Hi All:
I spoke to Gateway technical support about a week ago regarding my system
locking up when opening programs - specifically MS Works, Printshop and
Outlook Express. They came to the conclusion that I didn't have enough RAM.
I ordered more and installed it - now have 192 MB of RAM. It is installed
and system resources says I have that amount of RAM. Seems like the
programs that do work open faster but still have system lock-up on trying to
open Outlook Express and Printshop. MS Works is opening right now but that
might start locking up after a while too.
Their other suggestion was to reformat the hard drive - which I am not crazy
at all about doing. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions?? I
am just trying to get rid of this computer and give it to a relative but I
don't want to give it to them full of bugs.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kay
