Cannot install Ver.3.30 Bios for Tecra M4 on Vista

Hello

I downloaded the upgrade for the BIOS of on the European site: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

The problem is that the installation starts and displays the "Bios upgrade is underway... "in full screen, BUT after a while he left saying that"[Error] the start of the service has been discontinued. "The user has no administrator privileges.

Of course I'm logged on as aministrator, and moreover I launched the "BIOS package P0026v330.exe' from the office (i.e. locally) by double clicking it and selecting the option"Run as Administrator"from the context menu.

What is going wrong?

Thank you in advance!

Hello

Are you using the Vista operating system?

If the answer is "Yes"; Vista supports a new feature called Vista user account control.

It seems that you have not all admin privileges!

Please check this document Microsoft how to set up this account or disable!

  • Need BIOS for Tecra A8 3.2

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that the BIOS for Tecra A8 3.2 is not available on the Toshiba European driver page because this version has expired and the new BIOS versions are already available on the Toshiba page.

    I put t know if it s possible, but maybe a Toshiba authorized service provider might be able to help get an older version of BIOS.
    It s just a suggestion, but maybe what it s worth a try.

  • Updating BIOS for Tecra M7

    Hi guys,.

    I tried a bios upgrade for my Tecra M7 (as it is on version 1.70 - 17/10/2006).
    I found version 3, 20-victory - but of course, I've replaced Windows with Linux.

    I'd feel safer doing the traditional way anyway, so is there a way to get the folder on the CD from somewhere?
    Is it possible to pass a parameter to the program 'P0048v320_nVidiaGraphics.exe '?
    Is there a secret link?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is not so good, because toshiba does not provide a traditional BACK for this computer bios. You need a Windows system running with common modules installed to perform a bios update, if you find another way then you´re probably a lucky guy.

    I was using an old HDD with a recovery top Windows to update the bios on a Portege M400, so you should find a hard drive and install windows on it.

    Sorry man

  • Cannot install the drivers and software for HP Deskjet 5650

    I removed most of the HP entries to my printer from the Start Up. Since then I have not been able to get the Printer Wizard to start. Recently, I uninstalled everything related to the printer from Add Remove programs. Since that time I tried to install my HP drive. It comes up with the error that the software does not support my operating system. My operating system is Windows XP Home Edition SP3. The software is looking for Windows XP. I downloaded the drivers and software from HP. When it runs, it starts very well. For some reason, it isn't detecting my printer. After you select how the printer is connected to the computer and the connection at the same time the software tries to finish, but he comes up with an error and says it cannot complete the installation. I am able to install the drivers, but when I try to install the drivers and software is when the error appears. How can I fix? It would be nice to use the wizard for printer hp again.

    I found the solution to my problem. Before I could install the software and drivers for my printer that I had to remove completely all the software and the printer driver. Here's what I used to delete the printer driver. Restarting my PC after removing the printer driver has been the most important step. Everything works fine now.

    original title: why my XP pro does not accept the following security update? Update security for Windows XP (KB2686509)

    Hello

    I'm not really very good which is why I chose to use automatic updates. I recently got 'updates are ready for your computer' and when I start to download it stops pretty quickly and said:

    The following updates have not been installed.

    Update security for Windows XP (KB2686509)

    Is there a wat to fix this problem without needing to know the registrys etc.

    Thank you

    Mick

    See my post on the third page of this topic which contains detailed instructions for anyone with this problem. Go to the bottom of this page and click Next until you get to page three.

    Thanks for the update Mick. You should be able to double-click the file to open it in the command prompt. I did not write the script, so I can't tell you why you were unable to launch it by double clicking. Right click and choose to run it in command line will still work.

    @ Icom756pro I do not work for Microsoft, then you would be best suited to forward your complaint directly to them. I understand your frustration, however. I can only recommend that you try the script that I've linked to page 1 of this topic. If this does not resolve the problem then simply hide the update. You should not be prompted to install later.

    I searched this forum a solution update the BIOS without a floppy drive. The only one i found was this thread [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=66966&tstart=0], but there is no file .iso for the tecra 8000 series.
    is there a solution to get the new bios installed on my tecra 8000 without any floppy drive?

    I checked Toshiba BIOS download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp and TRAD BIOS version is proposed. This old Tecra is maybe 10 years and now, Toshiba has offered traditional update the BIOS only.

    Win versions are later available with latest Tecra 9000/9100.

  • Updating BIOS for Tecra A3: is it really necessary?

    I often see a new file for the bios update download site. My Tecra A3 is 2 months old and have no problems so far. Is it really necessary to update the BIOS?

    One more thing, it is that there is no mention on what the latest version of the BIOS to the laptop.

    Hello

    If your device works properly and there is no problem, in my opinion, the update of the BIOS is not necessary to do so.

    I use the P20 Satellite about two years and I n t do BIOS update so far. I agree with you that without any concrete description, it is not easy to decide BIOS update.
