Thanks in advance. Ohh I tried customer service and they were awefull. No luck with them.
I tried those already when installing it says "Sorry ! We do not support this operating system!!" Any others. I tried those 3 days ago after the one from gateway.com failed.
had a similar problem with gateway laptop & vista, the drivers from gateway, intel & ms for videcard would cause it to go into sleepmode during boot process. told customer to hold power button for 2 seconds & it will continue loading into windows. what does it show in device manager like an exclamation mark or what?
