hello
i recently uninstalled mass storage controller, and i thought i found the right driver, but it dident work...

the removal steps say this.. (copy/pasted):

Removal

1. From the Start menu, click Control Panel.

2. In Control Panel, click Uninstall a Program.

3. In the Programs and Features window, select Texas Instruments Intel Matrix Storage Manager, and then click Uninstall/Change.

4. In the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.

5. Follow all onscreen instructions to complete the removal.

there is nothing in the remove/uninstall programs that says texas instruments or anything about intel matrix storage manager, and any search i do on the computer comes up with nothing...

i downloaded this driver from the gateway site..

Maybe it isn't that it's not working but rather it never completely installed and that's why it doesn't show in Add/Remove Programs

why won't my laptop work?

Check in Device Manager to see if the Intel drivers are installed there. If so, right click on them and select "uninstall".
