Hello

For a new computer, I would recommend that you check with the computer manufacturer and ask what type of recovery options, they have available for this laptop.

You may be able to get a recovery disk or they may have installed a recovery partition you need instructions on the use of this recovery option.

    Use your Windows repair CD to start the computer in Repair Mode, and then use the system restore to set Windows to the Restore Point as soon as you can find. The chances are that this will be a point before they changed the password.

    can you please answer

    When I open the games online I can't get into the game, and they will write chek your firewall

    Hello

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I should be able to help.
    Internet connection issues are widely available and vary from one case to another. Your question, however it seems that the most likely cause is that your computer's firewall prevents your applications to connect to the internet. You can check this easily by:

    1. go to the Start Page of Windows 'default Page of Windows 8.
    2 mouse hover in the top right of the screen then click on the search"" button.
    3. type in 'Control Panel' after a brief search you will see a button at the top of the page left labled 'Control Panel' click on this button and you go in desktop mode and allow you to navigate in the control panel.
    4 from there, click on the tab labeled "system and security."
    5. then, click on the second option in the list titled "Windows Firewall"
    6. the first thing you want to do is to check if you are on a "private" or "Public network" (a private network is usually the safest and although on this type of network, you are less likely to be vulnerable to attacks, Public network are accessible by anyone and give a greater risk).
    7 the right it will say Private Networks Connected / not connected and below that it will say comments or connected/not connected networks public. Most computer security settings differ based on your type of connection, if you are on a network audience of settings on your computer will be more strict and could prevent your programs connected to the internet. (Say if you are connected to a private network, you can probably exclude this.)
    8. If you are connected to a private network and your programs don't always work correctly in the top left of the window under "Control Panel Home" you want to click on the option "allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall."
    9 a list first your "Internet Capable of programs" quickly browse and find that you are having problems with and take note of the checkboxes next to them. If no box is checked, you will want to allow them to connect. Do this by clicking on the "Edit settings" button located in upper right
    10 you want then allow your program through the firewall, this by simply checking the box next to it. (Note that if the Public network that can leave your computer vulnerable or higher risk)
    11 after doing this click ok, now go back and try to run your program and see if the problem is resolved.
    12. If you cannot find your program, click the "Allow" another app... button and navigate to your programs (usually in the folder C: / drive in the folder programs.) and choose your program and adjust the settings to allow through the firewall.
    13 if this does not solve your problem, and the problem persists, try to go into Internet Explorer, by clicking on the gear in the top right and open Internet Options. Go to the Security tab and check how strict your settings are. You should be able to click on "Reset to Default" to solve this problem, if that's the problem. (Located at the right bottom)
    I hope that this helps if not let me know and I'll give you some suggestions.
    Thanks for your time, I hope this has helped.

  • How can you get into BIOS on a Satellite 320 CD.

    Hi my name is steve, I was wondering how get you into the BIOS on a satellite 320 CD. Because it's my first format at the top of a tower. Done a lot on the office laptops just never. As some fool tried to do before me and distroyed it. Now the only thing that happens is when the toshiba logo disappears this message appears, INVALID SYSTEM DISK, REPLACE THE DISK, THEN press ANY KEY. It allows to run Windows 98 and it worked great for what age there. Hoping to put XP on it, but its only got a small hard drive (4099 mb). So will hand 98 on it until I get a bigger hard drive. Only need to teach my daughter how to respect a laptop. I want to get into the BIOS for the format. No instructions on how to enter the BIOS would be great, because I'm good from there. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    You suggested that you want to enter the BIOS to format the HARD drive. Very strange.
    However, if you want to boot from the CD so you can also use the C button immediately after the power button.
    The laptop should boot from the CD of Win98. The installation procedure contains a HARD drive format option.

  • Satellite L840/020 - can't get into BIOS after enabling the quick start option

    I have a laptop Toshiba L840/020 (PSK8LA-020007). I recently installed a 330 Series SSD and Windows 8 Pro RTM 6.2.9200 MSDNAA on this Intel and enabled the fast boot option in the BIOS (boot speed > fast).

