So the drivers would not already be on the Windows XP installation disk?

not always especially if netbook came with win7. i had to reload a customer's netbook that came with xp sp3 pre-installed with vista as she did not make recovery disk(s) of her xp. had a hell of a time to find her web cam driver as that laptop came with xp or win7 but not vista, found the driver for it tho.

thanks, I went to Gateway's website and they seem to have some drivers for XP just hope I can find the right ones for my netbook. Should have bought a netbook with XP already on it. I didn't know I would have so many problems with Windows 7. I couldn't even get Skype to install correctly. Other program it didn't like is Daemon Tools(virtual CD drive program) thanks again, Roy

I haven't had any problems with DAEMONTools or Skype in Win7, not in the 64-bit version anyway. DAEMONTools says it's incompatible but I haven't had any problems using it.

I have a week and will still be able to return this netbook. Want to see if I can get these programs to load. I can't even get Skype and Daemon Tools to install correctly. I put the installer program on a flash drive and then transfer it to my netbook and then try to install the program but for some reason it doesn't like my computer. Thought of trying a crossover ethernet cable and see if I will have better luck that way.

That is weird; I can also confirm that both of those apps (latest versions) work perfectly with Win7x64. I know windows bitches when you install daemon tools lite, but just ignore that...it works perfectly fine; you don't even need to restart.


Oh, you did turn of UAC and restart before trying the installs?

What is UAC? I did finally get Skype to load but had to go and download directly to my netbook from website for it to work. I am still having problems with Daemon Tools but I may and try re-downloading that one to see if it will work. Funny has no problems loading on my Dell with XP.

UAC is UserAuthorizationControl. a popup shows on screen when you are attempting to run or install a program. can turn it off in the user account panel in control panel.
