Reinstalling Vista on a Laptop

I got a new Gateway computer and after a month the hard drive crashed. So I send the comp back to Gateway and they replace the hard drive and send it back to me.

Little do I know that when they send it back, they dont put Vista back onto my comp. So I plug in the OS Disk that comes with the comp and reinstall Vista. The problem is that now my wireless connection isnt working and the screen resolution isnt what it was when it was bought.

I talked to Gateway and they sais that all the drivers do not get installed with the OS disk.

Can I get the drivers needed online (I have a different computer I can d/l from) or do I have to wait the 5 days to get the recovery cd that they are sending me?

 

Visit the Gateway website and look up your model, they should have drivers there.

Or look in your device manager for yellow exclamations under display adapters and Network adapters. See if your Wifi and Display are identified and listed. Then you can search the manufacturers for drivers/updates.
