• Windows Mail thinks that this message is suspicious and has blocked

  Hello

  When I send an email to 3 of my clients, it shows windows mail thinks this is a suspicious message and blocked. It's something every normal day that trigger the alert message, no pyramid or scam scheme.

  It happens on 3 different computers I know, all using Windows Mail. How can I identify what is happening with Windows mail? The alternative is to install a different e-mail program, but I'd rather have this problem in a different way instead of patching the problem.

  If you mean that recipients see this message, it could have more to do with your server e-mail than anything else.  The first place to check would be with your ISP or whoever provides your outgoing email service. Steve Hebert - MVP Microsoft Internet Explorer

• Re: NB550D - 'No mass storage devices' during the installation of Windows

  Hello!

  I recently bought a laptop Toshiba NB550D. It goes with Windows 7 Starter. So I decided to change the operating system, I want XP Pro or Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. Because the laptop is not a CD/DVD drive, I looked on the net for Windows USB installation.

  Problem is that when I install the USB, with regard to the partitions, it says I have no mass storage devices. I tried with XP and Home Premium, used 2 different programs to make bootable USB (WinSetupFromUSB and WinToFlash) and I tried with 3 different USBs to be sure that the problem is not of them. Both seem to do the job, but it still says I have no mass storage devices. I read on this forum, found [how to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm] thread. I tried this, make an ISO with the built-in driver, made an another bootable USB key with it, but still, when I reached the partitions, they seem to be missing.

  I checked if the partitions will show if I start installing Windows directly from the Explorer to the laptop and partitions are then normally, so it seems that the problem only occurs when you try to install from a USB. But I want a * install own bootable *. I have no CD/DVD lens, so this isn't an option more.

  I'm really out of options on the left, tried everything I thought, it seems that I'm not the only one having this problem, but found no solution to it. Even if I put up with the Starter (even if I don't like), the HARD disk is separated into 2 partitions the two 116GB which is also very annoying.

  I'd appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!

  P.S. I also installed the latest drivers, BIOS seems to be too, but still did not help.

  Hey,.

  Which AHCI driver, I joined?

  Article you found how is just an example and is written for models with Intel chipset. I checked the NB550D specifications and this model has chipset AMD A50M, so you need another driver and the Intel driver will not work.

  So if you are looking for Toshiba NB550D European driver download page, you will see a driver called AHCI driver. This package contains the correct AHCI driver, but the problem is e for Windows 7 only. For obsolete XP it will not designed more pilots and that AMD is brand new. There is no old drivers.

  If you want to only Windows 7 Home Premium that s no problem. Therefore, you can use the mentioned AHCI driver. For example, to create a new Windows 7 bootable USB key with this driver and installation should work fine. :)

Can the laptop Win7 access Internet when connected by Ethernet? One of these devices have problems connecting to other networks Wi - Fi?
