    Okay, dumb question. I just installed win7 x64 bit and have installed all the drivers on the above link on page 1 except for:

    Cardreader
    Fingerprint(don't have reader)
    Audio_Conexant
    VGA_Nvidia_N10PGE1_v8.15.11.8652_7a.zip

    The last 2 I felt were different versions of the same thing that I downloaded and already installed.
    Do I need to installed ALL of the drivers on this page or am I okay in just installing the ones that I have until I have a problem? Thanks in advance. :)

    migrated over to Win7. Drivers installed automatically. Found out that gateway released Win7 drivers. Tried them out. With regard to your query:-

    - Cardreader: updates the O2 media reader to newer driver version.
    - Fingerprint: 7805u doesnt have a biometric reader like you said
    - Audio Conexant: updates to newer driver version.
    - VGA_Nvidia: didnt bother with this one; downloaded driver straight from NVIDA website (186.81).

    No problems encountered at all.
