Gateway T 1628 Drivers
I had in the past made a thread about my HP laptop, and putting Windows XP on it (dumping Vista), located, which appears to have been helpful. So I thought I would make another one.Recently, a friend had given me a Gateway T-1628 model laptop to remove Vista from, and UPgrade it to Windows XP.I had him look around the internet for details, and he said to try this thread for a Gateway T-1616 model (which has similar specs to the Gateway T-1628 he had given me):While that thread he had found here was very helpful to start off with. I found that it was just that, only a good start.For comparison, if you are curious, here are the specs on both the laptops:I found this Vista - XP transition MUCH more difficult than the HP I had previously done. Mostly due to the SigmaTel Audio Drivers, and always getting a (Code 10) message in device manager when trying out various versions of the drivers.Really, I must have tried OVER a dozen different combinations of audio drivers / versions, etc.In the end I got my friends system working 100% inside of XP Device Manager.All of the Windows XP Drivers I used are inside a rar file, which can be downloaded from here (80MB):I won't go into all the details that I did in the HP thread about doing an XP install.

There isn't a need really.All of the drivers I linked to were EASILY installed with either a Setup.exe command, OR the 'Upgrade Driver' button from the 'Driver' tab inside of the devices property window from Device Manager.Most of what you get inside the driver pack is in folders, numbered chronologically (z01 - z11). You should install them in that order.And there is probably a good chance that newer drivers exist other than what is included in this driver pack. If you find them, good for you, I have just included what worked for me.There are just a couple notes about what is inside that driver pack:WLAN Drivers / UtilityThere are two 'z03' folders.
Gateway T 1628 Drivers Driver
The first one will install the WLAN Utility, AND a much older driver.The second will ONLY install a much newer WLAN driver.The second z03 pack probably isn't needed unless you are having problems.Just note that the WLAN Utility is ONLY in the first z03 package. And having used several different WLAN Utilities, I find them MUCH more customizable than just the simple windoze one.Audio DriversUgh, I can't even describe the pain gone through just to get this working.1st!Be ABSOLUTELY sure to install the Microsoft Windows Update / Fix kb888111 (folder z05) BEFORE installing the other audio (& modem) drivers.2nd:Do the 'Upgrade Driver' method for the 'ATI HDMI Audio' (z06) device inside Device Manager.
It is one of the yellow? Unrecognized devices inside Device Manager.There are probably at least two of those Unrecognized devices listed.If Windows doesn't auto-detect the first one of the Unrecognized devices you try and do the 'Driver Upgrade' for. Stop, and try the next one.3rd:SigmaTel (IDT?) Audio Drivers. This one took the most effort to get working. But after finally finding the right driver set for this device, it was just a simple run the setup.exe program for the SigmaTel Audio drivers (z07).Direct Application Launch ButtonThis driver pack (z09) is more just to get rid of the final 3 unknown devices out of device manager. I really don't think it actually does much. Hi Dave,Since you have so much Energy.
And it appears you know EXACTLY wheere to find the stuff. I wonder if you have the time to find out the Drivers for Gateway M-6862 see specs below. Plus the Drivers to use a USB Bluetooth with this Unit in XP.Gateway M-6862 SpecificationsPlease Note that the Specs says that the Graphic Card is'ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 2600 XT PCI Express Graphics512 MB GDDR3 Dedicated Memory ' HOWEVER, in the laptop box it says it is only a 'ATI HD 2600 with 512 MB GDDR3' and not a XT.THANKS,G! The Dave, Great job!I have been reading (and trying) several others ideas from about 10 different sites and forums trying to get this machine (a Gateway T-1628) up and running on XP and had zero luck getting everything to work 100%. Well until I found yours that is! Thanks Bro.Yesterday morning at 7:30 I popped in an XP Pro SP2 installation disk and rebooted my 1628. About 35 minutes later I installed The Dave's drivers following his directions.
Wouldn't ya know it everything yes I said EVERYTHING in the device manager is 100% known and working! The machine is very fast and enjoyable to use now. I did notice though that windows was forcing the processor to stay at 100% all the time.Like I said this was not my first attempt at getting this to work with XP so I searched again and found a guy had found the following drivers from AMD. AMD Turionextract zip file and save contents into a directory on your zip drive named '02 AMD Turion'AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology Driver Version 1.3.2.0053 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64) - Allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination to match the instantaneous user performance need. This package is a user friendly localized software installation of the driver designed for end-users.
This driver supports AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86 and x64 Editions. AMD Dual-Core OptimizerSave file into a directory on your USB stick called '04 AMD Dual-Core Optimizer'AMD Dual-Core Optimizer - The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized. I just wanted to post back to say I was not able to get the slipstreamed disk to work.
Oh well not like its too hard to install a few things manually. However I did finally fork over the 20 bucks to buy an HDMI cable and tried that out last night.
First let me say the HDMI does indeed worrk in Windows XP Pro SP3 with these drivers and this setup.Now let me continue to say this was my first Hi Definition experience and all I could say was.! I have really been missing out! It looks better than a standard DVD by far!This has driven me to want to build my own HTPC so I can continue to watch my favorite shows in hi-def.
