  • magicJack works only with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    magicJack will not run in Windows 7 Home Premium.  After TEN conversations with their Tech Support, they got it to work, but I have to manually install the program whenever I restart my computer.  Please Microsoft, catch these people to magicJack with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Yet once again, I could never the magicJack to install completely.  I tried on the computer of a friend with XP and it worked fine.  So, the problem is with the new Windows 7 Home Premium, and magicJack is taking their old time good to get on the same page.

    I tried the convenience store and choose XP SP2, which must have worked, but Win 7 was told that it was not compatible.

    Anyone with similar problems?  magicJack support is pretty bad.  You get what you pay for, AT & T.

    Actually, it is not Microsoft's work to ensure that third party vendors are "at speed".  They should do their research.  Windows 7 is available for some time now and there was enough time for the developers of the magicjack to have obtained a copy and correct their problems.  Your beef is entirely with the developers of magicjack.

  • Windows 8 CD - Key works only with windows 7.

    Hello

    I had my old computer, windows 7 Home premium installed by default. However, on the launch of windows 8, I paid for the upgrade to windows 8. I have recently bought a new computer, uninstall windows of my old computer (I formatted). And then install windows 7 pro (I watched the downgrade right and that was supposed to work). However, when I try to use my license of windows 8, it says that my windows key 7 is incorrect. Why is - it does not, I do not envy pay for a product that I already paid for.

    Thanks for your help,

    Thanks for the quick response!

    I am a little disappointed by that. It seems that there is practically no way to get windows 7 back. In this case, I could install windows 8.1 from an ISO and use my windows 8.1 CD - key to activate it right? Do you know where I can get an ISO appropriate to do the installation?

    Thank you

    You can use the Windows 8.1 Upgrade Wizard to download the installation files and create a. ISO for which you can use your retail key.

  • Satellite A200 - 28 p Bluetooth works only with ConfigFree

    Hello

    I had my Satelltie A200 - 28 p for a few weeks now to nine.
    Just tried to use Bluetooth and when trying to turn on the bluetooth with ConfigFree it says that the device would not pass and gives me 3 options which may be the cause of this.

    Anyone who has experienced similar problems or know how to fix this problem?
    I'll post the details of the error it gives.

    'The following may be responsible for the failure,

    Wireless LAN Utility is active (Please close the utility)
    Network Properties window is open (Please close the window)
    The Internet options window is open (Please close the options window)

    In cases where there is always a problem, please close all other applications and then run ConfigFree. »

    Any help appreciated, thanks.

    Hello

    I wonder why you try to use the BT with ConfigFree?
    What do you expect from ConfigFree software?

    The ConfigFree is a diagnostic tool can be used with WLan technology.
    It offers these features:

    -Cordless radar that displays nearby access points Wi - Fi active
    -doctor of connectivity that analyzes your network connection and help them solve the problem
    -profile settings that can be easily used to make network configuration

    As you can see that it can be used to display the available WLan and analyze some WLan issues.

    If you want to use BT I advise to use the BT's own software and settings!

  • Satellite P10-804 - recover to out of box (Windows XP Home Edition)

    Hi friends, this computer has been pre-installed with Windows XP Home Edition. Several years ago, I installed Windows XP Professional. Well I just did a complete installation, return to the publishing house.

    One of the first things I download WinZip, as I would expect a lot of updates, installation of WinZip has failed because he said some parts of missing words or not compatible Windows for this purpose. I have all the original disks, but don't know what to update first, although I am trying to install Service Pack 2, no idea what to do?

    Thank you, colin

    PS: I did it because it was very slow, could take 15 minutes before I could use it and now it takes 45 seconds to load.

    Hey,.

    To be honest, it's a bit confusing

    If you want to restore your laptop to factory settings you must boot from the Toshiba recovery disc. It is a boot disk and you have to follow the instructions on the screen to restore the factory settings.

    Toshiba Recovery disk erase the whole HARD drive and then unpacking settings will be restored with all the drivers and tools for your laptop is ready for use after the Toshiba recovery disc.

    It works for you?

  • Satellite A200-PSAE6E - FN key not working not not on Vista 32-bit

    Hi all

    I can't get the FN button to work, no matter how many times I reinstall the software of Toshiba, it doesn't seem to work!

    Anyone got a workaround?

