• Can satellite P300D-h-13 - I install Vista x 64?

  I ordered by Satellite P300D-h-13 that came with Vista x 32.
  Now, I want to install Vista x 64 for my business.

  I need drivers for it, or Vista x 64 install without problem?
  I realized I need to upgrade the BIOS for Vista x 64... When should I upgrade the BIOS, before or after the installation of Vista x 64?

  Let's say that after Vista x 64 I want to return to my Vista x 32... recovery disk image should I upgrade/downgrade my BIOS for Vista x 32, wright?

  Thank you

  Hello!

  You can install Vista x 64 on your laptop. I think it should work, but you have to look to external Web sites for drivers. So check the site of the factory hardware.

  On my Satellite U400 I have Vista x 64 too and I flashed the BIOS after you have installed Vista x 64 but it is important to ensure that all functions will work well.

  And Yes, after downgrading to Vista x 32, you must install the BIOS for 32 bit OS.

  Good bye

• Pre-installed Vista does not work on my laptop

  Hello

  I have a new Toshiba laptop with pre-installed Vista Home Premium. It works just completely.
  My daughter bought it for me from PC World in the United Kingdom and I live in Guernsey.
  All the options of what I do now, as right now I have a laptop unusable.

  I'm partially blind and need a computer to function well.

  Hi Denise

  Have you tried to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the entire operating system?
  You should do this.

  On this way you might know if it s a hardware or software problem

  If the laptop will not properly work after reinstalling the operating system from the recovery CD Toshiba then it could probably be a hardware problem.

  If hardware laptop s malfunctioning it s necessary to contact the service provider authorized in your country. Technicians could check all components of the laptop and can locate the fault.

  Good luck Denise

• Wireless link has disappeared from the Sony laptop, XP, but the link still works on Vista computer. However, Sony can still detect other networks.

  I have a Sony notebook 'dated', XP Professional, Service Pack 3, using a Netgear wireless router. It has worked well for years, but last week, in the middle of a session, I suddenly lost the wireless signal. The router works fine with the other, my Vista computer. The strange thing is that Sony can see other networks in the building and sometimes also my network, but does not connect. When I try to manually connect the connection disappears again.

  Were there an XP update that may possibly be the cause or is there another explanation?

  Hi SveinD99,

  Thanks for posting. The first thing I would recommend you do is go to the website of the manufacturer and the redownload and install driver wireless. I would also contact the manufacturer to see if they have diagnoses of material that they work to test and make sure that the material is healthy and working properly.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows 7 on Vista Home premium! How to re install Vista on HP Pavilion

  A technician (technician at the shop) during writing a test version of windows 7 on my genuine Vista Home premium that come with the laptop HP Pavilion Dv6000.

  He did to recover my laptop a virus attached and there after I can't able to re instal Vista now on my laptop. What should do?

  I tried several versions and spend hundreds of Dollars may with these technicians.

  Hello

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact HP and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

  You no longer have a Partiiton of recovery to reinstall Vista from which you installed Windows 7 above.

  Read this Information from HP:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

  Solve a common problem of recovery.
  If the original operating system is changed to a non - Vista OS, the Recovery Manager cannot be launched either office or by pressing f11 at startup. You can use the recovery disk to restore the computer to the original state of Vista. If you are using a non - Vista OS, you can use a third-party partition management program to recover hard disk space.
   
  See you soon.

• I had problems to install Vista SP1 on different computers 2 Scared of Vista SP1.

  I had problems installing Vista SP1 on 2 different computers and have had to reinstall OS and at the same time, after the reinstallation of Vista, Windows update has updated all the updates up to SP1 and I'm afraid to click on it.  I just finished rebuilding my laptop and all important updates and stopped at SP1.  I ran the System Readiness tool update on my desktop and am really GUN-SHY click on SP1.  Is there something else I can look for or take into account before clicking GO?  I was really upset when the laptop was working fine without it and against my instinct clicked on install when Windows update finally offered it.  I was surprised, that he had not come forward.  I have HP Pavilion, AVG and it is on both machines.   On the desktop I had updated SP1 when it first came out, and something zapped my video card and had to install a video card to see what was going on.  Finally I had to buy another HP motherboard.  It was not cheap.  I'm really scared to click on install. And I would like to put into practice what I preach to end-users, but experience twice shot dark me and path of restoration.  Thank you.

  I'm back - I'M MY technician.  I support experience dating back to the beginning of the 1990s.  I tried your advice and humiliated.  What I have to lose - I said. If this does not work, I'll reformat and start over.   here goes.

