• Main problems after upgrading from XP to Vista on Qosmio F20

  I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista on my Qosmio F20 and having problems. It seems that I lost the ability to change screen resolutions, to adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Basically, I lost the laptop functions. I also tried updating the BIOS but get the following error message "BiOS update only is not supported OS - unsupported OS or service pack installed.»

  This also makes very slow computer.

  You now have a few questions, or you wrote just a report on your experience of Vista on Qosmio F20?

  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Vista on this laptop model and thereby you will ever complete Vista of operation (including the Toshiba tools and utilities). For supported laptops, Toshiba offered special Vista supporting BIOS but for your laptop, this update of the BIOS does not exist.

  Sorry! :(

• Satellite A100-334: Question about upgrading from XP to Vista

  I need help to upgrade my A100-334 to vista!
  I use the disks provided by toshiba. It is said that the new Bios is already installed (vers.5.60).

  After running the second drive it says I need to uninstall Driver driver/BD DVD-RAM and Toshiba configfree.

  Then he said that the following issues will not prevent the upgrade of the execution but that some applications or elements may not work properly. The list is long.

  Here are some examples:
  Diagnostic tool for TOSHIBA, Sun Java Scheduler, TOSHIBA controls, Bluetooth TOSHIBA Power saver settings and so on.

  It is recommended to uninstall all of these objects?
  What can I do?

  I appreciate any help thanks - Detlef

  Hi Detlef

  Well, what to say if I understand your question you didn t make a new, clean install Vista, but you tried to upgrade the full XP to Vista.

  I don't wonder that this doesn't update good conduct and that you get notifications on the tools and driver compatibility issues.

  The fact is that many drivers, tools and utilities that are designed for the operating system XP don t run on the Vista operating system. That is why it s necessary and desirable to remove any programs that are not compatible with Vista!

  In my opinion, you must perform a clean installation of Vista, and then you can download and install all the drivers Toshiba Vista required and utilities.

  Best regards and greetings to Germany ;)

• I upgraded from XP to Vista family premium, when I bought my computer, now I may need to get a new motherboard. How do I reinstal vista from disk, I just said express upgrade

  title says it all, power supply gone bad and may have fried the motherboard, works, but just the blue screen, have tested and pilots presentations and hard drive, all are ok. So the next step is the new motherboard if it continutes.

  Hello

  If xp is preinstalled replace a motherboard must be done in collaboration with the manufacturer of the computer as the OEM license is linked to the original equipment installed on

  the xp license dies when the computer dies.

  _________________________________________________

  for reassembly, you will have to reinstall XP, then do the upgrade to Vista

  Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send XP Recovery discs to reinstall the dos operating system 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

  Hey Larry907

  Uninstall and reinstall the printer

  but 1st go to the website of the printer manufacturers and see if printer vista drivers are here for your printer model

  If you have vista drivers available for your printer model reinstall the printer

  If there are no vista drivers, it may be time to upgrade your printer

  consult the manufacturer of the printer

  My BIOS detect 8 GB, see Windows my 8GB (2 x 4 GB) of RAM, but I can see in "8.00 GB (3.87 GB usable)" system properties When I run the application you "Resource monitor", I see 4233 reserved material MB. Finally, if I use a VM with 4 GB of RAM, the virtual machine cannot use this reserved memory and crashes.

  I tried to update my BIOS and changed Advanced Startup Option "Maximum memory", but no change to my memory.

  Thank you

• Tecra A10-112 - cannot use 8 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade the memory on my TECRA A10 - 112 PTSB1E (Windows 7 and Server 2008), when I upgrade to 6 GB ram (1 x 4 GB + 1 x 2 GB), there is no problem what so ever (52 MB hardware reserved + 5700 MB useful) Windows.

  But when I go to 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB) I get material dedicated to the memory of 4297MB and 3129MB of memory used (under windows) and I can not find how to reduce it to 6 GB levels. The bios sees 8GB, windows detects the 8 GB and the fact CPUID. I tried to update my BIOS on Toshiba support site, but I get "Computer not supported" message when I run the update file, I downloaded at Toshiba.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Andy

  Hello

  It would be interesting to know which modules of memory you use exactly. You use the noname or high quality, e. g. Kingston modules?

  Maybe the modules are not fully compatible, so you should test the other modules.

  Also, what program/tool tells you this information on reserved hardware memory? If the BIOS and Windows recognize 8 GB, everything should be ok.

• Tecra A10 - Win7 upgrade Vista Business edition

  Dear Forum

  I'm curious, if you please, on a Tecra A10, which, at the time of purchase, had installed Windows Vista business.
  At the latest date the owner upgraded to Windows 7 (for free I think but I'm not sure).

  Windows 7 installation has become corrupted and need a new facility, but a backup has not been made.

  Please someone knows if the owner has a way of re - download Windows 7 free of charge, taking into account the existing Windows 7 installation is legal.

  Yours with thanks in advance

  I put t know what previous owner did somehow but if possible install clean version of Win7 and not Vista Win7 upgrade. I did it on several machines Vista and now all the machines work perfectly with the clean version of Win7 32 bit.

• Re: Request for help with Tecra A10-156 (Vista backup media)

  Dear members of the Forum

  I am the owner of a laptop Toshiba Tecra A10-156. As the owners of this model will be aware, the machine is supplied with Windows Vista pre-installed. Also supplied is a recovery of Windows XP Professional disc, which, once loaded on the machine, remove everything on the hard drive, including the operating system Vista and the Vista hard disk recovery partition.

  The documentation that comes with the laptop warns the user if he wants to take the Windows XP program on the computer, it must burn a DVD of backup software vista before you load the XP image because if it loads Windows XP without doing that then he loses everything to do with VISTA on the machine.
  Unfortunately, when I bought my machine, I did exactly this error and load Windows XP without backup Vista Software. Load the XP dvd, hard drive was completely wiped out, including not only the Windows Vista installation, but also the recovery partition.

  Although windows XP is a good operating system, I would like the ability to restore my machine to the factory setting. When I asked what to do with Toshiba, they said that the only way they could help would be to sell me a backup DVD of Vista recovery which would cost me a little money. (more than thirty books).
  They also mentioned that if I could find another owner of A10 - 156 using vista would be ready, they could burn a DVD using their recovery from vista machine and then I would be able to use this DVD to do the job.

  As I know personally of all other owners Tecra A10, I am writing to make a plea to ask if some A10-156 (it takes as the exact model) owner would please that nature to let me have a copy of VISTA backup medium please. Of course, I'd be more than willing to pay a total amount of the Virgin DVD (s) and shipping costs.
  If someone is willing or able to help should I very grateful indeed and hope to hear from a fellow A10-156 owner as soon as possible.

  Yours sincerely
  Ian in the United Kingdom

  I hope someone here can help and maybe you should put your e-mail address for direct contact.
