• Questions about changing OS from Vista to XP on Satellite P100-160

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could help me... I don't like Windows Vista with a passion and I would much change for Windows XP.

  My P100-160 provided with Windows Vista pre-installed, but until now I feel of it is poor to say the least! So I'd like to return the easy to use Windows XP.

  Could you get it someone please let me know if there is something special I have to do in order to get XP to run properly. I've been reading through some of the questions on the forums on this topic, but want a nice simple step 1, step 2, etc. to ensure that I do the things first.

  Thanks in advance for any assistance received.

  Best regards

  Yvonne

  Hello

  You need description step by step? Come on man :)

  Do everything simply if you want to install the XP. During the installation of XP, you will need to format the HARD disk, partition to install XP on the laptop.
  Then, after the installation of the OS, you could install the drivers of Toshiba which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  Please note that you need XP compatible drivers! As far as I know that the Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAAE series. So please choose this one if you download the drivers.

  In addition, you will need to install drivers in the correct order. Placed on the Toshiba page installation instructions could be very useful!

  Best regards

  Goodbye ;)

• Will it hurt my settings if I change my Windows Vista PC from a computer in working group on a home PC?

  I have a Windows Vista Home Premium, I had some problems and had to do a system restore. I put a different name for my computer, I am the administrator. I did have the time to add a user account. Anyway, I wasn't paying that much attention to the WORKING GROUP or the HOUSE of CP. I feel that I can have messed up things, once again! I'm afraid that if I change the name or change the name of my computer and change it to page HOME of CP instead of WORKING GROUP, I have will not have access to Microsoft Internet Explorer? I don't see anything regarding a field in this area. Could someone help me with this, I want to change my WORKING GROUP home of CP.

  Hello

  You can change the name of your computer as the computers on a network can be part of a workgroup or a domain. The main difference between the areas and working groups is the management mode of the network resources. Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup, and computers on networks to work are usually part of a domain.

  Change the name of your computer

  For more information, you can consult the links below.

• Trouble trying to change from Windows Vista to Windows XP Home Edition.

  I have Windows Vista on my desktop.  I don't like it and I try to install Windows XP Home Edition.  I was able to get support.  When I insert the disk and select "run setup.exe" a "User Account Control" screen will appear (I've tried everything I know to disable this function, but also any virus protection software, but I didn't get it.  After I selected "Allow" on the selection of the user the "Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP" screen arrives, but the "Install Windows XP" option is not highlighted, so I can't select it.  Please notify.

  You can boot from the XP CD and do a clean install.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/978307

  You should also check that you can get the XP drivers for the computer. If this isn't the case, you're stuck with Vista or Windows 7.

• Question of destination.msi Windows Vista Sidebar

  When I try to start Windows Sidebar, I get a windows pop up, the search for file destination.msi.
  How can I fix it?

  Okay, it looks like this problem occurs from time to time. But you can try the following:

  First, you must open the command prompt, but with right click "run as Administrator".
  Then navigate with the command CD to the following folder: C:\progam Windows sidebar.
  OK, now you would type the following:

  1. regsvr32 sbdrop.dll u (after each order approve with the button ENTER)

  2 regsvr32 u wlsrvc.dll

  3 regsvr32 atl.dll

  4 regsvr32 sbdrop.dll

  5 regsvr32 wlsrvc.dll

  Done, your sidebar should work again.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
