I have five of these machines, and all or them are incomplete in some way, shape, and form. That's why I'm calling them projects. I bought them from someone who was given an ultimatum to get rid of them someway, somehow. I decided to take them on. Since these PCs don't have the tradtional form...

Hi, Suddenly neither the keyboard or mouse are working with the dock station. Both are fine connected directly. There's some other strange behavior of the cursor jumping back, when typing with the integral keyboard. Also if booted with mouse connected dirctly to laptop, mouse movement is...

Hello Do any of the "name brand" memory manufacturers produce sdram pc133 168 dimm, in a 512 stick. ? All I see are no name brands in that size. Much regards Jerry

Edward, it's some 3 years since you kindly helped me last and I was impressed with your kndness then. I wonder if you can address this problem which has recently arisen. I'm running Windows 98SE on a 433Mkz Celeron pc and at the end of the usual shutdown activity (the user.dat and system.dat files...

I have recently acquired a Quantum Fireball lct10 30Gb hard drive (which apparently came from a TiVo) that I would like to use in a Gateway Essential 500 running Windows 2000. I upgraded the BIOS (PhoenixBIOS 4.0 rel. 6.0) to 4W4SB0X0.15A.0019.P14 (the latest I could find), but the hard drive still...

Ed, Perhaps I should have been more clear. XP came preinstalled on the notebook. I'm asking about preparations to add SP1 to the existing XP OS. Scott "Edward J. Neth" wrote:

Going to order one or the other. Any info that could help my decision on which one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob

I tried to install a hard drive on a friends Gateway today (Pentium III 550 64MB RAM about 4.5 years old) and had a few problems. I only had a short time to do it and will go back tomorrow when I have more time. I think the PC had a controller card (Promise) and an existing 10GB drive. I checked...

What operating system are you running? What type of connection do you use - cable, dsl, dialup? What do you use for browsing the web? Do you get "page cannot be displayed" messages? If it is XP or ME, you could try system restore. For XP, you can reset tcp/ip and that often fixes things. Win98...

I have a major problem... after the daylight savings reminder came on today I started having trouble. I was in AOL and the computer froze. It would not reboot and I could not use the GoBack feature. I have tried rebooting numerous times as well as turning the computer off for a long time...

on gateway 2000, how do I tell bios that I want to boot from cr-rom? only gives me A and C option currently? Running Phoenix BIOS

I just bought a Simpletech Flash Drive (256mb) for my Gateway 7-series and have hit a snag. I can see the files on the drive but as soon as I try to access one it freezes up. The files were copied on by another machine running XP so I don't think its an OS problem. Anyone have any ideas?

My girlfriend's PC has started playing up. It's a Gateway G5-166 so pretty old - 7-8 years perhaps. It basically works but frequently when booting up the machine will get well into the POST, certainly after the memory check is complete, and then suddenly the whole machine just turns itself off....

I would like to know if Windows XP Pro stores the Administrators password somewhere on the pc, if so can it be recovered and how do you recover it? Thanks Ccrlyles

My 2-year old GW 700X desktop with WinXP Pro is exhibiting odd behavior with IE6. It doesn't download all the images on a page. Example: www.nissandriven.com, none of the images show (so it coule be a java problem?). I've reset the Privacy and Security tabs to Default. "Show Pictures" is...

I'm considering getting a second 80 gb hard drive just for backup. (Circuit City has a WD today for $69.99.) Currently all I have is Win XP, but I may create a Linux partition one of these days. PowerQuest's Drive Image 7 and Symantec's Ghost are two names I'm familar with, though not the...
