Does your PC still boot into Windows and just show the Acer screen instead of Gateway, or does it just hang, restart in a loop or not work at all due to the wrong update?
Okay. As long as it is functioning correctly (booting into Windows) which is the point in the BIOS (Basic inut and output, then load the OS from HDD) I think it should be okay to just leave it as Acer, but if you want Gateway back the only way to do that is to re-install the BIOS for your PC.It shows a acer screen when it first loads up and then boots into windows.... The acer screen I want removed because it is a incorrect screen I need gateway back.
It is working fine, but once you get used to that same old gateway screen you will want to go back... I miss it already.Okay.

Could you please tell me your PC model etc. I can try and find you the correct* BIOS update, and give you the instructions on installing it for you

Nice new background, Fantasy. ..isn't that the Gateway screen off in the distance? I'm just kidding...When I went to gateway's website there was only 2 updates on there.
They don't seem to have my number registered on the site anymore. I don't know if it was a site error or what.I went to the Gateway site and was surprised that they didn't have much choice in BIOS versions. So this is what I suggest:
1). when you flashed to the new version, almost all flash utilities either back up the previous BIOS version automatically or at least ask to do so. If a backup copy was created (and you saved it) it can be restored by directly flashing to it.
2). Contact Gateway support, tell them that the most recent BIOS bricked your box, and you need access to the previous BIOS version (and you not only want it but YOU WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
3). In most BIOS there is an option to disable the splash screen. This won't get Gateway back, but will dump the Acer logo.
And it would REALLY HELP if you would give the model number of the machine.
