• Various installation with the Portege R100 and Windows XP issues

  Hello

  I recently bought a used Portege R100. It came without OS and I wanted to install XP SP2.

  I know that restorations only work with PCMCIA readers adapted, but the HARD drive is formatted, so there is no recovery possible I guess.
  Here are my problems:
  -with my very old Freecom PCMCIA CD player the Windows installation CD is recognized, and it starts to load the XP drivers until he wants to start copying files installiation--> then I get the blue screen of Windows with the error 00 x 7 (virus or driver)
  -the same thing happens with my former W2k Pro installation disc.
  -With the even more ancient W98SE, strange things are happening too: installation seems to work fine, but when it comes to start with W98SE, for the first time, the system hangs up with pixelgarbage.
  -Make the 6 Bootdisks with makeboot doesn't work anymore.
  -J' also tried MS-DOS! And guess what! It worked! Loading the Freecom drivers and copy of Windows I386 folder on my hard drive with the volkov Commander (something similar to NortonCommander) worked too! So I got hav files on my drive but after running Windows NT in the i386 folder, the system hangs after some time, when it starts to copy the files to a temporary folder.

  So I tried almost everything I know. at this moment I am download knoppix to try it.

  I ran Memtest86 and 9 Diskmanager to test the RAM and HARD drive, finished two withut errors, so the priority of main parts in the installation process seems to work. Maybe it's that my IDE controller is broken?
  I have no idea, WHY does he not move windows!

  Help is hot!

  Thank you

  It should work out that way, run you own your HD first in Fat32format - file-system, otherwise it won't work!
  Don't forget to use "smartdrive' in your BACK-commissioning, otherwise it will take a lot of time, even the 'freeze' is possible.

  Hello Rita

  I know not all this for you but I just want to post you my theory about all this. Older models of laptops are pre-installed with Windows XP Home SP1 edition (your computer laptop too) and I'm sure that if you are installing your phone by following the instructions of Toshiba you may have success.

  Perhaps you need to install Windows XP Home SP1, all drivers and Toshiba edition tools and after doing this install SP2. When you are finished check Microsoft Windows XP SP2 to update document information and implementing up-to-date all listed stuff. This document, you can find on the download page of Toshiba for your laptop model.

  I know that it is quite complicated, but maybe only way to get all the installed stuff clean and correctly.
  One last thing: maybe you should not install SP3 because it can cause problems with Toshiba tools and utilities feature.

• Display problems with the Portege R600 and Win 7

  I have a R600 running windows 7, every two minutes, I have a display problem where where the vertical pixels seem to get every centimeter unaligned, so my screen seems to blur digital in bars across it.

  I have an external monitor attached and get the same problem with or without him. I have tired the driver of toshiba and intel driver.

  It seems to go away if I have windows min and max, but sometimes it doesn't. If I run my mouse an affected area, that it seems in trouble and sometimes it's not all screen.

  A refresh solves it.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  > I have an external monitor attached and get the same problem with or without him.
  Maybe I m wrong but in most cases if these symptoms are seen on the two displays (internal & external) then a graphics chip could be affected
  It would be the worst case, because that would mean that the motherboard needs to be replaced

  But just a question; have you noticed that using the previous Windows OS preinstalled by maybe Toshiba (Win XP or Vista), you must install the image of Toshiba again to verify if this display problem is still visible

• Portege R100 and RIPREP

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with RIS and my laptop Toshiba Portege R100. When I try to extract an image from the notebook using riprep, it keeps failing. This happens even with a vanilla XP installation. All other my laptop works very well except this model.

  I noticed that since the file riprep.sif the last lines are missing from the torn picture failure. A successful image should look like this:

  [OSChooser]
  Description = "test image - Toshiba R100"
  Help =' '
  LaunchFile ="%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%\templates\startrom.c om»
  ImageType = SYSPREP
  Version = "5.1 (2600) '"
  SysPrepSystemRoot = "Mirror1\UserData\WINDOWS".
  HalName = halacpi.dll
  ProductType = 0

  An image failed would replace the last few lines with the following information:

  [OSChooser]
  Description = "Windows Professional.
  Help = "this will install Windows Professional in a standard configuration.
  LaunchFile = "%INSTALLPATH%\%MACHINETYPE%\templates\startrom.co m '.
  ImageType = "Flat".

  I also checked the riprep.log file to see if there was no problem there. There are some services that were not arrested before the images were torn off. However, these services also appear in other newspapers of riprep files other images which have succeeded. I also stopped these services before starting the imaging process, but the problem persists.

  I rip an image successfully just now. I showed a colleague what happens when I tried using riprep, and it worked. I was pretty stripped, but this was the first and last time.

  I should also mention that the configuration of the network is DHCP statistics. I also tried to give a static IP address.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  If you need further information do not hesitate to contact me.

• Portege R100 and HDD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Portege R100 and I want to upgrade the 40 GB HARD disk. What is the highest size that I could upgrade using Toshiba or not Toshiba HDD?
  There are 1.8 "SSD? What would be the best way to update?

  Thank you
  Romeo

  I have an old Portege 2000 and it's almost the same specifications your one, but my has been delivered with 20 GB of HARD drive. I've updated it with 60 GB and it works perfectly.
  I can understand your wishes on the HARD drive upgrade, but I recommend you to be a little more realistic and spend it is logical and understandable for this older model laptop.

  So I can confirm that 60 GB HARD drive will be working well. Maybe you can use the HARD disk with more capacity, but Toshiba is now your Portege with 40 GB max. What you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask them if they have more experiences with the hardware upgrade on this laptop.

