  • Someone at - it smart enough to: «host process for Windows Services has stopped working...» » ?

    I have spent a week on this problem, looking all over the internet and doubt that someone knows enough to solve this problem. I've been a software engineer for 30 years and never worked on an operating system such as buggy windows Vista (or windows)

    I got TWO errors. They may be related.

    = The first is with Windows Update

    -If you know, I tried:

    At ran windows BITS difficulty
    ran sfc/scannow (it found and fixed some iexplorer 8 _)
    has ran defrag and
    has ran chkdsk
    drivers replaced with the latest news from Toshiba
    has run hardware diagnostics - no problem

    I tried with and without firewalls and AV running.
    I don't run AVG control and malware - no problem

    Windows Update always fails.

    Machine: Vista 32 Home Premium SP2 on a Toshiba Qosmio computer laptop X 305-Q705 4 Gig Duo P7350 Intel with nvidia

    Otherwise, Windows works fine. Net access is fine using Mozilla. Even correctly downloaded files. BUT

    I get this error: windows update does NOT. It gives an error "failed", whose code is:

    0X80072EFE-2147012866 ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED

    Also, sometimes strange, windows displays an error dialog box:

    Hey Joe,

    I see that you have updated your drivers.

    Have you updated your chipset for this PC drivers?

    Are you overclocking PC or running a RAID configuration?

    I suggest to remove all external devices during the diagnostic process, except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

    If you think this error is with IE, you can try running it without Add - ons.

    Alternatively, you can try to reset the Internet Explorer settings.

    Here is some information on this process:

  • Qosmio G30 - GPU has stopped working

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Qosmio G - 30 portable series.
    Same problem as all the others. The GPU has stopped working. Tried with external monitor too, same thing.
    This is the 3rd time what happens.

    Finally 2 times had to be repaired. The guys at Toshiba just suggest a motherboard replacement, which is about $1000 USD.

    In INDIA, they have the very worst customer service, taking customers for granted.

    I'm trying to get the GPU: nVIDIA GeForce GF-Go7600-N-A2 G73M GPU BGA Chipset, replaced.

    E Bay, some sell one those given to NINE and some new.
    NEVER HEARD OF A CHIP SE RE_FURBISHED.

    Can someone help me please?
    Is this the replacement work and what is a smart refurbished?
    Which will work?
    Does anyone know any service center etc. in INDIA who can do a good job on this?

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    > E - Bay, some sell one those given to NINE and some new.
    > NEVER HEARD A CHIP SE RE_FURBISHED.

    I don't have never heard about refurbished CPU or GPU, the internet is a vast world, and you can always find strange and products
    To be honest I would not take it. For me it sounds too strange

    However, the GPU malfunction is really annoying problem. The fact is that in most cases, the motherboard must be replaced and it is always a costly affair if the guarantee is no longer valid

    You have a service center in India.
    Well, I found this database ASP from Toshiba. You will find all the FSA all over the world.

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> find an authorized service provider

    In India, were more of * 50! ASP *.
    I recommend that you get in contact with some partners and ask what's possible

  • U920T satellite screen has stopped working

    The screen has stopped working on a relatively new U920t. It displays second screen on the TV, but the actual screen shines in computer mode not all laptop or tablet.

    Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

    > It displays second screen on the TV, but the actual screen shines in computer mode not all laptop or tablet.

    This means that there is nothing wrong with the graphics chip on the motherboard, but without doubt the connection between the screen and map mother isn t OK or maybe the internal display is faulty.

    Is that it is a hardware issue and you should contact Toshiba authorized service provider in your country for repair.
    If the warranty is valid, the laptop must be repaired for free.

  • Façade has stopped working properly on the Qosmio X 300/305

    Greetings and thanks for reading,

    I had my computer not a week ago and since then, I had some problems, especially with a blue screen when I hit the FN key. Research on the problem, I disabled services of Toshiba and eventually found the culprit: hwsetup.exe. Manual execution crashed my computer and it still doesn't work. However, after you install a new version of it, it seems that FN is working fine now. Hwsetup running always breaks the computer well.
    Any ideas what may cause this? The computer is new, so I don't see what I could have done to cause this situation myself.

