• my laptop used win xp pro, impossible to "validate your copy of windows." It was beautiful before the drive hard was replaced...

  My race of the used laptop win xp pro, I have MOM who bought her company when they all upgraded and got again.  It has never included a Win xp pro disk (it doesn't even have a disk drive, I have to hang it on an external disk drive) but it has the license key (original tag) on the underside.  A few months ago, the hard drive failed and crashed.  I had a friend replace the hard drive.  To get it up and running, that it must connect to a personal computer running win xp pro.  Reloaded all through his computer, I guess that copied to mine?  The problem is now media played just ran an update/upgrade to wmp 11 and now I get a message "validate your copy of windows" and Media Player does not work... When I go to real glass site enter key there is no place to do that, he just wants me to buy Win 7 & that is going to happen, what can I do? Please keep in mind, I'm completely broke and a stupid computer. I need the instructions of baby-talk, clear and explicit. Seriously, 5 years more about these things I do, help Pleeeease LOL!

• Satellite A30, Win XP Pro SP3 - modem does not work

  Another problem with this laptop Satellite A30
  The built-in modem does not work.

  * Explanation: *.
  The driver is correct and downloaded from the Toshiba support site.
  The modem is identified as "Toshiba software modem amr" and is installed on com3 port.

  When I click on "diagnosis" and "ask modem" (right labels can be different, since my is an Italian win xp, I just translated the Italian labels), a window pops up saying: it is impossible to open the door (port), the modem is connected to.

  I tried to change the com port of the modem to different numbers, but the problem is the same.
  I don't know if the modem is a real map connected somehow to the main Board or is built right on the main map. It would be the first case, I may change see ad. BTW, the mini slot pci is already occupied by the gigabyte of Wi - Fi, so the modem must be elsewhere.

  This is strange, since I've done at least 2 other win xp pro on this machine facilities, always download and install the appropriate drivers, and the modem has never worked.
  Thank you
  S.

• P50 win 10 Pro - footprints digital has stopped working

  Hi all

  I just got my P50 (20EQS00600, M1000M, i7-6700HQ, 16 GB of RAM, 512 GB SSD) about a week ago and I quite like it. However, there is one thing that drives me crazy: after that I upgraded to Win 7 Pro 64 bit for win 10 Pro, the fingerprint feature has stopped working. This issue seems to be related to those reported in these two threads for the P70, but at the same time appears sufficiently different to warrant a new post:

  https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkPad-P-and-W-series-mobile/P70-fingerprint-software-issue/m-p/22517...

  https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/ThinkPad-P-and-W-series-mobile/fingerprint-and-sound-problems-P70/TD-p/...

  So, here is what I did:

  (1) I correctly installed Win 10 w/o retaining data/settings from the previous installation of Windows 7; I even reformatted the SSD drive.

  (2) for the initial installation, was asked by Windows Hello register prints I've done.

  (3) fingerprint worked during the first connection, but then disappeared as if by magic. Hello Windows is no longer appears as a connection option in the control panel of Win.

  (4) I found in Device Manager the Synaptics WBDI reported the following problem: "this device cannot start. (Code 10) ".

  (5) repeated uninstall and reinstall drivers are without success. I tried both have Win a driver and manual to install the drivers I downloaded from Lenovo page.

  (6) when I uninstalled the drivers and then wiped the fingerprints stored in the BIOS, I was again able to register fingerprints with Windows Hello. However, this time the fingerprints were not yet registered in Windows, and I had to cancel the procedure. Immediately after, the Synaptics driver stopped working, cf. 4).

  I am at a loss what to do. Strange thing is that I ran Win 7 for about a week, and the fingerprint reader worked fine all the time. (Due to the scaling of the questions on my 4 k screen, I bit the bullet and went to win 10, in case you're wondering.)

  So everyone out there has the same problem, does anyone have a solution?

  Thank you in advance and the best,

• Error message @ boot Win 7 Pro "it was Aproblematique from C:\programdata\ofpviaowu.dat - the specified module could not be found."

