Well, I ran the "sfc" command as Tango had suggested, and it came back
with no problems on the system files.

Have you contacted Gateway Tech Support? If they don't have the answer

Well, it is six years old, so I don't think Gateway will have much
support for it anymore.

Never hurts to try. Worse that can happen is Gateway says they can't
help.

I'll give them a ring after Christmas, no use in ruining their Christmas
over this.
