geggytah Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 FWIW, here's a link to Gateway, discussing internet connection problems: http://support.gateway.com/s/Checklists/BP...007021226.shtml Also, for this or that problem through the years, I've knocked off processes via Task Manager to see if I could find an offending process. MS has a utility that is more extensive than TM...Process Explorer. I posted a link to it over on the Consumer Forum. i did wipe the HD and reinstall the OS (after the problem started, so the problem isnt on the OS install), so there shouldn't be anything in the TM that is affecting it

Bad OS install disk? Have you tried booting from a cd? Have you run CHKDSK? Set up the BIOS to give POST tones? http://support.gateway.com/s/Servers/COMPO...59199faq2.shtml Gone to a word processor, and insured that all the KYB characters work - lower and upper caps?
