Gateway LX6810-01

I leaned towards this pc after a bestbuy rep told me this model would be great for games. I loaded my old games (Fear,DOOM3,etc) and none work. Contacted Geek Squad and he said the games should run. After 45 min on the phone with remote access he could not provide a solution. I have read online that both games run fine with Vista 64. Was the system misrepresented to me and the Geforce GT120 a dud or is it a 64 bit issue? The Geek Squad guy told me to get a new game (Halo 3) and it will run fine. Does owning this system mean I have to say goodbye to my old favorites or is there something I need to do to get them to run. I tried to download the older direct x 9.0c however I get a suspicious cabinet file warning that prevents me from installing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 

I just had a chance to re-read your message in full.
Im not sure if you are trying to say a Geek Squad Agent told you it was compatible or not , but a quick search on Google shows some promising results with real answers.

May I ask where you originally got your compatability info from?

  • Gateway LX6810-01 Issues

    Well for about a month now my computer has been shutting down on its own. Mostly during high use like games,movies stuff like that. After I spent nearly a hour waiting to talk to a tec from gateway I was given a e-mail that didn't help at all. So by chance I stumbled on the customer comments on there website regarding my computer and it turns out alot folks are having the same issue. Unsure where I go from here cause they have refused to e-mail me back and sitting 2 hours on the phone is not somthing I want to do again.

    It sounds like something is overheating. Have you removed the cover from the pc and cleaned it out? Blow all the dust out and make sure your heatsinkis good and clean.
    Do you know how to view the event viewer? You can look for errors in there?
    It sounds more like something is overheating.

  • Gateway LX6810-01 SATA Drive Bay Problems

    I have been trying to install drives into the SATA bays but they are not showing up on the computer, is there something you have to do in the BIOS or something to turn them on before you use them? They do not show up in DIsk Managment or My Computer at all...
    please let me know! I can be emailed at {removed per forum guidelines}

    You may try posting this in the Computer portion of this forum.  There are TONS of gurus on here but many of them probably don't look under this category.

  • Adobe Media Crashes for Panasonic MXF HD Files

    I have been using Premiere Pro CS4 (ver 4.2.1) for several years on both a Win XP and recently on a Win 7 OS machine with good results for SD video. Recently I tried to encode some Panasonic P2 MXF 720P/60P HD video on the timeline to MPEG2 using the Adobe Media Encoder (ver 4.2.0.006) and had a crash in less than a minute of encode time (see attached crash report). This crash is very consistent on either the Win XP or Win 7 machines. If the video on the timeline is just a few seconds, it seems to encode OK.
    I contacted Adobe support, but did not get any help in solving this problem. I would really like to be able to encode MXF video with Adobe products, but need assistance with this crash problem. Has anyone seen this problem before and what did you do to solve it? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Gaps can cause all sorts of failures.
    One trick that I use to locate any is to first Zoom In on the Timeline. Hit Home to move to the beginning of the Timeline. Then, use the PageUp to step through the Clips. The CTI (Current Time Indicator) should jump smoothly from Clip to Clip. If you get a hiccup, or what looks like a stutter in the CTI, check very closely for a gap. Depending on your screen rez, and the Zoom-level, you might not be able to see the gap clearly, but the CTI will show you where it is.
    Good luck, and hope that it's just a gap,

