  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone

    I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.

    I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.

    I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?

    I would appreciate your help.

    Concerning

    Pedro

    When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.

    Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.

    For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.

  • Satellite A660 how can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.

    However mind, lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
    In the Bios, I could disable the led lighting, but the on/off switch is always lighting, which distracts me when I'm working.
    This laptop has two power LED, so the lighting power is in my view, unnecessary.

    My question is: How can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello

    The power button led cannot be disabled.
    It s there if the laptop is turned on.
    The lighting in the BIOS option only controls the multimedia keys...

    Don't be shy, I had a similar experience when I used Sansa.

    Keep the right sliding button for a second or two to turn it off.

    The key is to keep for a while.

    How can I turn off automatic

    Hi, Bob!

    I see, so mixture starts automatically as soon as you switch on your phone? It may be also that you have 'auto-update apps"enabled and the app opens when it is updated. Feel free to read this article for more information: How can I stop applications from running at startup on Android OS? and let me know if it helps.

    See you soon!

  • How can I turn off the CSS Rule dialog box?

    I would like to know how Turn off the CSS dialog box rule.

    I support a user who used DreamWeaver for years and was recently forced to upgrade to the new version. None of the hundreds of files in the site, it says to use CSS. Although I admit that it is a way of 'better' and 'more effective' to do things - IF you are a software engineer - it is not even close to being worth the cost to review the entire site and upgrading this user.

    So, how can I turn off, not just the pop - up, but how do I tell DW to just go ahead and do the old, integrated in the way HTML to do things?

    All what the user wants to do is change the color of certain keywords, css is an exaggeration when that's all he does.

    We were going back to the previous version except that the Agency was forced on Vista and the old version does not work.

    Hello

    Sorry (actually, no, I don't work for adobe, so why should I be), CS4 is now a ' standard (still allows tables to good design!), program and css is the preferred method of styling. You can choose the possibility of inserting styles 'online' for the css rule by selecting the css option in the properties panel, which will make the equivalent of css you want.

    You must have had a very old version of dreamweaver to make it work under vista, I ran ultradev 4 (circa. 2000), without any problems under vista.

  • How can I turn off the CSS rule window?

    How can I turn off the CSS rule window?

    Please don't say 'you should really learn how to use CSS '.  I create my own CSS for many years very well without the nuisance of a pop-up window.

    Ah, I see - I don't think there is a way to stop this behavior when you are working in Design view in DW CS4. If you were still using CS3, you could deselect the "use CSS instead of HTML tags" in the General preferences category, but who went in CS4.