  Error message @ boot Win 7 Pro "there was a problem starting C:\programdata\ofpviaowu.dat - the specified module could not be found."

  This error message appears whenever I have start my computer and windows starts (Firefox doesn't start up). 15.01 Firefox work properly otherwise.

  This started after I installed the 15.0.1 patch.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but the problem remains. Search Google for "ofpviaowu.dat" came with "2012-08-29 Firefox version 15 startup Crash Report" as the only listing.

  Is this a Firefox problem?

  My system has this file: C:\ProgramData\Mozilla\logs\. I don't think that Firefox or update service should write directly to the root of C:\ProgramData\. It could be a configuration error, or it could be completely different.

  You may be able to remove your boot sequence problem .dat file using Microsoft Autoruns utility: Autoruns for Windows. If you find an entry, can describe you it?

  Stick with the version you have now. The versions of Firefox 4 + need a processor with SSE2 instruction set, as in the Intel P4 processors.

• ProDesk 600 G1 TWR: restore ProDesk for Win 7 Pro

  This is the situation:
  I have a HP ProDesk 600 G1 TWR with upgrade to Win 10 Pro. Some limitations of the software, we need to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro. There is the HP Recovery partition but F11 does not work, I think because for some reason, the HARD drive turned to the dynamics. Now, like a miracle, I found the DVD of the PC kit, well well, I'm not sure complete if belong to this concretely workstation, but HP for the same model.

  

  The question: what about the license? In my view, it is an OEM license and I don't have the key. Can I use the DVD Win 7 Pro for the recovery of the PC? What the activation process in this case?
  
  Of course, if it is possible just to use the recovery partition, will be great.
  Thanks in advance!

  Hello:

  You should be able to use the recovery discs to install W7 without key.

  This member of the forum has just done the same with a similar business office.

  His situation was that it has installed an SSD.

• Re: Tecra R950-18F: win 8 Pro starts a new SSD drive

  Hello

  Having a few issues with the victory 8 DVD pro included with my laptop.

  BIOS is set as UEFI + secure boot, win 8 pro dvd starts and I can start recovery, after a while, he asks disc 2 and starts to recover win 8.

  After completion and reboot, it does not start and shows just the toshiba logo.

  Factory hdd with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 is replaced by the bios.

  What could be the problem?

  > Drive HARD factory is replaced with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 recognized by the Bios.

  You have the same start-up problems 8 win using the original HDD equipped Tecra R950?

  From my point of view, it would be possible that this laptop does not start successfully because of the new SSD.

  I recommend you check the previous HARD disk.
  If the laptop could start correctly, the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

  In some cases, it would be possible that the SSD firmware must be updated.

• Drivers Win XP Pro and install a command of Qosmio E10

  Hello
  I recently bought Qosmio E10 in Korea. The OS is Korean Win XP Home. I would like to change, so I guess I have two options:
  1. get a restore in English CD. But I read that Toshiba has the strange rule do not give the CD of restoration of another language. I wrote to them, they answer for now.
  2 install Win XP Pro myself (I have only this license). In this case, the question should be able to get all the drivers I need. I found good drivers in several places:
  On http://www.toshiba.co.kr, but I worry that these drivers are for Korean XP.
  The other place is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
  In this place, most of the drivers is for Media Center Edition. There are drivers for XP Pro, but they are not so many and there is no order of installation. There is for example, no NVidia driver, this driver is available for the media center. Maybe I can use Media center drivers on XP Pro?

  So my question is: do I have to use drivers and and what order to get a good working XP Pro. It would be good to know where to download QosmioUI. I found the Linux player and I install it, but I also want to have the drive in Windows.

  Hello

  As far as I know that the software is delivered on laptop and if you buy a laptop, you automatically buy OS and license for use. This means that you can not order a DVD of recovery on another language. Qosmio E10 comes with Windows MCE2004 SP1a.

  The only possibility is to install the Microsoft Windows XP (full version, with or without MCE) operating system, and then install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities separately.

  For the English language you can find them on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com topic support & downloads.

  Good bye
