I'm running a old GP6-333 Gateway, when on a bootup i get the password prompt, it's just a sreen with the Gateway insignia with a bar that loads up, type in my password and boots to windows, no problem. I would like to just turn the unit on and walk away without baby sitting it and typing in...

I am considering buying a 305X notebook. I didn't get a response to my previous query, so I did a Google search. On thing I found was a complaint that the 852 GM chipset would not support graphics beyond 800 X 600 @ 16 bit. Just wondering if this is true, and if so, has it been corrected. I will...

Hello all, I have a dead Astro that needs a keyboard, restore disk and a solution to a partial power up problem. Anyone sitting on a bunch of unneeded Astro stuff? Thanks, Tom Maguire

The system board recognizes the 2nd processor but I have not been able to get XP to recognize. I have been wanting to get this working for a long time but no luck so far. I would be extremely grateful if anyone can point me to a solution. I also cannot get a PCI video card to work with this...

When I refer to MSNBC, I mean their web site, of course. Forgot to add the .com. "HistoryFan" wrote in message ... A few weeks ago, I mentioned that MSNBC required you to sign up for a Microsoft .Net passport before you...

Can I just plug a USB PCI card inand download a driver? I do not have the win98 disk and don't know which 98 version I have (it was legitimately acquired). Thanks

I currently own a Destination DL2 (STB Video/TV Tuner), I have put together a Destination XTV (with ATI AIW Video card) and have it completed with 1 exception- I need to find a source for the Destivu software that is specific to the XTV. It would be on any of the version 3.x Destination restoration...

Hello all, I have a modem that came out of a gateway P4-1400 system and I have tried to install it in two other sytems unsuccessfully. Neither system recognizes the modem at all; it is not recognized by the bios during bootup and device manager shows no record of it. I have tried installing the...

I'm seriously considering a 305X, but know nothing about notebooks. My decision is based on price, and what the Gateway site says the unit has. I have been dealing strictly with desktops since 1986. Remember DOS, 128K RAM, and the 5 1/4 floppies? I would appreciate any comments about the...

Would I be correct in thinking that my best option of achieving USB 2.0 on above Mobo is to purchase a PCI card such as the Belkin that provides USB ports via the card? The mobo has had the BIOS upgraded to 4W4SB0X0.15A.0019.P14 and the m/c is of late 1999 vintage originally had PIII 500Mhz but...

Can I upgrade to a 7200RPM HDD on a Gateway Peformance 450. It has a PIII 450 with a 13GB HDD 5400RPM. Will the system board support it? Thanks Bob

Had a bad experience I thought I'd pass on. Prior to power going off in wind storm there was tremendous bang and half the stuff in the house went off. Turned out surge burned out 8 surge protectors. No damage to computers but we lost small TV. Looking over protector warranties, Belkin warrants...

Can anyone here verify that this device works with a Linksys wireless G router (WRT54G)? I have the GoVideo ver. of this device and it is going back because it is probably defective. I am thinking about buying the Gateway ver. because the software is more developed but I can't use it if...

I'm looking for a notebook that won't put me over the edge. I don't need all the fancy bells, and whistles. I plan on using it on a lengthy trip to load map data, store photos, and do the email net thing. I took a look at the 305X at a local Gateway store, and it seemed to meet my needs. Of...

Wondered if GW is going the way of Dell and using foreign support? Candidly, I do not like this. I bought a camera from Best Buy before Christmas and when they did not have one in the store and on-line ordering failed, I went to their 800 ordering number and order took nearly a half hour with some...

I've developed grey streaks on my monitor which run across text and any other dark coloring. Any thing I could find on the web indicates a card failure. I have a Gateway P800 with TNT2 card, running win98SE. Can anyone confirm it *is* the card? Any recommendations on a replacement? Thanks for any...

I am sorting out an old Gateway GP6-400 with onboard videocard. Does anyone know what drivers I need for this? It is not the tower model. Has 96Mb RAM.

Since flashing my Wasp MOBO BIOS with the P10 update from the Gateway site I noticed that only one of two SATA drives now appear in the BIOS. Windows XP Pro still recognizes two drive but Explorer takes about ten seconds to open since the flash. Other than that everything runs very well. Any ideas...

I have heard twice now that Gateway will be ending their home PC sales and concentrating only, or at least more so on commercial PC sales instead. I have also heard that somewhere in the fine print it is likely said that even if one has paid for a 3 year extended warranty, that there is no...
