There isn't much you can do with a laptop that is acting up.
A BIOS update is the first step. If no joy, a full system restore using the CD that was provided by Gateway is your only shot.

: Problem: Other/Don't Know
: Operating System: Windows ME
: USB Host: Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
: Problem Description: 1394 interface is not working properly.
: I attach my Sony DCR-PC100 digital handyCam and power it up
: and it will lock my system up (can't move the cursor) until I power the camcorder down or disconnect the cable.
: I know the camera and interface cable are fine because I brought them over to a friends house and they worked perfectly on his Gateway computer. I just wish my Dell worked as well. This has been an issue since bought the laptop and I can't seem to get anyone that can correct it.
: HELP!!!
