• Re: Qosmio F30 - I want to change XP to Vista

  Hello

  My Qosmio F30 has Windows XP.
  If I change to Windows Vista I need to reformat my hard drive? If this is not the case, what, my documents, whether or not it will be lost?

  There are options to upgrade to install Windows Vista without format the whole HARD drive, but it depends on the version of Windows XP and the version of Vista you want.
  You can check it out here:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/get/upgrade-your-PC-options.aspx

  To be honest I would format the whole HARD drive before installing Vista. A new facility will work faster.
  In addition, you must back up your documents and everything you need because the whole HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose everything.

  I hope I could help you.

• Satellite L550: Change language of Vista from Dutch into English

  Hello everyone

  I bought a new Toshiba laptop model: L550 and it packed with windows vista

  The problem is the windows is packed with a Dutch language and I would like to convert it into English that I couldn't use it with this language

  Any help please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If you have purchased this product in the Netherlands so your Vista will be in the Dutch language.
  It would be possible to change the language of Vista using the Pack of MUI (MUI).
  But not all versions of Vista supports this; Only Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Vista Enterprise supports this.

  Vista Home Edition does not support the Pack of MUI (MUI) and therefore it can not be used.
  In this case you will need a full version of Vista, which was published in the English language.

  This requires a new installation of the OS.

• How do I change OS from Vista to XP on my Satellite L series

  Hi all

  I read where many messages are people back to XP is Vista really bad, and if so how can I change my XP laptop, it's as easy as just install XP on my PC

  Hello Big_K

  I'm using Vista more than a year now and I am satisfied. For me it is not complicated and when you use if a period of time, you will see that there is no problem at all. To be honest I don't understand why so many people make a great story with preinstalled Vista. We have new equipped laptops to new standards and equipment adapted to run under Vista.

  All the drivers, tools and utilities work well. Believe me, with the right configuration of operating system that Vista will work well and quickly. I guess a lot of people want to use older programs and applications that cannot be installed under Vista and is perhaps the main reason for a downgrade.

  Family Windows XP Setup on new models of laptops is certainly possible. Perhaps you will face different problems and must accept that all will not work so well. It is recommended to install WXP SP2 and all the available drivers, tools, and utilities (if the laptop is supported WXP). With SP3, you can face problems. Many people have reported problems with the sound or the Wi - Fi feature.

  So, if not necessary, I recommend you to use Vista. Vista is perfectly configured (recovery image) for your laptop model. You can't stay on WXP level all the time. Learn to work with Vista. Maybe soon we will have new operating system on the market. Maybe you should follow technical innovation and not just go back simply because you feel uncomfortable with the old operating system.

  To be honest I do not understand why so many people can't accept that the era WXP goes all the way.
  It is time for changes. ;)

  One last thing: you can install what you want. It has no negative influence on the valid guarantee. Just create a support of recovery before you make changes.

• How to change the English Vista of Polish language

  I recently bought a Toshiba laptop for a friend.
  Pre-installed was English Vista. They wanted to Polish.
  They then installed Polish Vista on top of English and now the computer just does not seem to open half of the applications that it should.

  Is there anywhere or anyone that I can get a recovery CD or what can I do to solve the problem, taking into account that the laptop came with a recovery disk or a Windows Vista installation disc.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hello

  Vista supports a Multilingual User Interface you can download this package and can set it up.

  This Microsoft Web site provides details on this procedure, and you should absolutely check it out if you want to change the language:

• Questions about changing OS from Vista to XP on Satellite P100-160

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could help me... I don't like Windows Vista with a passion and I would much change for Windows XP.

  My P100-160 provided with Windows Vista pre-installed, but until now I feel of it is poor to say the least! So I'd like to return the easy to use Windows XP.

  Could you get it someone please let me know if there is something special I have to do in order to get XP to run properly. I've been reading through some of the questions on the forums on this topic, but want a nice simple step 1, step 2, etc. to ensure that I do the things first.

  Thanks in advance for any assistance received.

  Best regards

  Yvonne

  Hello

  You need description step by step? Come on man :)

  Do everything simply if you want to install the XP. During the installation of XP, you will need to format the HARD disk, partition to install XP on the laptop.
  Then, after the installation of the OS, you could install the drivers of Toshiba which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  Please note that you need XP compatible drivers! As far as I know that the Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAAE series. So please choose this one if you download the drivers.

  In addition, you will need to install drivers in the correct order. Placed on the Toshiba page installation instructions could be very useful!

  Best regards

  Goodbye ;)

• change language in vista Home premium

  HI I have recentley I have a toshiba equium laptop with vista home premium on it, however, it is in Chinese, the bios is English and there is something funny like "enter" in English, but nothing else, I know where the list of languages is in Control Panel etc, but all languages in the drop down menus are in Chinese (kanji I think) and I can't read it... What is English United Kingdom in kanji? someone told any suggestions short of a complete re - load, oh, and I don't have a vista disc as I have always used xp.

  If it's a version of Chinese language of Vista, change the display language to English will change SOME of the Chinese-to-English User Interface, but it is not an English version of Vista. (It is available only in Vista Ultimate.)

  See also the section "when you change the display language...". "at the bottom of this page-online http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-the-display-language

• Will it hurt my settings if I change my Windows Vista PC from a computer in working group on a home PC?

  I have a Windows Vista Home Premium, I had some problems and had to do a system restore. I put a different name for my computer, I am the administrator. I did have the time to add a user account. Anyway, I wasn't paying that much attention to the WORKING GROUP or the HOUSE of CP. I feel that I can have messed up things, once again! I'm afraid that if I change the name or change the name of my computer and change it to page HOME of CP instead of WORKING GROUP, I have will not have access to Microsoft Internet Explorer? I don't see anything regarding a field in this area. Could someone help me with this, I want to change my WORKING GROUP home of CP.

  Hello

  You can change the name of your computer as the computers on a network can be part of a workgroup or a domain. The main difference between the areas and working groups is the management mode of the network resources. Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup, and computers on networks to work are usually part of a domain.

• How change the registry Vista so I can add my program in the default programs list?

  Hello

  I need help to change the register of Vista so I can't add Sibelius 5 to the list of default programs.

  I need to do this for some reason when I try to open the files .sib I need to open it with a program. So why I want 5 of Sibelius.

  However, when I do this, I do the normal navigation and select 5 of Sibelius in program files but nothing happens.

  I was in Control Panel and was in default programs and all that stuff in there, but still it's not helping.

  See you soon

  Hello

  We could do this in the registry, but it shouldn't. You mention that you went into default programs, but you don't mention if you have tried successfully to associate the file .sib with Sibelius. That's what I would try first.

  (1) navigation to the "default programs":

  In "Control Panel Home", select "Programs", then on "Default programs", choose "do a type of file always open in a specific program.

  Or b:

  Search "Classic view" for the "default programs". Select "Set your default programs".

  2)

  Scroll down the list until you see. SIB. Double-click on that. Select Browse and locate the Sibelius program.

  (Note: * maybe that is your problem.) --> Make sure you browse to the EXECUTABLE file. If you access a shortcut, it will not and it may not work correctly when you try to open later.

  * And you're good to go. Once it is associated with, you should be able to double-click the .sib file and run the program. Hope this helps,
