Hey kbp2009

before buying check with toshiba xp to see if xp drivers are available for your toshiba model

If not available, save your money

If they are available then buy xp or if you have vista business or ultimate edition ask toshiba about downgrade rights to xp professional

are there drivers xp read the below information about this procedure a custom own installation to remove the vista partition during the installation process of xp

  • After installing Windows Vista, upgrades of office is now only 2 thirds of the screen, with one third black.

    Original title: April 16 to restart my computer after installing Windows Vista upgrades, my office is now only 2 thirds of the screen, with the third other black

    The whole office is there, but it is located in the Center, if the screen, with black bands at the top and bottom. By clicking full screen on the top right has no effect.

    Hi Jeremy,.

    Thanks a lot for your help. You're right, I should have said no upgrades and updates.
    There were a total of 10 updates:
    4 a security updates for Vista,
    1 security update for the Microsoft 2010 information access path,
    1 day of cumulative security for IE9.
    1 windows Live essential 2011
    1 definition update Windows Defender (KB915597)
    1 "" for Office 2010 "
    1 April 2013 malware tool
    I uninstalled Windows Live Essentials. I felt that I should not uninstall the updates of security, and the Defender update can not be uninstalled. It made no difference.
    I also checked the graphics card and told me that I had the latest version of the software.
    Then I checked the configuration of the monitor and graphics card configuration and found I could set the configuration to full frame. I did it and now all is well again.
    How and why the full frame disappeared April 16 remains a mystery.
    Thank you very much for your information without your help I would have been unable to delve deeply into the system. I learned a lot.

  • Need to find a way to install Win Vista Home (I have my own series) for Win 7 Upgrade post.

    My laptop came with Windows Vista, and I recently bought an upgrade to Windows 7 for her. The upgrade works only as an upgrade, not as a stand-alone installation.
    My computer recently crashed, and with top Vista recovery CD is defective, so I have no way to use the upgrade CD.
    Is it possible to arrange a download of the Vista test for my to validate with my own serial number or to order a copy?

    Hello

    Here are different ways 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:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Check if you have 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

    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.

  • I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1525) and now my wireless does not work.

    Hi, I have re-installed Windows Vista on my laptop (dell insparon) 1525 and now my wireless does not work. ive tried re installing driver, but it says operating system not supported. I used the disc that came with the computer of the re install and I even tried to install service pack 1. .

    original title: Wireless problems after install.

    I just tried both, the dell is one that says OS not supported"and the intel, it went very well, but my 'network controller' still have a yellow top thing in Device Manager. and I always wireless. any other ideas? Thank you for the help

    Question...  You have whatever it is listed in the "Network adapters" section of "Device Manager" now?

    While ensuring that the exclamation point is not for your wired network device (plausible) or bluetooth (plausible) and you just need to configure your wireless network to connect to * your * wireless network now.

    You may have to contact Dell to see why none of their drivers receive your wireless device works on the original operating system, what they included.  This could be a hardware problem PURE.

    Hello BrianHobday,

    You cannot transfer the Vista pre-installed on your Acer laptop on your desk.

    The preinstalled Vista licenses are an OEM license and are locked on 1 laptop hardware / computer on which they are installed; in your case, the Acer laptop.

    Hi man chic,

    1. This only happens when you try to install the printer HP or with other programs?

    Step 1:

    Before you install Windows Vista SP2, uninstall completely printing software.

    Check out the link to uninstall a program:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    Step 2:

    After installing SP2, try to install the latest version of the drivers available for the printer and the printer and check if it helps.

    Links of HP:

  • Install new Vista, corrupt registry, 0 x 0000225

    This is the first time I tried to install Vista on this desktop computer, but I am also having bad to do a XP Pro install also.  The reason for the installation was that I could not start Windows at all after the power went out while the PC is in sleep mode.  When thiat, he was running XP Pro and then I decided that I would be upgrading to Vista

    I use a motherboard ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe with an AMD x 64 processor, 2 GB RAM, NVIDIA 7600 GT graphics card.

    I can boot Windows CD installed fine, but once that he only the initial reboot after installing Windows, I get an error that the registry is corrupted and it gives me the code 0 x 0000225.

    Here is what I did to solve it.

    Hi Wafflechunk,

    1. do you format the hard drive before doing the clean install of Vista?

    If no important data on the hard drive, then I would say allows you to perform a clean install by formatting cells.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion p6310y: need standalone Serial ATA Drivers to install Windows Vista on Pavilion p6310y

    I bought your desktop Pavilion p6310y on eBay, and I really like it. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on it without problem. For the purposes of running the software (in particular, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007), I also want to install Windows Vista Ultimate on it, on another partition.

    I was under the impression that Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - Bit was originally installed the operating system when this system was released, however, when I start the installation support Windows Vista (which I created from a downloaded ISO), it requires additional drivers (no doubt, Serial ATA drivers) before instalatio, also no hard drives appear in the drive list. Anyone know where I can get these independent Serial ATA driver files? The controller is a NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA controller. I do not have the recovery of original installation disks and don't think that it would be possible to get to this point, this system is no longer supported by HP.

    Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

    Mark W. Stroberg

    Hi, Mark:

    I compressed upwards and tied the driver for the sata raid controller, you require to the nvidia chipset, that your PC has below.

    The best way to install the driver is as follows...

    Extract (copy) the files on a USB FlashDrive without any folder.

    With the flash player and the support of Vista installation in the machine, boot from the Vista installation media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and I hope that Vista will install.

