That is what XP did that time. This is the first time installing |
| 23 |
anything newer than XP tho. I did notice the install process sort of |
| 24 |
changed. I started to send a message to Gateway but it is out of |
| 25 |
warranty. I don't know if they charge for help or not but I wouldn't be |
| 26 |
surprised if they do. |

| 29 |
test them tomorrow. |
