Cheers Michael & Jim.
Got the response I expected from Gateway. CLEAN install! SO I DID. Just a pain having to set everything back up again!
Noticed I'm not alone with the problem of the UPGRADE from Gateway. Hope they don't have much info on the local drive. Learned to keep my data on external drives, makes for a cleaner deal all the way.
NOW back to putting everything back where I can find it! ;-)

@ David Slater,

i suggest Downloading and Installing Driver Magician.

Then Back-up all the Drivers to a flash drive or CD... but at the very least all drivers related to your nertwork cards. Then if you DO a clean install and have issues with getting online you have those drivers to try and use.
i once had issue with a beta version on a desktop and that worked for me.
just a thought that might help a fellow man.

Good luck!!

I've never owned a Dell but I imagine doing a clean install or upgrade shouldn't cuase a BSOD. I imagine doing a clean install should be fine. After installing visit Dell's website to update your drivers.

An upgrade would probably be your simplest course of action. Vista drivers should work fine with Windows 7 for the most part.

Also if you have an external Hard Drive you should do a full system backup before proceeding.

NEED some GEEK help! Anyone using a GATEWAY DX4820?
Finally got my Windows7 Upgrade disks, and they don't work? Figured it would be an EASY deal going from Vista64 to '7', but the supplied DISKS only list LAPTOP models for upgrade, with DESKTOPS grayed out. E-mail is in to GATEWAY, but that will take months.
Beginning to think a CLEAN install is in my future. BUT it also looks like GATEWAY uses non standard drivers, THAT is the scary part! Had the same deal at work with a DELL, updated drivers BLUE SCREEN! Not looking forward to this.
Any HINTS appreciated!
