First of all, hello everyone
I have a Gateway 400c that I purchased about 2 years ago. A few weeks ago my kids were on the internet and the next day I turn on the computer and the color settings are all messed up. I have them set to High 16 bit but the only colors in there are blue, yellow and white. Frustrated with the situation (and my kids, lol) I decided to just restore the computer and start over from scratch.
Not only did it not fix the color settings, but during startup, I get all these messages that say this file may or may not be needed by Windows to run and if you've removed the program on purpose, try uninstalling. So I go to Add/Remove Programs, and there is nothing in the box to remove, yet after restoration, all of my files remain on the hard drive. I have only one System Restoration CD and the Windows 98 CD. During installation of Windows, it always says it can't find the files. Ahh, I'm just in bad shape.
Gateway's support website is nothing short of terrible and speaking with their tech personnel did nothing. I'm hoping someone here can help me. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who tries to help
