2951.	Solve : Don't Let Them Spy on Your Loved Ones?
Answer» So I wish to start with the loved ones, even though there are other new groups that are going to be using the Net for activities they may not be used to. But here the loved ones. The mothers and fathers; the aunts and uncles; and others. I also want to state that there are older folks that are very good at security, but it might be not too much of a stretch to state that there may be many new older folks using the Net that don't have a lot of experience at basics. Especially if they are shopping online for the first time. Or having stuff delivered after doing the shopping. Other things. Somebody please help with ideas under "other things". We have a lot of new folks using the Net because of the medical troubles around the planet. So what I am wondering is if anyone can help with putting together a list of ways to give instructions to the many new people using the Net as to how to be careful against those bad people spreading computer VIRUS stuff and spyware and all other manner of bad stuff. This is going to be bad people delight time and so getting out information to stop the bad people has taken on a whole new urgency. Who knows of material that can help accomplish security for your loved ones that are new to all this? "Accomplish" means teaching your loved ones the ins-and-outs in a very easy to understand way. Maybe videos. Material that uses images can be helpful. What ideas do you folks have? Security at its most basic level. Ideas, folks! Ideas!! And to the admin and mods; I placed this here instead of in "Other" because this is about as basic as one can get at protecting people from virus and spyware programs and when people come here to enquire about this topic they will automatically come here first and not in that "other" place.

And I moved this to "other" because the Malware forums on this site are used exclusively for people asking for a malware specialist to assist them in ridding their systems of malware. It would seem there is some controversy related to a communications tool that has a commercial name of Zoom? Do I have that right? I am afraid I do not use that tool for communications. Nor have I in the past. Have any of you used that tool? Do any of you have concerns related to the use of the tool? I will also confess that I am not sure if any link to a BBC article on that topic will be allowed here? I mean something related to the CEO of that company, if I am remembering correctly what I read some hours ago and have a little extra time to place a thought or two here. Well, those were questions I put here. Anyway, what's up with the Zoom thing?The ZOOM problem is under control. But if you are afraid to use it on your PC , just go buy a economy smart phone with a large screen and use it for ZOOM video chat. Also, you can buy a low-cost Windows 10 notebook from Amazon for about $1140 with a ten inch screen. That is just right for a ZOOM video chat. I am going to use an RCA model for my ZOOM meetings. I got it from Amazon with a warranty. An no, I did not buy ZOOM stock nor did anybody pay me for this post. EDIT.. For more info about ZOOM just Google the word ZOOM and get lots of links. I'm still FOCUSING on tutorials that anyone might know about that could be in a video format, but also text would be fine. Yes, the idea of not allowing access to a device or records about a device is very good, but there is much more to security than that, isn't there? And apologies for the lengthy time away, but the medical situation has been not so great and what time I've had for the Net has had to be on other matters.I have managed to get my parents to never take any email or text message at face value, any email starting with dear customer, or as a valued member. Is not to be taken seriously, they regularly get emails saying there Paypal account has been compromise and should login to update their password. Having never had a Paypal account, this is easy for them to spot, but when an email arrives with the name of a company they do use (BY PURE CHANCE) they take it at face value and trust it just because they have seen the company logo and the email looks correct. There are plenty of helpful security guides and tools try this https://www.fasterbroadband.co.uk/tools/data-breach-search this site also has a good list of resources and explains about online scams. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/work-learning/technology-internet/internet-security/. I have recently had my elderly neighbour (80s) conned when they gave access to there PC to a call centre pretending to be from Microsoft. They sent him to a screen sharing website and then took control and changed the password of the PC then asked for £1000 to let him back in. I could not believe that someone could fall for this type of con but it's made me realise that it's not obvious to all. How does the posting of the "Faster Broadband" link aid us in basic security awareness .for the average Internet Citizen? Although, it does aid me in highlighting a feature of so many sites that make claims of one advantage or another in providing information --- they want your email address. I view the easily offering up of one's email address to entities on the Internet as more than a MINOR problem when we are thinking about security. But let us return to that aspect of Internet security at a later date. I want to go into that above at a later date