I am having trouble with my wireless card to work. I have a Gateway 450 XL notebook running Windows XP SP2. Currently the drivers from device manager are disabled because when they are enabled, my computer goes to a blue screen of death on startup, right when the driver tries to activate the wireless card. Could someone please guide me through the process I need to take to download and install my newest drivers for my wireless card?

The case is most likely that the driver is corrupt. You may want to see if you can locate one on the Gateway website and make sure that it is the exact one for your model.

Is this a built-in wireless card?

If it keeps happening you may want to look into the manufacturers drivers or even some generic drivers if that doesn't work.

Yes it is a built in wireless card. My computer model is actually a Gateway DS 450X not a 450 XL as I had originally thought.

I went to the Gateway website and found a number of drivers. Which of these is the correct driver?