  • Computer sound for multimedia

    Okay folks, here is yet another question about the (in)famous Gateway LX6810.
    When I bought this thing, I did a lot of research. That was 6 months ago. Back then, a lot of good consumer reviews were to be had. Things have obviously changed. In my seemingly never ending frustrations with Gateway tech support, I tried to get a straight answer about the included 7.1 sound system capabilities. The tech told me about a compatible 5.1 sound system (after I spent 15 minutes explaining to him what a 7.1 sound system was), and when I told him I was looking for a 7.1, he told me it wasn't supported. I asked WTH they made the computer with 7.1 capability when it wasn't supported, and he said he didn't know. Par for the course.
    I checked the BB site for a 7.1 system, but the only one I could find did not seem appropriate. Is there a compatible system available, and will BB be carrying one in the foreseeable future? Also, do I need more than speakers themselves, i.e. amp/recvr.? Can this thing be incorporated into a multimedia center?
    As always, all replies are appreciated. 
    There is no sound, no cry, no voice in all the universe that can be heard until someone listens...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I do not believe Best Buy will start carrying a 7.1 system because the demand is not there for this item. When you buy a 7.1 system, all of the speakers will connect to the subwoofer which acts as an amp. Each "group" of speakers will then connect to the computer from the subwoofer. Front (Left and Right), Center, Side-Surround (Left and Right) and Rear Surround (Left and Right).

  • Canon MX310 printer problem

    I purchased a Gateway LX6810-01 from BestBuy this past February. It came bundled with a Canon MX310 printer. I can copy, print and fax with the printer, however I can not get the scan function to work. I worked with Canon for days and nothing they tried would fix my problem, they finally told me to contact Gateway.
    I contacted Gateway, the printer is still under warranty, and they wanted to charge me about $700 to work on my problem. The last error message I got was "missing dependency 1068" "the dependency service or group failed to start" "windows could not start the (WIA) service on local computer" .
    First of all I would like my problem resolved. Secondly I am curious to know if anyone else that purchased this particular bundled product from BestBuy encountered the same problem and if so, why is this being bundled if it does not work. Thirdly, I am curious to know if switching from Windows Vista (64) to Windows 7 will solve my problem.
    All help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure they are the 64 bit drivers, you may have to download them from Canon's website.

  • PS CS2 - Vista 64 - Sticky cursor

    I have a Gateway LX6810-01 running Vista-64. 8 gig of memory.  Quite often with various tools and brushes the cursor becomes sticky.  I move the mouse and then the cursor jumps to the new location.  It usually happens when I've zoomed in to work on an area and then I scroll to a new area.  At this point it becomes sticky.  A work around is to zoom in or out just a little bit - it doesn't take much.
    I've run as administrator and I've run in XP compatibility mode.  My copy of Photoshop Elements has the same problem.  I also have a Microsoft wireless mouse.
    Anybody else having this problem?

    Migrated to Windows-7 64 bit and still had the problem.
    I encountered an additional problem with the mouse when I migrated. (ipoint.exe kept asking for \device\harddisk2\DR2)
    After trying several things I deinstalled the Intellipoint driver for my wireless optical mouse.
    Sticky mouse has gone away.  Mouse works fine using the system default mouse driver.

  • Retreiving pics off of old computer

    Hi all, first post.  I have a 5yr. old Emachines Media Center that has about 1,000 pics I'd like to somehow retrieve.  I'm planning on getting a new computer but would like to get these pics off of this computer first.  Tried numerous things to burn a DVD+RW and a DVD+R with no success.  I've used the DVD burner in the past (4+yrs. ago) but can't get any results now.  Every time I try it tells me to use a slower burn speed.  I'm using the lowest it has, 2X.  I'm trying to burn this from a Kodak Easyshare softwear where the pics are located.  Can the Geek Squad do this for me as I'm afraid I'm lost on the subject.  Would like to get the new computer ASAP from BestBuy as I watch a lot of streaming video (motorcycle racing) and would like the option of dual monitors as well as the update on speed and memory.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  TIA. Don Jr.

    Well, I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out and came up with a possible solution.  You all can tell me if it will work.  Can I network these computers together to get my Kodak Easyshare softwear to be usable on the new computer?  I've never networked computers together and don't really know if this is a viable solution or not.  Help...please.  BTW, been looking at the new Gateway LX6810-01 Media center.

