For your convenience, Gateway offers many   support options.

**Updated Drivers**

One of the most popular features on our web site is our Driver Download
Library at http://www.gateway.com/support/product/drivers/index.shtml. There
comes a time in every computers life when a new BIOS, driver or software
patch is needed.  Usually, the only reason to update a driver is if the old
one will not work with a new piece of hardware or software. We recommend
that you contact our support staff if you are unsure as to what you are
downloading or installing.  Loading the wrong driver could have negative
effects to your computer. 

**Frequently Asked Questions**
