Impossible to install Vista on Portege M400 - not compatible with ACPI
Hello
I have a toshiba portege m400.
It has windows xp professional installed SP3 (the former owner he replaced with that of the xp tablet edition - I want to upgrade to vista so I can have the capabilities of the rear shelf!)
In any case, I have a vista version - a version upgrade Home premium.
When I try to install it it comes up with the error:
+' This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed on a computer that supports ACPI. Contact the manufacturer of your computer for an update of the BIOS, or install Windows on an ACPI compatible computer. " +
When I try to boot from the cd it gets up to when I type in the product key, but then he tells me I have to run this from my current operating system.
I tried to update the BIOS (it is currently 1.8 and I heard vista needs 2.0 at least). I tried to install the latest driver from the Web from Toshiba - BIOS version 3.2.8 site but it says "this computer is not supported" even if I went through the procedure of choice of type of my laptop and spec and the pilot came on his list.
Now I'm pulling my hair out.
Can someone help me please!
Would be to get a full version of vista (not an upgrade version) work and boot from the cd because it seemed to go further like this?
Thank you!
Hi guys
I think I know how you will be able to update the BIOS
I read here in the forum that in very rare cases, you have the Toshiba preinstalled OS in order to update the BIOS
So in my opinion, you will be able to update the BIOS if install you the operating system from the Toshiba recovery disc.
After installation try to update the BIOS
After the BIOS has been updated you could install the new Vista
See you soon

Hi all, I am interested in my Sony Vaio AR41L (under Vista 32 bit SP2) upgrade to Windows 7, but when I run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it tells me that, for the graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GT, the driver "installed for this device is not compatible with Windows 7.
Apparently, NVIDIA is not a solution and sent people to Sony, and Sony say that they have not updated the drivers for Windows 7 and that we do not know when they expect to do...
All known and solved this problem? Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Hello
You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.

Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

Program, managing your money get the version of the file is not compatible with Windows Vista
I'm trying to run an old program, manage his money, on Vista Home Premium 64 - bit. It ran OK on Win XP. When I try to run the setup.exe, I get error - "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows hou are running." I tried to use the program compatibility Wizard. No help. Same mistake. Anything else I can try?
If you get this error and the Compatibility Mode doesn't help, then the program simply is not compatible with this version of Vista, and if you want the program, you will need to check with the manufacturer to see if they make a full install version which is compatible with Vista and buy the program more recent. If they do not have such a version, then I'm afraid you're just out of luck with this program. The only other option MIGHT be Virtual PC, but even that is not a guarantee and is a little extreme just to get an old program running.
Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.
Good luck!
