I have a Gateway MX6025 laptop, no original CDs, no recovery partition exists, and its out of warranty...Gateway wont even tell me if the drivers on their website are verified as the required ones without a credit card...bummer for service.
The drivers I downloaded from Gateway for the Conexant modem and audio will not install..everything else is fine. Running the driver setup for both these devices fail...the modem one doesn't even come up with an install window. Device manager (WinXP SP3) shows the typical "?" for these devices with the note that drivers are not installed....but does recognize them as a modem and sound device. Manual drvr update using device manager fails with "...software for this device not found..." when location is pointed to the driver directory with Gateway's "official" drivers for this machine. This is spot-on for having the wrong driver; any suggestions?? Other place(s) to get drivers?
I have downloaded these drivers off Gateway multiple times on two PC's, so they are not corrupt at my end at least, hehe.
Its possible the devices are defective, but they both are detected and they both are Conexant; too much of a coincidence...sure acting like wrong drivers to me.
Thanks All!
