A lot of programs i use wont run in vista.I have herd every answer emaginable Besst Buy Geeks said no Gateway said maybe the retailer said call gateway what is the correct answer.I was told i will need drivers but my note book might not have them available

DLoad and run Everest Home and you will have a list of every component you need XP drivers for...

Then travel to Gateway's site and see whats available for XP.

You should have no problem at all...

p.s. Also make sure doing this will not void your warranty.

if possible copy the present Vista drive etc onto another hard drive in case you want to try Vista again later, or if there is a problem with the warranty you can restore it . it will be worth it believe me.

I'm afraid on a notebook this could get expensive...
