• Question about Vista performance on satellite Pro M70

  I was wondering if anyone knew a lot about the performance of vista. For example, if you run a game under vista it run worse than in Xp because the operating system uses more than the power of the computer?

  Hello

  For two weeks, I use Windows Vista on my Satellite Pro M70. The laptop is not Vista capable, but I am very satisfied. It works very well. I tried to install and play older games like Far Cry and IGI2. It works perfectly without any problems.

  The set comes with 512 MB of RAM. As I said it works well, but I think that it will work much better with more RAM. I think I'll buy another 1 GB module. With 1.5 GB of RAM, I believe that the unit will operate like a rocket. :)

• A Question about re-installing Vista & activating?

  3 years ago my first pc broke down, because then I have taught myself how to fix & I'm at the stage of the re-installation of the OS. I can re - install the original version of Vista with the original activation code?

  The pc still has the origin card mother & processor, new hard drive, power supply, graphics card & ram memory.

  The plan is to sell the Tower once windows is installed.

  you don't say that it is an oem license that is preinstalled in acer, hp etc or a retail license

  If a retail vista license you bought yourself, you can modify any material you want

  If it was a vista preinstalled oem license:

  but as you changed the graphics card, you may be asked to make a reactivation

• Question about Vista upgrade and using Vista on my laptop

  My first post so Hello. I'm in North Ireland and just basically competent so keep this in mind if you answer my question below :)

  Need some advice on the Vista program upgrade. I am a resident in the United Kingdom and my laptop is an Equium A100-147. I got got a confirmation online and posted number is + a copy of the receipt of purchase to one address in the Netherlands. Also displayed payment (£16,53) at a different address in the Netherlands.

  I want to know is the disc I receive an 'upgrade' disc or a full version with an option of a 'complete installation', but also an upgrade? Also if I do an upgrade or a full install and decide that Vista is not to my likeing running recovery disks provided with the laptop will return its supplied as original state? It would be XP MCE.

  Vista will have all the necessary drivers for my laptop hardware work or I'm likely to have to install drivers after upgradeing or Vista installation?

  Thanks in advance... John

  For most Windows upgrades are complete windows versions. This means that you can do a clean install. During the new installation the installation program will ask for the old cd and check it. That's all.

  Of course, it is possible to return your laptop in the State of origin with the old recovery disks.

• Protégé M200: Question about Vista TPM and the Bitlocker

  You want to know if I have a TPM chip to launch bitblocker on the M200 using Vista. Just call Toshiba Technical Support - the guy was totally distraught!

  If I don't have a TPM chip, then I can install it?

  Hello

  It is a good question. To my knowledge the Portege M200 does not support TPM but the Portege M400, R400 module and the R200

  But the Bitlocker, which is only available on the Vista Enterprise and ultimate can also be used without the TPM chip but then some functions are not available; for example, the SecureBoot.
  Without TPM only the OS volume encryption is available.
  In this case you can encrypts the entire Windows volume including both data and file system user, the file of hibernation, the page file and the temporary files.

  Using volume of BONE (HDD) encryption an encryption key will be generated. This key will be written to the USB and then the USB is required!

  AFAIK the Bitlocker requires 2 partitions. A partition must be created as needs at least 50 MB primary partition. I recommend a? about 1.5 GB
  The second big partition Vista can be installed.

  After the installation of Vista the Bitlocker must be enabled in Group Policy (units without secure TPM). This can be done using the command 'gpedit '.
  And then under models of administration-> windows components-> Bitlocker bitlocker function can be activated!

  Anyway, there is much information Bitlocker and I think you should also consult the Microsoft Web site for more information:
  BitLocker Windows Drive Encryption step-by-step guide

  I hope I could help a little

• Question about Vista Recovery CD Toshiba

  I don't know why laptops Toshibas are sold with this kind of installation disc.
  If something happens and the system needs to be reinstalled then whole hard disk will be deleted. And also what it installs this Norton Internet Security? Not everyone likes it.
  It would be much better to sell just the cd with system and cd with drivers separately.

  P.S. y at - it a repair utility for this backup cd which will not remove HD set. Where is boot loader Editor?
  I have spent many hours trying to run XP and Vista on dual boot before I succeed.

  Hello

  Why you're so angry shouting at them? I Don t understand it. You know, there are 100,000 customers and machines and noone of them had a problem with this recovery system.

