• 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.

  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.

• Satellite Pro A200GE - 26Q: Question about Windows update "TOSHIBA x 64 ACPI Compliant logical value.

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-26. It has a core 2 duo T7200, running vista 32 provided with the computer (now sp1).

  Windows Update offers me the following optional update: 'TOSHIBA TOSHIBA - other hardware - x 64 compatible ACPI value logical and general-purpose device' but I am concerned that at present in Device Manager, the computer is listed as "ACPI x 86 based pc.

  Does anyone know why windows update offers this for me and if I install it?

  Thanks for any help!

  This update is available for all units of Core2Duo.
  As you already wrote it is optional, and you must not install it. If you use original recovery image Toshiba you have no need for the functionality of the laptop. Using the recovery image or you have installed your own OS?

• Question about windows theme and display of Web pages

  I have everything, I'm new here, I've had my laptop for about 8 months, but it was stored for the 6 months, so he had only 3 months of use, and that was 99% for watching movies as was my laptop backup (my girlfriends, which was never used)...
  Well I just got my laptop storage and started using it again as I want now to do that my main work computer, it's a Satellite A100 Series. Running Win XP Pro SP2. Well, now I used it for about 1 week now and this is a fantastic computer, expecially the swipe away feature, I'm usually one XP Home Edition, but I do with Pro, just did not have any experience with it...

  Now, here's the problem, and this has always been the problem since bought, when we first bought it and connected to the internet with IE7 fonts have been massive, I figured out how to fix this in the display after a few hours to play settings and also noticed Web pages if there is a background image, it does not appear... (I also found this week is the same for any application on the PC that uses a Web page as Set up, or something, just sectain things... as I open the Security Center in the control panel and everything is white, and background images aren't there (which is white) and even corners which are background pictures are not displayed and comparing to) my other computer, there should be a green and red, background color etc.
  With Windows Media Player buttons should be as purple and black in WMP11, and they like a white background style html on buttons with links to them at the top and playback, stop, etc buttons have a back outside and the inside is white...

  Basically what I'm saying, is that she appears not CSS style WC3 content on some pages and applications on the laptop, and with regard to Web pages that they are exactly the same, I tried IE7, FireFox, front Browser, and still, the only one that displays pages almost as it should is Opera 9.2, but I really need to solve this problem... it is something simple to do with display obioussly , or settings, but I have tried literally every single different way of doing things last week, tried everything in the Control Panel, all toools Toshiba and no results.

  I'm not a beginner, or whatever it is, I can't get this problem, I can't even think of a setting that would do this let alone in trying to resolve this... I have all the Windows updates (although as I said, he did this from the first day of purchase)...

  If I could post a screenhot here I could show you... what Web pages look like in IE7 and FireFox and before (the only difference is Internet Explorer pages is mostly gray and firefox is white, gray is also.)

  Another question, when I was messing with the settings in the Control Panel, under Performace I changed it to something like 'make optimal display for performace' rather than 'Best to display' and it is then my control panel simple with a white background, and everything is not how I'm used, even the categories are made for each section , they are just all grouped together here, and my house Windows on my other laptop is positioned like this, but it at least has a sidebar on the left with a button to change it back...
  now I am at a loss to find the Performace button, as it is there is more, and I want to change it to 'show better for display' not the persomance... so if someone knows how to do this, please let me know... I took a screenshot of my control panel... and it's not naked, I use the Zune Windows (the black buttons and backgrounds theme ), so he used to be a gray background with a status bar on the side with all the links and details dark just like folders etc... So yes, it is another thing that I want to fix.

  Also I do not have the CD to fix it, not more that I think that she needs, but I have a standard out of the box disk Win Xp Pro, I was seriusosly do a fresh install, but I know I'll lose all modules of toshiba and all the extras that it is came up with, that's the only reason for which I don't have as it has Protector Suite QL, that I would have to pay to settle down to do a cleanup, and I really want to do because there is obviously something missing, its as simple as that, there is nothing wrong with the system it is just not set up correctly.

