Need Restore CD for Gateway M275

[imported_xfiles4484]

I'm looking for a restore cd for a gateway M275 notebook. I just purchased this off of ebay, and cant get the tablet portion of this nice laptop to work without the drivers for the screen/tablet. The Gateway website isnt help in finding drivers for that one item...all the other drivers work.

I tried getting a cd from gateway customer service, but when i gave them the serial, they said it wasnt a valid serial number.

I got it for a great price, but just want to get a restore cd...dont care about a warranty.

Can anyone help me locate one?

Part Number 3501735

Thanks in advance!

Tried the "touchpad" and "button" drivers? IIRC, the M275 screen's functionality is integrated into one of them - touchpad, I think.

Yes, i tried those. Unfortunatly, they didnt work. I think they're some special driver, because I've been working at this thing for a week and a half, and still cant figure it out.

Are you installing WindowsXP tablet edition? I'm almost positive the drivers for the tablet itself are tied into the version of Windows your using and not a Gateway drivers cd.

Yes, I am installing XP Tablet Edition.

Still no luck.
