Does any one know why the specific Conexant sound drivers from the Gateway site specifically set out (on loading your serial number to get your speficifications and access to the newest drivers) for an MX6025 would report FAILURE to load on the set-up utility please? There is no sound coming...

Something happened to a 3 year-old Gateway 420GR. Most of the time when I press the power button it doesn't power on. Sometimes it powers on but it doesn't POST. The processor fan seems to speed up and slow down over and over while the lights on the keyboard go on and off at the same time. I've...

Greetings. I am new to Handbooks and Linux, but am attracted to this machine because it seems to be quite an engineering marvel for its time. I understand that a 486 operating at 40Mhz and 20MB of RAM isn't much, but I understand that Linux has a reputation for being able to 'push' older hardware...

I have a Gateway GM5424 desktop I purchased last March. I have already updated the video card, memory and PSU. I will be updating the CPU soon with an Intel E6700. I have read that the Intel stock cooler is not that great. I want to go with an aftermarket heat sink like a Zalman. My concern is...

Ben, Newegg does not have a sparkle, or Fortron in this size and I missplaced the link for the manufacturer = these brand names - www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151040 Any other suggestions - reading the reviews it seems ok... JR the postman

Is there a free or cheap shareware that can be used to wipe the info off a drive. The OS is Vista. I am taking my laptop back to the Best Buy store. Thanks.

I have a gateway 4025GZ notebook that was purchased in 03/05. I had to reformat the HD and I reloaded a late version of Windows XP with SP2. Everything works except the wireless Network Card. I downloaded the correct driver from the Gateway Web site, but Windows Device Manager keeps giving error...

I just recently added a second SATA drive. My question is could I clone the primary HD to the second one without causing any problems? I read someplace that the SATA drives do not have the settings that make primary and secondary drives. I bought it to clone my HD to preclude losing information. ...

You gotta love these guys. They remind me of some eBay sellers. -- Subject: Gateway General Customer Service Questions AA3 (KMM25503368V12093L0KM) ********************************************************************** Hello Ron,

I just recently added a second SATA drive. My question is could I clone the primary HD to the second one without causing any problems? I read someplace that the SATA drives do not have the settings that make primary and secondary drives. I bought it to clone my HD to preclude losing...

Update to my 12/21 post. Disassembled Emachines M6811 laptop for access to the 'hidden' memory slot under the keyboard. Removed old RAM, installed new RAM, reassembed laptop, tested, everything works. Followed up with a faster hard drive, fresh install of Windows XP, and a few runs of...

Go into any Best Buy, Frys or Circuit City and buy a new Gateway desktop and you'll find advertised on the box PCI Express and PCI slots. However once you get your new system home you'll find a foil seal preventing you from opening the case to make ise of these slots. Should you decide to break...

I have a quick question about the "System Recovery" partition on Emachine/Gateway computers with WinXP (Home). I'd like to do the non-destructive Windows reinstallation, but I'm a little nervous about setting up internet and network connections again (such a pain in the butt). If you do a...

I'm looking to max out the RAM on my Emachines M6811, and I'd like some instructions for replacing the second DIMM buried under the keyboard. Their tech support keeps pointing me towards their web site, which shows how to replace the first DIMM from the bottom of the laptop, but ignores the...

I can only answer one of your questions since I lack the experience with this system... Actually the entire brand... Anyway, If you are to use "the last known good configuration" feature and your system ALREADY boots properly using the command again will do NOTHING. The feature only works when...

Spoke to one of HPs Road Warriors today. Helped him get set-up for some sales event on the road and what not. He (an reportedly his coworkers) are really happy with their brand new HP laptops. No surprise there, given every sales guy loves a new toy, but the when I asked about the OS, it wasn't...
