from the information we are getting, i believe all your PC drivers are gone, what we can do id just redownload all your drivers and reinstall them again. do you have the installation drivers cd that came with your computer?? if not what is the make and model of your pcso you can download them...... let us know

[jeffery]

Hopefully thats why I have this Gateway Software storage...

[aero05]

ok..... but are the drivers there

[jeffery]

Yes it says all the drivers everything is filled up all system restoration kits sound blaster, microsoft windows suite,and intervideo dvd software

[aero05]

perfect... just put the cd in the cd drive and lets start.

1. go to my computer and right click it
2. select properties
3. on the system propetries window up on top, look for the HARDWARE tab and click it
4. look for the device manager button and click it.
5. if it is a driver proble you will see a yellow question mark next to the devices that need the driver.
just doble click any device with the yellow question mark.
6. on top of that window look for the driver tab and click it
7. click on the UPDATE DRIVER button
8. a hardware update wizard should appear asking you if you want to connect to the internet....
just click on No, not at this time and click next
9. select the install software automatically option and click on next, if it finds the driver just click on yes if it asks you to install the driver and then finish.
10 do the same for all the other yellow question marks on the device manager
