MS XP Professional OS. Quite often error message indicates that IE has

program?

Need BIOS for E-4600 Desktop by
GTS[_2_]
I am trying to find a BIOS update (or if none, the original version) to
reflash a corrupted system. The Gateway Web site does not list this model.
(Oddly it jumps right over it.) I found an Intel download for the D850GB
motherboard but it won't work.
If anyone knows where I might find it, I'd...

Laptop cursor freezing... by
chicagofan
.... or at least that is what appears to be happening intermittently. Is
the pad going bad? Or are other things causing the delays? I've
noticed it also pauses occasionally after I've typed a few keystrokes
before they appear. What can I check? It's getting decidedly worse
this a.m., and I...

Upgrading BIOS on FX530? by
Ikaros[_2_]
If you have an FX530 with a RAID hard drive configuration, what
happens if you update the BIOS? I've had my FX530 for around 18 months
and afraid upgrading to the newest BIOS might mess up my RAID setup
with my two SATA 250mb hard drives (using RAID-0) since the controller/
ports for them is on my...

Solo 9500 follow up. by
Denzil Hathway
Well I've struck out in a big way - I cannot turn my Laptop display off to
operate on an external monitor by itself. Ben is right, there are no ATI
Utilities on this 9500, either in Windows or ATI. The generic IBM utility I
downloaded and unstalled, closely following instructions given on the...

Thanks to all that wrote on my Solo 9500 "no boot" problem and my failed
attempt to fix it by swapping out the CMOS battery. A tech told me I should
change MB, for $300. I took note of your many comments to get a new Laptop.
Here's what I did. I bought a reconditioned MB for $49 and paid a tech...

Solo 9500 - doesn't boot by

My CMOS battery diagnosos is wrong, replacement of it doesn't fix the fact
that my tried and true 9500 laptop wont boot. From line power or battery it
coughs a few times and dies after powering up. The strange thing is that if
I leave it fully powered on for about 2 hours it'll boot after...

Hi, I have a Gateway FX530 that I got a year and a half ago. I was

No Beep on Boot Up by
MWB[_2_]
This just started. My 5 year old Alienware is having trouble booting up.
After letting it rest it will boot up and I get a beep and it will run fine.
Is this a power supply failing? I can smell a very faint odor from the power
supply, but it doensn't smell hot.
Thanks for the help
