Ok. So my Gateway laptop got recently hit by a virus that killed off all of windows 7 services and screwed the whole system up. Long story short, i had to reinstall my operating system.
When i reinstalled it, i found almost all of the necessary drivers on gateway.com's support page except one. I wasn't able to find the one driver (program ?) that shows icons on the screen of the computer every time i do something with my hotkeys. Like whenever i turn the touchpad on or off or whenever i turned the sound louder it used to show an icon. It doesn't now, because i have a clean install of windows 7 and i don't have a program which i'm guessing is called eBoard.exe or Gateway Multifunction Keyboard. I ran into one post on Gateways homepage, which said that the program should be on the recovery disk, that came with the computer... Which i apparently don't have or i wouldn't be writing this text. Looking through some posts, i also came across that eboard.exe is a program called EMachines multimedia keyboard manager. If you could help me find this, i would be very thankful.
Searched a lot of webpages for this file, all of them were very suspicious looking and probably virus sites trying to lure me into their trap.
I found that it is possible to buy a Gateway recovery disk for this exact model of computers from Gateway itself, but since its a USA based brand, they only ship to the USA. Or so i understood it. If i'm wrong please correct me. (Im from Eastern Europe, Latvia, so thats not really an option).
I also found that there is a recovery partition on my computer, which can be somehow activated by pressing F11 button when the Gateway logo shows before Windows has started loading itself. Tried it two times, failed. The only thing i could get out of my machine was a loud system beep (probably for pressing F11 too damn many times) which scared the s*** out of me in two oclock in the morning. So i haven't chased that lead any further.
So could you help me find this mystical installation file, so i could have all of the keyboard's and my computer's functionality back?
The computer's model is Gateway NV55C
