Hello,
Just bought a new Gateway laptop with Vista Home Premium. (Gateway was
purchased by Acer)... and fresh out of the box, the Start button and
task bar don't work. On the Start button, a left click does nothing
except make it flash for a second, and a right click brings up a very
limited menu. The interesting thing is when we looked at the floor
model in the store for the very same model - it did the same thing!
Both the sales rep and I thought the new one out of the box would be
fine... but nope - maybe lightning struck twice? I called Gateway, and
they had no solutions except to do a full system restore. No way should
that be necessary with a brand new computer, so I'm going to just return
the laptop. Has anyone found a solution?
