I need to perform a software update, and I was told to do the following. Could someone please give me a Dummies guide in how to get there?
«In Windows, start a command prompt (cmd.exe, sometimes referred to as a shell).» Use administrative rights running Windows Vista.
Type one of the following lines of command in the shell:
"For Windows XP, type: msiexec/update
How can I go "cmd.exe"? I push enter after? What would look like a sample "
Thank you! Thanks, George! In fact, I solved the problem by dragging the file to the command prompt icon, which gave me the exact command sequence. Thank you for your time! Tags: ThinkPad Notebooks T61 with Win 7 RTM will not sleep on the current, will sleep on battery You wanted to start a new thread on this since the similar to the previous thread presents the beta version of Windows 7 and other issues while I and at least one other people have this same problem with Win 7 RTM. My T61 (8891-CTO) won't go to sleep / suspend when it is plugged into the current running Win 7 RTM and the current drivers Win 7 Beta. It will be put into hibernation on current alternative. He'll sleep / suspend very well when it's on battery. When the current alternative, the display dims when I try to sleep, but it will never actually suspend. Move the rear mouse lights up the screen and gives the Windows login screen. Like everything else works very well and sleep works on battery but not AC, I have to assume that it is a driver problem. Any help appreciated. Thank you Michael I realized what was causing the problem on my system, so maybe this will help someone else. The Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service prevented my T61 to sleep. I stopped and disabled this service. Sleep works fine now. How to get Roxio Creator Business Edition for T60 with Win 7-64 bit I have a T60 (8744-5BU) which came with Win XP Pro initially and has been upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. While under XP, I've made use of multimedia for offers to think: Sonic RecordNow Audio/data/copy and Drag2Disc. For Win 7, the only option I see under software and utility downloads for my model is: Note: My model of DVDRAM drive is: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4083N and contains no lightscribe. The software above 'readme' does not show my DVDRAM drive listed. You can also read: "multimedia center for think with Lightscribe offers is provided for editors of Lenovo DVD with Lightscribe. Question: Anyone know where I can get the software equivalent without the Lightscribe feature that will work with my T60 under Win 7? Thanks in advance. Hello Because it is a licensed software, I don't expect that it will be freely available for download on the Lenovo support web site. If you have a hard drive (or a disk image) with the original factory from Microsoft Windows XP to load, you may be able to copy the installation package for Roxio Creator Business Edition out of it and use it to install the software under Microsoft Windows 7, however, I do not know if it will install under Windows 7. Kind regards Aryeh Goretsky Tecra A10 - I need restore disk with Win XP SP2 I have the restore for XP Pro service pack 3 disc. I need service Pack2 restore. Can anyone help? Do you mean that you have received the recovery Toshiba with Win XP and SP3 on this disc? So why do you need a Win XP SP2? However, I doubt that you will be able to buy a Toshiba Recovery for this laptop disk that contains only SP2. Good bye Running Vista Home Premium SP1 and the system has been slow and freezing. MCbuilder appear to be using 50 to 100% of CPU, and it is a process that seems no way of killing. I disabled in Services, but again, it seems to start without any particular reason and hinders attempts to install programs or updates vista hogging resources. This can be associated with a problem that has arisen since June because I am not able to perform backups or set restore points (gives the error "0 x 81000101 the creation of a shadow copy has timed out"). I tried to install SP2 in the hope that it will not solve the problem, but the failure of installation and install KB947821 doesn't seem to work either. As the restoration of the system is defective, I would be grateful for the pointers to the resolve or completely remove this mcbuilder problem. You have COMODO or AVG Antii-virus installed on your system? It is known problems with these two programs and MCbuilder.exe. I don't have Microsoft Resource Builder Cache as a service in the Services (so I can't activate or deactivate it)-you which version of Vista to help (bit, SP-number version)? I have 32 bit Vista Business SP2. I see no way to turn it off in order to close it with the Task Manager when it is - with the exception, but who could become annoying if it happens frequently and with multiple instances. I could find nothing useful in Knowledge Base Microsoft on it hogging resources although I've seen a few threads using Bing (which is where I came up with COMODO and AVG anti-virus conflicts). You can be infected by malware (which may be the origin of the program to activate and run "without reason"). While in Test Mode safe mode (press F8 during startup and select mode safe mode with networking repeatedly) to run anti-malware programs. To resolve this problem (if it is a problem) download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html. You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com). Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems). Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft. I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed. Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago). You can also try the new, free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx (with the same caveat that only program AV one ALONE can be installed and running on your system at any time). Restart after finishing all the scans and see if the problem has been resolved.
Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started (which can be a problem if it began all the way back in June - you should have posted here then when this process would probably have worked). Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points (but I doubt that you will have a pretty far back and forth to the system restore may not be a viable option). If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two. NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates. If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc. Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html. You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD. To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation. Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit. Put the CD in the drive and reboot. When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.
If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD. If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking). Then we will check some of your system files: Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator. Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run. It will scan and try to correct some of your system files. If all goes well it will complete with no corruption, he couldn't fix it (if there is such corrouption post here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228. I bet there is something involving the program or associated with this program. If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone). Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884. Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem (probably the SFC command or controls anti-virus). If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else. Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

Since then, the desktop icons are refreshed terribly slowly (for example at startup). Sometimes it takes 2-3 seconds for a simple icon appears in place of his general "icon". I'm just interested in other experiments in this. Another thing that has changed is that 'The House' disappeared from the Windows XP startup screen (the screen with the 3 small boxes from left to right), so now it says only "Windows XP." He disappeared with the others, too? Oh yes, and the little boxes changed to blue from green, which is, of course, not a very important issue, but always - is this normal? Finally, does anyone have an idea if there is a Toshiba official e-mail address where should be sent issues related to Windows? Just because the web page Microsoft says questions about OEM products should be addressed to the manufacturer of the equipment. I could not find such an address, even in SUPPORT, only this forum. Thank you Hi andras,. I think that you have installed the Toshiba Recovery BONE, havn't you? For your first question with the icons I have no experience, but for the second. The colors changed boxes bit is a little confusing because XP Home are Greens and XP Prof blue ones!

Here on the Web page you can find a banner with a support phone number on the left side in the middle of the site. I'll hope this helps!

In the current context, there is a policy where the files in the % system32% are allowed to be owned by system administrators and. A question arose where after that conversion of these permissions cmd.exe is unable to run. The addition of the user who is currently logged solves this, adding a Group myGroup however with the content user fails. Also I can give the user (who is an administrator) ownership of cmd.exe and it always fails to run. The command prompt tells me that I don't have permissions that seems odd. Did I miss an edition of registry or is there something else I should be looking for here?
