  • Portege R400-600 - installed some SW and everything has stopped working...

    3 Toshiba Flashcards started popping up with an error saying they have stopped working - are there flashcards in this machine at all?

    4 then, Control Panel / programs and features / turn Windows features on / off - whatever it is, I would like to add, it ends with an error - "an error occurred when installing the sw.

    5. in addition, tried to upgrade to the latest Toshiba Bluetooth stack. The installation is never - ending crashes

    6. access the hard disk is really slow. Do not know why. Any idea?

    In the old notebooks from Toshiba, I would setup just a package of COMMON MODULE, but I can't find something like this for Vista.

    Any help on this appreciated. Please, send them to [email protected], too.

    Hello Jiri

    As a first step, I will confirm what Robin wrote on the package of added value. Back to your problem: no one knows what kind of software you installed and t is possible that now you have some negative influence on the functionality of Flash cards. Please try to reactivate the flash cards. You can do this next start - all programs-Toshiba-Utilities-Restart Flash Cards.

    To be honest, after installation of some software there are many issues with your laptop nice Portege and maybe you need to restore the operating system to an earlier time using System Restore option. After having done that, I'm sure that everything will be OK again.

    Original title: Help and Support Center

This aid was dropped for Microsoftxp home version 2002 service pack 3 , or is there a problem that I don't know about my system? Any help or information would be appreciated.

    For those who have experienced this problem

    I note that all solutions have been validated, IE

    1 re - install & support.

    2. run SFC/scannow,

    3. create a new user profile by means of microsoft suggeted,

    "Are not, (I repeat, not) work to solve this problem

    The only solution I've found that works is to

    1 create a new user

    2. move ( NOT copy) all of your files and folders in My Documents,my music, my pictures, and my videos folders of your damageduser profile for the new user profile in place corresponding installs under this new profile.

    3. do not copy or move hidden files or folders that you do not have created and hidden from yourself.

    4. you must also ensure you save settings, emails and contacts (contacts already in the .pst in Outlook file) by using the appropriate method for your e-mail program to allow for the recovery of these in your new profile.

    5. you can export your Favorites RSS (and biscuits)Internet Explorer under your old profile to a file in your new profile, and then import them from your new profile, after that you run Internet Explorer from here.

  • I installed the update to CC on my PC and it has stopped working.

    The other day I installed the update for Creative cloud on my PC (Windows 8).  It has stopped working completely.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the program several times.  Whenever I uninstall it, Windows says it can't be uninstalled correctly.  When I reinstall, the icon returns on my desktop but when I try to open anything that happens.  I need this program to download Photoshop and I'm VERY frustrated.  Any advice will be appreciated.

    You must choose an official version of the office such as Office 2007 or 2003. Both versions work well and most of the problems he's already resolved.
