    Also check if you have any exclamation point or cross the marks on the sides of display devices listed in Device Manager.

    I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
    has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
    you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
    one or both. This traditional desktop Interface is almost
    identical to the interface of Windows 7. the biggest difference is that
    There is no Orb start clicking to bring up the start menu.

    But note that you can get the ORB start by using one of the many
    third-party programs, are free or very cheap (the classic interface
    http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
    http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
    Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
    the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
    the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.

    Just install one of these two and using the traditional desktop computer
    interface may be a better choice for you than going to Windows 7.
    I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with traditional workstations
    the interface and with 8 Start installed. If you were to look at and use
    my computer, you may have a hard time realizing that it is not
    Windows 7.
    I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.
    Want Windows 7 "to http://www.howtogeek.com/elk/298/45121/4206
    I can't address the issue with your games, except to say that
    whenever you move to a new version of the operating system, some of
    which is used to run on the former does not work on the new. And it's
    much more likely with utilities and games with companies
    applications.

  • Satellite L300 - 20 d - after updating the BIOS, that it does not start now

    Hello

    I bought my wife a Toshiba L300 - 20 d (PSLB8E-0CK00YEN). It came with loaded Vista, which it cannot do.

    My grandson offered also to sort. He has installed a new hard drive, loaded with XP and managed to get almost all the drivers working except the WiFi.

    After spending many hours, he decided to update the bios of v1.8 to v1.9. Since it does not start... It happens with the Toshba screen, start windows normally, then it attempts to load windows, flashing and start the cycle al.

    He has tried default settings, tried a XP disk, setting on the disk, nothing. He just does the same thing in safe mode.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated

    Concerning

    Keith

    Hello

    The wireless network card is enabled with the hardware switch on the computer laptop and FN + F8? Check this box!

    Additionally, make sure that the latest driver on the Toshiba site is installed, and check the settings of the wireless network adapter TCP/IP.

    Moreover a description that is more accurate than the WiFi works not would be very appreciated.

    I bought lightroom 6 at amazon, but it will not be installed. All I said "Installer failed to initialize, please download Adobe install advisor to detect the problem", but it does not exist. It gives me no more information than that. I already had a free annual subscription to cc through my new canon camera, but I installed for my mac already. No phone number to call, adobe contact to say amazon, what do I do?

    start at the top and work your way down to apply applicable patches until your problem is solved.

    If (win) cc: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html

    If your error is:

    "Setup failed to initialize. File not found. ' or 'could not initialize installation. This could be due to missing files.

    first of all, rename folder OOBE OOBE.old.

    to find the OOBE:

    Win 64 bit OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE

    Win 32 bit OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE

    Mac os: HD > library > application support of > adobe > caps

    Mac os: USER > library > application support of > adobe > OOB

    If it fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.

    If you use an installation dvd:

    Copy the contents of the drive in a desktop folder and install from this directory.

    If you are using a mac:

    1. try to create a new user account in Mac with administrator privileges.

    2. connect to the new user, navigate to Mac HD > Application > utilities > Adobe Installer folder, locate products such as Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and uninstall the

  • Equium M40X: I get to the banner of Toshiba, but Windows does not start

    When I start my 2 year old Toshiba Satellite M40X, I get to the banner of Toshiba, but Windows does not start. I tried using the recovery CD and it does not either.

    Any suggestions as to what could be the problem?

    Hello

    What do you mean with the banner of Toshiba? Did you mean the Toshiba splash screen that appears at the begging of the boot?

    Equium M40X successfully passed this screen?

    If the laptop is unable to switch to the home Toshiba screen then I presume that the BIOS has detected a hardware problem.
    In this case primarily the motherboard fails

    But if the laptop is able to spend the Toshiba start screen, the motherboard must be ok and only a 3rd device malfunction as HARD drive could cause this problem.

  • Error when you try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

    Windows XP SP3 problem

    Recently, I met a problem with my PC and was forced to use the system recovery. Now I'm back to factory settings and try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 on my computer. Windows Update won't work for me, that whenever I try to update I get [error number: 0x8024400A]. I think it's because I use Service Pack 2, or that's what I concluded after researching the problem, anyway.

    This is not my real concern, however. Because I could not get the update automatically, I tried to download and install the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers" myself. The first time I did it, I restarted the PC after the installation and was met with "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "  I went into safe mode and went to a just system restore point before SP3 was installed, but now I don't know how to install it correctly without encountering this problem after reboot. I'm hardly the easy just stick with SP2 when there are potentially important available updates. How can I get Windows Service Pack 3 is installed on my PC?

    It's certainly interesting!

    If the cause of your problem is to have a HP PC with an AMD processor and an original image on your hard drive (and of course it sounds like this is the case), the solution should be to rename the file intelppm.sys and launch the sp37394.exe patch. Once done, the SP3 file that you downloaded from here:
    SHOULD work!
    I'm puzzled why there is no intelppm.sys file in your directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers.
    Since you recently returned to square one with your PC ("return to factory settings"), then you may as well run the patch from this page:
    and try the SP3 Setup file again.
    But, first, let's be absolutely sure that we are both using the same terminology. Please answer the following questions:
    1. have you safely backed up ALL your data?
    2. what method did you use to ride "back to factory settings? I think that your choices have been a destructive restore (full) and a (partial) non-destructive recovery. The first erases the disk and leave you with a pristine image and NOTHING ELSE (which means that all of your programs and data get deleted). The other (which does not always correctly) is supposed to leave programs and data intact.

    Hello

    · What is the number and the model of the computer?

    · Do you remember all the recent changes on the computer before the show?

    · What is the service pack installed on the computer?

    · What options have tried advanced startup options?

    Remove all external devices such as printers and scanners connected to the computer and then try to start.

    As you mentioned you don't have a CD/DVD drive on the computer and you are not able to boot in any mode, there are only two options:

    a. you will need to connect external CD/DVD drive to the computer for further troubleshooting.

    b. you must contact the manufacturer of the computer.
