance out of ur Graphics Card. Please use GPUZ and PC Wizard 2008 to see what ur GPU is running at and Post what it says Please! THANK YOU By The Way i think a VIDEO BIOS UPDATE Might fix these clock problems, where could i find a new Video Bios update for this chipset/ graphics adapter? Also GPUZ and PC Wizard 2008 say that my chipset is the RS690M, But wikipedia says that the RS690M would have the Radeon X1250 but my Laptop says it's the Radeon X1270... Is there something i missing? Anywho even if it was an x1250 it should be at 350mhz. PLEASE, Anyone have any insight on this odd "situation/ conclusion"?

GPU Information :
Number of GPU : 1
Codename : RS690M
Memory Type : SDRAM
GPU Frequency : 171.84 MHz - [initial : 400 MHz]
Memory Frequency GPU : 400.96 MHz - [initial : 200 MHz]

About two weeks ago I bought a Gateway T-1628 when it was on sale at Bestbuy while I was on vacation. So far I am pretty pleased with its performance value. Its by far the cheapest PC I have bought to date yet its still suprisingly fast for the price I paid. Not being a fan of Vista took me on an Oddyssey seeking out how to downgrade from Vista to XP. This is what allowed me find this great forum. Here are my questions:

First I am curious if the issue occurs in Vista too but according to Catalyst mine is 400 core 200 mem which is what its supposed to be at. Has anyone else seen the issue? Has it been confirmed in performance tests? Does the 3d absolutely suck with the t-162* with XP installed or is it still as good or better than with vista installed? And finally has it been fixed or are you just dealin' with it?

For that, consider chatting live with a support rep.

Are you looking for drivers? If so, you can download those from the link I provided.

This is for a Gateway T-1628, right?
