What I am looking for, is contact info for the cooperate HQ for Gateway, I feel I need to move my problem up the food chain so to speak Recently I bought a new Gateway system for my wife at Best Buy The OS Vista just has too many incompatibility issues with the majority of software that I already...

Kids bought me a new Acer monitor for my GW. Can't figure how to make circles look round. I'm on Vista. Any ideas? Tried to hook up old monitor to replace crt on a Dell but it won't work. Machine belongs to consulting client and I don't have admin rights. Do I need them to help? They are not...

Well soon I will be retiring my Gateway G6, 333 mhz computer and getting my "new" Gateway DX430X. Really am excited as this one will be "slightly faster" (grin). The old one has worked well for me! Also the old EV700 monitor I heard so much negativityabout has provided such good service and...

Help again! I get an IRQ resource conflict with a new PCI USB card (with the printer) and removing unused COM ports in Device Manager safe mode doesn't help. When trying to load the drivers, 'add new hardware' wizard can't find a bunch of .inf files and won't look anywhere else but on the Win98 CD...

Hi everyone, Im' looking for a BIOS downgrade OR a hack for an intel mainboard, sold by gateway. The BIOS identification string (displayed on startup) is 4R4CB0XA.15A. I used to have bios version 4 (ID string 4R4CB0XA.15A.0014.P04.9810021408), which worked acceptable with a Pentium III/550 MHz...

Could someone please run CPUz on the eMachine ET1161-07 system., and publish the Motherboard Info. I have read a few reviews everyone is beating this system down, but not one review, nor eMachine has the motherboard listed. Maybe i am blind again! Is this a ECS or a Biostar motherboard? With...

I'm trying to help my neighbor fix his Gateway P500 desktop. I pulled the 20Gig hard drive out of his Gateway machine and put it into my non-gateway machine (three different ones). The bios recognizes the drive, but it's nowhere to be found in Win98 or DOS. Ok, so I took a new drive, formatted in...

Hi I am currently using Win98SE and have been pretty happy with it. However, I think it's time to upgrade to a newer OS. I am planning to go to WinXP Pro. Is this possible? I've described the motherboard I have below. I'm quite happy to search out new drivers and so on off the internet as we...

I am helping a friend with their Flexatxstc Bro Essential 700C. The unit powers on and stays on but the monitor led light will come on and immediately powers off. The monitor works fine on another unit. Any suggestion? Thanks

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...

For some reason (probably me) I have not been able to install Vista's SP1. On the download I always got a Code 5 (unknown) error and with other solution an error 0x0 and after sending the CBS Log to Microsoft tech assistance they said they found a 80070002 error and after numerous tries said...

Hope someone can tell me what command to watch after restarting with the WinXP cd in the drive in order to wipe the C: drive clean and reinstall WinXP. I don't want to do a repair. Thanks.

Hi, I have roughly 3/4 year old PIII Gateway PC with a standard Power supply (ATX). I recently got myself a new silent power supply for this PC but the motherboards power signal connector is different on this Power supply to what I have on my original power supply. My current power supply has the...

I have CF94510J.15A.0028.2006.1213.1629 The computer (emachine with XP home in it, but was originally vista which was wiped out and XP installed) keeps shutting down and telling me there is something wrong with registry files on boot up but says that it had to go look for them elsewhere and...

What motherboard does this system use? www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp? skuId=8775756&type=product&id=1204331848044 Has anyone more than toyed with AMD's triple core processor? The little bit of playtime in my local Fry's it seem faster that I thought it would be using two large Photoshop...

Well, I'm glad I have all my drivers and updates on DVD and an external hard drive- Gateway no longer lists the M6850-fx anywhere that I can find. Looks like if someone is having a problem, it would be easier to throw the old one away and buy a new one. Of course, that's what all companies (PC...

Good Morning and Merry Christmas. About a month ago I call Gateway Upgrades and Tech Support just to make sure what I was wanting to do would work. They both said yes with your system no problems. Well problems, I got a Maxtor 300GB Drive which came with a new controller card which worried me as...

Also posted on Yahoo. I am posting this Gateway disaster story as a heads up to potential Gateway customers and Gateway employees who often seem to be out of the loop. While I believe that Gateway mostly makes good products, every once in a while, something goes really wrong and that is when a...