    Now I can't get into the BIOS, no matter what I do. I tried pressing the power button / stop while pressing F2 (as suggested by a few other forums), upward on default that I tried all F and Esc keys, but nothing does. I also tried repeatedly pressing F2 during startup, plugged a USB external and supported on F2 keyboard on it, but no matter what I can't get into the BIOS.

    When I go to the Toshiba support download section > 8 64 bit Windows, I see also a BIOS update for my laptop, but when I try to install I get the following error:

    ---------------------------
    Error
    ---------------------------
    Flash process will end!
    Current platform have secure start capability, it must provide the location of storage NV by interface IHISI.
    Please contact BIOS OEM Engineer to add the feature.
    Without this IHISI interface, variables to authenticate will be modified or erased by flash process.
    If you understand the risk and want to keep flashing.
    You can add the following parameter in platform.ini to ignore the error.
    [EngineeringErrorDisable]
    SkipSecureBootProtectionCheck = 1
    ---------------------------
    Ok
    ---------------------------

    I'm not changing platform.ini and flash, without first asking the help of the community.

    Please let me know how to enter the BIOS. Thank you.

    Hello

    First try INS then F2 key.

    Then you should be able to access the BIOS, I recommend disabling the QuickStart in the BIOS if you can successfully enter the BIOS.

    With regard to the update of the BIOS.
    I checked the page of the Toshiba driver to THE and it seems that the BIOS v6.20 is even similar to Win 7.
    I think that the BIOS update must be done running the system pre-installed Toshiba since Win 8 is not officially on the market, and to my knowledge, there are some big restrictions updated BIOS running Win 8

  • iertutil.dll was not found after trying to download internet explorer 8. I can't get into my computer. Not even the start screen.

    I can't get into my computer.  All I can get is the Task Manager.  It shows all my still intact material, I'm not him.  Not even to my home screen.  All that appears is my screensaver and a message saying to re - install iertutil. DLL... but how to do when I can't.

    Maybe someday, we will see again the proposal to:

    Once you open the Task Manager try the commands below.

    1. in the Task Manager, click file, and then click new task

    2. now type rstrui.exe and click OK

    This would launch the system restore on the computer refer the below Microsoft article more about the restoration of the system.

    If you really try , you would find that it does not work because rstrui.exe is unlikely that never will be in the PATH statement.

    If you want to launch the restoration of the system from the Task Manager, you will need to perform a new task like this:

    %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

    If c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll is missing, you will see a message like this:

    Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component

    The application has failed to start because iertutil.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

    Because explorer.exe is not running, you will see only your background image /, but Ctrl-Alt-Delete will always bring up the Task Manager where you can maneuver around and replace the file.

    If the only problem with your system, it's that iertutil.dll is missing, you can replace the backup copy in the dllcache folder.  You can continue to obtain reviews iertutil.dll is absent, but just click OK for messages of recall as they pop up so you can continue working.

    One might think that you use the Task Manager, you can browse c:\windows\system32\dllcache and (after choosing to view all files) copy the iertutil.dll from there and then paste the iertutil.dll file in c:\windows\system32 where it belongs.  That actually works, but it seems that it does not work as you will get an hour glass stuck on the paste operation and perhaps wonder whether or not it has actually worked.

    To feel better replace the missing file, so you can actually see the file being copied and replaced... Task Manager, click file, new task and enter in the box (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window and first make a copy of the original file (if it exists) by entering the following command:

    copy c:\windows\system32\iertutil.old c:\windows\system32\iertutil.dll

    That copies the file in progress if there is an and it will just complain if it is not a copy.

    We know that XP likes to keep the backup copies of critical system files in this folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Knowing this, copy the backup copy of the missing file and replace the missing or suspicious file by using this command:

    Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\iertutil.dll c:\windows\system32

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    Who will replace the missing or suspicious file and if that's all that's wrong with the system, Shut Down box Task Manager, you can choose to reboot your system and see how things are going.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I decided to implement the points for a new puppy instead of a pony!
