• Question about changing from Vista to XP on Satellite A200

  Hello

  5 months ago, I bought a laptop Satellite A200 - 1 M 5, but I face some strange and annoying inconsistencies such as blue screen after startup, inconsistencies with several programs or devices, unique discoveries registry keys, problem with microsoft register server, Mp telemetry and other inexplicable things that make you angry. In addition, Vista are so heavy for 'only' 1024 MB of memory.

  For all the foregoing, I thought strongly to change my operating system from Vista to XP clearer and more coherent. However, I have no idea if the machine will cooperate very well with XP. Nothing will work properly? Incompatibility? Someone told me that, perhaps, the case of Toshiba flash cards will not work. But, if so, how can I manipulate for example brightness? Combination of FN will work?

  Thanks in advance for the help

  I think that your machine should work well with Windows XP Home edition. Many people use Windows XP Home edition on the mobile phones of Satellite or Equium A200 new and different. Before you start to do the BIOS update to the version of Windows XP designed home. It must be 5. XX. Check it out!

  For the installation of WXP use CD Windows XP SP2 home edition installations. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

  BTW: before you start checking some threads here about installation of WXP A200 laptop. You can find a lot of useful things.

  Bye and good luck!

• Downgrade from Vista to XP on Satellite Pro P100

  I have a client with a model of laptop Toshiba No. Satellite Pro P100-434.

  He had a recurring problem, DVD playback that vibrates with the image and the sound is not always in line with the image. He referred twice to Toshiba and they told me that they had replaced the DVD drive. The fault was still there so he brought for me to watch.

  I thought it is best to see if the Windows XP installation would cure the problem so installed an of my licenses. He tried for a few weeks and is now happy with our performance. Then I reinstalled Vista and checked for updated drivers. The problem is back as before.

  Now, the customer wants to downgrade to Windows XP. I understand that it is possible, but have been unable to find out where I should apply for the XP product ID. My client feels terrible about the way it has so far been Treaty by Toshiba and who also believes he paid a Microsoft Windows license. He shouldn't have to pay for another. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello Peter

  I read your ad with a lot of attention and also hope that we can discus things.

  At first, I must say that laptop must be Satellite P100-434 with PSPADE part number. If you want to check the DVD functionality test it with original recovery image. Achieve the clean OS install and test with the original DVD movie using pre-installed software. In my view, that it must be of WinDVD. Win DVD is used by Toshiba for a year, and this software works very well.

  If there is a problem with the DVD drive, please clarify this with the authorized service partner. Please note: test the full functionality of DVD player.

  Something about WXP: Toshiba supports Windows XP Home edition for this model of laptop and all the drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads. Before you start to install anything whatsoever from this page to the first a download? Instructionsa facilities? document and install all the stuff following this order of installations. It is very important.

  Now something about the COMPUTER products and treatment of Toshiba: with the new notebook, you purchase a license for the operating system preinstalled. This does not mean that you have? specific? key and can activate all that you want. The alternative operating system to pay for the license. Each copy has own product ID. And don't forget, your customer has misunderstood something.

  Treatment of customer is very interesting topic, but one thing I can say for sure: a lot of people hear things that they do not want to accept and is for the most part, the grounds for claims on a? bad treatmenta?. It is very important to clarify everything and avoid all the problems.

  Good luck!

• Satellite L30: A few questions about the change from Vista to Win XP

  My satellite L30 has Vista Home Basic preinstalled, but I decided that Vista is still a little slow & buggy and would like to change to WinXP Pro. I have 2 questions-

  1. a change to XP will extend the battery performance? (currently 1 h with no wifi I think it's pretty poor)

  2. I intend to reformat the hard drive for all the hidden partitions will be lost. If I decide to go back to Vista, at a later date I will be able to reinstall using the "upgrade" dvd that came with my computer? I think I'm wrong in saying that this dvd contains a full version of Vista, but I wonder if my serial number still working?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If you bought the L30 with Vista operating system preinstalled, then I presume that you have received also the Toshiba Vista recovery CD.
  The Vista on the recovery CD is already enabled and you don't need to enter keys t.

  Regarding your battery question: well as you know the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. Performance heavy on the laptop running decreases the life of the battery. It is a fact.

  But you assume the Vista needs of more resources for laptop as the XP and the Vista operating system wastes more energy than other operating systems.
  I think if you install XP on the laptop, you should be able to work with the battery a little longer as with Vista.

