Satellite A100-906 - Bluetooth not recognized Vista
This laptop came with Windows XP installed and the bluetooth was working fine.
Unfortunately my HARD drive was destroyed, and after installing a new and I also installed Windows Vista Premium 32 bit.The problem is that even if my wireless card works great the bluetooth device is nowhere. It's as if she is not on... even when I try to install the newer bluetooth stack he asks that the device bluetooth turned on!
Is there a solution to my problem? Is it possible that the BT adapter is destroyed?Thanks in advance!
BT can be used if the BT module is successfully activated. To do this turn on WLAN using WLAN switch and then activate BT using the FN + F8 key combination.
* You can probably remember how it works. Can you? *As I see you now have Vista.
Does the FN + F8 key combination?
You can use Flash cards?
Have you correctly installed all the stuff of Toshiba?Boyfriend sorry but if you forget to install something that it won't work because you can not activate the BT module.

Card SDHC 4 GB not recognized Vista
I have a Sony laptop, AR (2008) on Vista and also a netbook series Sony P (2009) that runs Windows 7, cannot recognize the SDHC 4 GB of my camera card. They ask me to "insert a disc. Please someone know if there is an update or some other difficulty to do this?
Hi MegsLittle,
If you use a built-in Media Player, there may be a possibility that maybe the SDHC card is not compatible with the card. I suggest you transfer files from the camera via a USB cable.
However, try the following.
Method 1: Run this utility of automated troubleshooting and see if it helps.
Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
Method 2: Log on to the Sony Web site and update the latest drivers for chipset as well as other updates to the device driver.
For more help, you can contact Sony.

Micro SDHC not recognized Vista when the card is inserted in Sansa E250
Hello
I have Sansa E250. I used to have the 1 GB microSD card and I was able to access it on my computer with XP.
Recently, I bought 4 GB micro SD and SDHC cards. Now I have Vista on my computer and when I connect the MP3 player with HLA card installed on a computer I'm not able to access removable drive of the card and I get an error message.
Is it a Vista thing? Is there some drivers or firmware that I need to install to be able to use my new card CD?
How do I install it on my Sansa?
Thank you
I installed the Rockbox on my Sansa e250 and it works very well and the new 4 gb SD card works as well.
I can't load the image well then rockbox is on my presets of radi got all erased. But these questions are fine. I can always switch back to Sansa Firmware.