  • ASA default gateway

    Estou montando um novo projeto de rede onde quero que o meu Switch de layer 3 seja o gateway da rede e o ASA o GATEWAY deste SWITCH. Hoje o ASA é o gateway da rede e tem 3 vlas criadas em interfaces virtuas.
    O problema é o seguinte quando crio as novas Vlans no switch não consigo ter comunicação entre as Vlans antigas que já estão configuradas no ASA mesmo criando ACL no ASA. quando pingo de um PC na nova VLAN para um PC que esta na VLAn já criada no ASA o pacote até chega no ASA mas recebo a seguinte mensagem "an ICMP session is removed in the fast-path when stateful ICMP is        enabled using the inspect icmp command."    
    Alguem já passou pro esse problema? quem poder ajudar agradeço muito.
    Obrigado!

  • Multiple gateways for different Traffic on ASA 5510 firewall

    Hello,
    My network atthe moment is set up as:
    WAN, with three sites
    Site 1
    Site 2
    Site 3
    Site 1 is behind a non-Cisco firewall, which is connected to the internet via a Frame Relay link (using a Cisco 1721 router). We host a number of servers on the Internal network and DMZ's.
    All sites connect to the WAN using Cisco routers or switches.
    All internet traffic (IN and OUT) for all sites goes via the non-Cisco firewall.
    I am interested in the ASA 5510 with six interfaces.
    Using the ASA 5510 is it possible to set up two (2) internet connections, one via the Frame Relay and a second internet connection via an ADSL connection?
    Then, is it possible to direct the outward-bound traffic via specific gateways based upon either:
    (a) the type of traffic, say HTTP from users behind the firewall; or
    (b) the IP addresses of the host (i.e. users' PC versus the servers)
    Any assistance is welcome.
    Kind regards,
    IT@C

    yes you can do this with policy routing on the internet router in front of the firewall assuming that you are connecting both ISPs to that router. Also, remember that you can do vlans on the ASA. This may cut down on the # of interfaces that you use in your config.

  • Unable to access the data from Data Management Gateway: Query timeout expired

    Hi,
    Since 2-3 days the data refresh is failing on our PowerBI site. I checked below:
    1. The gateway is in running status.
    2. Data source is also in ready status and test connection worked fine too.
    3. Below is the error in System Health -
    Failed to refresh the data source. An internal service error has occurred. Retry the operation at a later time. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft support for further assistance.        
    Error code: 4025
    4. Below is the error in Event Viewer.
    Unable to access the data from Data Management Gateway: Query timeout expired. Please check 1) whether the data source is available 2) whether the gateway on-premises service is running using Windows Event Logs.
    5. This is the correlational id for latest refresh failure
    is
    f9030dd8-af4c-4225-8674-50ce85a770d0
    6.
    Refresh History error is –

    managed IDataReader interface was being used: Query timeout expired. 
    Any idea what could have went wrong suddenly, everything was working fine from last 1 month.
    Thanks,

    Never mind, figured out there was a lock on SQL table which caused all the problems. Once I released the lock it PowerPivot refresh started working fine.
    Thanks.

  • Unable to refresh SQL Server data source through Data Management Gateway

    I just installed the version 1.1.5226.8 of Data Management Gateway and tried to refresh a simple query on a table connected to SQL Server, with no transformations in Power Query.
    This is the error I obtain:
    Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDataReader interface was being used: transfer service job status is invalid.
    I am wondering whether my Power BI is still not updated to handle such a connection type, or there could be something else not working?
    I correctly created the data source in admin panel following instructions in Release Notes, and
    test Power Query connection is ok.
    Marco Russo http://www.sqlbi.com http://www.powerpivotworkshop.com http://sqlblog.com/blogs/marco_russo

