    exclamation point device manager-display
    « on: April 03, 2011, 10:35:33 AM »
    Hello,

    In my device manager I have an unwanted exclamation point in a yellow circle in
    display adapters-video controllers (vga compatible).
    I just reinstalled xp on a gateway 5310s.  I'm almost positive this is my motherboard (everything there looks exactly like my MB).

    there are supposed drivers available for download here:

    Instead of botching up my computer over an annoying exclamation point, I thought it would be wise to get help from experts.  the computer is working fine right now.  there is no indication that there is a problem (other than the exclamation point).

    I have belarc advisor and everest installed, but I thought i'd wait until you asked for info, so as not to overload the thread with unneeded clutter.  I will be keeping a close eye on this thread.

    I really appreciate the help as always.

    You're not required to install anything, but I assume you can only view VGA mode (640x480, 16colors).
    Your model is here:
    IntelVideo4308.exe
    Intel(r) Express Chipset Family Video Driver Version: 6.14.10.4308
    Gateway 5310S Desktop Computer [Part #1008368]

      Computer_Commando,

      I installed the driver, rebooted, and was greeted by a desktop that was 1280x1024.  Everything was so tiny, yet so clear.  You were right on the money again.

      Thank you again kind sir ;D
      take care, and we'll see you again!

        I was wondering about this as well. I have the same thing going on, a bunch of yellow exclamations under display adapters in the device manager. Since it seemed to work out good for you, I think I will track down the drivers and see what happens. Thanks.
        I am considering buying a new computer. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I check out hhgregg? I have never been there. Thanks.
