• Cannot install Windows XP update KB2718704; error # 0x800A138F

  Cannot install Windows XP update KB2718704; Get error # 0x800A138F. I would appreciate a mention of help on this issue. Thank you.

  (My Automatic Updates usually work, but this time not to go.) Updates are obtained through IE8 browser, but I prefer FireFox for daily use.)

  Thank you! Success!

  I used method 2, because I had already tried method 1 earlier, but the "fix it" went wrong. After reading the information from method 2, I opted to use my FireFox instead of IE8 browser, because I suspected that the process Internet Explorer that are included with the update was a large part of the cause of my problem. Among the options, I used Microsoft Download center to locate the update I needed and then through its validation and finally made the download and reboot. Voila!

  Can you please explain why the process more automated via IE did not work for me? Why I resorted to the labour process more that I used? Can I expect this of all the other "critical" updates that I get on my machine Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? Maybe your answers would also be interesting to others.

• Cannot install vista updated or the updates of the application.

  I can't install all updates for vista and some applications. I was not able to install updates for about a year and I'm behind about 50 of them!  Here's what happens: I can select a (generally smaller) update download it and at what stage him "create restore point" appears nothing DON'T is PAST!  After 15 to 20 minutes, I'll try to close and the blue/green screen informs you that installing update 1 of 1.  The system hangs in this State for hours - if I leave - and usually pull the plug.  I disabled Norton antivirus, before and get the same result!  It's nerve racking.  Oh yes, I can't remove programs either!  I WAS able to install SP2.

  Hi Bill,

  No. , the "discussions" over attempts to solve the problem and I was excited about some of the suggestions of Ryan t...  The problem persists and I designed a word document to post on the site of s 'Windows BBS"asking for their HELP.   If I can get a consensus, this is what I intend to do.  The D partition on my machine is a picture of the machine "birth" @ gateway about 2.5 years ago.  Once I trust that I have my data backed up and all the DVD application on-site I'll reformat the C with D, operation of the gateway info.  Once I did this, I intend to install Win 7 and put Vista out of its misery!  I intend to install the 64 bit version of 7 and use the C partition for the operating system.  I understand that this is possible and should reduce to naught the tedious task of reinstalling the applications and data if a cleaning are always required again!

  Also, I have a second physical hard disk with partitions E F & containing my temp folder, data and photos.  As side note, I paid MSFT $60 a year ago, and their conclusion was re - install Vista - or punt if all else fails.   NOT THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR!

  Don't know when I will be able to jump through all these hoops and obstacles, but will post my 'experience' here!

  Thank you for your question and now know I'm NOT the only victim.    OH YES, have you TRIED SUGGESTIONS of RYAN T? THEY CAN WORK FOR YOU!

• Cannot install Vista Business on Portege M400 - IDE issues

  Hi guys... I am looking for your help.

  I downloaded all the new Vista drivers avaiable from Toshiba in support of the new installation of Vista business on my old Portege M400, that came preloaded with a version of XP Tablet and kept their loan on a CD.

  I also upgraded the version of the ACPI BIOS to the latest available 3.80.

  I insert the first CD of Vista professional and do a boot. (I also have a n upgrade Vista Business CD but I want to do a clean install).
  I go past the first steps and choose Install.
  I am faced with an error message "no disk has been found. "Click on load a driver to provide a device for installing mass storage.

  Looks like Vista is not able to see the IDE drive to the edge and it's a driver problem.

  I touched the "Rescan" button available on the windows installation and another message appears: "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct driver, and then click OK. »

  Currently loaded on the XP: currently loaded poster IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers like Device Manager: "Intel (R) 82801 G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers and primary IDE channel."

  Hard drives shown are: Toshiba RAID SCSI Disk Device LD0

  Pls tell, what new drivers since available downloads of drivers Vista for my model 400 ML PPM40E, should I choose here for my Vista installation recognizes the disk available?

  Hello

  It is very easy to solve this problem.
  If you would look on the page of the European driver Toshiba (Portege M400 section), then you will notice that a RAID driver is available for this model of laptop.

  Impossible to install Vista because it cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of RAID driver!

  You must install the RAID driver first and then you can proceed with the installation of Vista.
  As far as I know the Vista installation accepting the USB flash key you can use this key to include the RAID driver.

  Hope I could give some useful advice.

  Cheers mate

• Satellite Pro M70-113: cannot install Vista graphics driver and lines appears on the display

  Hello

  I have satellite pro m70-113 with ati x 700 graphics card.

  When I installed vista, he installed the default drivers for the x 700 'mobility radeon x 700-microsft Corp.-WDDM '.

  I've updated the display drivers for vista, that released by toshiba 2 days back... but the driver is not updated to the latest version, only the catalyst control center is installed when I ran the update of the driver of toshiba.

  The problem is that whenever I put my laptop in standby or hibernation and resume... the screen shows thin lines vertical/horizontal... and I can't use the laptop... and I have to still put the system to sleep, just to hope that it is not blocking the screen this time...

  This problem is 25% of the time only when resume...

  This problem is not resolved by the update driver for toshiba has released a few days back... as is not installs the drivers (I can't even install the drivers with the option "update drivers" of Device Manager and select file driver update from toshiba.) It says windows find new driver, but could not install the driver... Contact the manufacturer...)

  This snap shows the problem... : http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2783/12042007366copyod1.jpg

  I updated the driver from an earlier version of catalyst, as it is downloaded from the ati site before that toshiba has released the update... this time it updates some 8. XXX version but the screen problem remains...

  Second, this update of the driver leaves me not sleep my system... the process starts for a sleep, but go back to the locked screen without making sleep ever... so I have no choice to get stuck with the default Windows... drivers having only the problem of the screen... and not the problem of sleep...

  Anyone here with a solution?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I have Satellite M70-159 and I noticed the same thing several times. For most Vista works well but I don't remember cases in which the described problem occurs. I was just curious on M70 Vista and have had no time to intensive testing.

  Anyway, it will be interesting to know if you have already updated the BIOS to the latest version 5.10. If this is not the case to do this and watch carefully if the problem persists.

• Satellite L300 PSLB0E - cannot install Vista and Win XP

  Hello

  I have a L300, model number PSLB0E sat. \
  It was originally loaded with vista home premium, but it starts now not at all.
  I made a disc of vista Home premium and the number to go with it, but it gets as far as "windows installation" but then it stops.

  I tried to new hard drive, same loading XP pro not working!
  I think it's Bios, but after the download from Toshiba on this PC and transfer it to a memory stick, my laptop can't see it?

  Please can someone point me in the right direction?

  A big thank you in advance Paul

  Hi mate

  Please check in the BIOS if the disc is visible.
  If so, then set compatible SATA to AHCI mode and then try to boot from the Vista or Win XP disc.

  But if the HARD drive is not visible in the BIOS then it would mean that the HARD drive is dead and so you cannot install the operating system.

  Check it!

• Cannot install Vista on Qosmio G-series

  Hello

  I can't install Vista, first of all, he says that I can not updated the Media Center to XP to vista professional.

  And drivers RAID Toshiba that I downloaded from the download & support homepage here, do not work.

  What is the problem?

  Hello

  I also recommend the Vista installed on the formatted HARD disk or on the new partition.
  The RAID driver should certainly work. On the Toshiba page, you will find a version of Vista. Simply download and install from external USB FDD or USB.
  Vista will recognize the USB with no problems. On my laptop, it works fine.
