Hi I am currently using Win98SE and have been pretty happy with it. However, I think it's time to upgrade to a newer OS. I am planning to go to WinXP Pro. Is this possible? I've described the motherboard I have below. I'm quite happy to search out new drivers and so on off the internet as we...

I have a Gateway select 1000 pc, bought direct from gateway 4 yrs ago. I just sent tech support an email, asking them if my pc will support an upgrade from my current ME which came with the system, to XP. And the emails I got back are both confusing, and annoying. Follow along. Heres ...

Her GW is getting long in the tooth and having problems. She is not a heavy user - mostly email and internet - and I'm wondering if I should go GW or Dell.

Unbelievably, Gateway is still going. Is there a Dead Pool for GW?

I've got a Gateway 500SE with the Nimitz motherboard and a P4 1.8A/400 GHz processor. I have increased system memory to 512MB of PC-2100 (DDR266). The system is about 1.5 years old and has the latest BIOS installed. One of the comments in the latest BIOS alluded to a fix for a...

I have a 700XL running Windows XP Home. I purchased it January 2003 and it came with Roxio Easy CD Creator 5. I want to burn movie DVDs, so I installed Nero 6 Ultra. I started by trying to burn a data CD-R and am unable to do it on either of the 2 drives. It stops writing and freezes the system....

I am upgrading a new Gateway M405 laptop that came with XP Home to XP Pro. It is stuck with 34 Minutes of Setup Time Remaining. I found a KB article (316386), but it applies to upgrading a Sony VAIO PCG-FXA portable computer from Windows Millennium Edition to Windows XP Professional, and says...

Current: Windows 98SE Visioneer 6100b Flatbed Scanner (5 years old) ScanSoft Pro v7.0 (4 years old, retail up to 9.0 now) I put the scanner and software on an...

Hello all, I'm in the market for decent laptop for home use and have narrowed my search to the Gateway M350S. One of the reasons is that's one of the few units I've seen in my price range with an Intel P4 w/ Hyper-Threading technology. Is HT worth this much consideration or am I placing too much...

I'm upgrading a Gateway "Performance 500" tower machine... the system is marked: "TBR3 500 PIII" I've expanded ram to 384mb and now want to replace the cpu. What would be the best CPU choices? Is there going to be a problem between the new cpu/heatsink and this plastic cooling cowling that...

Is there some trick involved in getting a secondary hard drive recognised on a Performance 933? I tried putting AUTO in the BIOS (amibios dated 7/7/2000) (and saving the configuration of course when it asked me if I wanted to do this) and nothing I can do will let it see any secondary hard drive on...

I tried to do a PNP network setup a year back which really screwed everything up so bad that I had to do a complete restoration on one of the machines. Since then, I have gone broadband which means some new hardware has been added. I'm thinking I have all that I need to try to network the two...

Recently, I have found that my system will take between 60 to 90 seconds longer than before to boot. It will boot up, and once it has, all seems to be fine. Any thoughts as to why it is taking this much longer for the OS to boot up completely these last few weeks? Thanks to all.. Fox
