New PC Toshiba laptop, Windows 8 is broken

I just bought a laptop Toshiba p70 brilliant, pre-loaded with windows 8. Ive tried to get my bearings as im much more familiar with XP, but im having a problem serious.

Windows Update does not work. (I tried the application of the resolution of the problems, it just gets stuck start bits service after her stop them)

Windows store does not work. I discovered this when I read that the application Microsoft Fix - It has been recommended to solve the above problem. He told me that the application was not made for my version of windows, so I tried to go to 8.1 and I can't.

Windows Firewall does not illuminate. It's just the habit. I click Activate, and he sits there and doesn't do a thing.

IM handcuffs here. The solution is a new problem. I can't update, I can't upgrade. I can't solve the problem because theres more problems. The laptop has 16 GB of ram, i7 processor, im not working do not with a dog here, and microsoft has just completely dropped the ball.

I'd also like to mention is my Toshiba Service Station will not be updated. I have Internet connectivity, Firefox and IE works, but what's new more I explore the more white screens stuck loading I receive. That's why I tried to update. Ad nauseam.

My last laptop was a l300 preloaded with Vista. And I worked around it for all of 2 weeks before the headaches became so crazy I have she dumped for XP. But this laptop was underpowered, under Vista and had much more flexibility with XP.

ID rather not have to drive all the way back to Future Shop to the difficulty a lot of questions that have nothing to do with them. Ive google of these problems, but I don't know where to start. I tried stop bits in the command prompt and it used to do. Besides, why should I pay for software that needs to be painstakingly repaired? Instead of spending hours searching, I say drop a line here could raise some results while I move on to sift through thousands of threads on this site among other people trying to get a functional operating system operational. Any ideas?

I owe you guys an apology. I solved the problem last night. While exploring the center of the action, I noticed that the firewall was turned off and I could not activate it. I opened the windows firewall settings and found the problem. Norton internet security operated instead of the firewall. It came preloaded on the phone, but I had never him has allowed or enabled services, but it is running. Have a deep hatred seed its garbage software and symantec, I removed all traces of it from the computer. Alto, EACH issue is resolved.

So is this Toshiba who charge this extra software on the operating system? Because he does not play well with windows. Once again I apologize for being quick to blame microsoft, my vista experience is to blame.

If support engineers, you first recommendation for software questions should be remove any Symantec software before troubleshooting. Maybe add it to the windows defender malware definition files as it might as well be a virus itself.

Thank you.

  • Click on the touchpad of my toshiba laptop windows 7 does not work.

    I'm managing with the two keys supplied click click of my touchpad suddenly stopped working... But not the touchpad click.
    I don't know why? It's never happened before... I have windows 7 on my laptop Toshiba L505-S5990. Please help me in this

    First, go to control panel, mouse and check the settings.  Experience if you wish because it does no harm.

    If the settings are correct, but the computer does not correctly, go to configuration panel, devices Manager and look at mose settings here.  Maybe there was an update driver - try to roll back driver or search for a better driver.

    Look for the manufacturer of your site support & forums to see if new drivers are available, or if someone else has solved the problem already.

    If none of this works, close this post & open a new one with a list of all the controls, you did & what were the results.

  • Problem with new PC Toshiba laptop

    I don't have good experience with Toshiba as a great brand.

    I brought a new laptop of dicksmith elizabeth her (SR4192426). At the time of the sale, the saleman said if you have a problem with the machine to come back and we can repair or replace. This is the Australian rule if you have a problem with in month thn, it should be replaced rather than fixing. I have problem starting with the product within one month, I approach of dicksmith three times, but they gave me a lollipop. I am very disappointed by the service of dicksmith. I am very disappointed by the service of Toshiba. I sent to iseekcomputing and call back from their $65 would be paid by the customer to solve this problem, if the same problem is coming soon in the future that agaim pay $65 to fix.

    I have the Toshiba team ring that they reset as factory defauld but the problem. In the end, I want to replace my laptop because I am not happy with that. I've used nothing, much work is underway and my laptop is still iseekcomputing since Monday.

  • At the start of my Toshiba laptop Windows 7, my password is correct, no doubt, but the system says that it is not. Why?

    From my computer, my password is not correct no doubts, but the system said that it is not, ran maleware advast and no problem. Would it be a glich in the updates? Is this a battery problem? When it is plugged in, it works after the 5 or greater.

    See the guide to recovering lost password Windows 7 Home Premium account user, can't connect, connection problem

    Him begins the article with some basic steps you can take and then work upwards through more complicated methods where the easiest do not solve the problem. Please read the intro, but this looks like a corrupted user profile that needs fixing or replacement.

    Follow the precautionary measures later in the thread as well.

  • How can I uninstall PC games Toshiba laptop Windows 8 OS?

    At the age of 73, I have absolutely no interest in the applications of games that have been installed on my laptop. I tried to uninstall, right click on each application, clicking the option to uninstall at the bottom of the page. Which brings me to the page of the Control Panel, but not lists not gaming applications in Control Panel files, nor it accentuates what Microsoft in Control Panel file which contains games. For this purpose there is no mention as to what file to uninstall. Has anyone successfully uninstalled apps "games"? If this isn't the case, Microsoft, you could do us a real favor by issuing an update that would solve the problem for those who want to uninstall the games feature. Thanks in advance for any helpful information. Jim

    You can try the following open file Explorer, my computer, check the two programs, programs (86 for the games you want to uninstall, once found open, open each games separately, and click on uninstall.) This should take care of your problem. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  • I have a Toshiba laptop, windows 7, AMD A6. The pointing device and the side buttons suddenly do not work. Why? only the work of external mouse

    The score pad has not worked in about 3 days.  I can't understand why.  In addition, the screen reader has failed and immediately recovered several times over the 2 weeks (no doubt as a result of too many labels have Explorer open simultaneously?).

    This is not disabled it. FN + F9?

    If this is not the case and the driver installed successfully, its probaby a service/repair
