• Satellite A30: Question about Bios Update August 8

  Good afternoon

  Am I right to assume that the update in August 2007 for my Satellite A30 is to allow him to work with MS Vista? There is no documentation with the download of the bios, but the bios description says "provides the additional functionality.

  Can anyone describe what that this added functionality provides and is it really helps in 3-year upgrade of a machine? I use XP on it

  Kind regards

  Dave Smith

  Hello Dave

  I'm pretty sure that old Satellite A30 is not taken in charge of Vista. Unfortunately there is no public document on the update of the BIOS and the exact list this update is good for. One thing I can say with certainty: If your OS works well and stabile let go and take advantage of Windows XP Home edition.

• Equium L20-198: Question about BIOS and output s-video

  I seem to have two problems with it and that's when I put the bios password on above it on the screen is rubbish, scrammble symbols. Also is it supposd to come with s-video output, but it is a black plastic in place place

  Hello

  I certainly know that the S-video port is not available on all models Equium L20. Please check the specifications of the laptop even though I think that your model should have S-video port. Please contact your local dealer and talk with them about it.

  Your device has a valid warranty and if you think that there is a technical problem, contact the Service partner and explain the problem. Please don t make some BIOS update experiences if you are not familiar with this procedure.

• Question about Windows Update in Windows 7 links.

  Whenever I have run or click on the links to Windows Update to update my workstation at work I usually click the links on the left under the heading Control Panel home.  When I click on it it says "Windows is up-to-date.

  This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.  My question is, what is the difference between checking the updates link in the Control Panel Home section and check online for updates from Microsoft Update?

  Verification of updates link goes to a SCCM server only?  Just curious.

  Brother and sisters all the place!

  This morning, I clicked on the 'check online for updates from Microsoft Update' and found about 20 updates of security necessary to my machine.

  After doing the above, you have now "reversed" your source of default update from Windows Update to Microsoft Update.

  
  What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

  While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other software from Microsoft, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

  Translation: Now the automatic updates (and controls running manual updates) will provide updates for Windows and office, Silverlight, Windows Live Essentials, etc..

• General question about the updates and version number

  I have a general question about versions and update.  I'm new on this and am in the deep end of learning I want.

  In vSphere web client, I see the following versions (these are exactly as the seller, he left a few months that I have screenshots in my documentation that match)

  Version - VMware ESXi, 5.1.0 1612806

  Profile - Dell (updated) ESXi - 5.1 - 799733 (A00)

  I am trying to familiarize themselves with the Update Manager and I noticed that there are a lot of patches and updates available.

  Lists of Update Manager 5 patches as "Missing" with Red x but directly above them are a list of patches with green tick indicating that "installed" - it is perhaps obvious, but im guessing 'installed' means really installed when displayed on the screen - there is an update installed, labeled "ESXI 5.1 all the update 2-' would be able to tell that it has been installed by the details of profile/version above?

  I don't think it's a big deal at this stage, but if I install all missing patches and then the details of the version/profile change in summary screen?

  I hope this makes sense.

  Thank you

• Questions about the update of the related .ai files

  I have two questions about related images.

  (1) sometimes when I make changes to an .ai file, the InDesign document will automatically update the image as soon as I save changes in Illustrator. In other words, I do not need to update the link in the Panel links ID.  Other times, however, the link will not update, and I have to click the yellow triangle next to the image in the links Panel to see the changes. Is there a reason why this is happening and is there an easier way to update images as the links Panel. In Quark, I could simply double-click on the image, and a dialog box asking if I wanted to update the image. This isn't a big problem for me, but I thought I'd ask.

  (2) every time I make a change to a file .ai, the image linked in InDesign always re-scales, and I can't understand why he's doing or how to stop it. For example, I placed a bar graph in Illustrator in a fitted frame and sound + x and + values there. He settled on a scale 100% and I will not change that. Then, I had to make a change to a text label on the chart, making the slightly smaller chart. When I updated the link in InDesign, it has been resized to 118.12%. I had to get into the x field + sign in the command bar and type 100% to get back to the level it was before.  Is there a default setting that I have to uncheck to disable this feature? If not, is there by chance a simple combination of keys that will allow me to re - scale the image quickly?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  1. looks that you sometimes select art or thename of the link and choose "Edit original" and sometimes you just need to open art and make changes. If you say that the ID to change original it updates to the Save.