because I do find the "ageUK" site to be very much worth the effort to look it over. And I thank you, Pratchett, for sharing that link with us. While it seems the focus is on us aged types, although we are very young if we compare our age to the age of humans since they showed up on this planet, --- anyway, the "ageUK" site has information that is useful to all AGES, not just us that are a tad older than some of you might be. Again, thank you Pratchett for that link. By the way, if anyone wants to do the folks that run "ageUK" a favor, you might ask them to correct their grammar, even though it is a common error. Down at the bottom of their 'About Us' page you'll see this with the phone number they provide: Quote We're open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Technically, that means Monday thru (through) Thursday. This is a very common error and all sorts of even quite smart folks make the mistake. I would bet they mean Monday thru Friday. One doesn't always have to donate cash to help an organization. By the way, the 9am to 5pm highlights my point exactly --- at 5:01 they probably don't answer any more calls. One more point, please; I don't want to just focus on us that are a tad older than some of you --- I am thinking about security on the Net for all Net Citizens. In fact, it might very well be that it is the youngest members of this new Net World that are most at risk. I don't think there is a law on the books of any nation about a minimum age to use the Net, is there? It might very well be the very young are at risk more than us older humans.And with the thought of the human youngsters on the Net I went looking and found the following from also in the UK: Safety Net KidsWhen explaining the security pit falls to parents they couldn't grasp why they are receiving targeted mail when they don't give anyone their email address. That opened up the explanation of data breaches. It was initially found and used as a demonstration, but found the results quite a stark reminder to myself about changing passwords. Admittedly this website could be gathering the data but the results did show websites that I have used. But that opened up another rabbit warren of do's and don'ts. No names but I do know people who use one password for every account and device, and they are to stubborn to change it, they also write PIN then 4 numbers on the inside of a phone case which is in the same handbag as the purse. LOLI appreciate the explanation, Pratchett. And you highlight something that should be at the top of the list of security concerns --- the way you handle a password. And on this one I have big problems! Firstly, letting any software remember your password on any site or through any commercial software you might buy or rent or whatever that arrangement might be, is way beyond my view as a good idea. I think only you should know your password and maybe a spouse of more than about 5 or so years and maybe your child of about 15 or so years. And definitely no cyborgs or machines or software! And writing down your passwords is also a bad - bad - bad - idea --- in my view. Passwords should stay in your head, except for a few exceptions noted above and with limitations on years of association. (And that one about restrictions related to years you've known the spouse will certainly get me in trouble with some of you, yes? The restriction on the children seems safe enough, no? I mean, before about 15ish or a bit less do the children REALLY understand security and keeping some information away from their "best friend"?) Okay, so how does one go about creating a password that can be remembered? Yes, do not use addresses or phone numbers or such like that without some modification --- but clever modification. My idea: Take a simple word you are going to remember --- like 'rock' --- and turn it backwards to - kcor - now I think you can remember that rather easily, yes? Now we have the middle. Next add some number you know very well and turn that around, too. Here is where you can use your phone number to help you, except them fancy new iPhone thingies from Star Trek have fancy long and weird numbers folks so old like me can't deal with so easily, so we use that normal style here. Maybe the last 4 digits of a 'normal' phone is 9656. So we take 'kcor' and tag the following to that - 65kcor69 - Then we throw in * and we have for a rather neat password 65kcor69 and that will be viewed by that fancy software that is checking as close to "strong" and it is a password that if you remember the simple word "rock" and your phone number and remember that all that is backwards and that you added that funny star thing --- well, I think you have a password that is safe and you can remember. You can toss in an upper case 'K' and 'R' as bookends to the letters and that fancy 'How-Good-Is-Your-Password' software will give you an additional 'strong' to what it was programmed to view as safe --- maybe you get 'stronger' or even 'strongest'. Or whatever the heck those programs label the password strength as. And 'site association' can be used to make a basic password built like I explained above special for a certain site. Okey-dokey, folks; let me know what is wrong or right with that idea up there I am offering up as solution one to problem one of Net Security --- passwords. Remember, I'm just an old fart trying to help and could have things all way wrong, so fire away, please. Thank you.

