How Sprint fires people ( It was a thursday, and it was raining. I despise rain because my car smokes terribly and I have to keep one window opened a crack. As I accelerated, matters only became worse and soon I was both wet and smoky smelling, but I was late and had little choice in the matter....

I have a Gateway 500x system. It runs a Pentium 4 (478) processor. The system is 4 years old and has a 1.7GHZ system. Will this system run the fastest available 478 processor or is there a limit? I need to buy a new one.

I have a Pentium 4 system, running Windows XP Home. My desktop is connected by a cable to a LinkSys router. When I click Network Connections, Network Adapters it says INTEL PRO/1000 MT Desktop...

I have a Gateway G6-233 that I purchased in 1997. I have heard that something restricts the ability of that computer to use large hard drives. I have changed the CPU to a Celeron 500 and added more memory. I need a larger hard drive now. What is the limitation factor? Is there a particular type...

I have a Gateway PC with possibly serious problems. It's a 3 year old FLEXATXSTC (yeah, the infamous Flexcase) running ME that won't boot at all, apparently. My youngest had been using it at his trade school, but he went to reformat the drive and this began. I tried a new power supply from another...

Hi! I was using my Gateway pc( about 3 years old) last night to watch a DVD. From outside there was a pretty loud explosion (it was some distance away) that resembled either a transformer blowing up or someone getting a head start of the 4th of Julie. My monitor and pc immediately shut off and...

I'm an old woman just trying to learn enough about my computers to ask for what I want... when they have to be repaired, and not be unreasonable. Lightning took out the motherboard on my 2 yr. old T-2958 eMachine, and it has just been repaired and everything seems to be working fine; except that...

Whenever I reboot, or when I turn my computer on, a little blue box appears on the monitor with VGA stated inside of it, and it stays on for approx 1 minute. I know that it signifies the connection I have, but when I first got the monitor it only stayed on for approx 10 seconds. Is there any way to...

I don't know if this has been documented anywhere, but I had mine sent in for this problem. In my own experimentation, I found that using the function arrow keys to decrease sound caused a WinXP SP2 machine to freeze. I rebooted and turned the volume up. LEAVE IT UP, adjust volume in windows and...
