Re: Is there a video controller driver for the 506GR...
The 506GR has an old Intel (Augsburg) motherboard, and onboard video. The hardware is from 2005, and has no support for Windows 7. Unfortunately, you will need to upgrade.

The sound card is part of the motherboard and you cannot install another sound card. You can download the audio driver from the Gateway WEB site. You can download the device drivers for your model Gateway laptop from this WEB site. Make sure you select your model laptop and the correct Windows drivers.

There have been alot of problems with Windows 7 and older software compatabilty. I have conflicting info on what audio you system has. One says Realtek: http://support.gateway.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?partNumber=4367 This site supports up to Windows Vista but, in some cases Vista will work with Win 7. You can also try here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/DOWNLOADS/ Another said Intel, which you can try here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx?iid=subhdr+downloads With Intel, click on the "run Intel Driver Update", and let Intel scan your system, because they will let you know if your sound is theirs or not. What it may come down to is, if you can't find a driver, and, want Windows 7, you may have to upgrade to a sound or graphics card. Good luck, Dave
