Key, need software!

Hello

My Toshiba laptop basically died and now I need to reinstall Windows. Unfortunately I do not have the real media, but I still have a Windows Vista Home Premium OEM valid key.

Is there anywhere I can download the appropriate software (legitimately)? Technically speaking I still have the right to own and install this OS...

Thank you

How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

There is no Vista free download legal available.

http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can also do recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when in service yet!

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    I had the exact same problem and error as you message the guy but he fixed earlier. I'm not an expert, or even trained somehow. I just worked through until I got everything to install. If you try this, please back up your registry first.

    In any case, here's what I did.

    First of all, I uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software updater toally, _-anything with Apple in the name.

    I opened regedit using 'run as administrator '.

    I then went to the registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-1-5-18\Components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\108B43C0CEA676640B35306AE7D24051

    .. .and selected the folder DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8

    Right-click & click Permissions
    Click Advanced, and then click the owner tab
    Type "Administrators" in the current field of owners and th check Replace owner subcontainer and volumes

    (Note: I did this because I had another key with permission issues, after I fixed the original onelisted above)

    Apply the settings, and then click Permissions tab. Once more, add 'administrators' to the permission entries list, and then click on edit and select all the checkboxes of permission. Also click on the boxes of the 2 bottom regarding permissions inheritable.

    Click OK

    Now on the main permissions tab, choose administrators in the windows user name or group and then check the full control and read check boxes. Click OK.

    In the main window of regedit, you should now see the keys in the right pane for each subfolder in:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-1-5-18\Components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8

    In the menu bar click file > exit

    I downloaded and installed the new handset iTunes9 and apple Quicktime.

    Everything worked well. I hope this helps.

    If I buy adobe Elements 10 or later what software should I make the DVD to mov files, the files are large and I know they must be compressed and I don't want to lose quality... I know that adobe pro you still need software, but will still work with the elements and may itself make the compression... I know it can burn DVDs...

    vidog

    If you burn to a DVD disc in first items 10 and later versions, some choices are

    a. DVD-VIDEO standard screen or 4:3 16:9 on DVD disc

    Both will have the frame size of 720 x 480 pixels. But the big screen comes with a 16:9 flag that extends approximately 856/480 16:9 display video after encoding. The screening is not adjustable by the user... and you end up with the DVD-VIDEO format @ 29.97 images per second interlaced.

    b. format of the AVCHD on DVD

    Here is the video display 1920 x 1080. And, depending on the version, can be 29.97 images interlaced per second, or 23.976 progressive frames per second (if not just 29.97 images per second interlaced). Although you can generate some AVCHD DVD with a regular DVD burner, DVD AVCHD is in need of a blu - ray player that supports supported AVCHD DVD or one of these drives multimedia multi which is also.

    c. If the player allows... you can export your Timeline file saved on a USB Flash drive and then insert this USB Flash drive in the drive to get the reading of the file. On this route, you can set the Premiere Elements avancΘs to customize your choice of export preset.

    Please consult the bulletin and consider then, let us know if we have targeted your question. If this isn't the case, please give more details in the areas where we do not have.

  • Re: Satellite C660 - need software for keys FN for XP

    I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-a9k.
    I found all the drivers & configure Windows XP SP3.

    Can't find the FN keys software support for this model for XP.
    I tried common module + controls C650. It does not work.
    There is no package of added value for XP.

    Also the computer does not wake from sleep.

    Please advice.

    > I found all drivers & configure Windows XP SP3.
    Very interesting article. I found the support page for your model of laptop and when I click on drivers and choose WXP operating system almost nothing is listed.

    This model of laptop is not supported for WXP and configuration of Windows XP complete home edition will be very problematic.
