• Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

  Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

  If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

  1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
  2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

  Anyone know the answers to these questions?

  Thank you

  You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

  My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

  Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

• A few questions about installing Windows on a Mac

  Hello world.

  I'm considering installing Windows on my 2006 iMac. I have a few questions I was hoping you might be able to help me with that. I know that this machine will run Windows 7 or 8, in terms of system resources, but probably doesn't have the RAM for 10.

  The girl has reached Apple Obsolescence and no longer can be upgraded to newer versions of Mac OS. Unfortunately, this also means that she can not get the latest version of iTunes and don't talk to my phone. But she still my entire library of music.

  I know that used at least iTunes is available on Windows, but I seem to remember that they took it. Y at - it an option to put my iTunes music on an iPhone 6 in a Windows environment? I don't mind if I need to convert files or otherwise work for her. I have just a few old out-of-print stuff that I really miss being able to listen to anywhere other than my office.

  I'm pretty much stuck with versions before 10, due to the RAM thing. Honestly, I haven't used Windows since around 1998, with the exception of a terminal XP at work, so I don't know much about it. Any recommendation on which version is the best? And I can buy a copy online directly from Microsoft?

  If I would be better off buying a new laptop for very cheap, it is also a possibility. But my Mac still works well, despite not being not supported for updates, and I hate wasting perfectly good material. I just don't have the money for another Mac right now.

  Hello

  Any questions on iTunes, the best place to ask the community Apple iTunes is their program, not Microsoft.

• Satellite X 200-219: Question about updating the display driver?

  Sad tales I've heard talk about manufacturers of laptop never updated to gfx card drivers apply to toshiba?

  Any info on the question of whether an update for their SLi systems drivers display is on the horizon?

  see you soon-

  The fact is that display driver cannot be updated daily as for desktop computers. Priority by the manufacturers of cell phones is worrying about the operation of the equipment. Using new graphics card drivers will be forced to run faster and better that offers better graphics performance. The result is essentially an overheating and may end with a faulty graphics card.

  In this case, the card mother together must be exchanged and it costs a lot of money. So, I think that no one can say with certainty when the next pilot will be available.

• Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

  So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
  OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

  I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
  But there was a surprise:
  Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

  I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
  Extraction of it I get 8 files:
  -fdbase.img
  -InsydeFlash.exe
  -iscflash.dll
  -iscflash.vxd
  -KPM170. ROM
  -Platform.ini
  -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

  Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

  Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
  I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

  Hello

  Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
  -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
  -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

  Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

  Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

  Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

• Question about updating the BIOS for Qosmio G20

  I downloaded the updated the BIOS of my pc, not the Qosmio, the instructions say it will unpack into 3 files, one being a floppy disk installation. When I unzip on my desktop pc, it makes a file that s too big for a floppy and he won t unzip further because it locks up my pc.

  Is it safe to make it work on my desktop pc it can unzip then in the three files and this will affect my BIOS or y at - it somewhere that I can download the floppy part on its own to load on a floppy?

  Hello

  Just a question;
  You have downloaded the Qosmio G20 BIOS on the desktop computer, unpacked and now you want it please on the diskette in the floppy drive.
  Is this good?

  So now my suggestion;
  Firstly that the Qosmio G20 BIOS and other BIOS Toshiba cannot be updated using the floppy! This isn't traditional BIOS!
  The BIOS from the Toshiba page must be updated when the Windows operating system is running!

  By the way: you can unpack the BIOS on your desktop computer, but don t try to run all files, because the bad BIOS can damage the motherboard ROM module!

• Question about updating the BIOS and drivers

  Hello

  First time user. How will I know if I need to update bios and drivers? I don't want to go crashing my system, just because Toshiba say these items are available for my laptop! They were probably in the updates of windows?

  Help, please.

  Hi Andy

  Welcome to our small community
  First a little advice you should always write the name of your laptop.

