Portege M700 - how to remove Boatware

What is the best way to remove the bloatware of my laptop. I heard that the best way is to reformat the HD.
Any suggestions?

You hear what bloatware?
Preinstalled applications and programs are needed to use all the features of the laptop.

Of course, you can delete the preinstalled programs, tools or utilities, but then different options like FN, Toshiba, etc. control keys keys does not work!

By the way; You can remove installed programs in Control Panel-> software (Add & Remove Programs)

  • Portege M400 - how to remove the condensation of water?

    I received a second hand toshiba portege m400 mail and saw there probably a condensation of water trapped between the external display and touch screen behind her. because the screen in the upper left corner looks whitish. and the sender of the laptop said he wasn't there when he sent it. I have a picture of trapped moisture, for those who want to see it.

    so, I opened the screen by unscrewing. and I saw that most of the moisture is stuck between the external screen glas and one other layer behind him, which I guess, is the part of the touch screen. who looks inaccessible. These 2? the layers form the upperpart of the screen.

    the lcdscreen with all the electronics in this layer, form the lower part of the screen or if you want, cover. This part is now oke. He also had a condensation of water on it and I was able to gently wipe the little moisture of the lcdscreen without problem. This helped a bit with this problem.

    but moisture remains trapped between the part of the touchscreen layer and this layer of glass in the upperpart of the screen/cover.

    hoping to evaporate the moisture, I left the enlightened a bit more open for a day, I broke even the upperpart and the lowerpart of the screen. I applied a little of an infrared lamp, a remote backup heat. anything that did not help.

    * so, how can I remove the condensation of water? *

    * is there a way to remove a layer in the upperpart of the screen to reach the humidity? *

    Hello olekike

    Please don t get me wrong, but I'm afraid, you need professional with this Mr. help as I see that your question is not answered for days now, and I think that nobody here has a lot of experience with this stuff.
    View replacement OK but how to remove the condensation of water on the touchscreen is perhaps too heavy for us.

    I recommend strongly to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. talking with the guys what we can do about it.

  • Portege M400 - how to remove the Protector Suite fingerprint data

    Hi all

    (1) Protector Suite 5.4 sometimes generated a crash of Windows XP on my Portege M400.

    (2) I followed the suggestion of WinXP and upgraded to version 5.8. Unfortunately, this way I lost the automatic access features to Web sites protected by (the online help 5.8 says that this module is optional, but I have not found how to install it).

    (3) so I uninstalled the 5.8 and put again on the 5.4.

    (4) in the event of a disaster.

    (5) it is clear that the fingerprint data, updated to 5.8 format, are still somewhere in the system. Uninstalling Protector Suite's not destroy them. For this reason the 5.4 original does not do something, because in its user opinion data are corrupted. First of all, I can't remove/change data user from inside the program.

    So, please, let me know where these data of fingerprints damned are so I'll be able to remove and Protector Suite from scratch.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I think there must be a folder or files storing fingerprints
    But I m not sure where it is placed

    However, as far as I know, you can use ONLY PS to enrol fingerprints.
    Have a look here:
    http://img22.imageshack.us/i/protectorsuite.gif/

    There is an option that can cancel the stored fingerprints.

    If uninstalling the software didn't help then use and clean the BONES and using a tool, for example, the registry CCLeaner.
    It deletes all files and data on the HARD drive (in the registry) which have not been removed by Windows.

  • Need step by step instruction how to recover the Portege M700

    Hello

    I have a Portege M700, aged around 4 years I want to start a new one with.
    I've restored with power on and the 0 key to get to the factory, but now I guess I have to update all the drivers and get all updates Windows Update?

    I do?
    If so, how do I?

    If someone could help me and give me instructions step by step on the place where from there it would be most appreciated.

    Other advice on what I need to to get it working at optimum would be really useful too.

    Thank you very much.

    You have two options to reset the computer laptop back to factory settings:

    (1) you must use the recovery disk that you can create using the Toshiba recovery media creator software. This software is always pre-installed on a Toshiba laptop.

    (2) the second option is HARD drive recovery. How to use it? See this FAQ:

  • How to put a Portege M700 to full 4 GB of RAM?

    Hello

    I bought a Portege M700 with 1 GB pre-installed RAM and two modules of 2 GB RAM. I could install one of them in the empty slot on the back, but I can't find the second slot (where is the 1 GB pre-installed). Where is he?

    Kind regards
    Phil

    Hello

    I presume that the Portege M700 supports two memory locations, but one slot is user scalable.

    A slot of memory is placed at the bottom of the unit and the other should be found under the keyboard.

    But as I said above that one slot is extensible user and the second location of memory should be upgraded by a technician for laptop.

    I think that you risk losing the warranty if you would remove the keyboard in your own hand.

    That is why don t the risk guarantee and ask the technician to the ASP for the upgrade of memory.

    Best regards

  • How to connect Portege M700 to TV using the VGA port?

    I bought a VGA S-video/audio adapter and connected my VGA port and the TV.
    Nothing happened.

    In the control panel... no other display/external display was detected.
    Validations only that I ran using an emulator port or something.
    I have the Portege M700 preinstalled with Vista Business lozenges.

    Any ideas would be welcome.
    Thank you

    Hello!

    I have a Portege M700 too and there is no S-video port.

    If you want to switch between the following views the use of FN + F5 as Feliks said. I use the Portege M700 with an external monitor via a VGA cable and it works perfectly.

  • How to remove the disk HARD passwordon Portege R500?

    Hello

    do you know how to remove the HARD drive password? I know the current password, but if I try to remove it by changing your current password to a blank password, it does not work.
    It has password always news.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I hope that you use the correct and just HARD drive password because it of necessary to remove and delete the existing HARD disk password.
    If you have forgot the password for HARD drive then the HARD drive should be locked and you would not be able to unlock the HARD drive!

    Generally, the HARD drive password can be deleted in the BIOS.
    Please ensure that another password would be removed too.

    I found a forum thread useful on a password disk HARD similar question:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=66386𐍒

    According to the information published by the user jonr17 you must first make sure that all other like BIOS passwords, user and supervisor passwords are removed.
    Then try to remove the HDD from the BIOS password.
