Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Verify the driver matches the Gateway 400VTX’s Windows version and 32-bit/64-bit architecture, then run the installer as administrator. Temporarily disable antivirus and disconnect extra USB peripherals.
• Device not detected: Install the chipset driver first and reboot before audio, network, or graphics drivers. Check Device Manager for unknown devices and confirm onboard components are enabled in BIOS.
• Version conflicts or instability: Uninstall any existing OEM or Windows Update driver for the same component, reboot, then install the Gateway package. Avoid mixing drivers from other Gateway models; use System Restore if needed.