  I reformatted, reinstalled OEM in new condition.  Bypassed the Code Purple HP tattoos on their generation, where we replaced the MB that I had.
  Uninstalled Norton, installed the Norton remover.
  Installed MS Security essentials.   Yet once, I said why not.  try it.
  Installed all the updates that Microsoft had to offer.   Have to him. I said.
  It took almost two days.
  System has all updates included SP1 and SP and anything withdrew automatic update of Ms.
  Ok.
  browser, flash, drivers, software for personal use
  System is being run-
  Scanned primary and any secondary t.o.d. after reconnecting them - disconnected for the reformat.

  There are other questions which seem to me with ISP but I meet with them, or open a new question.  For now, Vista SP1 and 2 are in.

  Oh and if anyone has a HP, which gets a code purple error after entering the process of restoration - Shift and F10 while the purple error code is on the screen and rename files from HP in the form of command prompt to convey this purple code and continue with the installation.  I had to find this info on the site of HP after the first reformat.

  and another thing.  I had to take my firewall router a notch to allow download of the Norton removal tool.  Why they still use FTP for one simple download is beyond me.  -

  Nice day

• I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7. Can I install Vista on a second computer and still be legal?

  I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7, which I have installed on Computer1.  Can I install Vista on a second computer computer2 and still be legal?

  Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?

  No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.

  For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.

• Impossible to install Vista on my Toshiba NB250 - 10G

  Hello. Toshiba NB250-G, part No. PLL2XE-001001EN origin with win 7 32 bit.

  I try to install Vista for compatibility with the family machines. The installation proceeds to the collection of files and then stops with the following message appears:-error code 0 x 80070070 Windows cannot copy files required for installation etc etc. I suspect that the need for a pilot to precede the windows files.

  Can someone help me, please?
  T I J

  Hello

  I checked the Toshiba download page, and as I can see your machine is not supported for Vista. It relies for Win7 32-bit only, so, in my opinion, it would be better to stay with Win7.
  I don't know what kind of compatibility is important to you, but there is not much difference between Vista and Win7.

  I assume that you have created the bootable USB key with Vista. Start the Vista installation wizard is recognized correctly HDD? You can create or choose the partition where the OS is to be installed?

• New HARD drive installed Vista 32 bit, but need drivers for Satellite Pro A300-1MC

  "Because my recovery disks that I made 3 years ago does not, I just installed Vista 32 bit and then on the Toshiba site, where I have downloaded all the drivers available for my laptop (a Satellite Pro A300-1MC) on a USB key (that I don't have a driver to connect to broadband on my laptop) and when I tried to open on my laptop a message comes up saying" Please insert the last disk of all selfextracting and click OK to continue. "

  So what I do now?
  Thank you

  Sounds like you have enabled autoplay
  Whenever you insert the memory key USB flash it will try and read the contents of the files on it.
  You can disable this by holding SHIFT when you insert the USB key.
  This should disable the AutoPlay option.
  Then you can go to MY computer in order to access the USB key.

  Note: pilots are zipped so you will need to decompress the content first, I installed a 3rd third party tool called WinRAR to unpack the packages unique.

• To install Vista on Satellite M60

  Is that what anyone has experienced hardware problems during the installation of Vista on the laptop above. I have already increased the RAM to 2 GB, which is the maximum.

  I'm sitting looking at a copy of Vista and do not know to install on my laptop or home built PC, Help!

  Thank you

  Hello amber

  If I remember well satellite M60 is not portable to Vista and there may be a bit more problematic with Vista support. I imagine that you will have problems because of incompatible BIOS version, but you can check your hardware using Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor. You can find it HERE

  Please use it and see the hardware compatibility report.

  Just for example: I managed to install Vista on Satellite M70. It is also portable to Vista but Vista works well.

• Satellite U200-141: problem with drivers after installing Vista

  Hi all

  I just installed Windows Vista, and I'm having some problems:

  1. shortcut keys do not work (Fn + F1, f2, f3, etc does not at all).

  2 Touchpad - I have already installed driver listed it under Vista, but although I can use the touchpad, normally when you point, rattling, etc., I can't scroll. I mean, I can't set up the scroll area (it has been the right corner to scroll vertically and bottom to scroll horizontally). I checked the options of auto-scroll on IE and Firefox, and it does not work here.

  3. I don't seem to be able to install the new BIOS.

  4. the internet, play, pause, stop, etc., (embedded) buttons do not work either.

  5. I have the product recovery CD but this is for Windows XP and I don't know how to install the drivers to go from there.

  I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide.
  Thank you.

  You cannot use the notebook unique features because you have not installed the drivers VISTA required.
  And you can not install Vista drivers Vista drivers are not available at this time

  So what to do? Either you use the Vista without the additional features like buttons etc. or you use the supplied recovery CD and install XP