  2. There are two options, depending on version, for the behavior of repeat and scale. In CS5 (and CS4 if I remember correctly), you have the choice between them in the preferences in previous versions, it is one or the other, depending on the version. One option is to preserve the dimensions, which is wha'ts that happens to you. The other is to keep scale. Exactly how to preserve the dimensions behaves depends on it, too much on the cropping options you have used when you place the .ai file. If you cropped to aret or encompassing, for example, change the size of the art or to remove a point wandering affect art or the bounding box, but of culture media would not change.

• Question about BIOS for Satellite Pro A10 files

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 and later yesterday, he won't, he past the TOSHIBA start screen and then black with a flashing cursor, it didn't leave me in advanced settings or the settings of the BIOS, a friend told me I need to Flash BIOS, I came across the site and found only a BIOS update and management told me to use the floppy drive , he said when I unzip the file I get an .exe file which I opened and it will give me three files, one for the CD ROM, one for the floppy drive and the third I don't remember, but it didn't happen, when I unzipped the files in a temporary folder, but I never had the files.

  I think I had to have it on my own laptop, and then it would be extracted properly, because my laptop does not work I can't do and even if I put the files on a disk, they are too big.

  Then...

  Where can I get the files from the BIOS that I can put on a floppy disk and then I can boot from that disk and it will fix the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Hello

  OK, follow these steps:

  Burn the file bios to CD on a CD, boot from it and update your bios. It's a simple and easy way. I Don t understand why it shouldn´t work, given that I ve updated my bios in the same way. I burned the image to CD and booted from this CD.

  Please answer perhaps you just made a mistake when you think to (I sometimes do too much, not often, but it happens..)  :)

• Satellite M30-304 - strange questions after BIOS update

  Hi all

  I updated my BIOS according to the good driver for Satellite M30. However, since this operation took the endless problems with screen and wireless card. Also the screen used to display flash BIOS only now them a Centrino, Centrino logo sometimes sometimes Mr. Pentium, I don't know that the version of BIOS is incorrect for my laptop. If I try to re - install the upgrade, it is said version already installed 1.7, so will not continue.

  1. is there a way to force the re - install the same version?
  2. someone can the upgrade me of the correct BIOS Setup for the model n ° PSM30E-0QKJ1-5U, I installed the version was 20070807154017

  The history is quite interesting. AFAIK Centrino logo is there if the Centrino platform is in use.

  The Centrino platform consists of:
  an Intel Pentium M processor
  a chipset Intel 855 of the series
  an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 or later 2200 (IEEE 802 11 b) mini-PCI wireless adapter

  If a component is removed (Intel PRO/Wireless mini-PCI wireless adapter) the Centrino logo will disappear. I don't really know why logo is from time to time, but you did the right BIOS update. There is no other for your laptop model.

  Can you please tell me what is the problem with your wireless network adapter? You can use just sporadically or what?

• Satellite X 200 - 20 G: Question about BIOS 2.20

  Hello

  Could you please bring me some lights on the warning that introduced the 2.20 BIOS upgrade:

  *!!! * Upgrade BIOS from Windows XP BIOS only on VISTA BIOS V2.20 V5.10 or more! * *

  I am mainly interested to understand what the relationship is with XP.

  I have a Satellite X 200-20 G with the first hard drive with Vista (default configuration) and a XP Home edition on the second hard drive, and I use the menu of the BIOS to boot to one side or the other.

  Thank you
  Guy.

  Hello

  On some laptops the BIOS must be updated to the XP version if the Win XP operating system has been installed.

  The warning indicates that if you have already updated the BIOS to version 5.10 XP refresh you could again only at the version 2.20 of BIOS Vista.

