My laptop is * USELESS *.

Then, I had originally Windows Vista on my laptop that comes with it. Some time ago I have upgraded to Windows 7... I used a MSDN key, now I can't use this key, it turned out to be non-genuine, I decided to use Rescue and Recovery to restore my system settings after you have backed up all my files.

Rescue and recovery was told that he didn't, so I restarted and I got "Cannot find the operating system" or something in that sense. Now, I rebooted again and tried to install via the Windows Vista installation disc in the hope to use my product key that came with the computer... I up the laptop to see the product key that I know that this can damage it, to remedy this I just skipped it, I chose the drive and it says "Windows cannot find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation."

So I rebooted, and I can't do anything with my laptop now I have a lot of pressure to get it repaired, because my father is bugging me to fix it, it's not even his laptop and he wants me to fix. So I was wondering if anyone here can help me with my problem?

Problem solved, seemed Windows 7 can use the partition when I re-installed using the boot from the CD.

It was a bit too seeing as Lenovos own program could it restore not even to the factory settings. Sorry, but I won't buy a Lenovo computer or laptop again after this.

  • Laptop Toshiba, yellow light malfunction

    I have a very strange problem with my Toshiba laptop. Most of the time my laptop power adapter is connected to the socket on the wall and his PIN is inserted into the Jack of the laptop. In case of power off of the switch of the socket on the wall then back to turn on laptop will not start, throwing a light yellow as charge, in this case I have to pull the pin plug adapter from the laptop and then insert it back and he begin to show.
    But it is interesting if the yellow light is not displayed then, she sees sometimes completely and sometimes she stays to the point where it was before (doesn't load but to power the system) I remove the plug and insert it at the time beginning, projecting a light yellow and charged.

    It's normal job a few days ago, until what I carefully cleaned the fins of the fan with the fan light. whenever I have would put the AC power switch he was running on battery power and as I turned it and then seeing yellow would begin to show and I don't have to play with the Jack and the PIN.

    Battery and adapter that both are very good and functional the way I said above. Full battery lasts about 2 hours at full capacity. Pulling and inserting on the pin of the computer laptop-jack adapter to ensure it is supported is a pain.
    Help, please...

    I guess I'm the only person who has bought a laptop toshiba useless, now it's time to throw this toshiba laptop... bye you all

  • Proxy for HP Envy 17 "laptop touch screen settings

    Today - 13/12/2015 @ 16:25 (Pacific) - laptop bought 14/12/2014 @ Costco

    10 months - issue began

    2015-01-27 - 09:00 - 10:00

    After the installation of Citrix Receiver v4.1 (by my employer), I noticed a Trojan virus was detected by McAfee and quarantined.

    Then, I had problems connecting to Citrix with the new responsible application.

    Then I noticed that I couldn't access the Gmail e-mail

    Then I noticed that I couldn't reach MSN.com or other websites - possibly firewall blocking access - maybe after Trojan has been discovered

    Was responsible for checking the Proxy settings under the spell of settings PC settings > network > Proxy and I noticed a duplicate entry.  (Win 8.1)

    I removed the redundant entry and click SAVE.

    http is 127.0.0.1:49239;. http = 127.0.0.1; 49239

    Don't know what to do next.  Icons and shortcuts seem to lock up and nothing doing on occasion, and I can't access the internet.

    I renewed my McAfee LiveSafe - since Internet Securty, performed a full scan with no problems reported. However, I get a notice that McAfee wants to quarantine some Soft Adware that wants to run.

    I applied all the patches from HP recommended for my laptop computer and rebooted several times.

    After a few fixes, none of my windows would work, but I could click on it.  Now, after a few updates, I can click on my windows again and applications appear to run.

    I need to access the internet or this laptop is useless for me!

    How to reset my laptop to factor settings or fix this proxy?

    Is possible with HP remote support?

    Costco extended my warranty of 2 years.

    I have a case of office help Costo Concierge #, but they sent me on to www.support.hp.com (800) 474-6836.  So far, I'm just going around in circles and do not receive a lot of useful support.  I hope that this Forum will help going me in the right direction.

    Thank you!

    TAD0JAZZ

    It is a solution very full; However, I have chosen to reset to the factory settings and set to level to a Windows 10 in the process. Who decided most all my problems.

    My next challenge is to get the Beats Audio drivers updated. I have very little control volume with the audio driver by default that it installed when I upgraded.

    I accept your solution.

    Thank you!

    Hi all!  I really hope that someone can help me because I'm ready to pull my hair!  I have a new HP Envy laptop and when I created a new user through the control panel account, I've never set up a password.  However, my computer locked last night after I closed the lid and when I went to get back on, it's invited me for a password!  I have never set one up, so why would he ask me for one?  It has Windows 8 and I don't see an option for users, etc. - probably because there is only one user put in place.  How can I work around this?  My laptop is useless at this point.  Someone please help...  Thank you!

  • Satellite L300 - need to Win Vista product key

    I have a Satellite L300. OS recently broke down and recovery CD does not work.
    I got another CD of instalation windows vista but windows at the back of the laptop dispelled the label, and I can't read the code.

    I can provide the invoice product or information of the laptop required for security reasons.

    How can I return the product key?

