  If you ever have to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Computer takes forever to stop + display does not properly

  Hello

  My computer began to take a long time to shut down (10-15 minutes) and then crashes with blue screen of death...

  Also when it comes on sometimes it loads but I have no display and my screen goes to power saving mode

  If I reboot, it takes forever to shutdown, then crashes, restarts, and the screen does not work until I'm physically hold the power button to turn off and then turn it on again, then the display works fine again. This only started happening in the last day or two, after I did a system restore.

  Any ideas what could be the problem?

• NB305 10F takes forever to start

  Hi all

  I have a brand new (two days!) NB305 10F Netbook and even it is a very nice piece of kit to mount on a half hour or so to start!

  I didn't do anything to this thing of the hook aopart up to my wireless home network and since then stop after that it simply does not work correctly. I tried to power off and re-boot in safe mode, but it still takes forever!

  What's up (Toshiba help line will get ' phoned later this afternoon!) and how do I back out of the box settings? Can I start and enter the BIOS with F2 or F8 magic or similar to reset everything?

  Any ideas would be most appreciated.

  Thank you.

  On each new Toshiba notebook is preinstalled original Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image contains many tools and utilities as well as additional applications. Most of them start by operating system and slows down the startup time.

  Please note: when you get the new book of Microsoft updates are set to auto so when you start your laptop and there is LAN or WLAN connotation your laptop will start to automatically download the updates and it will slow down the performance of any computer laptop.

  What you need is the optimization of the OS.

  Hello

  · Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

  · What is the model number of the computer?

  Usually, this would happen if the hard drive is not set correctly in the basic input/output system (BIOS) or the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) are incorrect.

  Basic input/output system (BIOS) is a program built into personal computers that starts the operating system when you turn on your computer. It is also referred to as system firmware. Basic input/output system (BIOS) is part of the hardware of your computer and is separate from Windows.

  Microsoft cannot provide specific instructions for changing your CMOS and BIOS settings because they are specific to your computer. For more information about the correct CMOS and BIOS settings for your computer and how to check and change these settings, see your computer documentation or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Anyone able to help me?

  Sometimes it takes me an eternity to boot up my laptop and sometimes it does not start at all and I get sent to the start screen repair and which translates a unable to repair press ok to turn off the computer message. Whenever I get to start a laptop program always crashes with some answers takes about an hour.

  I used the recovery disks, I did when I was told to do, first used the labtop about 5 times so far. Whenever I've restored the system it works very well for about 1 hour until that I had to install the Windows updates.

  Anyone able to help me on this problem of mine?

  As already written boarder is not easy to say why this is happening. With own laptop preinstalled, obviously, everything works fine.

  So what you need to do is to disable the automatic update of Windows.
  Chose the option check for updates but let me choose when... and before enable update checking the list of all the available updates.
  Be sure only important updates will be installed. Do not install the updates defined as optional.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Computer takes forever to load, the files have no icon

  Hello!

  Since yesterday, I have this problem: when I open computer, the green bar at the top starts to load, there are magnifiers on computer, libraries and Favorites in the left pane and nothing appears in the main pane of Solution Explorer. If I manually navigate to any folder by typing the address, it takes me to this folder, but there is no icons for the files or folders. Although, they open as expected, may be renamed etc., but right click on explore crashes. The desktop icons, menu start and see the control panel correctly.

  No recent program has been installed. Before this problem occurred I accessed a suspicious Web page (from a USB key), but...

  I scanned with Malwarebytes, Spybot, ESET, ran ChkDsk, sfc/scannow.

  They have all found nothing except the sfc found 2 corrupt files that could not be repaired.

  Important the fact is that in Safe Mode, I have the same problem!

  Can someone help me on this?

  Correction, I had a virus, but it wasn't the problem.

  I reinstalled windows and all programs, one by one and that the problem was back, but now I now why! The problem occurred after installing Acronis True Image 2013, because I have disabled its services to run automatically. It seems that Acronis is not like that... and he wants to force me unnecessary services running, most of the time. After you have enabled services, the problem disappeared. :) Good to know!

• Offsite replica takes forever to start, hangs on the activation of CBT

  We saw two separate instances of this, both are Windows Server 2008R1 VMs on separate VMware 5.5.0 hosts. Two different environments/locations.

  Common

  • Both are supported by separate servers from Veeam B & R.
  • Once the replica is started, it can be off and on normally, no timeout, second power on acts as expected
  • Both are suspended on a drive of about 1TiB
  • Guest readers are 10 k
  • Power on operation happens expired, tempting second power on results in "another task is already underway"
  • No load on the server
  • This has been a recurring problem, but recently has taken longer than usual, used to be anywhere between 5-10 minutes

  First of all, 31minutes

  Thank you

  We ended up disabling CBT on the replica of VM during the manual/test failover.

  Just go to the options of VM and set ctkEnabled of your discs on false values.

  The replica of the boots now instantly.

  Problem is that this should be done every time we start the replica.

• I try to download the update of 150 and it takes forever! Why Windows 7 update is so slow?

  I have a few updates to download and install, but it seems that I can't. Always 0% current even after a few hours of "Download".  I cancelled it and now I ticked the box with smaller update (about 150) and wait more than 10 minutes. Nothing happens. It worked well a few updates ago that happened?

  Edit:

  I left my place for a few hours, when I came back that update was installed successfully, but a few hours of 150 of ffs, update? I have to keep my PC for an entire day to install those who are heavy 50 MB?
