On the memory compatibility on my machine. My previous post was: I have an old Gateway Athlon Select K7-950 (well 900 now, the 950 fried and I bought a combo with same board and a 900mhz processor). (http://support.gateway.com/support/srt/docs.asp?sn=0022493070). Was wondering about the memory...

I got this off a computer forum. A lady sent an email to what GW calls their "Tech Support" asking them if the results she got from doing a recalibration on her battery was "acceptable" results or if she needed to purchase a new battery. The Brilliant GW Techie replied telling her to do a...

I’m setting up a network so two XP machines can share files and a single printer. During the setup process I noticed that both computer’s names are a bunch of gibberish, i.e. my laptop’s name is gateway-rds5k7q. I would like to change the names of both the laptop and desktop to something less...

I have an old Gateway Athlon Select K7-950 (well 900 now, the 950 fried and I bought a combo with same board and a 900mhz processor). (http://support.gateway.com/support/srt/docs.asp?sn=0022493070). Was wondering about the memory density. It says it comes with 16x8. Would 32x8 modules work with...

I just bought a Gateway Solo 2500 laptop for a few bucks in excellent physical shape that won't boot. The power light comes on, the floppy drive engages for a split second, the hard disk engages for a split second, then nothing. No video on the LCD screen or BIOS error beeps. I've been...

How do I get a replacement OEM Windows XP Professional SP1 from Gateway? The system disk on my Gateway 700S died and I need to install Windows XP Professional onto a blank hard drive. The system came with an OEM Windows XP Professional SP1 CD that came and was never used. The system is still...

I have 3 Gateway 9300's, all with that extra battery that slides into the flobby slot. I let them run all the way down until the machine goes on standby, and then "charge'm up again (I think?). I notice some little light-slots (or bugs) on the bottom of the batteries.., sooo, are these suppose to...

Well while messing around I saw an e-mail icon on my desktop, not sure how it got there but I double clicked on it as the writing below it said "Internet Explorer has been hijacked by "About Blank" I know I tried to save some information I saw on the net about my problem, don't know if it came...

I have a dead GATEWAY 600YGR. It won't even boot into bios. The screen flashes for a fraction of a second then dead. The problem seems to be with the little switch at the top the gets pushed down when the lid is shut. I have been browsing the net looking for repair manuals, etc. ...

Is this the newsgroup to discuss eMachines computers as well as Gateway?

Not really the right group, but you chaps are very kind. Suddenly all my Explorer windows take 10-20secs. to respond and don't refresh properly. I can see the phrase "load:com.ms.activex.ActiveXcomponent" in the lower border window (what would be the URL bar in IE) which I've never seen before. The...

Will a P4 2.4 533 work on a 400 board with PC 133 ? I don't care about the buss speed, I just want to know if I can use this cpu before I sell it.

Not a specific Gateway question, but it will be on a Gateway computer :) Anyway, does anyone know of a program that can password protect a windows folder (in XP Home)? I know you can protect zip folders, I do that right now. It's just a pain in the ass that every file I open in the zip folder...

Someone built me a "new" PC with XP professional operating system. He also installed my "old" HD with Win98 (and everything else on it) as a slave to the new HD. How can I best rescue some of my "old" files from the G6-400 HD, and if possible, transfer them to the "new" HD. There seems to be a...
