    I have Gateway MX8741 Laptop that originally came with Vista. I reformatted and installed windows xp on it. Now, i can't find any ethernet drivers for windows xp for this machine. Gateway said i would have to pay to speak to "Answers by Gateway" to get a third party solution, which is BS.
    I tried to install the vista network drivers but they did not work.
    Wifi and sound drivers work.
    Also, can't seem to find video drivers for this machine either.
    if anyone knows anything that could help me, i'd really appreciate it.

    those are for the vista network and video drivers. i've been to that site before and tried installing the vista drivers and had no luck on the windows xp machine.

    That is not the wired driver, i tried that already.

    at this point, i already went back to vista and i'm just gonna stick with that for now.

    Thanks for your help.
