Go to the Gateway site and look for the latest Video drivers for the system. Go here
http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.asp and put in your Serial number
for a list of downloads. Some companies still use the type that you have to make a
boot floppy and then boot to it. Others are making easier to use .exe files.
