Problem with Vista, a limited operation of the operating system to start
Ill try too keep it as simple as possible without forgetting all the necessary details. Several weeks ago, I started having issues, crashed the computer (maybe thought that I still had a virus...) and I was on my way to return things together. All functions were beginning to run because they were all back to normal, and it happened.
Just beginning to return to normal, as I said. One morning before work, I was doing the usual (check email, casual, no navigation, no new installs equipment or programs, etc.) and when I got back home I woke up the computer and all the usual icons on the bottom right toolbar disappeared except, load icon, network connects mcafee security and volume icon. There's a new lil guy there USB symbol with a green check mark (deletion of material safely)
I tried to open Internet Explorer and Itunes and I was invited with a window that read "what you want to KIKILA the file with" (itunes.exe, IE.exe and so on when I tried other programs), with oddly enough IE as the recommended option. I was curious to see what happened and tried to open 'the file', IE was opened and then I was invited with a window as if I have been download an attachment and almost nothing would happen after that. I turned off the computer and restarted and I had none of the usual routine... Reception centre, the weather bug... you get the idea.
On what I can do... I can open AOL in the start menu only, I can open the control panel and use most of these requests and I can access help and Support (and IE will open this application... how I got here) and a few other select from the start menu, but everything is a program is pretty much off limits from the start menu or desktop. As I said before that I did not install anything, no new downloads, hardware, etc. I thought that my computer could have done an automatic restart after windows downloaded an update.
What I tried. Because I thought that an update might be the only thing that could have been performed, I started there. I tried to go back to the conditions before a one update or approximately twice a week at a time and restart and try again. No luck there, I went to help and support and tried a few things here. I tried a full system restore and last known reboot and no luck there.
Now that I've almost exhausted my limits with my literacy of the inner workings of a computer, I come here. I could probably walk through a solution if possible, as long as I don't have serious technical help. Or I can turn this into a big frisbee and repeat if nessescary ignite, but id rather not spend money if I have to.
Thanks in advance.

Problem with Vista hit the Satellite X 200 - 20 s
Sometimes during typing on vista, it will stutter and freeze. The time is very short. Is this a problem with vista or the laptop. The T7300 Core 2 Duo 2 ghz processor.
Hello
I have a Satellite Pro S200 and the same problem was with my camera. It s is not a hardware problem, it s more a driver related issue No. So, the best thing you can do is update your bios and keep your drivers up-to-date. Just check the download Drivers Toshiba site and make sure you have the latest drivers installed.
I had resolved my stuttering (core2duo 2.33 Ghz, 2 GB RAM) by updating all drivers...
That's all
Good bye

Problems with Vista start after the update of Norton.
I had problems with start-up since Norton updated and re-printing my subscription a few days ago. Initially, the splash screen would freeze, I'll try to re-start, only to be refrozen. After several attempts, with different amounts of time in between, I tried to start a 'normal', but are also intended to "launch fix." Microsoft solution is to go back to "settings" before the new and improved Norton Security has been installed. "Norton isn't too happy with this solution, warning: your firewall is disabled, you are vulnerable to all viruses known to humanity" and Norton resets security and the volley continues. At some point, the screen may freeze, and I have to start all over again. Had my Vista Home premium SP1 and SP2 installed this past year, patches and I have had no problems since, so far. If anything is not easy? The pearls of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. The garbage man comes tomorrow, I'm tempted to put my computer out of the trash. Help. Please, I beg you.
Hello, Heather,
Boot safe mode with networking. Download the following tool and run a full scan to exclude the malware. If the system is infected, Norton will be compromised and would not be able to detect malware.

Reboot - still problems with startup? Uninstall Norton - use the uninstaller to remove all traces. Restart your system and reinstall the software.
Norton Removal Tool
Once you have completed and reinstalled Norton, test - you still having the problem? Try the link to clean boot troubleshooting below.
The best advice I can give you is not no use Norton products. Use Microsoft Security Essentials, which is freeware.

Compatibility problem with Vista and iTunes
I downloaded iTunes 9 on my Tobisha laptop Satellite last night and put about 2.5 GB of music on it. I didn't upload the music from the internet. I used MP3s, I had for a few years.
When I went to boot up the laptop this morning the loading process took some time, but it never loaded to the login screen. I just see the bottom of MicroSoft. Is there a compatibility problem with Vista and iTunes? Maybe I put too much music on my laptop?
Boot in safe mode and delete iTunes and all the music I downloaded would solve the problem? Or it is less simple than that?
Don't know where to direct this question if any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello
iTunes is compatible with Vista and there should not be any problem.
Yesterday, I installed iTunes 9 on my U400 and everything happened correctly.
If your laptop can not boot Vista correctly, then you should try the repair feature.Turn on the computer and press F8. Now you will see the advanced boot menu.
Now, you have many choices.As a first step, you should try the option called: last good known Configuration (Advanced)
If this will not help and the Vista will not start then try the option called repair your computer. This option displays a list of system recovery tools, you can use to repair startup problems, run diagnostics, or restore your system.
If that does not help, then you will need to retrieve the unit using the Toshiba recovery disc or HARD drive recovery.

Hello, after 3 years of use of this helmet and having no problems with it, now I can hear the sound in the right ear... what should I do? Help, I don't want to say 'goodbye' to it already... Thank you
It could be the plug on the computer that is the cause of the problem. Try another helmet or a pair of speakers in it.
If you hear only on one side, who will tell you that is the question.
If you hear from both sides, you must obtain a new helmet
Software will fix either of the foregoing...

We have Acrobat 9 Pro running on both PCs, with 7 and 8 operating system. We would like to turn off a computer with 8 because we get it. We want to disable Acrobat, then download on a Mac pro. However, we have not the deactivate option available in the drop down aid. Disabling is visible on another desktop computer. Can you advise us on how to disable it on the old laptop and download on the new laptop Mac?
You can't do that. If you have a license for Windows, you can not use it on a Mac.
In addition, Acrobat 9 is obsolete and is not compatible with any current operating system (including Windows 8, which is said by the way).

Since Acrobat Reader downloaded DC I can't sign my PDF documents. It does not give me the option more and yes I am connected. On the old version, I got no problem with clicking on "signature" and draw the area where I needed my signature, put the password and "POOF" my signature would be there. With this new version, it won't do that or give me the option. The online help is useless. I need to explain to me how connect you as I used too?
I assumed that you had a digital signature created in your player application of old and whenever you use to fill out a pdf with a signature field signed you it. But in order to draw and then sign you must use Acrobat Pro DC no DC drive.
Thank you
