    I've searched here, Acer's web site, and Google, but couldn't find a complete set of original drivers for the Gateway P-7805u. If you know where to find the drivers for Windows 7, please post a link. Thanks

    There were no official windows 7 driver sets. There are drivers on the gateway site however.

    The mic driver, from what I can see, is included with the sound card driver.

    I am not sure what is up with your browser that you can not get to the gateway site so I am not sure a direct link there would work either. PM me your email address and I'll forward it.

    I have given up on Gateway's support page. It's been useless ever since Windows 8's release. I just use Slimdrivers to update any outdated drivers after clean installing Windows 8.

    Thanks for mentioning slimdrivers & a special thanks to TANWare for sending me the much needed sound driver to get my microphone working again.
