• Satellite Pro M70-113: cannot install Vista graphics driver and lines appears on the display

  Hello

  I have satellite pro m70-113 with ati x 700 graphics card.

  When I installed vista, he installed the default drivers for the x 700 'mobility radeon x 700-microsft Corp.-WDDM '.

  I've updated the display drivers for vista, that released by toshiba 2 days back... but the driver is not updated to the latest version, only the catalyst control center is installed when I ran the update of the driver of toshiba.

  The problem is that whenever I put my laptop in standby or hibernation and resume... the screen shows thin lines vertical/horizontal... and I can't use the laptop... and I have to still put the system to sleep, just to hope that it is not blocking the screen this time...

  This problem is 25% of the time only when resume...

  This problem is not resolved by the update driver for toshiba has released a few days back... as is not installs the drivers (I can't even install the drivers with the option "update drivers" of Device Manager and select file driver update from toshiba.) It says windows find new driver, but could not install the driver... Contact the manufacturer...)

  This snap shows the problem... : http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2783/12042007366copyod1.jpg

  I updated the driver from an earlier version of catalyst, as it is downloaded from the ati site before that toshiba has released the update... this time it updates some 8. XXX version but the screen problem remains...

  Second, this update of the driver leaves me not sleep my system... the process starts for a sleep, but go back to the locked screen without making sleep ever... so I have no choice to get stuck with the default Windows... drivers having only the problem of the screen... and not the problem of sleep...

  Anyone here with a solution?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I have Satellite M70-159 and I noticed the same thing several times. For most Vista works well but I don't remember cases in which the described problem occurs. I was just curious on M70 Vista and have had no time to intensive testing.

  Anyway, it will be interesting to know if you have already updated the BIOS to the latest version 5.10. If this is not the case to do this and watch carefully if the problem persists.

• The disk (with no key) installed Vista Home Premium, and the license key OEM is for... Home Basic!

  I recently did a clean install with the disc that came with my Dell XPS6400 (bought in the auction) local computer, which had only "Vista 32bits" written on it and no product key.  I thought I could use the key on the sticker on the underside of the computer OEM license, even if the 2 characters in the 3rd section were partially missing - they had to be one of the other four.  When OEM license was initially considered valid, I realized that I had not yet downloaded a service pack, but after that, he was still to come as being invalid!  Then, I found that the version of Vista that was on the disc was "Home Premium" and the OEM for "Home Basic" license key  Do I have to reinstall the whole system, drivers, etc., in order to establish the upgrade?  (Please say "NO", there is an easier way to do this!    Here's the MGADiag. -I hope it helps.  :-}

  The product key on the bottom will work for what he says he is, Windows Home Basic Edition.

  Reinstall the correct Systyem, Windows Home Edition basic operation to use this product key.

  And Microsoft sells more than Vista.

  To reinstall Vista Home Basic read this information.

  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.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought, not that one 32-bit, vista, your computer must be on the hard drive to reinstall recovery Partition Vista to how you bought your computer, which may or may not work after the installation of the wrong edition.

  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

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• DeskJet 2546 b: Wireless print job stays in queue and poster printer offline after the upgrade to Windows 10

  I write a fix I found for a pretty annoying problem involving 10 Windows and HP wireless printers.

  My Deskjet 2546-b printer was printing OK wireless to the point 8.1 of Windows until that I upgraded my computer to Windows 10. Immediately after I upgraded to Windows 10, I could not scan, so I reinstalled the printer software and has worked for a day or two and then the printer would print not unless I restarted the printer or the computer - sometimes 2 or 3 times. This went on for a few weeks, sometimes it would be nice, sometimes, usually after the computer restarts, he would simply go offline. Once, he went offline 3 times when I was printing about 20 postage labels, recently he went 1 week without any problems.

  Long story short, after a lot of troubleshooting and to help a friend to HP, I found the problem to be associated with the WSD/service Port in Windows 10. My printer still maintains a stable connection with my Netgear router (wireless to the printer light stays on blue) and I was able to scan from the HP software and I could ping the printer... but printing would be just stuck in the print queue (the spooler service) and the printer showed offline in the queue, hardware and windows devices , or when printing from a program like Windows.

  I learned that if I went in devices and printers, until I sent a print job, if the printer showed offline, I could save time by restarting the printer simply and he would come every time (less painful) online.

  

  But it's just a solution and not a solution.

  Nothing worked... not even print and scan doctor. The final fix that worked was to define an IP address manually for the printer, and then I put the print driver to use a standard TCP/IP port.

  Here is the step by step. Your printer must already be connected to your network (solid blue on printer).

  Step 1: Make sure your printer uses a manual IP address

  (1) to obtain the IP address of your printer:

  • If your printer has a control panel with a menu, it's easy... Just look in the settings menu without wire/report and write your printer IPv4 address.
  • If your printer is not a menu of fancy and repower the computer and printer HP Print and Scan Doctor network menu display use (wireless), or you can connect to your router from a web browser (usually 192.168.1.1) and look at attached IPs (like me). Some printers can also print a report of the network when you hold down some buttons everything back up and running, but you will need to search the web site of the Internet or HP to find the process for your printer model - the report displays the IP Address of the printer.