    I use 2.40 BIOS and Vista 32 bit

    Hello

    By using the Vista operating system on laptop Satellite A200, the FN keys are controlled by Vista Flashcard Utility.
    This tool is a part of the added value Vista package and therefore this package needs to be reinstalled on your system!

    But before you start with the installation of VAP, the VAP installed older must be removed first.

  • SENTINEL HASP KEYS 3.25 WORKS ONLY WITH WINDOWS 7

    I lived several of these posts here about the hasp and windows keys 7 and I tried many suggested fixes, but nothing works. I installed the software using Windows XP Mode in Virtual PC, I've updated, uninstalled drivers, reinstalled with and without the hasp key inserted. I use the Sigmanest V4, Mastercam9, and Mastercam10 software. All three of these programs worked fine with Windows XP service Pack 3. I did everything that I mentioned above and some of which you try to run the software in compatibility mode. Nothing I try works, Sigmanest software seems like it is recognizing the hasp key because it will be open, but it will not open in demo mode. The two programs Mastercam do not even recognize the hasp key. They open up and say that there is no present hasp key, then close. After years that Windows 7 has been out someone got a solution for this. Maybe they have, but I can't?

    Hello Chad,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    According to the description of your problem, it seems that you are trying to install the drivers for the Sentinel 3.25 HASP key. I checked the official site, it shows drivers for Windows, but did not mention the version of Windows.

    Here is the link: http://sentinelcustomer.safenet-inc.com/sentineldownloads/?s=&c=End+User&p=HASP+HL&o=Windows&t=Runtime+%26+Device+Driver&l=all#.

    I also checked this device and software Center of Microsoft Compatibility, and I couldn't find any information out there in that regard. So I suggest you to contact technical support SENITEL for troubleshooting further because they are the best people who can say that this device is compatible with Windows 7 or not.

    Hope this information is useful. Do get back to us after contacting them and please update your question on the forum.

    Thank you.

  • DeskJet 722C works only with Windows 7

    OK, so I applied the DJ_Patch as described. (See http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-and/Deskjet-710-720-810-820-100-Series-prin... ) I have Windows 7, 64-bit and a HP Deskjet 722 C printer.  Tried to print the test page, but received the error from the printer.  Tried to add a printer, you are looking for the 722C, but it is not on the list, even tried to do Windows Update to search for my printer.   Tried to restart, which did not work or the other.  Still get error printer.  I appreciate any other suggestions.  BTW, the printer is connected via a USB to parallel port cable.

    My HP Deskjet 722C now works!  I spent several hours trying different things only to find out it was the cable use to connect the printer to our new computer.  He is there not a lot of info on the package of cable but if you watched closely he said it worked only with Win XP, me and Vista.  Who would have thought that the cable wasn't working with some BONE... me!  Once we went and bought a new cable ($40, Ouch!), we were running a few minutes.  I don't know that a cheaper cable is available online.

    I wanted to post this in the hope of saving someone money, time and frustration on the other.

  • Flash CS4 works only with Windows 7 64-bit and Kaspersky Internet Security

    I have a new computer to core i5 Windows 7 64 bit retail. With Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 installed Flash CS4 answers so that it is completely unusable. Uninstall KIS and it works quite well. I already read on another forum that someone of another encounter the same problem with the same combination of products. Does anyone else have this problem amd If Yes, how do you solve? I posted on the forum of Kaspersky without solution so far.

    Your chance.  After a week of research I found someone who has thought about it.  Apparently his self-defense of Kaspersky which is causing the problem.  Under options disable control external sevice disable.  For me, that did the trick.  If it does not for you also try to disable self-defense under both options.  Once I did it was moving smooth again.

  • X satellite L40-12: need of Modem driver for Windows XP Home edition

    I need downgrading to Windows XP Home edition to my new Satellite L40 - 12 X. For now, Toshiba does not provide driver Windows XP Home edition for my laptop, exept for Atheros Wi - Fi.

    So I found the drivers for each device directly from the only supplier site except for the modem of Toshiba. Vista driver does not work and the list of devices in its .inf file tells that the chipset is Agere.

    On the site of agere, I have not found what I need... anyone can help me?
    Thank you

    Massimo

    I had the same problem on my L40 - 13G. Before installing drivers, you must download and install patch KB888111 and KB835221 for Windows XP. And try to install the XP of satellite L30 drivers (if you have modem with toshiba chipset) or L100 (if you have chipset connexant).
    P.S. sorry but my English is not good - but I hope you understand me :-)
