Has anybody found any Win7 drivers for a Gateway M6850-fx? I'm running the WU drivers and Vista drivers right now (which seem to work OK), but I'd like to find an updated video driver for it that's Win7 compatible (not Win7 Beta as on the ATI site). Thanks! -- SC Tom

Hi folks, I have an old Gateway M320 with a line through the screen. Here are a picture of the line - obviously I need to replace the screen. http://www.imagebam.com/image/ad322960885145 I know its not the video drivers since the line is there before the OS loads. My first question is, what part...

I've been getting the usual 1 long beep and 2 short beeps whenever I cold-boot my 6 year old computer up (Windows 98SE), which indicates a failure in the video system.

I see where Windows Update for my Win XP Pro laptop wants to install "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3" from Sept 2004. Is there any reason why I have to have this update? Thanks! Scott

Just had to post this. The last few days I have been having trouble with the DVD burner that came with my new Gateway 7200xl that I bought at Christmastime.

I'd like to get a notebook computer, perhaps a Gateway 400SP Plus or 400S. I was originally going to wait until November, but sometimes I'm tempted to get one much sooner than that. I keep flip-flopping. Question: are there any upcoming technological advancements with computers that...

Hi, I've seen the full retail 2003 version for sale for as low as $15 including one year of updates (but without printed manuals, they're in electronic form on CD) and as much as I realize the average mass consumer software packages can be clumsy if not ineffectual this seems like a decent price...

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...
