Can satellite P300 - I switch from 32 to 64-bit Windows?

Hello
Soon I'll receive the CD with Windows 7 and the drivers for my laptop (P300-20 b). I warned for Toshiba Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program. And currently I have Vista 32 bit.
Can I switch to Windows 7 64 bit of Vista 32? And another question, what is the optimal amount of RAM for 64-bit system? Currently I have 3 GB.

Thanks for the reply!
Kind regards
Gregory.

Hello Gregory

Unfortunately, you can't switch from 32 to 64 bits. If you want to use the 64-bit operating system, you must do any new installation. Install Vista 64-bit using the recovery disc or HARD drive recovery option.
After doing this update install Win7.

Optimal RAM? You can use it with current 3 GB, but if possible you can upgrade RAM and more powerful laptop. ;)
Laptop specifications that your PSPCCE can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM. Not bad.

    It's usually easy to fix, but if you removed all the dll and inf files, you can have a bunch of other problems that you have not yet discovered.

    If you mean when you try to use Add/Remove Windows components you see a message like this:

    Install was not able to load the master file.
    The application could not be initialized.

    This happens because this file is missing:

    c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf

    There is no copy backup of this file on your system and run the System File Checker will not replace the missing file (sorry, that Microsoft committed Support Engineer 'experts').

    You will need to get a real copy of your XP bootable installation CD or from a reliable source.

    There's a copy on my SkyDrive, you can download - here's how:

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, put a copy of the file in this folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\Inf

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file named sysoc when the name of the file should really be called sysoc.inf (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You must then copy and paste the downloaded folder appropriate on your system.

  • Can satellite P300-20R - I use the latest drivers from site Web AMD/ATI?

    I got a Satellite P300-20R now I want to update the video card drivers - ATi HD4650.

    Can I use the latest Catalyst for the mobility card that I find on the AMD/ATi website, and what is the procedure?

    Toshiba drivers are tested and adapted for certain graphics cards. Driver Toshiba will not force the graphics card to run the highest level and therefore protect laptop from overheating.

    On my Satellite P300, I use Windows 7 32 bit and driver Toshiba. It runs stabile and I'm happy with it.

    To be honest I don t want to use ATI driver and unfortunately cannot give you an answer to your question.

    Can you please tell us which of operating system you are using and what version of driver you want to install?

    Hello

    Connecting via HDMI cable should t be a problem. Just buy a high quality cable and connect both devices. With FN + F5, you can switch between monitors.

    Unfortunately I think that it of not possible to control the laptop through TV remote. The TV remote is designed for your TV, not your laptop. ;)

    I also tried all combinations of fn keys like ctrl combintations as of the ctrl-alt key combinations.

    What could cause this problem?
    Or even better. How can I solve this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    What you can do?
    Well, you can update the BIOS, you can upgrade to Windows Vista and then you could check if the issue still seems.

  • Satellite P300 with XP hangs at the screen "starting windows."

    I recently bought the Satellite P300 - 01 and had XP installed on it. I have fixed all the problems except for the question, that I'm going to start.

    When I turn on the laptop it loads everything flashes on the login screen and then hangs at 'starting windows' screen If I turn it off and then again about three times this issue finally arrives with the login screen. There was an ASP.NET account, and after the BIOS update that he disappeared, but the problem is still there? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    > There was an ASP.NET account, and he disappeared after the update of the BIOS
    The whole story is really strange

    I put t know how you installed XP on this laptop and why an ASP.NET account was created or exist, but in your case I would recommend doing so again.
    Then install all service packs, hotfixes and patches of the XP!

    Simply show words on XP on P300.
    A friend of mine has installed XP on a P300 yesterday too and the XP works well
    Everything works fine!

  • Satellite P300-220: no microphone on webcam integrated on WINDOWS 8

    Hello
    I just migrated to WINDOWS 8 32-bit on my Satellite P300-220.

    Whatever it works perfectly except the microphone on my webcam integrated. The webcam itself works but not the microphone.

    Any idea?

    There are no drivers on the site of toshiba for WIN8 to Satellite P300-220

    Thanks for help

    TSB Rgrds

    There is no Win 8 to P300 driver because the Win 8 isn t taken in charge for this series.
    That's why some functions of the laptop may not properly work using win 8.

    However, please go to control panel-> Sound-> recording tab
    Click right on and mark options: see the disabled devices / Show disconnected devices

    What devices are listed in this tab check?

  • CF9 Windows switch from 32 to 64 bit license?

    I've seen some previous, old, comments on this subject, but most were specific to special editions (trial, edu, etc.) of the CF.

    I will be upgrading the server currently running CF9 of 32-bit Windows to 64-bit Windows.  Therefore, it makes sense to put a 64-bit version of CF on it as well.

    I think that the CF9 32 bits that is currently running on this server * could * be a version upgrade.

    Can I download the CF9 64-bit distribution and install it on the 64-bit Windows after the upgrade and use the same serial number that I am currently using?  Or I have to buy something to make this happen?

    Thank you

    -reed

    Yes, you can use your existing license. There is no separate license for versions 32 bit 64 bit vs.

  • How can satellite P300-156 - I clean it?

    Don't clean my laptop inside, but I did not now what live I have to remove.
    If someone take the back cover of any P300 to clean the fans, maybe send me photo or instructions, I have to do step by step.

    Thank you very much.

    PS:
    Sorry for English has something wrong, then please fix it :)

    Hello!

    If you want to clean the fan you must disassemble the laptop. It is not necessary.

    You can use the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
    This jet of compressed air, you can get a local computer retailer.

    I hope it's useful for you.

  • Satellite P300 - 14 p from Premium from Vista to XP Pro Downgrade

    Would it not make sense to delete the Partition of C:Vista then install XP in C drive (once recreated) if not. How to install XP safely?

    And finally - I was wondering if I could go back to vista

    Hello

    First of all, it would be desirable to create Toshiba Recovery DVD before you install or remove anything from the HARD drive.
    The recovery DVDs is a hot spare that could be useful to restore the laptop to factory settings.
    This means that if you want to retrieve the Vista on your laptop, you should only use the recovery disc then the whole package Vista with Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software would be back on the HARD drive.

    Secondly it s not wrong to install Win XP on the C partition. I mean you can install Win XP on different partitions, but if you want to replace Vista with XP you could install XP on partition C too.

    I don't know if XP drivers are available for this series from Mr. phone what series is this exactly? Check the bottom of the unit. On the label, you should find a few model numbers

  • Can satellite U400 - I switch to a quad core CPU?

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite U400, and I was wondering if I could move the CPU on a quad core processor.

    * is it physically possible? that is, fit the plug? It seems that the Q9xxx and the T5750 share the same socket but maybe he ore other parameters to look for.
    * How can I check if the motherboard supports the Q9xxx? I should probably need a BIOS upgrade: what is the difference between a win32 and win64 bios? I could guess that has something to do with the target OS, but should I assume that the "win64" adapts to any OS 64-bit-ready (i.e. linux, * bsd)?
    * are there significant losses in the battery life?
    Thanks in advance

    > in any case, is there a way to check if the BIOS / motherboard supports a quad core CPU?
    You will not find any information about the BIOS and CPU support on Toshiba pages.
    The BIOS has been designed the U400 and CPU that is equipped with the U400 series.

    I put t know which chipset your U400 is compatible but my U400 supports Intel GM965 chipset, and the Intel GM965 supports the same features as Intel PM965 chipset.
    http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/316273.PDF

    The Intel PM965 chipset supports the processor Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile for Mobile Intel 965 express chipset family.
    The Quad core CPU is not mentioned. So, it seems that these processors are not supported!
