I installed XP on a used Gateway computer. Model: GP6-450 (P2 450Mhz). XP does not turn the computer off It re-boot, instead. Is it a bios setting? XP setting? Any advice will be appreciated. UziB

Wife' has a fairly recent Gateway Notebook AMD Turion 64, 1 GB (don't remember the model, but it's not top of the line.) Recently is started grinding to halt after she logged in. Task Manager showed SVCHOST taking up 99% of the CPU. After futzing around and disabling things I finally discover...

I also ran my laptop on battery and that worked...

I have a 700XL running XP Home. I made an image of my C Drive using Drive Image. I split it into smaller files of 4.589 GBs so that it would fit onto DVDs. When I tried to use Roxio I got a message that "The current file system can't write files larger than 4 GB. A UDF file system (without bridge)...

OK, I'm turning to the experts here- if a notebook HDD has write caching enabled, and the power option is to turn the drive off after 10 minutes of inactivity, does it flush the cache before shutting down, or does it just shut down? I never really thought about it before, but the Intel update...

I'm going to create a wireless home network between a Gateway 800 Mhz with Windows 98 SE (desktop), and 2 laptops, one with 98SE, the other with XP (home). Which brand(s) of equipment do you recommend? I assume I should go with 802.11g and equipment with WPA. For the desktop, do you recommend...

I am buying a house that is prewired with CAT-5 everywhere. The cable comes into the house in a metal closet from whence all in-house wiring emanates, so I can't put a wireless router there (signal wouldn't get out due to metal, I think). There will be two computers in the immediate future, one...

I have a old Gateway2000 I hadn't used for some time and now I was cleaning the files out and I found this old folder I zipped up a few years ago but I put a password on it, you guess it.

I recently dumped the aging McAfee AV on my P5-90 with Win95a and installed Nod32 AV to replace it. During installation, it said the AMON (continuously monitors internet, etc. for possible virus) would not work properly without Winsock v2.0. It looks like I can get Winsock v2.0 from Microsoft's...
