    Hey Larry907

    Uninstall and reinstall the printer

    but 1st go to the website of the printer manufacturers and see if printer vista drivers are here for your printer model

    If you have vista drivers available for your printer model reinstall the printer

    If there are no vista drivers, it may be time to upgrade your printer

    consult the manufacturer of the printer

  • Main problems after upgrading from XP to Vista on Qosmio F20

    I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista on my Qosmio F20 and having problems. It seems that I lost the ability to change screen resolutions, to adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Basically, I lost the laptop functions. I also tried updating the BIOS but get the following error message "BiOS update only is not supported OS - unsupported OS or service pack installed.»

    This also makes very slow computer.

    You now have a few questions, or you wrote just a report on your experience of Vista on Qosmio F20?

    The fact is that Toshiba does not support Vista on this laptop model and thereby you will ever complete Vista of operation (including the Toshiba tools and utilities). For supported laptops, Toshiba offered special Vista supporting BIOS but for your laptop, this update of the BIOS does not exist.

    Sorry! :(

  • I just upgraded from Lion to El Capitan. Impossible to update iphoto now. How to do?

    I just upgraded from Lion to El capitan (face in RAW format with a new camera compatibility). iPhoto does not. A message says: not available for this material either under the name of another user or reimbursed. How is it possible with a MacBook pro reinstalled with iPhoto?

    How to get this update? 5I'm very few qualified in the computer and not ready for the pictures). Thank you for the France.

    This may be a long ball, because you are upgrading a Lion at El Capitan.

    According to the version of iPhoto you had on Lion, you may be able to recover iPhoto.

    And possible only if you iPhoto with your ID on your Macbook Apple.

  • I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. From LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38 K stored on my SSD to form

    I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. Starting LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38K stored on my SSD to form the LR6 catalog, but it is now 108 GB. Is he aware would be so much bigger than LR5 LR6 catalog? Should I redo, selecting the LR5 catalog to import to the LR6?

    I don't pretend to re-do an import, I do not import or re - import at all.

    You can delete the catalog Lightroom 6 and his insights that you created. You want to have the Lightroom 6 to upgrade the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Use the file-> open catalog and point to the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Once it is successful, you can also delete or archive the 5 Lightroom Catalog and delete its previews. As a piece of advice, never re - import photos. NEVER, as in... do not, do not, don't go anywhere near it.

    Regarding the size of the preview, you can control this in Lightroom under the catalog tab file management settings.

    You should always uninstall programs.  Before that, however, you must disable by opening one of the applications in each different Suite and by selecting help-> Deactivate.

    cannot activate windows vista ultimate 64-bit it says error code: 0xc004E003

    Hi Jarska,

    ·        You did changes to the computer recently before the issue started?

    ·        If your computer came pre-installed with Windows Vista, or you don't have it installed separately?

    You receive this error 0xC004E003 when the Software Licensing Service reported that license evaluation failed on your computer. You can access the link below and follow the steps in method C and check if that helps you solve the problem of activation. If the C method does not work, you can follow the steps in method G and try activation using the automated phone system.

  • Qosmio G50-115: how to upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate

    Dear friends,

    I am a teacher in a local college. We decided to buy the Qosmio (device name: G50-115, device number: PQG55E-01J00GEN, product group: QOSMIO) for our Department. We bought two so far for the trial. But my job is now on the sword.

    These laptops are pre-intstalled with Vista Home Premium SP1 and we need to upgrade these to Vista Ultimate. We have a DVD of Windows Vista Ultimate, but it's without SP1 on it. When I run and update, it rejects the upgrade because the installed version is newer than the version I have. Microsoft is no help, they said that you bought...

    Microsoft advised me to uninstall SP1, but I can't do that because there is no option in Control Panel to do this.

    If I install clean I won't lose nice software from Toshiba. I did a recovery disk, but do not think that I will be able to install this software. If I can download all necessary drivers, but I am interested in utilities/software installed at the factory.

    Would you please advise me what to do. Y did he we can get all the software of Qosmio on a DVD for instalation.

    Kind regards

    Dr. Sophie

    You should try to wake SP1 to the drive ultimate because I think that the problem is due the SP1 is already installed, but not on the final drive.

    You can do this with vLite: http://www.vlite.net/.
    With this tool, you can create your own with integrated service packs, patches, driver installation disc and more.

    Try this, it only takes a few minutes.

    What I have to do, with ho I need to contact Toshiba to send me Windows Vista Ultimate?

    You can upgrade your operating system, but Toshiba has nothing to do with it. Buy this laptop you bought the license for Vista Home Premium. If you want to have Ultimate you must purchase by Microsoft valid activation key.