  To these people like you, who are dissatisfied with their handling and their marketing, they release the drivers on their site so you can get a separate operating system
  AS YOU WOULD LIKE and then you can install it as you need.
  Regarding Norton: If you don t like it, uninstall it and the problem is solved. And how do you know, people like him or not. Maybe not everyone's a computerfreak like you,
  There are some people that they don t know not even how to install an operating system, and they are happy to have something delivered to their BONES "factory-installed" who cares about the security of the system.

  If you are more familiar with computers, just install the system and make individual for you. I think that toshiba has nothing to do with, when you don t get the thing LIKE YOU HAVE is in your view.

  So I Don t want to offend you, I want to show you, this toshiba must produce for the masses, and they give the geeks like us a limited chance to create an individual system on our machine.

• Satellite A135-S4677: Question about removing installed Toshiba tools

  Hi all

  Just bought a Toshiba model: A135-S4677... at Circuit City. I see that the Google toolbar already installed. No doubt installed by Circuit City and not Toshiba. Someone has already tried to uninstall this bloatware?

  I have not yet tried to uninstall. I don't think that this would not be a simple uninstall through the Windows uninstall program.

  Someone has had experience doing the deletion? In addition,
  Are there other pre-installed programs that could slow down the resources of laptops... which should be released right wing?

  Thank you for all your help.

  Heyho,

  WHERE´s the problem, simply uninstall google thing. My mother if she had on her machine (which actually us not toshiba) and I just removed it. Everything went well and that the machine works perfectly.

  Otherwise, I let the other tools that are hardware related remain on your system.
  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Question about upgrading RAM in Equium P200

  Are there disadvantages to the insertion of a 2 GB module (one of the 2 slots left empty) instead of insert two modules of 1 GB (so using the two slots).
  Also, can I insert two modules of 2 GB 4 GB total to give me?
  I have an express chipset Intel (r) 945. If I can, I should update the bios?

  Thank you in anticipation of an answer.

  Hello

  aren´t there are disadvantages - just install 1 x 2 GB module, if you hesitate. Alternatively, you can install 4 GB of RAM, but you won´t be able to use all of the 4 GB due to a limitation of the operating system.

  To learn more about the limitation of 4 GB, see this post:

• Question about graphics cards for Equium L40 - 10 X

  HI - new to this, but really cut so I hope someone can help me. !

  I bought an Equium L40 - 10 X in August and thought it was good for what I wanted, especially after seeking advice and addressing the 'expert' at my local pcworld.

  However, I think that the graphics card is good enough to support the games I got - Medal of honor Warchest, Hitman Triple Pack and Call of Duty 2. They all sem to recommend a graphics card than nVidia as a minimum requirement. The card in the laptop is an Intel (r) 945 Express Chipset Family (I think) and the OS is Vista Home Premium.

  I have problems include the loss of graphics and stutter during playback.

  Can I have a nVidia graphics card or is the that I've had enough but I just need to change some settings?

  Really don't have an idea, so help would be much appreciated!

  Hello Dicker

  You are shown how the customer can purchase the wrong product. It may be your fault or due to bad Advisory Service. L40 books are pretty cheap with the average material. This laptop is good for everyday work (Office Automation, writing letters and surfing) but certainly not for the complex graphics applications and games.

  Sorry but there is not much to do. Only thing to do is to increase the RAM to the maximum, but forget the graphics card upgrade. Something like this is not possible.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - question about Vista license key

  Hi all,

  I bought an A300-149 with preinstalled Vista.
  One of my friends told me, the partition that was used to install Vista is not useful, it consumes space from my HARD drive, so I deleted the partition and rearranged the partitions that I was going to use them.

  I just found out it's a big mistake to do that, because the contained all partition drivers and Vista with the license key.
  I'm losing my windows license, if I eventually have to reinstall it? (I have the label on the underside of the computer with the key...)
  I can not download the content of this partition (in the form of an ISO standard) somewhere in this site? (and use the key to the label, as it is usually done with the software)

  I paid for this OS... so I don't understand why I have not received a DVD with the software? (When I opened the box, I was looking for the DVD and I wandered why he is missing...)
  It's frustrating...

  Waiting for your answers,
  Thank you

  Hello

  It's really stupid situation now, but certainly not frustrating.
  Here a few facts to better understand:

  New Toshiba laptops are delivered without recovery DVD and images of recovery is recorded on the second partition. All of us must create own recovery media. To do this, this Toshiba has designed little tool called creator of Toshiba recovery disc. With this tool, you can create recovery recovery CD and DVD. When you have these media you can do with the data you want. To install Vista over these media must be used.

