  Viruses such as the behavior of the Acrobat Reader software. I have a laptop running WIN 7 and kaspersky AV. yesterday when I started my laptop I see all the icons from the browser on my QuickStart bar have been changed to the adobe reader icon and also observe that many other programs on my desktop have changed to the adobe reader icon.

  I need Windows 8 to a class.  I have 7.  Can I buy and download 8 online?  Thank you.

  Hello

  Support for windows 8 is finished.

  Extended support for Windows 8.1 going until 2023.

  But Microsoft sells more than 8 or 8.1.

  Try Amazon.com, etc.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.

  Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8.1 drivers available for your model.

  If this is not available, Windows 8.1 not install and work properly for you.

  There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

  Download and run the Windows Upgrade Assistant 8.1 of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8.1 and read the update for Windows 8.1: FAQ here

• "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" - Satellite C660-108

  Got a new laptop for Christmas yesterday and it worked fine yesterday, I came home tonight and he asked me to click on restore and then restart. I realized that, now, whenever I go to turn on the machine, it brings the message "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" and a saying to have connected external devices to and remove, then (which I don't have)...

  Was called "The Tech Guys" they said it was probably because when I started the laptop arrived so many updates etc and one of them went bad and I need to call back with the front desk and they'll go through it with me.
  So I intend to do, but I would like it if people could give advice on how to solve this problem.
  Thanks :)

  In my view, ting best that you can do now is to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk.
  After the own pre-installed operating system it will be working correctly again.

  How to do this you can read in the document or as a result of this document - s user manual http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

• Have now installed XP on my Satellite Pro L40-134 that had OS Vista as OEM

  high-definition Intel (azalia) codec adi ad1986a audio

  Hi, I have a problem a lot of time with the sound on my laptop.
  Description
  * No sound
  * An exclamation in device saying management "Audio device high definition Audio Bus".
  I removed Vista (which came with) and installed a genuine XP PRO SP3
  Downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba Download Center (used the Satellite Pro L40 - 17 H, this is a similar model with XP as the operating system OEM)
  Installed in the correct order according to "how to install" Toshibas pdf

  Had a typical saying "Audio Modem Bus High Definition Audio" for awhile, but it disappeared during the installation of the drivers in the correct order.

  Now I sculled the Earth for a solution, but found nothing.

  Answers to these questions would be very apprechiated.
  What is my motherboard model name?
  who is the manufacturer of the MoBo?
  Who made my equipped with a sound card?

  The best course would be if I could get a link to a nice download that solved my problem.

  All the best.

  After reading your ad something was strange for me on this pdf "how to install". Now I know what the problem is here.
  Your laptop model has the name of the European model, but on the European download page, there is no pdf file "how to install".

  Now I wonder what you do exactly.
  If you check the European download page, and it's right for you, you'll notice that Toshiba doesn't offer WXP stuff for your laptop model. So you will be unable to find the proper drivers and Toshiba-specific tools and utilities, and I assume that you will not be able to complete the configuration and installation of Windows XP Home edition.

  Anyway, you can try to find the proper drivers that Googling around or you can try install stuff designed for model laptop similar but I can't say for sure if it works or not.

  On your Satellite pro motherboard is Intel 943GML + Intel® ICH7-M, then you can try to find suitable driver on Intel support page. Sound chip is ADI AD1986A.

  Good luck.

• Windows XP Professional Setup copy iaStor.sys then the OS says that it cannot copy the file iaStor.sys.

  After the RAID 0 disk partitioning, installing Windows says it will copy the files in the file system. The first file is iaStor.sys. My SATA CD drive runs for a few seconds, then there is a long pause, then the OS says that it cannot copy the file iaStor.sys. He goes on to say that I should check that there is a CD in the drive. Any ideas?

  Here's the solution to this problem:

  1. in the disk driver (a:\) root directory create a directory called holiday of $ $OEM existing files as they are, we will not delete or replace anything.

  2. in the directory $ $OEM you have created, create another directory called TEXTMODE

  3. copy all the driver files located in the root directory to the A:\$OEM$\TEXTMODE subdirectory, try to reinstall, it should now work.
