Hi, I recently acquired an older Gateway PC to use as a server. I took out a few bits, and now I'm testing them in case they might be of any use. One item is a modem. It is: Gateway part no: 6001259 Chipset is: Conexant RH56D/SP PCI This looks like the...

I'm working wtih a Windows XP Home Gateway computer that's only a few months old. It went down because of a power outage. Now when I try to dial the ISP or even Query the modem on the modem's Diagnostic tab the computer does a hard reset. Nothing else seems to have any problems. I'd like to try...

Hi. I'm looking for a Gateway system restoration cd. The part number is 7504721. The version is 7.1. The Model number is G6-333c. Thank you. Gary Brener

I recently attempted to repair a laptop keyboard (Solo 5150) with partial success. The board was malfunctioning from a spilled beverage. (1) First I placed the keyboard in a thick, see-thru plastic bag and then began to remove the plastic "pins." These various layers of the keyboard are held...

This is a test to see if there's anyone home.

Just about every time I pull my puter out of the sleep mode the damn thing just shuts off. It then reboots on its own. The error note from Microsoft says "a device driver installed on your system caused the problem; however, we cannot determine the exact cause". Following further instructions I...

The solution is simple. Do not use EZ-BIOS, which is not required for the system to use a 3GB drive properly. The motherboard is limited to supporting drives no larger than 8.4GB. If you wanted to install a larger drive than 8.4GB, you might consider using EZ-BIOS, but I wouldn't. So... 1. Run...

Well, I posted a little while ago, about the debacle, on trying to return my laptop to gateway, and trying for weeks to get a box from them to return the laptop for warranty service on a three month old unit. (they said they wouldnt accept for warranty any computer that was not sent in their box,...

Hi, Have this still otherwise healthy Solo 2500, but some time ago, an external mouse started going wild, when connected via docking station. Later the same thing happened even with mouse connected directly to laptop port. At about the same time another crazy behavior started - when I type (as...

Gee it looks so empty here, you would never even know there were gateway users. Could it be there are so little problems with a Gateway product there is nothing to complain about or fix? Lee

I'm getting the following error message on a co-workers Gateway 400ds4 laptop, then the display goes to 2 colors and don't remember the resolution, but very large. After rebooting, I am getting the same result. I have updated the ATI2DVAG.dll file from an update to that file dated April 25, 2005,...

What's the best way to clean a laptop screen with the new Ultrabrite (smooth and shiny) screen? I've always used distilled water and a soft cloth on my laptop screens, but it's hard to make them smear-free when drying. Thanks! Scott

If you hate Gateway/Emachines tech support, stop here as you will have you most basic perceptions challenged. Two weeks ago I casually asked my grand-daughter why I never see her on line any more and why of late she has to come to our house to do her online homework. Reply, "Oh, didn't mom or dad...

I have been looking at a Gateway 7330GZ forabout a grand. In the store looks like the hard drive on the laptop is partitioned. Does this mean I cannot format it and install a fresh Microsoft copy of win xp or must I use gateway proprietary restore cd. Also, is the bios usually on their hard...

Nothing was spilled into it. I think its a mechanical issue. Is there a way I can pop it off and not break it, then put it back on properly?

Do not know if my GW is feeling it’s age or if there is a software problem. Running WIN98 SE and cannot create a new folder on drive – get error message and request to debug brings up DrWatson and about 10 error messages. Also cannot run check disk to fix errors. Otherwise everything works well...

Hi. I am trying to fix a computer that has a Gateway OEM motherboard in it. It was completely disassembled when I got it. It has a Tabor #AA698435-301 (E139&61) I am confident it is an Intel SE443 BX clone. The only real difference, besides the creataive sound chip, is the on board jumpers and the...

Does it support raid 0+1? It is on sale now for $150 instant rebate.

Hi, I'm troubleshooting sluggish performance with the most recent version of Street Atlas (2006), and as always, the video driver is always a possible cause. The system is a 2.2 GHz Pentium 4 700XL, purchased in spring of 2002, with 1 gb RAM, and ATI Radeon 8500 64 mb videocard, currently running...

It has been so long since I went to the place where you turn off what starts up when the computer turns on I forgot what to type in at RUN. I just built a new computer and for some reason I can not explain I am using ME for the moment and there is a bunch of crap running that I need to shut off,...