  So many people may forget or simply ignore it. Because of this Toshiba has designed reminder with the trace message:

  Because of this, Toshiba has designed little reminder that will be shown in short time after first start with track contents:

  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair *.
  * your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose 'Repair your computer' *)
  * and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to *.
  * ensure hat you are able to restore your computer to the factory installed state, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  I can't imagine you didn t see.
  In any case, your friend probably has no idea how it works, and now you have a problem.
  To be honest you have no problem, but the additional costs. You can order the following original Toshiba disk link given by Akuma, but you must pay for it.

  Bye and good luck!

• Question about Vista key placed on the bottom of my laptop

  Hi all and sorry for my English :)

  So, I have laptop X 300-11 L Qosmio. I have Win Vista HP DVD without a key. But on my laptop with Vista Home Premium Product key sticker.
  I want to install another Vista, no recovery (too many "useful" programs).

  How can I do? If I install my Vista DVD, laptop tell me - product key isn't ok...
  THX

  You may think of the ability to remove all software pre-installed, you won't use. Nobody is forcing you to have all the. To be honest, I do the same.

  Vista key located under the unit belongs to the operating system included in Toshiba recovery image that you have with your laptop. This key is not a universal key that you can use with each other DVD facilities.

• Question about updating BIOS for Satellite M70-337

  I just bought an M70-337 and the Toshiba site I noticed that there is an update of the BIOS - my current v1.3 to v1.4. Several things occurred to me - mainly centering around me after spending 3 days Exchange my sytems to a new computer: -.

  I've never updated a BIOS before.
  I've heard that it can be potentially disastrous
  So it is worth risking 3 days for an update that is perhaps not necessary?
  I downloaded the bios file - 130win.zip - is it just a matter of installing the program in the same way, install other Windows programs?
  Or I'd be suspicious?

  Anyone know? or have experience of updating a BIOS through Windows?

  Hi Alan,

  As your say quite rightly, BIOS updates can be disastrous if something should go wrong with the process.

  I wouldn't recommend that you try to update the BIOS unless it is absolutely necessary in order to correct some of the problems you are having with your laptop. The usual reason for an update of the BIOS under production to fix a bug identified in the previous version, is to provide new functionality/pick-up load of new devices or operating system settings. If you have no problems with you laptop, then I would leave well alone and run with the BIOS that is already installed.

  The M70 is a very nice unit and I don't know of existing bugs or updates that are essential for this. Take advantage because it's :-)

  Kind regards

• Satellite P200-1FZ: Question about Vista performance index?

  I recently bought a P200D-128 announced as having 256 MB of memory graphic dedicated only to find only has a HD2400 with 128 MB card (the name must have been an idea, I know).

  I was looking for a model with 256 MB I had read that it was recommended for good graphics performance in Vista.
  On the P200-128 model Vista performance index showed:

  Processor: 4.8
  Memory: 5.9
  Graphics: 3.3
  Games graphics: 3.7
  Hard drive: 5.2

  If the overall score of 3.3 seems not be limited by the graphics performance.

  I now plans to upgrade this model to a P200-1FZ (which has a HD2600 with 256 MB memory card), but would like to know if it significantly improves the score of graphics and Vista performance index.

  If anyone has this model (or a relative) and could tell me the VEI score, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Just FYI: I Satellite P200D-111 with ATI Mobility Radeon X 2600 almost 5 months now. I use Vista Home Premium and to be honest, I'm quite satisfied with the performance of Vista. Up to now, I also tested with several games such as Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4, El Matador and older games like FarCry and Max Payne 2 WXP. It works perfectly.

  I like Call of Duty 4. He funs all simply fantastic. I do not even use complete running. At the moment I think to upgrade RAM to have better running OS. in the end, I can say one thing: for the reasonable price, I have large notebook.

  Good bye

• Question about Vista driver pack for Satellite A100

  Hello

  The Vista operating system has already released all over the world, such as Turkey, but still, I could not find drivers for Vista for my A100-192 in the download section.
  How can I find the drivers? If it is possible, I prefer a package driver for my laptop rather than searching for each driver by one of.

  Thanks in advance

• Question about Vista and EyeQ CD program compatibiliby

  I have a Compaq laptop with Windows Vista and I can buy an EyeQ CD program for Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me, and NT 4.0 and higher. Will it work?

  Contact the manufacturer of the program.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

  If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
  It works for some programs, but not all.

  This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

  See you soon.
