I think I mentioned a while ago that we received one of my wife's grandfather's computers after he died. Its one of these Gateway Profile4's all in one units and has been driving me nuts as it apparently doesnt like to do what I want it to do.
I had to reformat and reinstall everything to fix the problems with the way her grandfather had installed/linked his multiple systems. I was constantly having to fix his computers for him, but he was very curious and tried to do many things himself.
Fortunatley, I had all of the original discs and the reformat/reinstall was relatively easy. The most difficult thing was having to leave it with XP home rather than Prof which I have on all my other systems. Furthermore, a bunch of the components had to be upgraded (software) which is odd since it was basically stock.
The only thing which is still perplexing me is why the USB keeps saying that its operating USB 2.0 devices at a slower rate due to the lack of USB 2.0 drives. I checked the system and according to the manufacturer all the USB inputs are 2.0. Anyone have an idea why it would default back to 1.0? Is this a bios issue, because I just realized as I am typing this I have yet to go into the Bios on this machine. (duh)
TIA.
