New Gateway FX Laptop

I bought a Gateway FX Laptop yesterday from a local Best Buy. It seems kind of faulty to me but I wanted to see if annyone else on here had an opinion on what it could be. I often have to click several times in the internet on a link before it will go to the next page. Otherwise it loads forever and then says it cannot open that page. If this happens, I go back and then click it again and the page opens right away. Also, it seems kind of slow and I thought this computer was supposed to be FAST!! When installing a few programs, it froze during the installation and wouldnt let me go to my task manager. If i could get to the task manager, i stopped the installation and then tried re-installing the program. It would then get further in progress and freeze again. Does anyone else think i should return this and get a new one??

I think the internet is fine. Its a fast connection that worked with the previous laptop I had just fine. Our router is in its own room with a desktop computer. I am running wireless to this laptop. Also, we have another laptop that runs wireless with no problems at all. It works most of the time on my new laptop, but won't every now and then. The freezing on installation of programs was another problem i was having. one program went fine but then itunes kept freezing. I restarted my computer and then itunes installed after that. I can work around the problems, but feel that I shouldn't have to when i just bought this laptop that is new and was over $1,000. It seems kind of laggy at times too. With the specifications it has, it should be blazing fast all the time.

  • My Creative player won't work on my somewhat new Gateway

    I bought a brand new all in one gateway in Jan and my Creative player has never worked on it. It wasn't too big a deal because it worked great with my laptop but now my laptop is dying. The gateway won't recognize it. Both the gateway and laptop are running Windows 7. is anyone else having this problem? Thanks in advance.

    Freedom1,
    It would be helpful for others to reply to your post if you include what model do you have.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a newer faster pc laptop? Do I have to take a copy of my iTunes library on the hard drive of the old(er) pc laptop and load it onto the hard drive of my new(er) pc laptop?

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a new(er), faster pc laptop? Do I have to make a copy of the iTunes library on the old pc laptop and re-install it on the new(er) pc laptop? Is it something that can de done using the actual iPod itself?

    This is the method I would normally recommend:
    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.

  • I installed firefox on a new Win 8 laptop, and my account can not sync with my Win 7 laptop.

    I recently purchased a new Win 8 laptop. When I installed firefox and go to sync in option, it doesn't give me the old 4x3 box with code. When I entered my email, it couldn't find my account either.
    I am not sure where is the problem, because my old Win 7 laptop and HTC One X are both synced, when I could use the 4x3 box. The Win 7 firefox and Win 8 firefox are both ver 29.0.1, but the sync tab in option looks different.
    In summary, I have two problems
    1) My old laptop has a sync account set up long ago, but not firefox is not recognizing my account by my email.
    2) My new laptop doesn't give me the 4x3 sync code.
    3) Just for safety, is there a way to export all of my firefox setting and bookmark from my win 7 laptop? This way I can have the files for backup, in case my sync account is corruptedd or something, and maybe I can import the files to the new laptop this way.
    Please let me know if there are solutions to these problem. Thanks!

    Hi joey0352,
    Yes check out the article about Firefox profiles:[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    The profile folder will have all of the information stored in it on your Windows 7 computer. If you have any questions about moving the file we are happy to post back.

  • Problems installing update PS CS5 on new Windows 7 laptop w/ prior PS vers. already installed

    Hi,
    When I first got my new Windows 7 laptop, I tried loading PSCS5 onto it, but since it was an update disk, and previous versions weren't there, it didn't load. I finished my work during a 30-day trial period on a recent sabatical, I uninstalled it and all PS files except images saved, and have now gone through the following process in attempt to load it:
    1) Loaded PS 6.0 from a CD and serial number that I own--no problems
    2) Loaded PS CS2 from a CD and serial nuimber I own--no problems
    3) Loaded PSCS5 from an update CD also purchased, and got an error message saying something about CS4 needing to be uninstalled before CS4 could be properly loaded.
    Puzzling because A: I never loaded CS4, and B: was not trying to. So I uninstalled everything conceivably troubling from Adobe, even Flash Player, Patch files, but not ASA or Adobe Download Helper. Some Adobe files left behind I deleted and emptied the recycle bin and restarted over several different times. To my knowledge, my CS5 has only been used on one other computer. Do I need to de-activate it on the other one? I don't find it on a 3rd computer, but if it was simply uninstalled, without de-activation, would I need to re-install it to deactivate it on the 3rd one. I'm hoping somebody can help me tell how many computers have CS5 activation.
    Now, I've tried simply loading the CS2 disk and going to the PSCS5, and that failed, so I re-did steps 1-3 after purging also Lightroom3 and DreamWeaver CS3, thinking something from them might've been the culprit (though they earlier loaded flawlessly after a de-activation of DW on another computer). This time the Adobe Support box came up and after searching the system or whatever, said 'no problems could be found', and that I should contact Adobe Support. No FAQ's address this problem and a scan of forums was not helpful. So here I am.
    Any ideas? If it is lack of a Registry entry, it would be helpful to know exactly which one and how precisely to get it and patch that into Windows 7 for those of us who are not IT geeks. I'm guessing this might be a recurrent issue and it would be helpful to simply have that code to patch in, if it is known.
    Otherwise, I'm stuck using CS2, which while OK, is not CS5.
    All my Adobe products have been purchased originally purchased and activated by me.
    Thanks for any help,
    Michael J Kissane

