Driver issues, win 7

[aoser331]

Hello. I have a gateway GT5656 desktop which came with Vista OS. I recently upgraded to win7 ultimate. I then discovered that my drivers were missing for audio, etc. I went to gateway.com and downloaded then installed the audio drivers. This seemed fine but when I went to use the front mic jack I received a message saying that I needed to visit this site and get vista drivers...Is this correct? Shouldn't I get win 7 drivers?
TY...and if you can, please instruct me on where to get the proper drivers or necessary settings to make things work properly

You should get Win 7 drivers, but they likely are the same as for Vista.

Hello.
I know your problem has been solved, and that you also have a Gateway GT5656.
I was wondering if you could be able to upload an ISO of the recovery media for this computer to archive.org, as I have this machine as well, and am hoping to recover the original OS.
To do this, just open Gateway Recovery Center, and select Applications and Driver External Media, then select create an ISO image, and create a DVD ISO.
Thanks!
