Problems with IE7 by amberland[_2_]
I am using IE7 on my 1yr. old Gateway FX530XG using MS XP Professional OS. Quite often error message indicates that IE has experienced a problem and will close. Should I install IE8, or another program?

Need BIOS for E-4600 Desktop by GTS[_2_]
I am trying to find a BIOS update (or if none, the original version) to reflash a corrupted system. The Gateway Web site does not list this model. (Oddly it jumps right over it.) I found an Intel download for the D850GB motherboard but it won't work. If anyone knows where I might find it, I'd...

Laptop cursor freezing... by chicagofan
.... or at least that is what appears to be happening intermittently. Is the pad going bad? Or are other things causing the delays? I've noticed it also pauses occasionally after I've typed a few keystrokes before they appear. What can I check? It's getting decidedly worse this a.m., and I...

Upgrading BIOS on FX530? by Ikaros[_2_]
If you have an FX530 with a RAID hard drive configuration, what happens if you update the BIOS? I've had my FX530 for around 18 months and afraid upgrading to the newest BIOS might mess up my RAID setup with my two SATA 250mb hard drives (using RAID-0) since the controller/ ports for them is on my...

Solo 9500 follow up. by Denzil Hathway
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...

Solo 9500 - doesn't boot by Denzil Hathway
My CMOS battery diagnosos is wrong, replacement of it doesn't fix the fact that my tried and true 9500 laptop wont boot. From line power or battery it coughs a few times and dies after powering up. The strange thing is that if I leave it fully powered on for about 2 hours it'll boot after...