2961.	Solve : putting WMP 7.1 on Win95a???
Answer» Good morning, I am using an aging Packard Bell 4610 Legend, Pentium, Mhz 120/72RAM, running Win95a with IE 5.01, SP#2. Someone told me I MIGHT be able to download and use WMP 7.1 on my system EVEN though it wasn't supported by Microsoft. I went to this site: http://www.pppr.sk/rainbow/wmp71w95.html and followed the directions but couldn't pull it off. When I went to execute the batch file after unpacking the zip files I got a message saying I was trying to install something that was not supported on my systam. Just curious if anyone else has had any success in putting 7.1 on Win95. Thanks and regards, 2harts4everits for win98 upwards but why not try again from this site>http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/software/playerV7.aspxHi merlin, Thanks for suggestion. Just TRIED that site and when I tried to install the setup program the message about trying to install it on an unsupported operating system came up and wouldn't let me go any further. I appreciate your help. Guess I will stick with WMP 6.4.

2962.	Solve : Re: read-writable file?
Answer» You cannot CHANGE the FILE attributes on cd-r media. It is a backup to restore the files to the state they were in at the time you WROTE the cd. If your drive and backup software supports rewritable media that is what you should use. You should ALSO note that if you restore files from the cd-r media to the HD, they will be RESTORED as read only and the attribute will have to be reset.

2964.	Solve : curiosity?
Answer» I have a blog. The blog is open to everyone. I get statistics by google. I have 300000 views. I believe it means thousands of people. From 126 countries all over the world. No ads. If you write "jokes" in google, I'm not in the 1st 10, not even in the 1st 100. So how they find my link? Some EXPERTS answered me: robots. It does not seems LOGICAL. Robots should make random statistics, but in my blog, 90% of the views are from 2 countries, and in 10 YEARS the amount of views per day/week/mount, is almost the same. In another blog, no views at all. The robots love 1 blog better than the other? Thanks and Best RegardsGoogle shows your blog if it has quality content, good structure and usability, good backlinks. Compare the two BLOGS and determine the better the quality of one compared to the other. Perhaps the THEME of one blog is better and more useful for users. An important role is played by the age of the blog.Ranking on google means understanding big algorithm. They have 200+ signals. Make your website more useful for the user and focus on developing quality content.

