• Windows XP Home Edition do not recognize the validation key

  I'm abroad and currently helping an exchange student colleagues with his laptop before riddled of virus. To know that she was about 6 years without a reinstallation of the machine running, I went ahead and did. Since then, I was unable to activate their copy of Windows XP Home Edition (receive the incorrect product key error) despite the verification on his Toshiba Satellite A105-S361 code. What would be my next step to get this posted thing?

  License types must match.  Chances are that the license code on the Toshiba is an OEM license key.  It validates that if Windows XP has been installed from an OEM Windows XP Edition Setup disk family.  If you tried to install Windows by using an XP retail installation disk, types of licenses will not match, and you will get an error similar to the one you describe.  At this point, if you do not have a Toshiba Windows Installer disk or if there is not a recovery partition still on the hard drive (accessible by pressing a button as soon as the monitor is active), you will need to contact Toshiba for more help/support.

• Korean version of Windows XP Home Edition, need to install the language English for Windows

  I tried all methods to install English through regional options, install the update patch and also installing Microsoft Desktop language settings change. None of this works and there seems to be no English language pack and MUI is only for Windows XP Professional not personal.

  I went and changed the menus of the tab Advanced English-United States and the regional tab. Is that all I can install it. In addition the tab details and the English set as default language. Yet all my Windows apps and windows are Korean.

  What can I do?

  I'm sorry, but as you know the MUI is only for XP Pro. You will need to either buy XP Home in English and do a clean install or upgrade to XP Pro Korean and get the language packs. (You cannot spend the Korean House in English Pro.) MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Satellite A200 PSAE3: Windows XP Home edition do not recognize the modem and sound card

  Hi all!

  I can't understand what is the problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAE3)... I downloaded all the files on the right of the Toshiba Download Center, updated the BIOS to WXP but XP still not find any sound card or any modem. He isn't finding a device with a "?" question mark on this...

  There are so many different drives, I tried, but no one has changed the situation...
  Anyone has any advice?

  Thanks in advance,

  ciroopi

  Well, I found the solution to the problem! :)

  so, I write these verses down for anyone who might know the same problems:

  as usual, strictly follow the 'Toshiba A200 Installation sequence' found on the TOshiba driver download page.
  as he [I jumped no useful installation programs]

  I advice restart you each time you install a component, in order to have under control the whole Exchange.

  1 Windows XP Service Pack2 (RTM) - of course ;) -.
  [...]
  DirectX V9.0c 5 (SP2)
  Windows Media Player 10 V10.00.00.4036 6
  [...]
  10 Microsoft .NET Framework V1.1.4322 (SR1)
  11 Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment V1.6.0
  12 Intel ICH8M Chipset utility V8.2.0.1014
  13 Intel VGA driver 6.14.10.4833 965GM

  Note that driver VGA, the ATI we too, was also a difficulty - in fact, I don't know what it would have done - for the AUDIO sound card.
  You may have read in the installation dialog box.

  Moreover, I do not know if you must install the sun java, .NET framework and WMP version that displays the list, versions that are OLDER than the most recent, but just to be sure, download the form versions THAT NET.

  at this point, you should see "unknown PCI device" in the unknown devices in the system control panel.

  14 Realtek ALC268 Audio Driver V5.10.0.5433

  for realtek, I suggest you download the driver from the zip from the realtek download page; Once extracted from the latest version for desktop or a temp directory, I suggest to install before all the patch KB888111 you might find in the \WDM_Rxxx\MSHDQFE.

  then restart.

  for now, you should not see the "unknown PCI device" no more where it was before, but under the "system devices", like her, where you could also end the "Intel PCI Express Root Port", "Pci Bus" and so on [ja? m saying this to you because ja? m Italian aid of XP, and I don't remember the exact English names...].

  Now, install the audio drivers by using the setup.exe that you find in the \WDM_Rxxx directory.
  It should reinstall the kbfix and install the new drivers.

  Reset.

  After the reboot, nothing happens, but...

  .. see the "unknown pci device" menu - here? m not sure the name but the one with the exclamation mark in the 'system devices' - select 'Properties' and then 'driver' and 'update driver'. Let XP find the NOT on the net. tell XP to look for "Video and Audio Controller, game" [you know, the English entry that usually stands for device audio and similar] and he must find a CORRESPONDING driver, which is the "MICROSOFT UAA BUS DRIVER for HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO".
  If XP don't select this driver by itself, you should look for "\windows\system32\DRIVERS\hdaudbus.sys".

  After that, XP automatically detects ALL audio devices and install the correct drivers.
  In addition, it now the entrance to the modem, modem to install the separate driver, that we could find in down in the "list system", like her, on the Toshiba download page.

  So, hope this helps!

  See you soon,.

• Windows Vista Home Edition - create and restore the system image

  One of my laptops old becomes a problem with a disk error.  I need to create a system image, replace the disk, and then restore the image.  Vista Home does not include the option to create an image - although a lot of 3rd party tools do.  Does anyone have experience using a 3rd third-party tool to do what I want, that is, restore the saved image to the new disk.  I plan to use a USB external drive to store the image so anything I start since then will have to be able to see and read from the external USB drive.

  Thank you, Ben (Project MVP)

  Hello

  be able to boot from a USB key depends on the properties of your motherboard

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  as you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

  Hello sepilo

  As Daniel said already, you can enter the BIOS settings using the ESC key at the beginning upward. You can also start the recovery procedure using key C. place the recovery CD in the DVD device, press the power button / stop and hold C button. After a few seconds, the recovery procedure will start automatically.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community!

  Try restarting your computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

  If the problem does not persist, I you suggest to restart the computer to return to normal boot and then run Autoruns by downloading it from the following link:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

  Once Autoruns runs in the computer, it will show the use of the processor by the exact process names. I suggest you to respond with the names of your higher CPU processes.

  If the situation is the same in safe mode, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer and try to run hardware diagnostics on the computer.

  Thank you.
