in the past 2 days my 2 month old gateway laptop boots as normal into the gateway boot screen, then nothing happens. if i restart it (by pressing on button!) it boots into a screen saying something like previous boot error press 1 to resume. once booted its fine in every way but why do i have to boot it twice? it just suddenly started happening in the last 2 days. thanks.

Is it running Vista, and if so have you loaded any new programmes/applications that may not be compatible with Vista?
A similar thing happened to my Gateway a few days ago after I loaded the software for my Netgear USB WG11T network adaptor. It seems that Vista prefers to use its own drivers and did not like Netgear's proprietory software.
I uninstalled the software and the problem was sorted.0 -
funny you should say that. the 2 things i have installed was a major update for the radeon graphics driver and a vista compatible logitech webcam, but I need both!? i have also noticed that when installing things from cd as administrator, it hangs just before finishing and i have to run setup again...Fr.
