My Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit Laptop Freezes.

Where did you get the drivers from?

From gateway.com

Were they Windows 7 specific drivers or Vista drivers? Would you mind posting the model number of your laptop please :)

They were Windows 7 specific drivers.

Model Number: LT2030u

Is this the file you grabbed: Atheros Wireless Network Driver Version 8.0.0.225 ?

Or this one: http://support.gateway.com/support/d...on%208.0.0.205

The file names seem to be the same, but I got this one instead. I entered my serial number, which gave me the specific files that work for this laptop.

Atheros Wireless Network Driver.

When you installed the updated drivers, did you uninstall the one you had first? Or just let it install over them? :)

I just let it install over them. I'm guessing I should have uninstalled them first, shouldn't have I?

It's not necessary usually to uninstall first unless there's an issue :) Which there appears to be. Wanna give that a try?

So I should uninstall them, then install the updated one, correct?
