Re: Gateway M285-G

I thought that vista contained the drivers. I don;t think that gateway has
posted anything yet. So do I just have to wait?

Re: Gateway M285-G

I'm not sure if this is your exact model, but checking the Gateway support
section for the M285-E G reveals:
http://support.gateway.com/support/d...am=Vista&st=kw You
might want to nose around under their driver downloads, using the keyword
"Vista." You can also use Gateway's "download assistant" from the URL above
to determine exactly your machine's needs. Otherwise, yes, you'll just have
to wait until the manufacturer supports Vista fully, if they are going to do
so.

Re: Gateway M285-G

Have you checked the Gateway web site for updates to the various drivers?
Until the manufacturers update the drivers to those which are
Vista-compatible, there are going to be issues.

Re: Gateway M285-G

That is up to each manufacturer and how they handle their product line.
Might give the support line a call and ask them. I remember back when the
Millennium Edition operating system came out, and Compaq waited about 10
months before offering an update on their laptop models to enable the
buttons which controlled the sound volume. Unless people clamor for a
solution from their manufacturer, they seem to assume no one needs it.