    Hi Jeff,
    After reading your mail, I've un-installed the previous versions now
    (both 6.0 and CS2), including manually some files listed as
    impossible to uninstall under the PS 6.0 wizard (Adobe Program files
    x86, something). I restarted the computer (Lenovo running Windows 7
    Home Premium).
    I then tried to run the PS CS5 Upgrade disk directly and it failed
    with suggestion to go to the ASA, which said quickly "Inspection
    could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for
    further assistance"... and the website for same.
    I recall I did get a box with a request for the qualifying
    prerequisite's serial when I first tried this in December, but not
    having that on hand and after failing (I believe I even tried getting
    serials from 'My Adobe' resource) I punted and went for the trial
    period to finish my project. The rest I've written about in my forum posting.
    I'm hoping info from Maggie_8 from the forum
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3880631#3880631 may get me through
    it. Otherwise, I don't know if I can save what's on the new laptop to
    an external HD and start all over after back tracking to a previous
    point (this was possible in older Windows OS, I recall, but one lost
    anything not saved elsewhere as the clock was turned back, so to speak)
    Frustrating...I had problems with Adobe Reader, too, and I hope I've purged it.
    Will persevere, but without wasting eons of time. Other fish to fry
    and all that...

  • Bought brand new Toshiba A500 laptop, but no Windows 7-64 CD/DVD

    Bought brand new Toshiba A500 laptop, but no Windows 7-64 CD/DVD's came with it, just the programs installed on the computer. Since I have been a long-time Dell customer, where all programs installed also come with various CDs/DVDs, I am rather surprised, especially when you consider that I bought a complete Win 7 Utl OS. Where are the discs? For me this can be a future deal breaker. Is Toshiba so confident that their machines will never need to see an OS disc?

    they havent put the discs in with there products for a few year now. there is a recovery partition on the hard drive you can use for a recovery. they also have a program called recovery media creator on your laptop to make your own recovery media. it is a way that if people dont make the recovery media you have to call and order some and toshiba gets another $25 for the user. there is a section in your users guide( search users guide in start menu) about page 60 shows how to recover from partition.
    hope that helps

  • I deactivated Acrobat 9 Pro from a Windows 8 laptop and installed it on a new Windows 8 laptop and got the error message "Invalid Serial Number." I am entitled to this installation, can someone help?

    I deactivated Acrobat 9 Pro from a Windows 8 laptop and installed it on a new Windows 8 laptop and got the error message "Invalid Serial Number." I am entitled to this installation, can someone help?

    I see that the number in my Adobe Account is a MAC serial number – I purchased both the Mac and Windows versions of the program. I tried to enter the serial number of the Windows version into my account and it says it’s already registered. But when I installed the Windows version on a Windows computer I got the invalid serial number message. They have two different serial numbers! Can you help me with this?

  • New windows 8 laptop and 4S sync

    Need help . . .
    Have been using my Windows 7 notebook to sync and backup the 4S along with the cloud service.
    Copied the photo, apps, contact, and music to the new laptop with the Windows 8.
    The issue that I have is that the device recognizes the old laptop as a valid source to sync the photo, books, and tones.
    I deauthorized and signed off from the old laptop but the device still recognizes the old laptop as well as the new laptop.  The device recognizes the new laptop for app sync only.
    I have one Apple ID while each ID is being used for the new and old laptop.
    My goal is to transition to the new laptop and use the new laptop as the valid and exclusive source for device sync.
    Need help on how to get there . . .
    Appreciate the timely feedback (have been figuring this out for the last two days).

  • New windows 8 laptop gives error 800 when tries to connect to vpn and it is unable to connect to softphone as well.

    Hi,
    I am trying to switch over my work computer from a windows 7 laptop to a new windows 8 laptop so far I have not been able to connect to the VPN on windows 8. The windows 7 connects without an issue and is still connected. The same for my softphone using
    the same settings it connects on windows 7 but says account failed to enable on windows 8. I am only using windows defender as I uninstalled the anti virus software that came pre-installed. 
    Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi,
    Error 800: Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be un-reachable, or security parameters may not be configured properly for this connection.
    Please temporarily disable Windows firewall and Windows defender to check if that helps.

  • Are there any new Macbook pro laptops coming out soon?

    Are there any new Macbook pro laptops coming out soon? Because if there are i will wait to buy one.

    There are always new MacBook Pro models coming out soon. However with current 2011 models you can install the faster, Rosetta program loving OS X Snow Leopard with a hack, instead of the new clitchy and unstable OS X Lion.
    So you have a choice now, but for not much longer. If you wait another 6 -8 months, Lion will be stable and more programs will be compatible with it.
    If this is your first Mac, I would wait. If you can do a simple hack with another Snow Leopard Mac, then you can opt to get one now and revert it to Snow Leopard and have a stable machine.
    Else take your chances with Lion.