2965.	Solve : How to make customer support Worse. Or Better?
Answer» How to make customer support worse. If you want to make your technical support center even worse than it already is here is a simple formula. Stop hiring people that know what they're doing and higher a few smart Alec's were telling you he can be all done with computers. Have them prepare a whole list of hard to understand forms and menus and put that up on a website and tell the people this is their new improved support plan. Of course, it is sure to fail. The only way you will know that it is failing is when people stop buying your product because they've been receiving negative reviews on social media. Stop and think about it. People RESPOND the people more than may do computers. Although this seems to be a group of people who think that computers are better than people for solving problems that people have. Don't listen to them. They will destroy your business. I've had some difficult times with my local bank and with a software company whose product I really enjoy. In fact, I am using their product right now to dictate this complaint. Fortunately, the program will allow me to more uses until it shuts down completely because I cannot fill out their insane act vacation requirements. Actually, I have activated the program and I am still the same person and this is still my computer. The problem is my computer has some hardware issues and also it sometimes PICKS up malware. This means that from time to time I have to install my operating system on a clean hard drive and reinstall my favorite programs, including this one. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to let the activation center know that I am the same person and that I am not making an extra copy of the program to sell to somebody else. I'm just reinstalling it on my computer. And yes, I do have a login to get into the support, but I have lost the password. That's what happens when you have to wipe your hard drive and start over again. Most of my data is backed up, but some of the password lists are not complete. How to make it Better. Those COMPANIES out there that are considering improving their help center should follow the example of MICROSOFT. Microsoft makes it fairly easy to activate a program or an operating system purchased from Microsoft. Once the program has been activated, it is not necessary to go through a lot of trouble to reinstall it on the same computer. Somehow Microsoft has a way of knowing that you're using the same computer and that you have not copied their program or operating system on to somebody else's computer. Other companies need to follow that example and do It the Way, Microsoft does. But in the event that something does go wrong, Microsoft does have a phone number that users can call in and talk to a real person. In some cases that is the only way to solve a problem person has. This is especially true for individuals that have some additional problems, such as other people interfering with what they're trying to do and hardware that doesn't work right. In that case you can call Microsoft directly and talk a real person and to explain to them your real problem that is not listed on a form or FAQ. By the way, the product I am using is called Dragon naturally speaking. When the activation fails it directs me to the website and proceeds to forget what program I am using. How can it possibly forget what program I am using? I would contact Nuance directly, and I used to be able to do that, but I can no longer find a support more number where I could call somebody directly at some convenient time and talk to real person. APPARENTLY someone has decided to keep that information secret. End of rant. What about you? Have you ever had this kind of non-support incident? What good examples can you name?

2966.	Solve : Help Needed on which program I can use?
Answer» Hi I'm not sure if this is where I should be posting for this sort of help....I am a bit of a novice regarding programs. I have recently become secretary of my local bowling club and would like to advise our members on upcoming events on the TV in the lobby. I would like to be ABLE to put the info on a USB stick which I can update weekly and then plug it into the TV. I would be obliged if anyone could tell me if there is a program I could use to do this or please tell me if I shouldn't be asking for this kind of help here Thank You ASRWell if your TV has a option to display pictures for a SET period of time and then move on through the folder of pictures as a slideshow that is one way to do this. If the TV requires you to manually select each image to view then you would want to have a computer such as one with a HDMI port to cast the output of the computer to the tv set through its HMDI input. One of my favorite slide SHOW programs to use is Power Point to which you can create really good informative slides and have them set to a timer for each slide to show for a set period of time and then move to the next, as well as you can have neat animations happening that draws the eye to the screen to see whats there vs a static picture with no movement or text showing up creatively to the screen. If you have Microsoft Office you would have access to power point. If you don't have Microsoft Office and willing to use an open source free program to do this then your choices are Open Office or Libre Office to which Impress can be used. https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/impress/ Lastly if your TV has a VGA port to connect a computer to it, you can use this to display the slideshow from a laptop or desktop computer; however, VGA can not display the higher resolutions as HDMI can and so HDMI should be used instead of VGA if you want sharp picture quality and are casting the slideshow to the TV from a PC.Thanks for your reply I do have Powerpoint (2003) and I never thought of using it because I was looking for something to run independent of a computer. Anyway you have given me a couple of ideas and I will see if I can work out something. Thanks again Alex