    Thank you

    Product key placed in the lower corner of your laptop is useless for you. Why?
    This product key is for the original version of recovery that you have with your machine and cannot be used for activation if you install Windows by using the original Microsoft facilities.

    Hello

    At first, I must say that on this forum you will find many threads having the same content and also with good reviews how to increase the performance of s for laptop.
    What you need is the optimization of the OS.

    Laptop with factory preinstalled OS with of many Toshiba tols individuals, utility and also different additional software. Many of them start with Windows and run in the background. It is logical that the computer's performance will be slowed down.

    Each notebook with factory settings also allowed installation of windows update. With other words, it is set to automatic. It is logical that after short time of period notebook, will start all of the updates in the background. You will know what is going on, but because of download and update for computer laptop installation reacts very slowly.

    As a general rule it is no problem at all and I don t know why you sent your laptop to the service.
    Anyway check it please http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
    You will find an interesting thread on slow start. It's the old model of laptop, but the principle remains the same.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • My software suddenly ceased to be authentic

    Have been using vista installed since purchase fall 2009. All of a sudden my Tosh satellite has decided that this is not a genuine version. Have the reset button nothing works.
    Provided but true as touch the satellite won't access to vista. The laptop is useless!

    Does anyone have any ideas what to do?

    If you use original recovery Toshiba (Vista preloaded) image something like that shouldn't happen. You can use this recovery image if often as you want, but it will always be activated version.
    With your laptop, you have also paid a valid license for Vista preinstalled.

    What should do?
    Use the recovery DVD and reinstall Vista.

  • Satellite C650 - 1 CT - sound recording and voice chat question

    I recently bought this laptop and am very satisfied with the performance outside an aspect. I use my computer to save my voice and put it on a CD (quizzes etc.) and also to discuss with people.

    The playback quality is terrible, it sounds as if I am under water and it keeps on popping and the volume varies tremendously. It is also the same for the people I'm chatting, they hardly understand what I'm saying.

    The sound card is faulty or is there something I can do to solve this problem, because if I'm not able to get a decent voice recording, the laptop is useless for me.

    Hi JennyDiver,

    I n t have Satellite C650 so I can t test it for you but you have ever tried to update the audio driver? You can download the latest version of Toshiba's official website:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Before you install the latest driver, first remove the old version and restart the computer. Then use CCleaner to remove old audio driver registry keys and restart the computer. Now you can install the latest version of the sound driver.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are using Windows 7 preinstalled Toshiba or if you did your own installation of Windows.

    As already written, I m not owner of such a laptop but maybe a BIOS update would also be useful. It s worth a try! ;)

  • Connected HP App for IOS not taken in charge?

    Just bought a new HP laptop with the intention of using the drive connected through my devices.  I'm on Windows 8.1 and 8.3 of IOS on Iphone and Ipad.  I installed the applications on my devices Apple only to open them to read that the app is not supported in this country.  I'm in the United States, in Puerto Rico.  I called and chatted with HP Support, given the wrong number for Apple and now asked to come here to find help.  Seems that no one at HP is even ready to see if the PR is a country supported and do not have a phone number for their own developers.

    The use of Connected is impossible in PR?  How can it be if it apparently works in the country more "foreign" than a Commonwealth of the United States?  If I can't use the connectivity for me, the laptop is useless.  Any suggestions on how to get devices connected to the HP drive connected?  (I have uninstalled and reinstalled the apps on IOS already, no dice.)

    I was directed to this link for more details:

  • Equium P200D - does not load

    I have an Equium P200D who did not pay correctly, I bought a new charger and it worked fine for a while. However I noticed that the laptop has not been held liable. Now the laptop does not load, and even with ac power plugged he won't shoot upward.

    I'm assuming that the battery exceeds the usefulness, but it should not start when plugged into the mains, with battery in or out? So can I assume that support on the laptop is useless?

    any help would be appreciated

    Hi blueknowz,

    > and even with ac power plugged he won't shoot upward.
    This means that the laptop doesn't start over even the AC/DC adapter is connected, right?

    Well, the computer should start even when the AC/DC adapter is connected but the battery is defective. If the battery is not important, you can use Notepad with AC/DC adapter only.

    If the computer laptop doesn t start it looks like a malfunction of the motherboard. It is maybe something wrong with the s load control.
    An accurate diagnosis can be made from an authorized service provider. Do guys say sabout this behavior?

  • Satellite A205-S500 - DVD failed

    Is it just me or is Toshiba Sat. A series of just junk. About 14 months ago I bought a 205-s5000. Could not load my Adobe software on it.
    Today, I tried to load a driver for my Linksys card, but guess what, the DVD has not been recognized.
    I get the error message that the driver file can be damaged (error code 39). Now I can't do anything with the DVD that I can not access the web site.
    The DVD does not work so I can not load the driver for the card.

    I can't use the startup disk to set the computer her State of origin. The laptop is useless. If anyone has an email address for someone at Toshiba, I would appreciate it.

    Sounds like filters of IO or the operating system is corrupted.

    My Windows became corrupt as well the other day - that's how Windows is. The more you use and the programs/drivers you install, the greater possibility that something goes wrong turn or get corrupted. So I reinstall Windows once a year to keep it cool.

    Try this:

    Try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry.
    When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

    (1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
    2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

    This utility can remove the filters for you:

    If this is no good, then it may be time to reinstall Windows.
