• Satellite A110 - 180 PSABOE - Bios update failure

  Hello.

  I've updated the bios with an update from the center of toshiba, but the process is unresponsive and I had to restart the computer. The result is the laptop does not start because I think I lost the bios of programming. I test this http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Technology/Satellite-A215-S4747-Bios-update-failure/m-p method but the laptop will beep 3 times every 2 seconds without stopping and with black screen only. The CD-ROM unit tries to start but that's all.

  If anyone knows a separate solution that replace the motherboard, please tell me to probe it.

  Thanks for your help.

  This isn't for Vista - after each update, Volume Shadow Copy service backup only the updated files. With Vista, is a differential backup, rather than a full backup and uninstalling files in Windows XP.  This safeguard mechanism is used to save disk space.

  I was wondering if it is OK to remove your old updates as long as you keep your update?  Ex: microsoft visual C++, Advisor to hp total care.

  Thank you

  Young-One,
  Windows updates it is not recommended that you delete the old updates.  It is possible that there are updates that interact with the older.  As for the HP advisor is an OEM program so you would need to check with HP on the feature of this. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Update failure KB263371 (error code 800700008)

  original title: update failure KB263371

  MS Security Update for Windows XP KB263371 error Code: 0 x 80070008 - continues to fail and try to update. Free of virus. No new software.

  No new anivirus (AVG, Spybot) - I ran Windows Defender, MS doesn't Fix It. So far, nothing worked.

  I see other forums, it is not unique, but so far have not seen a solution. Appers have started 12/13

  Additional - I had to do an XP repair and updating on 11/13.

  So what's the ONLY update that won't install successfully?

  @jstut only! =>

  Two possibilities:

  1. do not uninstall IE8 or IE7 before doing the repair facility has left Windows in a "confused" State or "broken".

  2. you see the effects of a long-standing infection hijackware, very probably aggravated by a rootkit W32/Alureon-Variant.

  Repost...

  Your ONLY recourse now is to format the hard disk and then perform a new installation of Windows.
