Got the box pretty much for parts, but the box was just missing an optical drive (most likely a CD-RW), and the hard drive. I first turned it on, and the computer would display the standard NVIDIA stuff before the big Gateway splash logo. That's where it hangs, and it has done so for 5 minutes at...

Can somebody please help me find (or identify at least) the correct OEM driver from Gateway for the sound blaster pc128 (i think) card that comes with the 2001 performance system. I've rebuilt and the latest drivers don't work while the old ones are lost. Your help appreciated Thanks

I have a Gateway Performance 800 running Windows XP Professional. It has run flawlessly up until about 2 weeks ago. I can be doing simple things like playing solitaire when, all of a sudden, it will lock up. This lockup will start after running the computer 30 - 60 minutes. The lock...

I bought an Audigy 2 card from eBay, and it turned out to be a Gateway OEM version, and the Audigy 2 installation CD I got from Creative won't recognize it. Creative told me to get one from Gateway, but Gateway refuses because I didn't buy a whole system from them. The Gateway website has only a...

Just reformatted our hard drive. I had Microsoft Money 2000, and backed up my money file to a floppy disk, and was wondering if anyone can tell me the steps to putting it back into my Microsoft Money. I reloaded the program back on the hard drive but can not get that file back into it. I would...