2969.	Solve : mySQL and Bad RAM?
Answer» Just sharing how I thought mySQL would be pretty solid given that its a transactional database on a laptop i have that I was building data with parsing info online that is public domain and dropping the data into my database to run an analysis on. I knew using this laptop that it has a RAM stick that failed MEMTEST86 but otherwise it never CRASHED and acted fine. The reason to run MEMTEST86 on it was because I run it on all systems I get just as a QUICK test of system health. The RAM in this system didnt fail every test loop, but like 2 out of 6 would show a pattern mismatch. So I used it mainly because it otherwise never crashes on me and never shows any signs of illness and it was the closest laptop to grab and load up to run this project that I have. Well after 9 hours of running all was going good. I went to end my program that I had to automate and gather info and thats when the BSOD hit. Upon reboot of the laptop, I went to start mySQL which I have set to manual start for the service and mySQL shows many error messages but the mySQL database is up and running. Before messing around in the database I performed a backup of it performing the alldatabases dump and it completed that way to quickly. The dump of all databases usually takes about a minute and it completed in about 8 seconds. So I looked at the alldatabases SQL dump file to see how far it got before it bailed out to see what table etc it was dumping when it hits the alldatabase dump to sql backup fail condition. Wrote that down and looked at the log file and saw the error messages. So then went to perform a database repair in which I thought mySQL had like a shadow copy feature where it kept a previous good state which the repair could be run from, to rebuild the database but I was wrong. It seems as the only way to maybe protect myself from a total trashing of the mySQL database is to have multiple machines running that database with a master-master mode or a cluster with a team of systems to handle this. However... if you have one server that has BAD RAM, I am curious if it would poison the other healthy systems database mirrors since rules are thrown out the door when RAM goes BAD. It might just crash that one server system that had the bad memory and the others that are healthy keep the database up, but it could also allow for corrupt information from a bad memory stick to write to all other systems databases and one bad apple spoils the bunch. Curious if anyone knows the answer to this, if bad memory on one system can poison the other systems databases through replication to where having redundancy isnt even a cure for a problem like this? Is there any fail safe to a system turning rogue when it loses its mind due to memory error(s) to protect the other systems such as a check into the systems health before replication of data between systems? If something like this doesnt exist to test health of systems it could make for someone a neat little fail safe project program to work with mySQL or MARIADB etc to test another systems event logs for signs of trouble before a replication interval maybe, however a RAM faulire could happen during the replication process in which its not detected. The good thing is that I didnt lose all my data to have to start from scratch. I perform a dump after each time running this so i have a restore point to continue to build from. But 9 hours of processing was lost because I was to trusting in a system that otherwise behaved even though memtest86 warned me to steer clear of using this system for anything important. Just replaced the BAD Samsung ( 2 x 1GB DDR2 533Mhz ) RAM sticks with another set of Known Good Kingston ( 2 x 1GB DDR2 533Mhz ) KTD-INSP6000A/1G RAM sticks out of a parts donor but otherwise healthy but extremely to weak in processing power single-core Celeron M to install into this for more processing powerful Core 2 Duo laptop and running a MEMTEST86 on system now to verify that the RAM issue is fixed and not memory controller related.There is no realistic fault-tolerance for any database system if memory errors cannot be detected, except to have say daily backups from the database itself, and hope to be able to go back to before said corruption. "Real" database servers will have ECC Memory. (They also don't usually run on old, second-hand/third hand laptops and desktops... ) Memory errors will cause hardware failure before they propagate to the database. In most such servers those sorts of errors fall under the same as too many Fans failing, in that the system shuts down. So as soon as memory starts to have issues, suddenly the system starts to die and you know immediately that service is needed. Basically as soon as it becomes unsuitable as a database server it would die. While the system is running it replicates to a second server. That second server acts as a fail-over if the first one dies for any reason. Because the first one won't replicate memory errors to the second memory errors cause instant SHUTDOWN, the fail-over can be considered reliable. And that second one can have a third fail-over and so forth depending on how much reliability or how many failures can be expected.Thanks for that info BC ... Now I realize the importance of a server grade system vs a standard off the shelf computer for database servers. ECC Memory has its advantages for Error Correction that standard computers dont have. I have a Dual DualCore-CPU server with 16GB ECC RAM that I could use I suppose, but its power hungry, so I think I will take my chances with this system with the new good used RAM in it that passed 10 of 10 full tests. The server has a 1000 watt power supply in it and consumes about 365 watts when idle. The Core 2 Duo laptop uses about 52 watts of power, so in 9 hours of runtime the consumption of server is 3.285kW and laptop is .468kW. If the project was mission critical then sure I'd pay the power company more money to run this, but its worth the risk of another crash with this laptop for now, and I doubt it will crash again as for MEMTEST86 shows this pair of memory sticks installed today as being healthy whereas the other pair of RAM that came with the Gateway laptop failed 2 out of 6 full tests with a pattern mismatch at the same memory address in the 632MB block. Its not for a business or anything like that, its just information gathered and then reports are created after that show statistical info. Cost comparison based on 15 cents per kWh shows the server using 49.3 Cents of power in what the laptop can do for 7 cents. If it was a business project where its mission critical, I'd pay the EXTRA to be safe I suppose.