  Here are some screenshots of how I see Web pages, my Security Center Page and my control panel because I messed up he do "Get the best performace of" upward and the screen turned to the basic white and half things in the control panel is now missing, it has been setup in the previous categories... ahhhhh When I try to solve the original problem, I've done another...

  http://i203.Photobucket.com/albums/aa134/phorumws/just%20stuff/ScreenHunter_01-1.jpg

  {It is the Security Center screen when I click in the Panel, that was before I did it fade)

  http://i203.Photobucket.com/albums/aa134/phorumws/just%20stuff/ScreenHunter_02Sep3021.54.jpg

  ("it's now my control panel once I went in ' Premformance and display ' (I think. it was certainly performace in the name of the category)... and I changed a parameter of performance and display which actually use less resources... now I can't change it back, as the button performace is no more :())

  Thanks for reading and I hope although there, can anyone help me cos I hate having to do a fresh install on something as small as this, it is not many programs Add on on my laptop, as I said, it has probably beeen used 20 times ever, and especially for watching movies up to 1 week where it sat in storage for 6 months ago ,,

  Any help would be greatly appreciated... I tried all the Options of the Internet, all the Display Options, all variants, I need something specific, it is not only perform the internet, but the global programs with html style links, etc. and certainly CSS style sheets and the background image in the HTML feature.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Jay

  Very impressive display! I can see after 4 days, nobody wrote anything to give you the solution for your problem. I read your announcement with a lot of attention and I have to say that it was not easy to figure out your problem exactly (perhaps because English is not my native language).

  I know very well that new OS install is radical and last solution but I recommend you to check some forums Microsoft WXP because issue described is, in my opinion, more for OS forums for Toshiba forum.

  If you display the same thing in forum Microsoft please post the link, and we can follow the discussion here.

  I wish you good luck and I hope you will find answers soon.

• Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

  I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

  Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

  Lenovo ThinkPad T450

  Model: 20BV00BUS

  CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

  RAM: 4 GB

  Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

  Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

  Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

  A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

  I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

  This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

  The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

  Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

  Kind regards

  Victor L.

  Hi Victor,

  I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

  We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

  To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

  Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

  (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

  Select Start,

  Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

  If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

  I hope this helps.

  Best regards, Max.

• questions about the updates and drivers

  I have 2 questions.

  1. How can I reinstall an update failed to install the first time?
  2. If I can get the driver I need mass storage?

  Hello Sherry,

  Question #1: Go into Control Panel, click Windows Update, and then run the Check for Windows Update manually. Download and install the missing update. If you know that you have missed one, but his shoeing not try refreshing the page until the missing update reappears and you can install it then.

  Question #2: The short answer is to go the manufacturer of the mass storage device and look for driver that corresponds to your operating system. For this, you will need the brand and the specific model of your computer, the version and the depth of your Windows 7 system and brand and the specific model of your mass storage device number.

  These instructions are generic as your questions were also. I don't want to insult your intelligence by giving you more that you need, please post here with any details you need.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• Good question after Windows update on Satellite P100 PSPA3E

  I encountered a problem with my sound card after a Windows Update. It became an old analog tuner with problems of dust on his volume knob. (this is a reference "sounds like" for those old enough to remember) I updated the driver to the most recent DriverGuide.com, no joy.

  I even did a complete system restore "with the"product restore disk."" Which fixed the problem until Windows updated the right files for trash again. I don't know what files do the dirty on my card since most of the windows system updates are performed while I "continue to work! Anyone with ideas?

  Thank you

  JD

  Hello

  What operating system do you use? XP or Vista?

  Satellite P100 PSPA3E must use a sound chip Intel high definition audio Conexant CX20551-22.

  I recommend to remove the sound card in Device Manager after installing Windows updates.
  Then restart the computer and install the latest audio drivers available that support the sound chip HD Conexant CX20551-22.

  First of all, you should try to use the driver for the Toshiba page. If this does not work, check the Intel page!
  Please don t forget to restart the laptop after windows update finished.
