Maybe someone can help me. All of a sudden, when I turn on my computer or have to reboot Win XP, sometimes Win XP begins to start and then "like it doesn't catch" and restarts again and I get the screen that says "Windows didn't shut down properly... and you get the option to stat Win in safe mode,...

I have located all of the drivers necessary to fully install XP on a Gateway MT6711 laptop (only supported by Gateway with Vista). Everything works (sound, video, modem, wired & wireless LAN, firewire, PC Card slot, memory card reader .... everything) and there are no "splats" at all in Control...

I installed XP on a used Gateway computer. Model: GP6-450 (P2 450Mhz). XP does not turn the computer off it re-boot, instead. I received, already, some much appreciated advise, and checked: No 'Wake up' in the BIOS. No CD/DVD in drives. If I eliminate the 'automatically restart' - I get a blue...

On my 700XL (Win XP Pro), the XP startup sound now plays earlier in the bootup process (during the light blue screen just before the desktop appears). It used to play as the desktop came into view. Is there a simple way to move the sound to a little later in the bootup sequence? Thanks! Scott

I downloaded and installed XP SP2 from the IT site...all worked fine except for the following problem... If I right click on a folder I do not get a context menu...instead the system hang for a bit and the the desktop refreshes and most of the icons in the system tray by the clock close down......

Has anyone tried loading XP on one of these vintage Motherboards?

I know it's all going downhill and overseas, and having spent 18 months wearing a headset myself I try to be sympathetic. But OMG what a repository of incompetence, incivility, and naked greed Gateway Support has become! I have an MX8710. I love this machine, but it came with XP MCE, and I need...

When I bought my Yamaha I got the Ahean package with it, but when I changed my XP some programs no longer worked, thouh nero did. But now I am getting a signal that my trial vesion has expired. I thought I had a full cversion but now they want $69.00 for a new package to be downloaded. Am I...

I have a Gateway FPD2185W TFT LCD Monitor and today I noticed a yellow vertical line going all the way from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen about five inches from the right side. Is this fixable or does it mean that the monitor is going bad?

I think the power supply (Astec ATX250-3505, Gateway part #6500583) gave up the ghost yesterday, Saturday, Dec 24. Honest, all I did was unplug everything and move the tower case from between the wall and the desk to clean some the dust off the carpet; when I plugged everything back in,...

Hi all, forgive my lack of technical terms, I'm not a technical person. My 5 year old, 1.6 GHz P-4 YGR-600 laptop seems as it might be ready to give up the ghost. Recently the screen sometimes just goes blank, so I figured the cable that connects the motherboard to the screen. No big deal,...

Stock price at $3.20. Last time I cashed them in it was $86 something.

Keep getting icon at bottom with message that it's not responding. Know it has something to do with funny extra keys on GW monitor. Tried to turn it off and now I get a message from MS that there is some sort of conflict even though I turned it back on. Minor annoyance but wondered if others...

Below seems to have solved problem. Annoyed that GW does not recognize my less than one year old computer serial number but recognizes my wife's 6 year old computer. http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/getFile.asp?now=1&id=21424 Installation

Hi, I have problems with my E-4200 (Tabor 4000444). It came fitted with a 10-Gig Quantum fireball, I've installed Win98se on it and it's _extremely_ slow when writing data (DiskTT says 81.6MB/s read and 3.1MB/s write!). I must add that I've updated the BIOS to the latest version...