    I made other tests and I found important information (maybe there is a bug, but read the following).
    The functions DateTime.LocalNow and DateTime.FixedLocalNow
    work correctly, generating these statements to SQL Server:
        convert(datetime2, '2014-05-03 06:37:52.1135108') as [LocalNow],
        convert(datetime2, '2014-05-03 06:37:52.0525061') as [FixedLocalNow],
    The functions DateTimeZone.FixedLocalNow, DateTimeZone.FixedUtcNow,
    DateTimeZone.LocalNow, and DateTimeZone.UtcNow
    stop the scheduled refresh with the error I mentioned
    in my previous messages, generating these statements to SQL Server:
        '2014-05-03 06:37:52.0525061+02:00' as [TZFixedLocalNow],
        '2014-05-03 04:37:52.0525061+00:00' as [TZFixedUtcNow],
        '2014-05-03 06:37:52.1135108+02:00' as [TZLocalNow],
        '2014-05-03 04:37:52.1135108+00:00' as [TZUtcNow]
    I solved the issue by placing the DateTimeZone calls after a Table.Buffer call, so query folding does not translate in SQL these functions. However, it seems like something to fix.

  • Using Oracle ODBC Gateway connecting to a remote Oracle database

    Oracle 11gR2
    RHEL 6.4
    Has anyone use the Oracle ODBC Gateway to connect to another Oracle database?  Any issues with that configuration?  Where do I get the ODBC drivers for Linux?
    (I know, "why not use a dblink?" -- well that would be against company security policies)

    Hi,
       From the Oracle point of view we support using DG4ODBC for Oracle to Oracle connections. However, we have not actually tested it as DG4ODBC is primarily designed for access to non-Oracle databases.
    How DG4ODBC will work between Oracle databases depends on the ODBC driver and what that supports. You will need an ODBC Oracle driver which you can get from various suppliers including Oracle but also vendors such as DataDirect, Easysoft etc. You could try a Google search.
    You say you do not want to use database links but that is how DG4ODBC is used, You cannot do -
    sqlplus user/password@dg4odbc_oracle
    Once Dg4ODBC is setup and configured as in this note - if you are using Linux 64-bit -
    How to Configure DG4ODBC on 64bit Unix OS (Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX Itanium) to Connect to Non-Oracle Databases Post Install (Doc ID 561033.1)
    then in the Oracle database you create a database link and select from tables in the other Oracle database -
    select * from table@dg4odbc_db_link ;

  • Gateway FX and Blue Screen of Death

     Computer:
    Gateway FX 7024
    GeForce 8800GT 512 mb
     Problem:
     I've had the computer for 1 1/2 years with very few problems. Recently, the screen will lock up solid and be illegible with "static" lines all the way down the monitor. Sometimes before the screen locks up, it will flip to the blue screen of death, say it's dumping physical memory, and then lock up. Only thing I can do is restart, but it will do it again at random lengths of time. Happens more while I'm playing games than anything else. Sounds to me like the graphics card has gone Tango Uniform, but a computer guru, I am not. Any ideas?
     What I've done so far:
     I have checked for updated drivers and installed them.... no fix. I rolled back the drivers.... no fix. I have visually checked fans on power supply and graphics card to make sure they are working and they are fine. The fan on the motherboard spins, but doesn't appear to be moving overly fast. I checked BIOS and everything looks around what it should be for temp settings. In the "problems and solutions" application, it shows a video hardware error.
     The only thing i did notice was there is only a 400W power supply installed and from the posts I've read, the 8800GT graphics card should have a 700-900W power supply. However... I've never had problems with it before. Could this cause the problem after 1 1/2 years?
     help... i'm shaking from game withdrawals

    Visited a company IT department today and an engineer looked at the AT&T Net Client settings. It now works - this may have been the "fix" for those in a similar predicament (all in the AT&T Net Client):
    1. Click "Settings".
    2. Click "Show the login properties window".
    3. Click "Configure".
    4. Click "Next".
    5. Select the "Both the internet and my company's intranet" radio button.
    6. Select "Managed VPN - SSL DualAccess" from the dropdown.
    7. Click "Finish".
    Cheers,
    - Pete