• Changing from Vista to Windows 7

  Nice day
  My question is very simple, I'm one of the many dissatisfied customers who stuck with windows Vista. My question is for people who has fooled in buying windows vista, they will have reduction if they purchase Windows 7.  I think it's just that I didn't have the choice when I bought my laptop and I was stuck with Vista.  Microsoft will step up and show the customer loyalty, or should I look at just to buy a MAC?

  Would really like a response on that.

  I'm sorry, but there is no discount for you unless you're in the qualification of the following categories:

• changing from vista to 7

  Hello, my computer has stopped startup.i get the manufacturing came bumph, then passes it to a message "boot mgr is compressed press ctrl + alt + delete to restart but not going on.i do not have the vista dvd installation disc.»

  If I buy an installation kit full of windows 7 can I just set it and will it replace my old system and help me to boot into windows 7 and what else do I need.i am a bit thick for this!, Norm.h

  Norm.h

  It is never wise to try upgrading a computer that does not work just to start.  The upgrade may fail and lose all the data on the hard drive, or it may partially succeed but leave you with an unstable system. The problem that you are experiencing first, then upgrade.

• A few questions after changing from Vista to Win XP on Satellite A135-S4427

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 days. It comes with Vista, but some applications are not ready yet for this OS. So, I decided to remove it, then I did a new install of Win XP SP2.

  Here come the problems...
  (1) I could not find the driver for the system management Bus controller. There is an explicitly named SMBus available on the support site, but it was not accepted by the system.

  (2) after 2-3 hours of operation, when I use the mouse or the touchpad to open a file, folder, click a button, the system to freeze for a minute, then it works very well for a few minutes, then freezes, etc. Restarting the computer does not solve the problem.

  I can't explain this bad behavior :( I have not checked the security no virus was detected.

  Please, any idea to make my laptop works properly?

  Hello

  Satellite A135-S4427 seems to be a mobile US and therefore, you should check the site Web of Toshiba us for all the XP drivers.

  1.) system Management Bus Controller-> to my knowledge, you need to install the Intel chipset utility to fix this problem.

  (2.) for the most part these strange disruptions appears because of the CPU busy.
  You should check the processes running in the background of the operating system and try to defragment the HARD drive.

• What is the correct way to "downgrade" from Vista to XP on Satellite Pro A120?

  I want to downgrade to XP. I have a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E. How should I proceed? TIA.

  Hello

  First of all see if all drivers are available for this machine.
  You can check this link:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
  http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_byModel.asp

  Then download the drivers and burn them to a CD/DVD. Back up your data on a DVD or external HARD drive.
  After you have done all these things, just put the CD in your drive and install XP and then install all the drivers and you'll be lucky.

  Please ask, if you have any questions...

• Re: Can I switch from Vista to XP?

  I now have Vista, but I would change it on XP.

  Is this possible?
  If so, how?

  Why would it not possible to change from Vista to XP?
  What do you think?

  I put t know what phone you use, but if you can find all the drivers for it on the Toshiba site there s no problem. In the case you're searching on external Web sites for drivers, such as Intel, Realtek, and far.

  To install XP only, you must boot from the CD and follow the instructions on the screen.
  All that s!

  ·        When reinstalling from the CD/DVD's you will lose the eRecovery program but the DOS version can still function, as if uninstalled, you can not reinstall.

  ·        eRecovery uses Ghost (as well as the use of our recovery CD) to create snapshot images.

  ·        If the PQService partition is removed using fdisk or a utility under Windows, you may need to reinstall Windows.

  ·        If the system is recharged using the DOS version you retain the eRecovery feature

• I bought a DVD of Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit English 3pk DSP 3 OEI from Amazon don't need to Kit?

  Hello

  Ive just ordered a "Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit English 3pk DSP 3 OEI DVD" from amazon, and just realized, I need an OEM preinstallation Kit. And that I bought comes with 3 DVDs and 3 OEM.

  hendec123

  You don't need the Kit.

  Install in the usual way:

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Change operating system from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200

  I want to change my OS from Vista to Windows XP Home on my Satellite A200... once I downloaded the complete drivers compatible with XP I updated my version of BIOS to be compatible, then when I started the formatting procedure I've countered a problem when I want to choose the format of the hard drive... which is "no hard drive drivers were found.

  If anyone can help please :) Thank you.

  Hello

  The problem is that you must install the SATA driver (among others) in the XP operating system!
  You will use the FDD USB external (floppy) drive or you will create a new Win XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite (google for nLite get details).

  In addition, after the installation of the SATA driver you shouldn't t format the HARD drive because it would wipe out the SATA driver and the HARD drive will not be recognized!

  Best regards