  (2) once you have the IP address of the printer number, type this information in a web browser... like 192.168.1.x (where x is the last number of your printer)

  Web page of the printer should find - otherwise, use another browser (you can use a tablet or iPad if you want). HP has several different forms of printing of web pages (embedded web servers) depending on your printer model, but they all have a large number of parameters.

  (3) since the network tab or section, look for a manual IP address configuration.

  

  (4) suggest an IP address or type in a new.  I've personally used suggest and then replaced by the last number 241. You want to use a high number, something in the order of 240 to 250 to reduce the risk of problems caused by your router assign this number to something else on your network. Note the 4 digits for the new IP address manual, you will use them later.

  5) click apply and close the web page of the printer.

  Step 2: Make the print driver using the manual IP address of the printer

  Open the devices and printers in Windows, right click on your printing device and select printer properties. Follow the prompts to get the WSD port and on a new local port...

  

  1) click on the ports tab.

  (2) add the Port.

  (3) click on after the first screen, and then click new port type.

  (4) enter the IP address of the printer.

  (5) next.

  (6) select the new port.

  7) click OK.

  You have now two pilots displayed in the printers and devices window, you can now print... but you might not be able to scan and the HP printing software may not work as he might want to lets you add a new printer when you open it... If Yes, proceed to step 3.

  Step 3: Remove print devices and install a new one.

  Need to do this to get the software back HP synchronized so you can scan.

  (1) right click 2 print devices listed in the window of your printer and remove them by clicking on remove device.

  (2) open the HP printer Assistant software (from the icon on the desktop or you can search Windows by using the name of your printer).

  (3) installation/add a new printer... go fast and a new device icon is added to the printers and devices window.

  4) return to the printers and devices window and open the properties of the printer again for your printer icon.

  5) go to the ports tab (yet) and you'll see a new selected WSD port, select Port Standard, you created earlier in step 2.

  (6) you have now two print devices in the window (again), but now everything should work.

  These two devices alone from here on out. Do not remove one and everything should work fine. At least it worked for me. I hope it works for you. I'm hoping a Windows update resolves this problem soon, I see many people who cannot print or scan wireless after they upgraded - not just the stuff of HP.

• HP Pavilion g6: applications like QuickWeb HP and HP Power Manager remain after upgrade to Windows 10

  I want to upgrade my pc to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for windows 10 per repair installation that is running the Windows 10 installation on my pc files after copying the originally from the installation of Windows 10 disc. This will improve my pc Windows Enterprise 10, but with the option of maintaining of the personally only files.

  Hi @akinzaxy,

  Thanks for the information. When I checked the page software and drivers for your laptop, I noticed there are no drivers available for Windows 10. This means that HP has not tested Windows 10 on your laptop model. HP does not guarantee that the Windows updates will have all the drivers. This does not mean that it will not only work the result is unknown. If your system meets all the requirements of system here is a link to purchase the upgrade. Free Windows 10 update (from microsoft.com). You have an option for the first 30 days to restore your previous operating system.  You can put 10 Windows on a USB key, so you should have a copy to reinstall Windows 10 If you wish. Windows USB/DVD Download Tool (from microsoft.com). Should you like to recover back to factory settings, I suggest you create your recovery media before you do the upgrade if you have not yet done this. HP PC - creation of recovery disks or save an Image of recovery of a USB (Windows 7)

  Here is a link for you to take a look if you still want to do a cover, once you have upgraded to Windows 10. Computers HP - perform a recovery of the system (Windows 10) HP. Regarding the power of HP and the HP Quick Web software management tool, they would not. As Windows 10 has not been tested on your model, I can not say if they would execute corectly or not. You can download the software from the software page and HP driver for your laptop and try to install. If they do not work as expected, you can try installing them by using compatibility mode. If you are interested to try this, here is a link to the Compatibility Mode (from windows10forums.com) as a guide.

• Trackpad and keyboard does not work after upgrade to Windows 10

  Trackpad and keyboard do not work after the upgrade to Windows 10 in Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro in early 2011. So, I'm unable to enter password. How to connect? Can I go back to Windows 8?

  1. you can turn off your Mac and your power it back up and hold the Alt/Option key.

  2. you can also run the following procedures to restore the OS default.

• I bought a new computer with Vista last summer from Best Buy with a free upgrade to Windows 7. They said that the upgrade on their part has expired, but I can get the program from Microsoft for $18. If this is true... who should I contact?

  How can I get an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 without having to pay full price?

  See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/buy/offers/upgrade-option.aspx

  Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows. Please post future questions about the upgrade in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

• Is it possible to install Vista 64 with and key to Vista 32 on Satellite A200

  Hey there ' All!

  I bought a Satellite A200 coming with a 32-bit Home premium Vista. I also added 4 GB of RAM, and I would like to install the 64 version to take advantage of the full range of memory.
  Does anyone know if it is possible to get a 'free' DVD of the corresponding 64-bit version?

  Thank you

  To my knowledge, this is NOT possible. Each single Vista operating system use a different key!
  If you need a 64 bit OS then you must buy it and you will get a new key!
