Gateway mt3422 Windows XP/7 Drivers and Details

I created this post on 2009, and today I was roaming on my old blog post to update outdated and broken links. I found out this post using mirror download link (long time ago it was up and running) and sadly it was  removed by the file hosting site. When I search on Gateway site the support or this model is not available, I fond the original download page from Acer panama but it is hard to access the content. This model is capable of running 32-bit operating system since it only support maximum 2GB of RAM (PC2-5300)

This chipset drivers will install the PCi and SMBUS controller, you need to install the first chipset drivers above first.
Download

Chipset* Installation:
Extract the driver file and don't run setup to install. You will see 2 folder which is windows vista32 (32-bit) and winvista64(64-bit), open the folder and run the setup located in that folder to install. Why? because it is originally windows Vista drivers, so the main setup only compatible with windows vista. So, we need to run specific setup in winvista folder in order to install it for windows XP. The original file is D20008-001-001, but the driver i posted above is the same version as the original and it is released by gateway.

Nvidia Geforce 2 Drivers For Windows 7

Nvidia Geforce2 was classified as legacy drivers which means Nvidia will  not released Windows 7 drivers for it. But the good news is there is a workaround to use Windows XP drivers and Install it in Windows 7. You just need to download Nvidia 71.89 (WHQL Certified) and install it manually from device manager. Some of you maybe not familiar with the installation method so I here is step by step installation process:

1. First, download Nvidia drivers version 71.89 from Nvidia website:
Download Link : http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_71.89.html

2. Then install the driver, it will resulting in error just ignore that error. The installation is just to extract the driver's file into C:\NVIDIA\Win2KXP\71.89 which we will use for the installation process.

3. Now open device manager by click start and type DEVMGMT.MSC and press enter.

4. Look for Display  Adapter, expand it by clicking the arrow and you will see your graphic listed as standard VGA (the standard VGA is the default graphics drivers installed, the name may varies depends on your current driver status).

Right click on it and select update driver


5. After that Update Driver Software,Select base on this order:
-Browse My computer for Drivers Software . (picture)
-Select let me pick from a device from my computer. (picture)
-Select Have Disk and then Select Browse

6. After click on "Browse" point to C:\NVIDIA\Win2KXP\71.89 and select nv4_disp.inf.

Select nv4_disp.inf

7. Continue with on screen instruction until installation finish and reboot.

This installation Support the following Graphics Devices:
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 100/200
NVIDIA Quadro2 MXR/EX
NVIDIA GeForce2 Integrated GPU
NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro
NVIDIA GeForce2 Ti
NVIDIA GeForce2 Ultra
NVIDIA Quadro2 Pro
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 460
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440-SE
NVIDIA Quadro4 550 XGL
NVIDIA Quadro NVS
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440SE with AGP8X
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000
The list is very long, so you can check all supported devices on the inf file.

Is there any other drivers I can use?
Yes, basically you can try with your original Windows XP Drivers or Other version released by Nvidia. This drivers I posted here is the most stable driver version I found so far. In some cases the original windows XP drivers provided by your PC manufacturer is better than this version. If you have problem after using this drivers like frequent shut down or unable to play games, just try with different version, it is recommended to look for version 81.XX and below (older).

How do I enable AERO?
Note that Geforce 2 is a legacy and XPDM drivers, there is no WDDM drivers for legacy Card. XPDM means the drivers unable to support AERO physically and just provide basic display like Windows XP. So to get AERO just download true transparency software (just google it) and you will get that glass look.

In Order to Configure TCP/IP You Must Install and Enable a Network Adapter Card

The error " In Order to Configure TCP/IP You Must Install and Enable a Network Adapter Card" occur because wrong network driver installed on your PC. This issue is common if you are using Intel Gigabit Network Adapter and it may happen for other LAN/Ethernet Controller such as Realtek or Broadcom. This error will appear whenever you try to:
  • Change IP Address
  • Change DNS Server
If you have this problem (like my friend who asking me about this today) you can solve it by using the following steps:

1. Download the right drivers for you Network adapter. If you are using Intel network adapter you can download the latest drivers from here:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProdId=3024

Just select the drivers base on your operating system (Windows XP/Vista/7 or 8 or others).

or

You can also let intel automatically detect the best drivers for you:
Link: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect

2. Next step is to uninstall the current drivers, go to device manager and look for network adapter. Right click on it and select uninstall. Here is an example:



3. We also need to uninstall Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software in control panel - add/remove program.

4. Now install the latest drivers and reboot.

Additional Reading - explanation.
My friend just installed windows 7 on a PC and he want to setup a local area connection. It is a HP Compaq dc7900 desktop PC which uses Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Controller. So I asked him to configure the IP adress but he's unable to do so because of this error. I asked him to look at the device manager and surprisingly it shows Intel 82567lm-3 network adapter. So, that's how I figure out the solution, wrong driver for the wrong adapter is the reason you are getting this error.

Just for you information, it is a normal situation where windows automatically determine which is the best drivers for your network card. So it install the driver during windows installation, but keep in mind that the default drivers not always the best. You need to find the latest drivers or download the original drivers from your manufacturer for the best performance and result. Why? latest drivers is more stable and keep up with the latest technology and the drivers from your manufacture is specifically design and tested for you specific model.
