• Key board does not work correctly when you type. Can not get the system restore to work properly, either

  Tried to run the system restore, but it will not restore.

  Hey AnnEdelstein,

  Because you can't get the system restore to work, perform a clean boot on your Windows XP system. The guide to that is here. Which follow, and then try again to Outlook. If it works to the minimum, then boot in the boot, analyse the whole system with your Antivirus and other security you have.
  Also make sure you have the drivers for the keyboard. Search for the manufacturing of the keyboard, and they should have the drivers on their support site. I hope this has been helpful!

  My wife and I just bought a Sony Bravia TV and Blue-ray Disc/DVD Home Theatre system. We hung the blue-ray to TV using the HDMI cable and hung stakeholders for the theater House for blue-ray, but the audio single system who will play is TV.

  Check your system restore settings:

  1. Click Start
  2. Right click on my computer
  3. Click on Properties.
  4. Click on System Restore
  5. If system restore is enabled, the column status of a player will show surveillance.
  6. If not, you can delete ""disable the system restore on all drives ' and then click on OK to activate "

  Is both as soon as you try to restore to the most recent available? If so, unless you have specific reasons to keep the previous restore points, clean the rest, so that you have the most recent restore point on the left.

  To do this:

  1. run Disk Cleanup

  3. under system restore, click cleaning of

  4. click on OK

  This will free up the space. System restore needs a minimum of 200 MB of space to work.

• Re: How to get the system running again on my laptop satellite

  Everything ok and ongoing run (Vista 32 bit), also installing the update for Intel chipset seemed to agree,
  but subsequently requested reboot does not work... and the horror began :(

  No matter if the hard drive is installed or not, following events occur after passing on: hhd light indicates activity, also for disk hard desinstallion (!), in the possible bios by F2, dvd lamp is lit and portable crashes.

  What has gone wrong? How can I get the system running again?

  TIA

  The whole story is a bit confusing for me. I put t know how you came the idea to update the driver chipset if everything was OK. Vista is old BONES and it is unclear to me that Toshiba has offered some updates of the chipset.

  What is confusing to me is the fact that you can not enter the BIOS settings.

  When you start your laptop you see Toshiba welcome screen and the grey line down with info press F2 to enter the establishment or F12...?

  What will happen after that? Display stays black or what?
  What happens when you press F2, F8 or F12? Everything works? Can enter you in menu start or advanced startup options?

  Try please start your laptop with the recovery DVD and press C repeatedly on startup laptop. Check if the installation of recovery will recognize.
  Post please a little detailed report.
