Did I lose the preinstalled software when I upgrade to Vista?

Just wanted to know, if I buy Vista for example according to PC World, if I lose all the pre-installed software that came with my Toshiba laptop? Like ConfigFree, InterVideo WinDVD Creator, RecordNOW, software etc.

It depends on how you are going to install Vista.
You can choose several ways of instillation. You can update the XP, you can install the Vista on a second partition or you will overwrite the existing XP.

If you overwrite the XP Vista will delete all installed applications.
I recommend to install Vista on the second partition, and you can use the two OS, XP and Vista.
But as far as I know a lot of applications is not compatible with Vista, and you will need new versions (if they exist!)

    Why my ipad loses the wifi connection when I abandon my modem wireless of Qwest

    WiFi connections are losing their strength increases the distance between the router and so as a general rule, there are some conflicting objects

    Try the following steps please

    The following actions and after each test to see if the issue is resolved - if yes, then you can omit the following steps - I tried to list them in ascending order of the effort at least on a Mac and / or an iDevice

    1. Check if the problem is related to a single device and if other devices connect normally-
    2. If the answer 1 is 'yes' - try to connect the device assigned to somewhere else if possible - coffee or the University
    3. Perform a forced - restart cela do not delete or purge all data and allows to solve many problems - here is how - press and hold the Off / On Home button and at the same time for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Allow normal startup upward.
    4. Settings - WiFi - < network name > - Click on forget network - do a restart forced according to 3 and then add again the network
    5. If home - reboot the router by unplugging it for 60 seconds (power) and the plug and reconnect - obviously, this step can be done in a public place like a cafe or airport or University. While you're there - make sure your router is working on the latest firmware (check manufacturer's website)
    6. Settings - general - reset - Reset network settings - remember to have very practical WiFi passwords because it erases the WiFi passwords
    7. If it is a new specific net device in your home - make sure that the router gives enough DNS for all numbers which must / wants a connection - stuff like the printer, Chromecast get overlooked - ask for more details on this so not sure option
    8. Backup the device to iTunes - restore as NEW (no) - see if solves problem - if yes - restore backup
    9. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.
  • iMac loses the internet connection when I turn off wifi

    Any help appreciated! I'm not very computer savy! Can my grandson tell me (how) on some things.

    I lose the internet connection when wifi is disabled. It will happen when using any browser, Firefox-Safari-Google Chrome.

    Desktop computer is connected to the modem.

    Model name: iMac

    Processor name: Intel Core i7

    Processor speed: 3.4 GHz

    Number of processors: 1

    Total number of Cores: 4

    (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

    L3 Cache: 8 MB

    Memory: 4 GB

    Any ideas? Thank you

    You can use an ethernet cable between the modem (= the internet connector) and the iMac.

    WiFi is like an invisible computer thread worms (among others) the modem. When you switch WiFi off, your computer cannot reach the modem and so there is no internet on your computer.

  • What is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1?

    I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.

    Original title: upgrade

    Hello WilliamPopat,

    If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.

    However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.

    According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it.  However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.

  • The mouse loses the Bluetooth connection when left idle

    I'm suddenly having a problem where the bluetooth mouse that works off the preinstalled Toshiba bluetooth stack.
    loses the connection when left idle for a little while.

    This was not the case before.

    What could cause this?
    I just changed the batteries in the mouse, so it's not the question.
    Any ideas?

    It is the forum on Toshiba laptops.
    If you have a laptop from another manufacturer, then you should visit the website of the manufacturer of your laptop

    In any case, the stack of BT from Toshiba page is the most recent which is available on the market, so it should work on your laptop.

  • Lose the layer effects when I flatten image Photoshop CC

    How can I keep my layer effects when I flatten an image or the merger of the layers?  I tried a few ways to merge: for example merge down to an empty layer, visible merger, stamping the image, the rasterization of the layers, saving in jpg format, but still lose the effect.  I can also send it to a lab to be printed with all layers intact, as it is more than 1 GB in size. I searched the net for an answer, but all suggested does not work.  Help, please.  I really need to solve this problem.  Thank you

    It seems to me that you apply tonal corrections of black and white line art, or an image with the frame of halftone (points) (or something similar).

    That won't do anything because all you have is still pure black white and pure - but it will look as it does If you look at what it is other than 100%.


    The reason why the adjustment seems to take, is that you look at a preview resampled, cached, and resampling softens the edges and introduced middle gray values.

    When you group, the adjustment is calculated on the original size. Then he "disappears", because it is actually nothing to resolve.

    I could be wrong and it's something else - but is a very common question and a good bet.

  • Lose the wireless connection when the modem connects to the internet.

    Hello

    I've updated my laptop to windows 7 (new installation).  I have a cable modem which is connected by ethernet to a wireless modem/router which I have configured to be a wireless access point (dhcp is the cable modem).  The laptop can connect wireless access point when the cable modem is not connected to the internet (so the ip address of the access point is 192.168.100.50 & the laptop takes an automatic ip address within the range). The problem is when I connect the modem cable to the internet, & so the ip address of the access point is derived the cable modem, the laptop can't connect to the access point. When I renew the ip address of the wireless card, it says it is connected to the selected network but the ip address is not correct, nor do I have access to the internet.

    The laptop connects fine to pick up the new ip address when it is ethernet connected the access point when the cable modem is both on or off, so I can access the local access point configuration when the modem cable is off, & can access the internet when the cable modem is enabled. When it is connected with the cable modem access point wireless at sea, both my wireless & ethernet connection say that they are connected to the selected network, but as soon as I turn on the cable modem, wireless connection says it is connected to an unidentified network, but my ethernet connection is connected to the selected network.

    I tried the broadcasting/no broadcast of the SSID, different levels of security, modification of the power saving options on the card wireless without success. I don't think it's a problem with the real network that the wireless card can capture the network & settings when the cable modem is disabled.

    This Setup has worked well when I had win xp.  My mobile phone can capture the network without wire end also & is able to access the internet.  The driver for the wireless card is current as well as the firmware on the access point.

    Can you please help? Thank you very much

    Hi Jack

    You led me in the right direction with the MAC addresses on the cable modem.  It's a simple solution... turn off the cable modem so it would refresh the MAC addresses of connecting devices, & hey presto, I wireless & ethernet access internet on my laptop with wireless internet on my laptop.

    Thank you for your perseverance.

    See you soon

  • stop the images lose the file size when scaled down?

    Ive read this tutorial;
    http://joedasilva.com/blog/?p=32
    and ive just discovered that if put you across a smaller image, the file size is decreased so permanent and expansion of the image again it will be pixalated. If I'm working with images and I want freedom to play with the scaling, do I need to convert them all to grafics?

    Is there a setting that I can change so that the images are saved to the display resolution when I export, but maintain there full size of the file in the document? Is this how illustrator works?
    Thank you

    How you installed Vista as an upgrade on XP or to perform a new installation? Did you use the installation of a media installation upgrading or complete dvd or did you by TechNet or MSDN subscription paying there?

    With or without a dvd, you must enter the product key that was included with the media or have bought and downloaded via the store Ms. The product key is usually on the plastic case, the dvd of Vista arrives or accompanies electronic download and is that you enter during the installation/update level or when you use the control panel > system > change the product key to see active Windows.

    You'll need a product key valid for the edition in question that you are now going to run.