  To be honest, this laptop is not designed for multimedia stuff and in fact 60 GB HARD drive is quite enough for the installation of applications and for the registration of all the important things like maybe a few videos, photos and office documents.

  What you want to do with this laptop?

• Equium L10: Problem with the main battery and battery RTC

  Hello

  I have the Toshiba Equium L10 and it is about 14 months old and I have problems with the battery and how much time it takes after a full charge. I also have problems with the RTC battery and an ERROR 0271: check date and time settings message when I turn on the laptop.

  Regarding the battery, I can fully charge it upward in about 3 hours, but when I start to use it, apparently in the last few hours around one and a half or so and then it needs to be recharged. I can have down for about 40 minutes and then turn it off and come back later or in a day or two. How long should I expect from a fully charged battery?

  About the batttery RTC, it really becomes a pain and I only started to get the message of the ERROR 0271 start-up, in recent weeks. I can charge the battery pack and then leave for a few days, but when I turn it on, I get the message ERROR 0271 on the date and time incorrect. Surely after a full charge, the RTC battery should last longer than a few days?

  The manual says that if the RTC battery is exhausted or becomes weak, you must charge the battery of the CCF for 24 hours, in a different part of this manual indicates between 24 and 48 hours, but how can load you for long when the sections concerning the charging battery pack status after charging the battery you unplug the power adapter because leaving connected will shorten the life expectancy of the Battery Pack. So, how we can charge the battery of the CCF for 24 to 48 hours if we shouldn't leave the AC adapter plugged in once the battery is charged - which is nearly three hours. Suggestions about these problems would be appreciated.

  Besides we all know that it is easy to change the CMOS/RTC battery in your desktop base unit, but is it easy to change in a Toshiba Equium L10?

  Concerning

  Brave0

  Hi Brave0,

  The normal recommendation for the CMOS (RTC) battery is to leave the laptop connected to the power supply at least 12 hours when the main battery is fully charged. The charging circuit is going to hijack the current to the load automatically RTC battery and no current will be forwarded to your main battery.

  Recommendation do not leave the power adapter is plugged in the main battery is fully charged is really only applicable to older laptops that used no batteries Li - ion and therefore they had to be completely discharged before recharging to avoid any effect 'memory' of the battery.

  With modern Li-ion batteries, it is quite safe to leave the battery when fully charged and still power the laptop from the AC adapter. The charging circuit will pass all the battery charge if it is fully charged.

  Kind regards

• problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

  After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

  This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

  Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

  I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

  Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

  

  Hi there highland99,

  Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I have problems with Windows7 Home Premium and WWII CFS joystick operation.  I get a message from gibberish, saying that the controller has been changed.  I tried to replace the file with a version of Windows XP .cfg and also tried to re-write the .cfg file.  Apparently, this version of Windows will not allow a file to be saved with an extension ".cfg", so it does not work either.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

• MCBUILDER. EXE running rampant, competing with updates for CPU and possibly associated with an update failed chess SP2 and the backup and restore

  Running Vista Home Premium SP1 and the system has been slow and freezing. MCbuilder appear to be using 50 to 100% of CPU, and it is a process that seems no way of killing. I disabled in Services, but again, it seems to start without any particular reason and hinders attempts to install programs or updates vista hogging resources. This can be associated with a problem that has arisen since June because I am not able to perform backups or set restore points (gives the error "0 x 81000101 the creation of a shadow copy has timed out"). I tried to install SP2 in the hope that it will not solve the problem, but the failure of installation and install KB947821 doesn't seem to work either. As the restoration of the system is defective, I would be grateful for the pointers to the resolve or completely remove this mcbuilder problem.

  You have COMODO or AVG Antii-virus installed on your system?  It is known problems with these two programs and MCbuilder.exe.  I don't have Microsoft Resource Builder Cache as a service in the Services (so I can't activate or deactivate it)-you which version of Vista to help (bit, SP-number version)?  I have 32 bit Vista Business SP2. I see no way to turn it off in order to close it with the Task Manager when it is - with the exception, but who could become annoying if it happens frequently and with multiple instances.  I could find nothing useful in Knowledge Base Microsoft on it hogging resources although I've seen a few threads using Bing (which is where I came up with COMODO and AVG anti-virus conflicts).

  You can be infected by malware (which may be the origin of the program to activate and run "without reason"). While in Test Mode safe mode (press F8 during startup and select mode safe mode with networking repeatedly) to run anti-malware programs. To resolve this problem (if it is a problem) download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html.  You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com).  Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems).  Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft.  I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed.  Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago).  You can also try the new, free Microsoft Security Essentials http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspx (with the same caveat that only program AV one ALONE can be installed and running on your system at any time). Restart after finishing all the scans and see if the problem has been resolved.

  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started (which can be a problem if it began all the way back in June - you should have posted here then when this process would probably have worked).  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points (but I doubt that you will have a pretty far back and forth to the system restore may not be a viable option).  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well it will complete with no corruption, he couldn't fix it (if there is such corrouption post here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  I bet there is something involving the program or associated with this program.

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side.

  I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem (probably the SFC command or controls anti-virus).  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

  BTW, for update of the problems you are having with SP2, post on the Forum of Windows Update to: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where the people who specialize in update issues will be happy to help you with your concerns and get SP2 running on your system (perhaps despite this particular problem).  As you say, it can even solve the problem - who knows.

  Good luck!