    Now to the following problem: it seems that the façade has stopped working correctly, the touch of the keys that allow you to launch the application Dolby, the webcam application and also turn on and off the red lights on the keyboard. When I click on the touch keys, all I get is the tone of the speakers, but nothing happens. I guess I have disabled something by mistake. Any thoughts?

    I would be grateful any entry immensely, people, so please share your theories with me. It is such a thin laptop and I can sleep now, it's difficult to to cause these problems... ridiculous, Yes, but I want everything to be perfect because I spent so much money.

    Best regards

    Hello

    > I can't install the flash card value as well as the utility driver package. It's actually the cause of the blue FN screens. I'm really lost here.
    First of all, you should check if the BIOS version you are using is the most recent.
    If this isn't the case, update the BIOS.
    Then, you must install the utility to Support Flash Cards because this utility is necessary, to get other utility Toshiba works.

    Then install the added value package because it contains the Driver TOSHIBA components common that is an essential component of Windows Vista. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.
    It also contains the TOSHIBA Flash Cards tool that provides Hotkey function and function of pitcher who starts the keyboard shortcut function and sends the other TOSHIBA utilities.

    If the BSOD will always appear that it is advisable to recover the operating system

  • HP CSI Shell has stopped working - cannot install the printer driver

    I just bought a printer LaserJet MFP M127fw Pro, but the installation of the pilot program still crashes. I tried 3 different modes of driver installation: the installation CD install HP Smart (USB) and download online, but I keep getting the same error.

    10-15 seconds after I start the driver installation, a pop-up Windows appears, advising me that:
    "HP CSI Shell has stopped working".

    I called HP customer care and they post in the computer section of the Support Forums.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    I have a HP Media Center PC with Windows 7 64 bit.

    Update:

    I tried the feature "Add a printer" windows default in Control Panel, and my printer is finally functional - only when used wireless. However, if I connect the USB cable from my printer, it will be recognized as a different printer and always unsuccessfully installed the drivers for it.

    If it works wirelessly, it is good enough for me.

  • Toshiba Flash Cards has stopped working...!

    HI :)

    My problem is:
    When I start my laptop an error message pops up saying: "Toshiba Flash Cards has stopped working".

    What is Toshiba Flash Cards? and what I will do with this error?

    Also, is the utility of flash refers to the Fn key card in the keyboard? If it is, so the problem above will not let me use the usefulness of this key "Fn".

    Thank you: x

    Hello

    Software Toshiba Flash Cards belongs to Toshiba value added package (VAP) and it controls the functionality of the FN button too.

    If this service has stopped working so I recommend if you allow it.
    For this you must have access to the services of Vista:
    -Go to the Start Menu
    -In the white line (search) type services and press ENTER.
    -Click on continue in the UAC prompt, (if it is necessary to provide the password for administrator approval)
    -Search for Flash or PPV cards or similar
    -Right click on the service if you want to disable or enable, and click Properties. You will find an option to enable or disable this service

    Also on this page:

    But if this will not help you then need to reinstall the VAP.

  • Network of comments Airport Extreme (7.7.3) has stopped working

    Our network of comments Airport Extreme (7.7.3) has stopped working.  We moved offices and even if my MacBook Air (13-inch mid-2013, El Capitan 10.11.3) can see the two networks, the option of comments does not connect to internet at all.  I did a reset of the Airport (essentially started above) and always the option of comments does not connect.  All software are up to date.  AAACCCKKKKK!

    You probably had AirPort Extreme to the old office set up as a router to provide DHCP and NAT services for the network.

    Now, the AirPort Extreme in the new offices may have probably been implemented in Bridge Mode to work correctly with the "new" network  If this is the case, then the guest network will not work correctly when the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode.

    Check this option as follows:

    Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

    Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

    Click on edit in the window that appears

    Click on the network at the top of the next window tab

    Check the settings for the router Mode.  Is is "Off (Bridge Mode).

    If so, the guest network is unable to function properly in this environment.