2976.	Solve : printer cartridge problem - Hewlett Packard 5740?
Answer» I have an old HP printer & an old e-mac, but, apart from the slowness, no problems. Printer: Hewlett Packard 5740 printer. I have 2 HP cartridges in place - a #97 lge. size color cartridge & #97 BLACK cartridge. I have been printing, the cartridges are not low on ink. - Now suddenly I am getting a blinking light on my printer & a printer message on computer saying that the black ink cartridge is not compatible with my printer. I have taken it out, reinstalled it - still the same message. I have been printing with it right along - now this message & there is seemingly no way to over ride it. the cartridge is fine, it the right model # 97 - I've been printing with it! Any help appreciated - short of giving up & buying a new printer, I don't know what to do. This is crazy!There are a great number of options for you to try and overcome this issue. I accept that ALL the equipment involved is unchanged and has worked properly in the past. The easiest attempt would be to replace the black ink cartridge and see the result. The next would be to take the black cartridge to an ink refilling station and have them reset the microchip (if it has one). You can also TOTALLY uninstall the printer hardware/software and reinstall it. This method should ONLY be tried if you have the manual and the original software installation DISK. Or if you can find both as available online. Because as if you say the printer is old finding the appropriate drivers for it online now may not be possible. Without going into DETAILS (because for some reason most ink jet printer users are intimidated by the process) you can also purchase the materials to replace the cartridge/chip and bulk ink/hardware to do all this yourself. You need to be aware that any costs to try and resolve this issue with the same printer should be weighed against the purchase of a replacement. Printers by in large are almost FREE in order to sell the cartridges. If you do go for a replacement be careful to ensure that it will be compatible with your Apple computer model.truenorth

2980.	Solve : Having trouble with video files on Vizio tablet?
Answer» I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I picked up a Vizio 8 inch tablet for my daughter for Christmas. So far she's been loving it, but I am not having any luck with transferring movie files to it. First I tried uploading one of those 'digital copies' that come with dvds and blurays these days, and I got the message that it could not be played. I then downloaded a program called 'Handbrake' and tried converting that file to an mp4, but it seems like it can't or won't finish the conversion. I am in the process right now of trying to convert an avi of another movie I have to see if that will work. I THINK my main question is why do those digital copies not play on the tablet? In the file properties they are listed as wmv files which is a format that the Vizio tablet supports, so why doesn't it work? What am I missing here?When converting with HandBrake are you using the standard FFMPEG medium-quality .mp4 preset or are you using the H.264 .mp4 preset? There have been REPORTS of the mid-quality preset failing to work on various versions of HandBrake. http://vizio.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/204/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzI1NDE3MzI3L3NpZC9zMVVzNDJOaw%3D%3D WMA, WMV, AVI, MP3, MP4, JPG, JPEG, AAC, ASF, 3GP, H.263, H.264. It supports AVI natively too... As for the WMV files not PLAYING... perhaps there may be a sort of DRM protection preventing you from copying the files to an external device? You said they come with the DVDs... http://www.buzzle.com/articles/how-to-remove-drm-from-wmv-files.html Yeah try converting the movies you have again and post results. Happy New Year!Don't know if this is relevant to your tablet however recently i was attempting this on an Mp 4 player (transferring video) and noted that not only is the file format LIMITATIONS a factor but also the resolution size was also limited to specific criteria. Is that a factor here? truenorth

