  • I want out emails in folders of ordinary files, but when I drag-and-drop, the "modification date" gets changed. How I can still see the date?

    To archive my e-mail files until I decided to switch to Thunderbird, I create regular folders in windows and drag and drop emails to outlook express in the appropriate folders. The "update" column displays the original date of the email... which is what I want to do with Thunderbird. In my view, that he treats it as a new file created today... that is not good for my archiving system of these professional work files that I need to find often in approximate date.

    I understand the forum that it is by default in Thunderbird. There is an add-on that can do what I'm doing?

    Thank you in advance,
    Netwon

    I think the reason what OE is the original date because each message is stored in a single file, while TB stores all messages in a folder in a file, an mbox file. Thus, when you save a message as a single eml file, its 'modification date' corresponds to the eml file date was written in the mbox file.

    You can find the ImportExportTools add-on useful because it allows you to add the date of the e-mail eml file name when enamel is exported ("Save selected messages" of the message right-click menu).

    Windows xp does not come standard with a dvd decoder, so it must be installed. This would have been done by Dell when you purchased if you say that you did not.

  • I want to install windows os(not genuine) in the mac, I use mac air beginning 15, 4 GB of ram, 128ssd.     I want to play counter strike (overall offensive) in the windows operating system.     is 4 GB of ram enough or it takes 8 GB of ram.

    in fact, I want to install windows os (not authentic) because I'm fond of counter strike

    so, mac support this game?

    or it takes 8 GB ram to play counter strike?

    operating system windows (not authentic) will cause no effect on mac?

    If I install the windows on mac operating system, I will award 58 GB in the windows operating system and remains to mac, goes no problem in the future, due to the windows operating system?

    This means that you ask for assistance on the use of a pirate copy of Windows?

    If you install Windows, you have the advantage of being able to run Windows and the inconvenience of having to deal with all the viruses and stuff for which Windows systems are prone.

  • I want to install Windows XP on Satellite A200 - 1 M 4

    I want to install windows xp A200 1 M 4...
    What do I do?

    Please answer my question.

    Hi hilalay

    In this forum, you will find hundreds of similar questions / answers
    I put t know what you want to know exactly, but the point is that your laptop A200 - 1 M 4 seems to belong to the series of PSAE0E.

    Choose this slot serial number form download if you need XP compatible drivers.

    The XP installation is not difficult. You must include the SATA driver in the XP CD. This is necessary in order to make the visible HARD drive and reinstall XP.

    [Check this way to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

    Finally, install all drivers Toshiba XP available and enjoy.

    By the way; the update of the BIOS XP would be desirable also because without BIOS XO some FN buttons will not work correctly.

  • Satellite L300 - 14G - want to install Windows 7 32 bit

    Can anyone help?

    I have a Satellite L 300 - 14G with a terrible copy of windows 7 on it (cannot be updated occasionally, validation problems, etc.).

    I think he still has the vista on HARD drive recovery partition (it's a healthy score of 1.46 GB OEM) but because its operation Win 7 I can't access it.

    Whenever I try to go in diagnostic tests (option of safe mode) there is no option for a factory restore that I tried with '0', all turning on but nothing.

    I really want to Win 7 32 bit on it & I was hoping there is a kind of installation disc Toshiba Win 7 32 bit similar to what use of Dell (who says Dell disk) which only works on PC Toshiba for a fee, clean install.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Your laptop has been pre-installed with Windows vista, and that's why you can order only a recovery disk Toshiba that contains a Vista system.

    If you use Windows 7, you must install this system using the Microsoft Windows 7 installation disc

    The essential Win 7 drivers can be downloaded from page driver Toshiba.

  • Satellite P200 - 17 c - I want to install Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I use Toshiba P200 - 17 c (PSPB6E) and were broadcast on the public beta of Windows 7 32 bit because it had been released a few months earlier, but I am surely informed Windows 7 64 bit is the way to go, so I would like to give it a try when the RC was released on 5 May. I have some questions I want to answer it please:

    1. the "spec" for my laptop indicates that it supports the Intel 64-bit architecture, but that the BIOS must also support 64-bit. Can someone tell me if my P200 will support and run Windows 7 RC 64 bit?

    2. my current BIOS version is v2.50 for 32-bit and the download page was also a v2.50 for 64 bit, does that mean if I want to use Windows 7 RC 64 bit, I need to Flash my BIOS using thev2.50 BIOS 64-bit?

    3. If the answer to Q2 is Yes and I flashed my BIOS using the d/l 64-bit, do I need to re - flash BIOS 32 bit if I want to go back to using any 32 bit OS?

    4. If the answer to Q3 is Yes, then I would have thought that Toshiba would have created a BIOS that would support 32-bit and 64-bit at the same time.

    Regrads

    Dave

    > As mentioned above, I am using Windows 7 32 bit and if I had to install Windows 7 RC 64 bit, would I need to update my BIOS with BIOS of 64-bit while I use a 32 bit OS and then install the 64 bit OS, or I install the OS 64-bit with my current 32-bit BIOS and then update once the 64 bit OS is installed?
    > (My personal feelings are that I had to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit BIOS while I use Windows 7 32 bits and then immediately to install Windows 7 64 bit)?

    If you want to update the BIOS, then you must first switch to the OS preinstalled Toshiba!
    I doubt that the BIOS update has been tested with Windows 7 at the moment and in my opinion, there is a high risk that something went wrong during the BIOS update process!

  • I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install Windows 7

    HP ENVY m6-1125dx Notebook PC

    My laptop came with Windows 8. I really don't like Windows 8, it is too restrictive. I want to uninstall Windows 8 and install Windows 7. How to go? Where can I get the operating system and driver software.

    Should I buy Windows 7 separately? Or can I use the same key?

    Before installing Windows 7, can I suggest an idea?

    I had the same problem: I'm a Windows 7 user who bought a laptop Windows 8 and don't really like the Metro user interface. It is half cooked for desktop/laptop computer, several apps to not scroll horizontally with the touchpad, etc, etc.

    But what I did install a simple program called "Debut8" (http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/) that still allows me to go right at the part 8 Windows desktop and use it as I have Windows 7. The advantage of this approach is that you get the benefits of the internal improvement of Windows 8 (some improvements in performance on Windows 7, etc.) and do not have the hassle/cost of installing Windows 7. You can also try a GPL program called Classic Shell (http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/). So far I am happy with debut8 as a solution.

    Anyway, worth before going through the cost and difficulty of installing Windows 7.

  • I want to install Windows XP edition SP2 family in Satellite A135-S2386

    Help, please.

    I want to install Windows XP Home SP2 for my Satellite A135-S2386 edition.
    Where can I get the drivers?

    Hello

    The SATA (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) driver must be installed first, if you want to reinstall the operating system XP on this laptop.
    The Intel Matrix Storage Manager can be downloaded also from Intel or the Toshiba Web site the page we. You should know that your laptop has been designed and delivered only for the American market, so you must use the Toshiba drivers from an American Internet site.

    However, I found many comments on Intel Matrix Storage Manager here in this forum.
    Then maybe you should use the Forum search option advanced for more useful discussions on this topic.
