Hello,
I spent some time trying to find the drivers for my W350A Gateway laptop. Gateway support sucks. So after an hour of searching I finally found the correct drivers for my wireless and decided to share just in case anyone else needs to install them.

Cool Tools, How to fix your CD/DVD Drive in Windows Vista
Windows Vista has a lot of driver problems because many drivers are embedded into the SYSTEM 32 folder and once they are corrupt they are impossible to fix. I had major problems in the past with network drivers and there was no solution but to reformat.
Thankfully there was a solution to my last DVD drive problem, thanks to a cool tool developed by Microsoft called Microsoft Fix It. It is available here:

Internet Explorer 8 ( IE8 ) SUCKS ASS!
Almost half of the sites I go to are not compatible with IE8. You know, you're suppose to develop new software tools with less errors and not more of them!!! Internet explorer is even giving me issues on my shut down,-it's annoyingly very slow to shut down! I found that out by going to Control Panel/System and Maintenance/ Performance and Information Tools/ Advanced Tools ...if there are issues...you'll see a link under Performance issues: "programs that are causing Windows to shut down slowly." click on that and it will show you what programs are giving you issues. There's one for start up problems too. IE8 also causes networking blackouts. I get kicked off the internet and then all my stupid browsers don't work after the blackouts, but my damn IM's are fine!???...I have to restart my f***** computer all the GD F*** TIME!!!-(angry about that one) I downloaded google chrome. I'm loving it so far. I really like how it's simple and that i can search from the address bar. Even though I've set chrome as my new default. IE8 Is still giving me problems. IE is built into Windows and that's probably why it's given me so many problems. I almost want to go back to Windows XP...ALMOST!-because my other PC with XP isn't having these same issues. I'm going to continue to find a solution to my problem. Any suggestions?

April Fools and $250,000.00 Dollar Bountys' - Beware the Malware!!
Article by:
Christopher Null: The Working Guy
Alerts Beware Conficker worm come April 1
In an event that hits the computer world only once every few years, security experts are racing against time to mitigate the impact of a bit of malware which is set to wreak havoc on a hard-coded date. As is often the case, that date is April 1.
Malware creators love to target April Fool's Day with their wares, and the latest worm, called Conficker C, could be one of the most damaging attacks we've seen in years.
Conficker first bubbled up in late 2008 and began making headlines in January as known infections topped 9 million computers. Now in its third variant, Conficker C, the worm has grown incredibly complicated, powerful, and virulent... though no one is quite sure exactly what it will do when D-Day arrives.
Thanks in part to a quarter-million-dollar bounty on the head of the writer of the worm, offered by Microsoft, security researchers are aggressively digging into the worm's code as they attempt to engineer a cure or find the writer before the deadline. What's known so far is that on April 1, all infected computers will come under the control of a master machine located somewhere across the web, at which point anything's possible. Will the zombie machines become denial of service attack pawns, steal personal information, wipe hard drives, or simply manifest more traditional malware pop-ups and extortion-like come-ons designed to sell you phony security software? No one knows.
Conficker is clever in the way it hides its tracks because it uses an enormous number of URLs to communicate with HQ. The first version of Conficker used just 250 addresses each day -- which security researchers and ICANN simply bought and/or disabled -- but Conficker C will up the ante to 50,000 addresses a day when it goes active, a number which simply can't be tracked and disabled by hand.
At this point, you should be extra vigilant about protecting your PC: Patch Windows completely through Windows Update and update your anti-malware software as well. Make sure your antivirus software is actually running too, as Conficker may have disabled it.

How the heck am I taking up 163 gigs of my 240 gig hard drive? What the heck?!-Have you thought to yourself the same kind of question? I wanted to know what files were taking up so much space on my hard drive. Luckily I’ve run across this cool FREE visual tool called JDiskReport. This free tool scans your hard drive and displays in a pie chart which kind of files are taking up space. “JDiskReport enables you to understand how much space the files and directories consume on your disk drives, and it helps you find obsolete files and folders. The tool analyses your disk drives and collects several statistics which you can view as overview charts and details tables. This is ad-free, uncrippled, no-charge binary multi-platform software that never expires.” –How cool is that.