2986.	Solve : Need Laptop Advice-Please help?
Answer» I recently ordered a Toshiba L755-S5308 with an i5 processor, 320 gb and 4kb of memory from Best Buy. I was informed last night that they are now out of stock and they would like to replace it for the same price with a Gateway NV57H57u. It has the same processor, better graphics package and more memory. Although they are giving me 6 gb of memory when the 4 probably would be sufficient. My dilemna is that I am not familiar with the Gateway laptop and have been unable to find a review of this particular one. I really wanted a Toshiba but this is the only option Best Buy would give me for the same price. Any insight you can give me or knowledge would be greatly appreciate, I am running out of time before Christmas. Thank you for any help or guidance you can give me. I will be using this laptop mainly in the HOME for the internet, email and some gaming, mostly games through Facebook. I won't be doing anything real tech savvy. Just looking for a reliable computer that will get me where I need to go in a timely fashion. Thank you. If you have your heart set on the Toshiba then i would suggest you wait for it.Apparently Best Buy claims they will be having them available again in 1-2 weeks. Also while they seem to be sold out online have you asked a local Best Buy retail outlet to see if any store in their network has one? Generally speaking Toshiba comes out with better reviews than Gateway. Give yourself or the recipient a card with a promise to fulfill when the product is available. You could also try calling Toshiba and tell them your wishes and problem who knows given the Christmas spirit they may come through for you. I own a Toshiba laptop and my limited involvement with them has been positive. Good luck.truenorth http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gateway+-+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i5+Processor+/+15.6%26%2334%3B+Display+/+6GB+Memory+-+Blue/3792507.p?id=1218432158809&skuId=3792507 It has exactly the same Intel HD 3000 graphics as does the Toshiba, so I would go with the more reputable manufacturer, in this case Toshiba. Gateway is a rather obscure computer manuf. where I live, and the few models I have seen in stores are usually budget netbooks/entry level 14'' laptops. I have not been able to find any reviews on the Gateway-nv57h57u online, just like you...The Gateway is built by ACER as are many others brands. Who makes ACER? Your guess is as good as mine. lol Through my perusing the net, I have learned there are only a handfull of companies who make laptops for all manufacturers. Like you however, I have always had very good luck with Toshiba products in general, but I must say that ASUS is another company you should consider. I build my own home machines, and always buy ASUS boards, but also while perusing the net, I learned that ASUS was one of the top, trusted names in laptops. I don't own one, yet, so can't comment on reliability, customer SERVICE etc. I just bought my HP dv6-6117dx for $429 from Best Buy nov 27th, and was able to get it at the store which was nice, imediate gratification. lol This thing has Beats Audio which is great over headphones, the speakers are so/so, but over full on headphones, it's awsome as Beats puts out 2 clean watts unlike most that only put out 1 watt. Some think Beats Audio to be a gimick, but it is not, and you won't really be able to tell by listening to the laptop speakers, you must use phones. This one has the AMD 3500m CPU w/6620G graphics which is the best you can get graphics-wise from a laptop in this category; The under $700 or so, and unheard of in a $429 laptop, it will play all newer games where some games won't even load with Intel based HD3000 graphics which is Intel's current best. Anyway, I have had some problems with the HP, and am probably going to return it for an ASUS i5 model - U56E-BBL6 - for $549 it looks to be a great deal If I can get my hands on one. ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Laptop+/+Intel&%23174%3B+Core&%23153%3B+i5+Processor+/+15.6&%2334%3B+Display+/+6GB+Memory+-+Aluminum+Lake+Blue+Hairline/3411128.p?id=1218399206867&skuId=3411128&slref=10&slloc=01 ) Best Buy site says they still have them. I really hate to give up this HP though, their service is top notch! I couldn't be more pleased, and that is saying something. However, The Hp Laptop, brand new, and out of the box, had some cosmetic flaws I decided I could live with, but it then started having some screen problems, flickering line at the top of screen which a change in power scheme settings proved effective in clearing up, but just a work around, not a solution. HP, while in chat about this last night, had me install new drivers, but havn't had a chance to test them out to see if the settings still cause the lines. It's related to the "never turn monitor off" setting which for some, especially when on battery, is a must have. It will sleep fine, but if set to turn off, the lines appear? lol Who knows, and again, something I was willing to live with, and again, support has been great! However, I noticed yesterday the laptop sags in the middle which disallows the lid/screen from sitting flush against the base. It's only about a 16th of an inch bowed, but the base is warped, and I know this will only get worse, and will require a complete new frame/casing from HP. If Best Buy wants to knock off another $75-$100, I might decide to keep it, and send it in, but that ASUS I refer to above, from what I have read, is an actual Aluminum casing, frame. I read it has the aluminum on the keyboard/pad part of the base, not sure where else it may have the aluminum, but even having it just on the part of the laptop which gets the most use is a real plus. I am into sound, reason for going with HP, and their Beats Audio, it really is excellent, and HP has a real good reputation as well so keep them in mind when looking. Bring some good ear buds, or phones along with a mem card with some music on it, and test it for yourself, if you also care about sound. I am going to do this with the ASUS, but I don't expect the same quality, but one can always hope. lol Anyhoo, at the price, that ASUS looks good if you havn't bought a computer yet, and it's very stylish if your into this aspect, it has that I'm an expensive laptop look! lol But, as we know, it's very reasonable for what you get. Hope this helps, and sorry for being so wordy, I get going, and it's difficult to stop, love to write. Hope you find what you are looking for, and if You already bought, and like any of the above or the HP I list below, Best Buy has returns until mid Jan. Mine is defective so I hope they don't try to hang a restock fee on me as these were sold out long ago, or I would simply exchange for another as I am real happy with it. They do have another model of this, but it's $629, $200 more. ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Laptop+/+AMD+A-Series+Processor+/+15.6&%2334%3B+Display+/+8GB+Memory+-+Dark+Umber/4038134.p?id=1218450209175&skuId=4038134&IcsCsid=2-39-2064-25-5-122287-169037-25-2064-20-25-2064-3497-0-1 ) I have $485 on my return, and am willing to go another $100, but that's it. I simply can't afford to go higher, the reason for buying the HP dv6-6117dx in the first place was it's value at $429, one of those buys you rarely come across. LOL, ok, I'm done, hope this helps, hope you got, or get, what you want. Take care all. P.S. I can't leave without stating another aspect. Customer service is unbelievable at HP, meaning extremely good. Had trouble building recover discs with top of the line media from Verbatim which has always worked fine for me, very few coasters, and HP sent me backup/recovery discs without charging me. Have had 3 chats with them online for various problems, and all went well, and fast. Hp has great support. So, that is another aspect to look into when buying your laptop, look for the reviews of what kind of service to expect from any given company. or instance, My experiences with Samsung have been nothing short of horrendous, and it was a simple MATTER, but they held firm until I spent hours writing, and on the phone. I love Samsung products, but am now very hesitant to buy that name again. I also had trouble with another S.Korea company so wonder if it's just the nature of South Korean companies to hold out to the end because I was at the point of suing before they gave me what I had deserved all along, a simple key to unlock software that came with my Samsung SSD DRIVE, which is a great drive by the way, but customer service? Non existant in Samsung's case. I am going to look around after this for reviews regarding ASUS, and will most likely call them, try to get them in a chat, etc. This is a good way to test service before buying from anyone! Take care.Also, if you want to investigate the AMD Offering, as I did, there is a very good review of the Llano based AMD 3500m CPU & included Radeon graphics here. http://hothardware.com/Reviews/AMD-Fusion-A83500M-ASeries-Llano-APU-Review/?page=1
