After a long wait since ordering on 4/27 and a redo to get the Q6600 Quad processor on 7/11, my FX530 order status detail screen now said "In Production" this morning! Well, shortly after that the computer and warranty items Status said "Shipping". But the monitor and speakers still says...

I'm looking for the smallest speakers that will give decent (not fantastoc) sound for my 305X notebook. As you know the built in sound is like something out of a tin can. BONUS On another issue. If you go into Windows Explorer under programs, you may find programs that don't show up when you select...

We have one of the original Gateway Profiles. It has a 6gig hard drive. Does anyone know if this can be upgraded? Thanks

With back-to-school ocurring my mail is inundated with promos for inexpensive computers from all sorts of vendors. HP figures prominently and now has sales on where you seem to get a heck of a lot for your money. I kind of like Gateway. They've been kind to me with sevice, questions and parts...

Can anyone give me an address that can walk me through installing Windows XP Pro on my GW with 2 serial (RAID not in use) drives. I have no 3 1/2 inch drive for installing the SATA drivers but with USB enabled in BIOS (during setup) XP setup reads the info on my USB floppy drive just fine and...

I bought up a 3-year old Gateway E-3400 desktop from eBay with a 700 MHz processor upgrade. There's an AVC Model #C5515B12M ball bearing fan mounted atop the CPU. The fan makes a sort of whining sound...not real loud, but annoying. This fan and the case fan are both very clean, so I don't think...

Hi guys, Being a noob here, I spent a bit nosing around the forum, but didn't find the answer I was hoping for. I recently acquired 2 solo's (a 2300 and a 9300) and a 450SX. All had been deemed "not worth the trouble" by our I.T. guys and were on the scrap cart at work. The 450 is indeed dead. No...

The Motherboard for my system is a E-4000. The system on Gateway site under my serial number is listed as a 300 S. Belarc Advisor has it listed as E-4000. So i guess its a E-4000 with a 300 S case. The case is the slimline case no room for secound HD or secound DVDCDRW or whatever. My question is....

Well, my fun continues with my eMachines combo drive. After 5 chat sessions that led to hours of various steps, including using the restore disk (to no avail, but much software reinstallation!), I finally convinced them to send me a new drive. I installed it, and everything initially worked...

If you are using a Gateway Solo 1150, do yourself a favor and upgrade the Me operating system to Win2K. I saw a noticable improvement with my Solo, in terms of both speed and stability, after upgrading to Win2K. It did take me some time to find the necessary drivers for Win2K, but drivers for the...

It's ironic that Gateway's corporate image is of a cow and tech support comes from India. Imagine the mascot being a Sumo wrestler or a Mexican bullfighter. On Sun, 8 Feb 2004 20:55:57 -0600, "S.Lewis" wrote: ben_myers_spam_me_not @ charter.net (Ben Myers)...

I have a neighbor that has a 4 or 5 year old Gateway, running MS ME. I think it has an 800 or so CPU. He reformatted the machine a month or so ago. All appeared to be fine for a few days, and then the CD and DVD drives could not be read or seen. The doors on either drive would not open. A few...

My poor, pathetic Gateway Solo 2500 SE (laptop purch. 12/1998) has suffered a cracked monitor and needs salvation. Do I try to sell her on the open market or connect her to a desktop monitor. More specifically, if choosing the latter option, what exactly is involved (with this particular model)? ...

A friend has the 505 laptop with built in wireless NIC. The wireless connection to the router seems less stable than my 400SP with 'external' (wireless PCcard adapter) antenna. Is this a common problem with built-in wireless systems? -- A & L Support your local PJ

Wonder how Taxcut compares to Turbotax. I've been using the latter but considering dumping because of frustrating problems with giving out credit info more than once and not getting program. Plus on the weekend, nobody's home there. I need small business stuff and state and electronic...
