Reinstalling device drivers
Device drivers are programs that control devices such as the computer display,
DVD drives, and modems. Drivers translate information between computer
devices and programs.
Drivers for your original convertible tablet PC hardware are installed at
Gateway. If you install a new device, you need to install the drivers provided
by the device manufacturer.
You should reinstall device drivers:
■ If directed to do so while troubleshooting
■ If you see a message indicating that there is a problem with a device driver
If you need to reinstall device drivers because you are directed to do so while
troubleshooting or if a message tells you that there is a problem with a device
driver, reinstall the device drivers by following the instructions below.
If you just reinstalled Windows XP, the device drivers were automatically
reinstalled.
To reinstall device drivers:
1 Insert the red Drivers and Applications CD into the DVD or DVD/CD-RW
drive. If the program starts automatically, go to Step 5.
- OR -
If the program does not start automatically, go to Step 2.
2 Click/Tap Start, then click/tap Run. The Run dialog box opens.
3 In the Open text box, type d:\runmenu.exe (where d is the drive letter of
your DVD or DVD/CD-RW drive).
4 Click/Tap OK.
Important If the drive you want to use is not in the modular bay, you
need to swap modules. For more information about
swapping modules, see “Changing modules” on page 110.
