My ex bought the kids an emachine (UGH) for Christmas and it has been nothing but trouble. Drivers seem to vanish...the network adapter drivers, the printer driver, etc.... I am attempting to completely reload it with Vista or XP but the computer will not even allow me to do that...when I attempt to load Vista, I get this message: Windows could not load required file WinSetup.dll. The file may be corrupt. To install Windows, restart the installation. Error code: 0x45A... If I try to load XP, when I put the disc in the options listed will not even let me click on "install".....any suggestions? Other than throwing the emachine into the driveway and running it over)
Can't offer much help but I can tell you that I have a dead e-machine in the garage you are welcome to if you need any spare parts. Ken tried to revive it but it was beyond repair. Had a virus or something that kept corrupting different parts of it. I will never buy another e-machine!
Have you tried calling for support? I know it is generally a pain, but it sounds like it would still be under warranty.
