My hard drive died, so after installing XP on a new hard drive I find myself without any drivers. I have been able to find one for my touch pad. I just do not know which drivers I need to install or where to get them.

I believe I need a video driver because scrolling through the internet and lists in general are very sluggish. The Device Manager indicates a "!" next to the video controller - something must be up.

Here is my current profile obtained from Belarc Advisor:

Go to the Gateway site and select support. Enter your serial number. This will give you your configuration and will tell you what drivers are available for your video chip. Download and install.

Are these the drivers for the computer you have? Gateway 450S Notebook

As per your system serial number, correct drivers are here.
Download and install the keyboard drivers as well.
Belarc has mis-identified the keyboard because the proper drivers are not installed, which is were it takes it's info from. The intel pro 100VE network adapter driver is also incorrect but if it works, leave it alone.
