Portege R700 with Windows 7 64-bit: Windows Explorer fails to update
It happens regularly after using my laptop for a while (1 hour more?) that Windows Explorer is no longer refreshes one of its windows. EG., delete a file and it is always displayed and disappears only after pressing the refresh (F5) button.
Anyone who has had this experience, knows the problem, may suggest a solution (with the exception of maintenance by pressing F5 and possibly restart in frustration, which helps during some time)?
It's very strange. I tested it on my Win7 64 bit-Satellite P500. I ve open two windows explore with in the same place, so I got the same content in both entities. When I delete a file or folder in the left window the right showed immediately that certain document has disappeared.
I m really surprised that describes the problem may occur.
Are you using the original OS that you got with your laptop?

Problem with Windows Explorer and the recorded files
When I save files from the internet and then open the folder with Windows Explorer in the backed up files, I find that WE consider not save them on my hard drive "change" more. I know it's strange, but I tend to retain files roughly in the order that I saved them, rather than by the name of the file or anything else. So now to manually change the files in a certain way, then save them to get them organized as I want. Of course, this can become very painful and long if I have a lot of files to organize this way. My question is: How can I get Windows to consider saving a file on my HDD as change? I use Firefox and updated recently, which may be the cause of the problem.
Hi Flingle,
Were you able to save and access files correctly before you update Firefox?
You can create a new folder & try to download the file inside of Internet Explorer & check if the problem persists.
Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

A type of file has lost its association to open with Windows Explorer
On my machine the XP Acronis True Image Archive of backup .tib file type opens with Windows Explorer and I see in the details of the files in the backup.
On my machine the association used to be with Windows Explorer Vista, but recently the association has changed. I can't figure out how to restore it.
When it is correctly associated, I can read files in Windows Explorer, but no more.
When I right click on the file and select Properties, it gives me the ability to change opens with Adobe Reader, Internet Explorer, iTunes, Media Center, Notepad, paint, PowerDVD, RealPlayer, Windows Calendar, Windows Media Player, Windows Photo Gallery, Word Pad or browse...

I have a WD NAS, who has worked through my Explorer windows until recently - now I can access only through Internet Explorer 8 using FTP.
I use to be able to open the windows Explorer and able to 'network' and click on the NAS and enter my name/password and access all folders and files to the breast. Now I go into windows Explorer and I can see the NAS and I can click on it and enter my name and password, and it shows even the top-level folders-
I can't do any further due to the standard contextual windows alert, and the message goes between the "network name is not available" and the message "already mapped the drive. I have not noticed a model and did not install anything at the same time. Don't try to do wireless, the NAS is ethernet wired to my router and my router to my computer - no router updates/changes - no updates/changes NAS - no I do not have the mapped drives sitting over there, yes I'm admin on the computer and the NAS server - there is no noticeble change I can find - not firewall , no anitvirus, no microsoft updates - anything good for troubleshooting?
Anyone has an idea why only windows Explorer fails now to be able to access the NAS, esp when FTP with internet explore works fine? Thank you!

Portege R700 - upgrade Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit and memory question
I recently bought Portge R700 and am disappointed by the memory. I have a license of Windows 7 64-bit edition: what problems can arise if I update? Once installed, I can then use 8 MB of RAM.
Moreover, I found the reagrding misleading Web site the option of using the 8 MB of RAM with the32-bit OS. I have 4Mb installed, years to see that only 2.86 MB is usable.
I get "out of memory" messages and would like to know how to allocate more memory to live for video.
Tom's right. If you want to use the 64-bit operating system, you must do clean install operating system. All drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one.
If you need assistance with installing Win7 let us know.I put t know for what purposes do you use your laptop and what applications are important for your daily work, but, in general, I don t think you will have problems using 64 bit OS. Please keep in mind that all additional software is 64-bit capable and everything will be OK.
As far as I know laptop user doesn't have the influence of the use of video memory and it runs automatically. It is unclear to me that you can change these settings and set how much RAM can be used for video operations.
Anyway, Portege R700 is nice for laptop with sufficient power for daily use and also for use with standard applications. I don t think you ve bought this laptop for games.

Portege R700 - install Windows 7 via Windows Deployment Services - error
Hello
I have a set of 8 Portege R700 PT310-E computer laptop on which I need to install Windows 7 Professional. I want to do this by using our company Windows deployment server (using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010 to generate the image). While it is loading all software, our company uses.
I have been using the version 32 bit Windows 7 and do a PXE boot from the server. The problem I encountered is that when the laptop starts the installation of the server image. It loads successfully, but does not because it can't find the network device.
What I find strange that I loaded all R700 network drivers in the boot.wim file. I also tried to download all Windows 7 Pro LAN drivers remaining on the Intel site and load those as well as the pilot on the Toshiba site, but it has also generated the same error.
Someone at - it experience to install via WDS on the R700 model? Is there a fix for this, because we are very impressed by these laptops, but being only unable to install via WDS is more annoying.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Dominic :-)
