Okay...I recently purchased a gateway nv52 and about two weeks afterwards, I had to ugrade microsoft word, to which my norton av stop working about a week later. Some web-based forums discerned this as posssible registry problems. When I went back ut to pick up the norton updates, and to check out some registry cleaners, I was told that I should've deleted the old ''pre-installed'' drivers before installing the new updates in. what do I do? How do I delete the old ''pre-installed'' software without damaging the new updated drivers...or do I have to?

If you have purchased Norton antivirus product then your next step will be antivirus installation. It may happen that during installation you will face some technical problem and get stuck.

To overcome this situation, you should rely on technical experts. Once you will consult with these qualified experts then you become worried free about antivirus security threats. These qualified provide Norton live chat support service at nominal charges.

Try a reset to factory default

It sounds like you either have a dead mother board or a bad power inlet. Did the machine work with the new battery while it was charged? If so, then the battery connector was good and the inlet was bad. If not, your motherboard could be dead. I've also seen where a bad battery connector would syphon off enough power to not power on the machine or charge the battery.

One way to do it would be first remove the hard drive:

Then use a hard drive dock such as this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153071) to connect via USB to a working computer where you'll be able to access your files.

Hi,

Which Operating System you are using and which Anti Virus (AV) software is installed on your PC? Please let me know.
If your PC doesn't have an Anti Virus software I request you to install it soon. There are many AV available on the website, you can purchase a good one or you can use a trial version for few months and upgrade. I request you to update the AV daily.
Before using the USB flash drive do a scan with your AV that helps to detect and remove the Virus from the USB.
If the Trojan is enter on your PC (mainly on WINDOWS folder) its difficult to remove, so clean the PC with AV software once in a week.

Please let me know for further assistance.

Lots of options on ebay.

E74: AV cable error... There is a problem with the AV cable, try using a different AV cable. If the cable is known to be working then there is a 90% chance it's a scaler chip problem (the "ANA" or "HANA" chip connected directly to the AV cable) in rare cases it is the GPU.
