Where are people getting their drivers?

[glricht]

isnt esx 4000 just the series of the machine and not the actual model? If so here is the gateway link I dont think they list ESX but instead list it as E-4xxx
If I am wrong than here is a better link =)

Here is another link just incase I am wrong twice lol

Yup, I was at the original link. They list an E-4100, but not the E-4000.

The 2nd link looks interesting as it has the MPC info, and the PC in question was an MPC.

Thanks.

I've used Drivermax with good success.

I just used it for the first time to find a tricky Shuttle PC wireless b module

dead handy

@edmar - I'll have to go back and re-visit DriverPacks, didn't realize it could be used for an individual driver install.

Just burn them all onto one cd, the video drivers unzip to massive size so if you want those one it will have to be dvd. Tell xp to search removable media and let it run, very rarely lets me down when I use it. Probably best to keep graphics drivers seperately since takes a lot longer otherwise.
As far as I know you have to have them on a cd/dvd, vista will search subfolders fine but xp won't.


(I keep an eye on thumb drive and just mount image virtually for xp, same difference).

I usually check Windows Update first because it's simple and is sometimes pretty good. The manufacturer is also a good place to look, sometimes Softpedia has drivers if you know what you want.

A couple of times http://support.thetechguys.com/Downloads has been useful; I used Unknown Devices to lookup the hardware.

Ironically I think I've worked on this exact model before. Purchased 3 of them to turn around and sell. I had so much trouble finding one specific driver I finally just sold them off without HD's as is. All I got from Gateway was that it was a MPC machine and not supported.

Driverpacks and Driverforge make a useful combo. However I do find you can end up with the wrong driver installed with driverpacks.
