This post is somewhat off-topic, but since Gateway owns eMachines now, perhaps not too far. I have a friend who just bought an eMachines desktop computer. It's running XP Home SP2, and Outlook Express 6 SP2 is his email program. The machine does not have Microsoft Word installed, hence there is...

Looking for a latop for my college bound daughter. Circuit City has the gateway 6010GZ Notebook on sale for 699 this week. Any thoughts on on this model? Any suggestions for a like Notebook?

I just purchased a Gateway DX4300-03 that came with a remote control, a USB infrared device and a small wire with a 2.5 or 3.5 mm plug on one end and a somewhat teardrop shaped red plastic unit on the other end. I figured out that the USB infrared device was for using the remote but no one, not...

I have two Gateway 200 Mhz Pentium Pro systems each with an Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller and a 2 Gbyte disk drive that I plan to give away to some people for whom this will be an upgrade. The motherboards' BIOS is version 1.00.11.CS1T. Can I add an IDE drive larger than 8 Gbytes without a driver...

my sister sent me her old gateway, (PERFORMANCE P4-1300) to take a look at because it was freezing up. after inspecting it I noticed that the heatsink is not attached properly. 'Gateway Support - D - Processor/ZIF Socket' (http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD/INTEL/2513603/251360305.shtml) when...

I've read of several posters saying their Gateway Solo 9300 tv output is working fine with Windows XP pro. I'm at the end of my searchings, installed many drivers claiming to add the tv out but none do. (With and without a video load plugged in, before you reply with that.) I jumped thru the...

I have one of these monitors which has failed. Gateway cannot or will not supply any service information. I know the monitor was manufactured by LG electronics. Does anyone know the equivalent LG model number so that I may order a schematic diagram for repair? Mike in Ohio

I am sick to death of all the messages that pop up when using IE. How can I get rid of these? Seems like most of the pop ups are advertising how to get rid of exactly what they are doing. I will never buy anything from anyone who does that. Are there any free programs out there or should I just...

Let me recommend the original 101-key IBM keyboard, last manufactured by Lexmark (IBM spinoff) in maybe 1994 or 1995. Elegant? Absolutely not. Sturdy? YES!!!! Built like a rock. Absolutely wonderful positive touch, like the old IBM Selectrics, but each key press makes a noisy click. No...

i tried an external keyboard and that works just fine...

I can't seem to get the front of the case off to replace the power button. There is a hole in each side with a metal tab inside and a graphic indicating they should be depressed. I do but the front still won't come off. I have the top and both sides removed. -Jim

I have a GP6-400 system, circa 1999, Tabor 2 BX mobo, 256 Mb RAM. I'd like to keep this system going for as long as possible - it's very stable running Win98FE and I don't want to "upgrade" to a new machine with WinXP. I use it for surfing, word processing, some graphics apps, some old DOS apps. ...