  But it seems that the version XP BIOS for Sam X 200 doesn't exist at this time and in my opinion you can neglect it ;)

  Best regards

• Satellite 2410-303: Question about software update and service in the northern part of Cyprus

  First of all, I have a Satellite 2410-303 and I hoped that I can update my toshiba but there is no my toshiba model name in the Download Center. It has 2410-303 in the Download Center and I install the update on my toshiba. This will damage my toshiba?

  Secondly, I recorded my toshiba. I can access my account, then I'll download center update but my toshiba model is not correct (Magnia 550 d isn't my toshiba). I do not have other updates. How can I solve this problem?

  Finally, studying at University of the Eastern Mediterranean in Northern Cyprus. I am waiting for this area, but I could not find any point of service. Is there any point of service in the northern part of Cyprus?

  Thank you very much for interested in my topic and your comments!

  The simple driver update will not damage your laptop but the incorrect BIOS.
  Anyway, Sam is right. The S in the first step means satellite. This is why you must use drivers for 2410-303. These are the correct drivers and they should work on the laptop.

  If you are looking for the right service partner I would say visiting this site:

  You will find a database with ASP together all over the world.

• Satellite Pro L100 - Question about BIOS password reset

  Hello

  I have problems with an old satellite L100 to request the password from the bios, which we do not know.

  I saw there are different ways of short connections to work around this problem, but I can't find anything about this particular model and none of the information I've seen applies to this motherboard.

  Can someone please help and direct me to what pins needs a short circuit on the laptop to be able to re - use this equipment.

  Many thanks in advance,

  Chris

  > old satellite L100 asking to specify the password of the bios, which we do not know.

  The password of BIOS bad new buddy is a kind of security mechanism that cannot be removed easily. The unknown BIOS password can be deleted only authorized Toshiba service
  This is why you must contact the ASP in your country to remove

• Question about BIOs

  What is the meaning of 'Version 8 BIOS'.
  
  I saw a lot of people with problems when their 750 Ti GTX graphics card. I get my EVGA GTX 750 Ti SC soon and I hope that there will be no problem with him.
  
  My PC model is H8 - 1285D

  My BIOS version is 8.20

  Is it my PC able to run the graphics card without any problem?

  Hello

  HP computers that are shipped with Windows 8 in general have a BIOS version 8 which supports Secure Boot.   The motherboard of your PC was initially released with a BIOS version 7. Since you have a BIOS version 8, many modern graphics cards should work.

  Yes there were many messages about the NVIDIA GTX 750 does not work in the HP PC, but in many cases these PCs only had a BIOS version 7.

  Be aware that some models of the NVIDIA GTX 750 require a PCI-E power connector 6-pin and the power of your PC lacks this connector.  Collate EVGA before buying anything.

• Satellite A300 - Question about BIOS password

  Hello

  on the machine, I had a bios password set for the start.
  After that I put this password empty start it asks me for some other password enter the bios menu.
  I am able to boot up the laptop, launch Vista and do what I want to do besides enterering the Bios.

  Advice to solve this problem?
  Tried to update the bios, did not help.
  Looked in the internet for a description where to find CMOS batt. Still no idea.

  Best regards
  Rob

  Hello

  Are you sure that you have set the BIOS password?
  If you set the BIOS password then the laptop would request the password before it would start in Windows Vista.

  I think that set you the password of the user or supervisor password!

  In Toshiba Assist-> Secure you could erase that two passwords too.

• Question about bios settings on Satellite L40 - 17 Q

  Hi all

  yesterday, I bought a Satellite L40 - 17 q (psl4ce).
  I installed win xp and update the bios to 5.40 worm. but I found a way to change the shared video memory amount. How can I access to advance bios feateres (impossible to disable/chipset features memory timings etc..)

  THX in advance for your help

  Hello

  These parameters are not supplied in the BIOS.
  Your graphics Mobile Intel GL960 is controlled by the graphics driver.

  The graphics driver controls the shared memory and automatically assigns an amount of memory if it s needed.

  Everything works automatically.

  See you soon