  OK now, to you in general I have a question would not recommend to update anything if you laptop and operating system is stable and you don t have problems.
  Of course the update of the driver is not risky, but I would only run updates some compatibility problems with 3rd party software or hardware appears.

  The update of the BIOS is risky. Wrong or bad BIOS update procedure could damage the ROM module on the map. So be careful.

• Vista - Question about updates

  Use Vista Home premium 32-bit with service pack visat

  Noticed last night I had 4 updates to download and install, 2 for Office 2007, then the Outlook Update spam, then for July's malicious software removal tool. Seems that it took a good 15-20plus minutes for updates download and install. Noticed when I checked several times, it seems to still be in the 3rd installation item which was the malicious software removal tool. Finally finished installing it took like 20 minutes

  also he told me to restart. Do youhave to restart after the installation and download?

  Software removal tool malicious downloads & scans. If nothing is found, it just "goes."

  If it does find something, believe me, you'll know about it!

• question about updates

  Hello. I hope someone can help me with this little problem I'm having.

  I had some difficulties at the time with the SP1 update. When it is installed I could not access to the internet (internet explore kept closing). I uninstalled SP1 and everything worked fine. Then I tried to reinstall the SP1 update again and it completely messed up my pc. I couldn't get anything on the screen, except a message that the computer was trying to repair itself.

  The final result was having to call a dell technician who has done to restore my pc to factory settings.

  OK... I left then the computer download and install updates on its own (like the tech suggested) and everything worked great until this SP1 update became available. He says that its available for installation, but he won't do it on his own also by parameters, so now I wonder why it will not install on its own, and if I click install the SP1 update is he going to wreak havoc on my pc as before?

  Hi MowGreen. I checked and you were right because it did not completely downloaded. I only finished with 386 mb downloaded. I deleted everything I downloaded and ordered the installation of SP1 disc.

  Good. While you wait for SP1 coming, suggest that you run the Disk Defragmenter and check hard disk with disk check errors.

  I'm sorry about the copy of the file that I'm not sure how to move a file.

  There are several ways to move files. One of them being the use of the * right * click.
  Left , you can click on a file to highlight, then you click on file and drag and drop it to a location of your choice, then choose the option to move as opposed to the copy one.

  In any case, I want to thank you for all the help you gave me this problem. I will wait as the installation disc and try to get installed in this way.

  Have a nice day and good luck to you.

  You are most welcome, and here's hoping that the installation went smoothly. If you are having problems, suggest you post to the
  Forum Windows Vista Service Packs since this will be a manual installation of an SP vs using Windows Update to install it.

• Question about reinstalling Windows after virus/malware crashed the system

  OK, I'm not exactly super tech savvy but I can manage.  Here's my dilemma.  I clicked a bad link in a Yahoo search and started getting all sorts of flashing messages that my laptop has been infected.  The next thing I know... Windows (I have Vista) crashed and does not now.

  Question #1 - so... can I spend $85 and make it my buddy to the computer to reinstall Vista... or can I invest in upgrading to Windows 7?

  Question #2-si I do it myself, can I just go ahead an installation of Windows 7 since I have no operating system on it because Vista won't load?

  I'd appreciate any help I can get with that.  I really think that whatever it is, I would be smart to buy Windows so I have to drive since it is not come with the laptop or my all-in-one.

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  If necessary, you can record all necessary data (files) by putting the hard drive as 2nd in another computer
  or in an external box and copy of the data on the removable memory (CD, DVD, USB key or)
  others).

  The physical disks in Vista can be purchased cheaply system machine since you already own windows.
  Ask them about Windows 7 as they could also make a case here. Normally, it would be more advantageous for you
  to buy the disks of Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 (unless the system manufacturer has a special offer).
  Before upgrade you to Windows 7 make sure that the system and the software will run you on it.

  To run the Upgrade Advisor you will need Vista work. Check with your system manufacturer support
  and/or support of any specific manufacturer of the device to make sure the drivers are available for your system.
