Hello everyone! I'm a young musician using older computers exclusively for all of my projects (my songs are sequenced as MIDI files). I generally use my HP Pavilion a1610n running Windows XP with a Sound Blaster Live!, but I'm also enjoying the opportunity to use some of my much older computers for more professional purposes.
I picked up a Gateway Solo 9300 Pro yesterday and decided to install Windows Me on it. I already have a Toshiba laptop running Windows 98SE so I figured I'd keep things fresh by running a different version of Windows on the Gateway. Anyway, the installation was successful and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Windows Me installed drivers for all of my hardware.....sort of...
The media keys for the CD/DVD player don't work (they didn't work on the previous owner's copy of XP either) and I have no idea where I could find the appropriate drivers. I can't seem to find much info on this specific model either. Unfortunately, Gateway's website doesn't have many older device drivers. Also, I'm pretty sure the ATI RAGE Mobility 8MB driver that Windows Me installed is not the latest version, but I'm not sure which ATI driver pack to download for my laptop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated 😀
