Ok I got Vista installed but a new peoblem arises. Sound....

I finally got my Vista to install thanks to Jane. Now I put in the
Applications and Drivers disc and the Sound driver part s greyed out. So now
I have no sound. Please help music is my life! =[

Hello Zachary,

Glad to know that link helped you

What soundcard do you have? You will probably need to go to the
manufacturers website to get the Vista drivers for it.

Try the Gateway support site first for your laptop audio drivers.

Ya, last night I found links to the Gateway ones. They didn't seem to do
anything. This morning I tried the older drivers they had up and it said it
wasn't the right driver and then randomly my sound came on. I mean I am not
computer illiterate but stuff like this puzzles me.