  • Can I install Windows Vista on my A110-178

    People,

    I am in possession of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A110-178. I would like to know if I can install Windows Vista on this laptop? And what version, Home Basic, home premium, ultimate or business.

    Kind regards

    Tim Snijckers

    Hello Tim

    I checked the Toshiba download page, and it seems that the drivers for Vista are available. Your laptop should have mode number PSAB0. Please visit http://support.toshiba-tro.de > support & download and choose your model of laptop.

    Before you start the installation of Vista, it is recommended to update BIOS first. I did the same thing for friends Satellite A100. After the BIOS update, I was able to install Vista and all the stuff from Toshiba with no problems.

  • Firefox 3.6.6 install corrupted Vista?

    Is it possible Firefox 3.6.6 install corrupted Vista?

    This has happened

    Don't know how many times

    Vista corrupted after installing Firefox.

    User Agent

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

    I highly doubt that installing Firefox would cause a problem like this (assuming that you have downloaded Firefox from an official Mozilla download mirror site), but I'd be curious to know what caused the installation of Firefox crash at the start.

    If you have access to the internet with another PC, my advice is to go on a Windows forum (such as this one - http://lounge.windowssecrets.com/index.php ) and ask for help with trying to get Vista to boot before doing anything as drastic as reinstall Vista. I've never used Vista myself, but older versions of Windows have a Safe Mode which launches a bare minimum of services, and there is also a ScanDisk routine that can be launched.

    The new laptops are equipped with a SATA controller and this is why you would need to include the SATA drivers that would recognize the HARD drive correctly and would help to insatall the Windows operating system!

  • Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? No need to install Windows Vista

    Hello
    I'm new to this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in the Brazil. I have a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
    To do this, you must perform a clean installation of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100), audio (Soundmax), TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (modem of toshiba), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install the Toshiba, Toshiba Bluetooth nvidia display driver (monitor and stack), driver Toshiba flash media, toshiba RAID texas (drivers and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
    You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.

    Below some pictures of my desktop of the G20 screen:

    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen1.jpg
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpg

    And here is an example of the use of backgrounds animated with Windows Vista, deskscapes called dreamscene.
    It is in pause mode
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg

    To perform a new installation of windows Vista:

    Please, download drivers Toshiba RAID here:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/RAID.rar

    1 copy the contents of this archive on a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
    2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
    3. turn on your computer and press F12 to display the start menu.
    4. Select the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
    5. on the first Setup screen, choose your language options, and then press "next".
    6. press on "install now".
    7 type your product key and then press "next".
    8. accept the license terms by checking the box, then press "next".
    9. when he asked "which type of installation that you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
    10. when it is asked "Where do you want to install Windows?", make sure that your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, and then click on "Load driver".
    11. navigate to the location you copied the RAID drivers then press 'OK '.
    12. the installation program will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
    13 make sure that the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected, and then press "next".
    14. continue the installation of Windows Vista as usual.

    Now, you will need drivers Toshiba for your Qosmio G20:
    See the information of Device Manager:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg

    Drivers:
    1. SD memory controller
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar

    2 battery and Bluetooth monitor
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar

    4 Texas FlashMedia controller
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/flasmedia.rar

    And finally the Toshiba Utilities:
    Toshiba Configfree
    Toshiba Assist
    RAID utilities
    Remote Control Manager
    Toshiba SD Memory utilities

    That's all...

    So, I say to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.

    Hope this helps the people who need and want to install Windows Vista Aero on their computers Qosmio G20.

  • Need an instalation own Vista - no recovery disc

    Hello

    Short version: I would like to have a clean install of Vista Business disc, not only the recovery media. I paid for the license (supplied with the notebook), and Microsoft has confirmed that I am entitled to it. But it is supposed to be provided by Toshiba. I contacted the store where I bought my laptop - they refused!

    Long version: I have problems installing updates for Vista on my laptop (Dungeon errors). I contacted the technical support from Microsoft, we have tried to implement everything, but he only worse (got blue screen several times, lost her!). The last option they offered was to do an Inplace upgrade. To do that I need the installation media for Vista. I don't want to (and can not) format the hard drive around and lost all my data. As I said, Microsoft has confirmed that I have the right to have the installation disc, but my store doesn't provide me with one. Such a drive will be useful also later - I don't want to format all partitions on every time that something goes wrong with Vista.

    Can you please tell how to get the disc?

    Two questions: 1. If I get the installation disk, the recovery media works as well? I want both, just in case where...
    2. what happens if I download the operating system, somewhere on the internet (just to make this direct upgrade)? Would this work? If I can download any version or should it be i.e. OEM version?

    I'd appreciate any help really. The system becomes worse and worse.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    of course, they refused. It does not matter what you told Microsoft. They are only the manufacturer of software and they sell the license to Toshiba that sells for you when you buy a machine of Tosh.

    Thus, they also offer an operating system OEM preinstalled, which applies to the license on your machine, but only to this recovery. This is called licensing.
    Never heard of him? -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License
    Or heard talk of OEM? -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_equipment_manufacturer (Please read the text with the title "Operating systems")

    So, you think Toshiba owes you a disc of original and authentic of the operating system that was preinstalled on your system?

    No, negative. They don t. And you won´t get a disk, it is a fact, because you ALREADY HAVE a DRIVE WITH a WORKING OPERATING SYSTEM.

    If you want to have a system to obtain another copy of Windows Vista with it s license and install this. The recovery works by the way, no matter if you install Linux, MacOS or Windows of non-recovery.
