I have a vaio laptop with wireless and bluetooth. When I try to connect a bluetooth device I get a "bluetooth not reay" message. I have an icon in my sys tray for switching between lan and bluetooth, I choose bluetooth and shut off the wireless LAN. Is there something I need to do in Media...

After a long wait since ordering on 4/27 and a redo to get the Q6600 Quad processor on 7/11, my FX530 order status detail screen now said "In Production" this morning! Well, shortly after that the computer and warranty items Status said "Shipping". But the monitor and speakers still says...

Yeah! After a long wait since ordering on 4/27 and a redo to get the Q6600 Quad processor on 7/11, my FX530 order status detail screen now says In Production this morning! How long do you think it will be before it actually ships and is at my front door?

I have a Gateway computer...I've had it about a month. For the past week, several times every day, I've been getting a virus warning from my anti-virus program. It is always either in Gateway Games, or is trying to get into Gateway Games. The name of the virus (which is described as a Trojan...

I have a Gateway 700x that was given to me. Whan plugged in, it has an amber power light and a green light on the system board. However, it will not boot. No fans spin, no POST. The power supply test button does nothing. I am a PC Technician and hoping to find a service manual to help me...

Kept getting error messages to reinstall which I did and messages persisted. I removed program. Someone said buttons on monitor could do whatever needs to be done with software. Any comments? Frank

In my previous post I mentioned that I plan on deleting the 500gb RAID-0 setup when I get my new FX530, reloading the system and just using them as 2 separate 250gb drives. (When I "re-ordered" my computer, Gateway only offered RAID-0 or RAID-1 for the 500gb storage choices. My previous setup have...

When I re-ordered my FX530 the other day to get the Quad processor, it now comes with 500gb as RAID-0. I don't like that losing one drive will kill all the data on both, and I don't want RAID-1 and lose half the capacity. Also, all the benchmark testing I've seen shows little to no performance...

A friend of mine keeps losing her wireless signal she is presently using a Net Gear router and estimates the distance at approximately 70 feet or more and she keeps getting dropped and a weak/low signal. Any tips as to what she can do? I checked their web page (net gear) and it mentions the...

Last GW was from local GW store which is now gone. GW is a different company and also has these emachines. Computers now coming with trial software and extra expense to upgrade to something you wanted in the first place. Where to go? Should I buy GW, emachine, on-line, Best Buy or go Dell. ...

Why you cannot order a PC without a keyboard and mouse is beyond me since we all have bunches of them. They pile up. It's like my dad bought cars that had a tool kit. Now my dad is a wonderful guy but he can't tell a Phillips screw driver from a straight one. He has no mechanical inclination and...

Hello, new here. Just have a request for advice.... I bought a refurbished GT4016 earlier this year from a company called Tech For Less. I'm very happy with the system in every way except one, even though the poor thing looks as if it had been dropped a couple of times and was scratched up and...

This machine takes about 5 minutes before the icons appear on the desktop. I have cleaned the pre-fetch, done defrag and disk cleanup, in msconfig I have loaded startup programs one at a time and nothing helped. I went further and did the same with "Services" and found one service, "Shell...

Well . . . we blew through the 5/8 date. Now the systems are saying 5/17. Is there any secret phone number/ website that has real delivery info/ manufaturing status? The sales people just seem to access the same info as the order status website. Is there a group in Gateway that can truly check...

Previous machines were first bought over phone and then through GW stores but I got this one off the shelf at Comp USA. Fairly vanilla machine since I don't do anything fancy. I bought and installed the lowest cost MS office product but after downloading Open Office, as someone here previously...

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....
