Reinstalling device drivers
Device drivers are programs that control devices such as the tablet PC display,
drives, and modems. Drivers translate information between computer devices
and programs.
Drivers for your original 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 completing the following task.
