We have a select 1300 with original Win98se. Came with phonetools which works well for us for faxing and occasionally answering phone calls. UNfortunately, the microphone function seems to have stopped in the phone setting. It can record using windows recorder, and I can record an outgoing message,...

We still run a PII-300 LX board with original Win95B. I want to plug some more modern USB-1 devices and thinking of upgrading to Win98SE. Will this allow "regular" USB usage or is there a hardware issue given the age of the board? -- A & L Support your local PJ

A friend has the 505 laptop with built in wireless NIC. The wireless connection to the router seems less stable than my 400SP with 'external' (wireless PCcard adapter) antenna. Is this a common problem with built-in wireless systems? -- A & L Support your local PJ

Hope someone can remember these antiquities. We have a PII-300 came with Win 95B. Did a format and install with Win 98se. However, can't get defrag to work...always freezes at some point. nothing in the background except explorer. scandisk (thorough type) was OK. Should we have Fdisk'd 1st? -- A &...

Hi, I am the CEO of a german company called Sys-Manage offering a 3rd party BufferOverflow protection software similiar to DEP introduced with XP/SP2 (btw this means something like idiot in german). So I know what I am talking about. Please have a look at: http://pax.grsecurity.net/ I know...

Im a little new at setting up servers, a friend of mine wants me to get an operating system running on this gateway 2000 server he got from work as they were about to toss it.

Hi, Im a little new at setting up servers, a friend of mine wants me to get an operating system running on this gateway 2000 server he got from work as they were about to toss it. The server has IDE slots and SCSI slots. There are two hard drives connected to the SCSI slots, and I plugged in a...

About 1.5 years ago I puchased a Gateway 700s 2.33ghz computer and the whole computer has been very noisy primarily due to the power supply (which has been replaced 3 times) and due to the case starting to rattle (may be due to the vibrating power supply). I am tired of getting the bad gateway...

I must have the worst Gateway computer ever made. 700 series top of the line 1.5 years ago, 2.33ghz, and 512 ddr ram. Ever since purchasing it the power supply has made strange grinding noises on occassion, had three of these replaced and it still makes noises. The motherboard's been replaced in...

Motherboard 4000444. BIOS 4M4PBOX1.15A.0026.P14 I foolishly updated my BIOS to 4M4PBOX1.15A.0033.P21 without saving a copy 0026.P14, and now the system is incapable of loading Joystick drivers, (OE crash to BSOD). Is there anyone out there that knows where I can find a copy of 0026.P14 still....

Anyone know of any forums devoted to Gateway computer products? A Google search was unproductive. I do know that a couple of years ago the main Gateway web site hosted a number these forums (just like Dell), but they seem to have disappeared. Andy Roberts

Be patient, I'm new at this. I got this killer piece of equipment for Christmas but I have tried four times to install the thing! Followed directions to a T but I get a "Msgsrv32 error". Choice of "Ignore or Cancel". Ignore does nothing. Cancel works but then when I restart the computer I'm...

can not boot from cd, went to bios change it to cd, still does not work

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...

I've been trying to get a friend's Gateway 6-350 back into usable order. One thing led to another, and I ended up totally replacing her 10 GB Maxtor hard drive with a Maxtor 40 GB hard drive, adding a CD-RW drive and installing Windows XP. Everything finally seemed to be working okay together. I...

We have three Gateway computers, two bought in 2005, another one in 2007. All three of these machines have SATA capabilities on the motherboards and the hard drives are SATA but the DVD drives are IDE. None of the power supplies had more than the two SATA plugs. Things were starting to fail...
