My old gateway needs help! I tried to wipe it and reload ?????

Hey man ~ been there, done that... Here is what I recommend: From a DIFFERENT WORKING system find (and download) ALL of your drivers to a TEMP folder. Also fetch your favorite tools, Chrome and Firefox installers (small programs (and such))... Copy ALL of that to a new CD! BE SURE you include the latest NETWORK and WiFi Drivers you can find! *** This is almost MANDATORY because there are SO many mfgs/models/and software (98-XP-Win7 etc etc) that we can't hope that WINDOWS will have ALL of them on your Windows Install disk!! *** You will need a BOOKABLE CD Version of Windows. The bummer IS ~ sometimes MS DEMANDS that a older version of Windows is installed FIRST! NO fun... Find another "standalone" Windows installer. I am fairly sure YOU need a 64-Bit version!? Be sure you have the correct one! Next TOTALLY REFORMAT your Laptop Drive and DO NOT be tempted to use the "Quick Format"! The SLOWER method CHECKS EACH SECTOR for quality as it Formats and IF any errors are found... they are marked BAD and formatting occurs around them! NOW proceed to install Windows (7 is MY FAVORITE WORKHORSE). Use your DRIVER CD to satisfy/install missing drivers! IF you have not experienced the unhappy/frustrating feelings of WINDOWS 10 ~ trust me ~ you won't have fun with it because it's another MS "PIG" like Millennium, VISTA, 8, 8.1 and SO many others! (By the way ~ what happened to Windows 9)? Before EVERYTHING is back just as you like and UPDATED... YOU have a serious choice... Your System was provided with a 500GB Drive... You can buy a NEW drive for VERY reasonable money! A NEW 500GB is $19.99 on eBay is VERY cheap insurance! 272981026722 A USA Seller. Now CLONE your original drive to your NEW drive and SET THE ORIGINAL Laptop drive aside as your "VAULT"! Another day when things go bad, you can ALWAYS get back to where you are today! ALSO IF you buy a 500GB you can use your ORIGINAL Drive a BACKUP DRIVE! ***Use CAUTION here! IF your ORIGINAL Drive is infected ~ your BACKUP DRIVE is now infected too! *** FREE EASUS TODO makes a Bootable CD ~ and works great for this! A Link is provided below. (please disregard the reference to a ENCLOSURE below) Anthony $50 please ~ (just kidding)! EaseUS Todo Backup Free WD WD5000AADS 500GB 32MB Cache 3 5 SATA 3Gb Hard Drive PC Mac CCTV DVR...

I cannot get online I

REBOOT your System into the "SAFE MODE"... with nothing else running: PRESS your Windows Key and type CMD into the box... press Enter... At the black COMMAND screen type this: sfc /scannow (DO NOT forget the space) Wait about 20 min as Windows hunts for missing guts and repairs them ~ with luck!

My gateway vn53 Laptop computer, got changed from 64bit to 32 bit, how can i change it back. As of right now, i can't do anything with it. Recovery CD doesn't work, or trying to reformat. Any

You can't change the bits of the computer. The processor is set to run on a 64 bit or 32 bit operating system. Most home computers use the 32 bit operating system. It could be that the person reinstalled a 64 bit operating windows system in a 34 bit computer. If you have the operating system software and it is for 34 bit system it should install . Maybe the person changed the bios of the system the tells it where to boot from inorder to reboot from the disk. What computer do you have ? What op system are you using?

Gateway setup is starting services

Your mistake was in trying to do a reinstall of windows. You could have, and should have, downloaded IE from Microsoft- either x86 or x64, depending on whether you are running 32 bit or 64 bit windows. Since what is done, is done, reformat the drive, and do a clean install from the disk with a newly formatted drive. That should work.

Monitor Not Receiving Signal

There is a number of things that could be bad. First is the cable between the monitor and the computer and since you said you checked all of the cable connections we can skip that. Next if you have a separate VGA board installed it may have come loose or may have gone bad. Next is that if your VGA port is built onboard the mother board it may have gone bad and in either case buying a seperate VGA card should fix the problem.

Got a Hitachi HDD 5k500.b-160 that is password locked. Came out of a Gateway KAV60. It was given to me because. They knew not the BIOS password so I reset it via CMOS battery and what not. Help?

The Hard Drive is what is locked not the bios it seems. The hard drive may be encrypted by Veracrypt or some other third party hard disk encryption platform. The only way to unlock it is to find who encrypted it and ask for the password.
