• Satellite L505 - 14K - cannot read Windows key label CoA

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite L505 - 14K on which I need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, but Windows key on the label is unreadable. Could I get a replacement for it?

  Also I can not read the HARD drive Windows code because it has been formatted before that I get this laptop in my hands...
  Maybe I can get either a phone number or e-mail address to a branch of Toshiba Polish, so I could communicate with them in this case?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Toshiba doesn't provide the keys to series for windows systems. On the label, you'll find the serial OEM key but this key cannot be used for activation of the system.
  Toshiba offers a clean recovery image that already contains the active Windows System.

  This recovery disk can be ordered here:

• Portege 4000 - Installed - XP cannot read dvd

  I installed XP as a clean install on a 4000 Portege that previously had 98SE top.

  Now I am unable to play dvd in Windows Media Player and get a message that there need a MPEG-2 decoder, but Microsoft transfer me a site where I have to pay: [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx#DVDDecoder].

  Is there a way to get around this?

  The cd works well, and it doesn't seem to be a necessity for an acoustic muffler for now.

  Hello

  If you need a MPEG-2 decoder then I recommend you to install some codec packs.
  + K - Lite Mega Codec Pack + contains everything you need (and more) codecs.

  You should try it.

  PS: Why you don't use no matter what players left 3rd? For example the * VLC player * is free and it's a great player. He manages all possible files.

• Cannot read Windows 7 OEM sticker and need to retrieve my CD key.

  I stuck my sticker by my way of thinking of table that is the safest place to place, but it seems that someone scratched the sticker. Is it possible that I can get back my cd key. And my Windows is genuine as well. Help someone.

  Unfortunately, you will need to purchase a new license, if your OEM sticker is missing.

  If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7, you can use the reinstall Windows 7 without referencing the OEM product key:

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  ------------------------------------

  This is how the recovery partition is available for the most popular brands

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  -----------------------------

  If its an OEM System Builder License and you had entered the product key, you can retrieve it:

• Cannot load Windows 7 after installation of 2 critical updates (KB2436673 & KB2296199) - 0x800f0816 error Code

  At 03:00 today, my computer automatically up-to-date with 8 updated reviews.  The computer unused satellite, power, up to 15:00 when I got home, date on which windows was trying to 'fix', because windows could not be loaded.  I did a system restore to a point before the updates were installed (02:00).  Goodbye My observer of events and concluding that none of the updates have been installed correctly, I have taken note of the errors for each (most were 0x800f0816, but we've been 0 x 80242016) and went through each update individually and install.  Two of these updates will not be installed.  After the system restart after installing, windows attempts to load.  The system automatically restarts and begins to repair windows.  Windows repair indicates that the system cannot be repaired automatically.  I chose a restore point from before the 'bad' updates are installed, and everything is fine.

  I get the same error for the two KB2296199 of KB2436673 & failed installs: 0x800f0816.

  Is it possible to fix this?  Or I'm just not going to install it these updates?  It is a newly built computer (last week), all the new kit stripped of equipment, new OS.  I have very little installed on this system.  I found no information regarding this error code or the latest MS updates online, or if anyone else has similar problems.

  Any response would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  J.

  Of course, if you cannot start the computer, uninstall the updates would be moot & system restore (or 'last good' known) would be your only recourse.

• Missing USB. The Windows XP SP3 Installation INF file

  I had problems to install USB devices and after a long-term task and it narrowed the field down, I discovered why.

  I don't have USB. INF file in my Windows/Inf directory.

  Annoyingly, my setup is not an I386 directory, and my XP disks are stored in a box somewhere that I'm travelling right now.

  Anyone knows where I can get it online, or could send me a link or send me a copy?

  Thank you

  Try to get the smart-inf of your manufacturer of computers or the chip-maker (for example Intel)

  If you do not lnow what chip you have Intel has routine to check the chip chip-inf

  I have a similar problem, but still not resolved, apparently SP3 do not update or keep the inf files...

  Is there any special step before installing a Dual Boot with Ubuntu system?

• Portege R100 - question about the installation of the USB port and Windows problems

  Hello

  I just bought a used Portege R100, but I have some problems. Of course the laptop isn't a CD or DVD, player so I tried an external DVD drive, but it did not work. What kind of device I have to install Windows (not an edition of recovery or anything like that, but a whole new windows on the formatted HARD drive)?

  I also have another problem: whenever I plug a USB device (I tried the DVD drive external and a USB keyboard) when I start the laptop, it seems to hang. At least, I am not able to type anything more; the keyboard of the laptop is dead (the point where the entrance would still be flashing in the BACK platform, but typing. sth on the keyboard isn't doing anything). It is not normal, is it?

  I also tried to get to the BIOS, but I tried various commands (F1 to F12, DEL etc.), but I couldn't access the BIOS. It would be great if someone could tell me the command for it.

  Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the bad English, I'm not a native speaker :)

• USB 2.0 blue screens on Portege R100

  Hello
  I have a Portege R100, when you insert a USB 2.0 device it blue screens and you can t do something. But if you insert a USB 1.1 device, he is very well, I tried the upgrade to Windows XP sp2 and this t hasn't helped any ideas.

  Hello

  Try to remove the USB entries in Device Manager, and then restart the device. The ports should be recognized and installed correctly. In my view, it cannot happen without any reason. It will be interesting to know since when this problem started.
