Re: First steps after the purchase of a laptop?
Hello
We bought a Satellite A500-GL for my 17yo son.
I could ask for advice on what needs to be done on the laptop it whips away before he spends hours playing with it!
I know there will be some user guides etc there to do this, but there not the patience to sit and wait while we wait until he does, and as it is sealed, we can't not look beforehand.
I know that Anti virus/Internet security protection will be a. Can you offer me anything else e.g. recovery disks or the laptop are provided?
Thank you very much
What you need to do is follow:
# Connect your laptop on AC power and after 10 minutes departure for laptop for the first time
# Complete the installation of the OS recovery
# When the operating system is loaded create restore DVD. For this I recommend you use DVD-R media
# When the recovery disk is created your son must click around a bit to see what kind of things is installed it is
# Connect the laptop to the internet and install the latest updates. Be careful with this. do not install the optional updates.
# your son can then remove some system software if it doesn't like it.
Please note: on the second partition is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery recovery image. These data are very important and you can do HARD installation operating system drive recovery (without using the recovery DVDs). How it can be done is described in this document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
If this file will be removed or deleted, you won't be able to create recovery DVDs or use installation of HARD drive recovery.
If you have any other questions please let us know.

Satellite A300-1RZ - stucks Windows 7 upgrade on the first step of the installation
Hi all
I'm Italian, I an A300 Satellite with Vista Home Premium I paid 30 euros for the free upgrade to Windows 7, which reached my House yesterday. I got 2 DVD:
-1 to 'prepare' my phone: * TOSHIBA UPGRADE DVD *.
-1 upgrade operating system: * WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM UPGRADE DVD *.+ The first step: + use the first DVD: all right, "the system is ready to install Windows 7, insert the second dvd. When I insert the other, I accept the license and after that, the first step of the installation: * "check system compatibility."
* These steps is my problem.*I reworded more than 10 times the praxis but it blocks at this stage, I left the laptop at this stage, throughout the night, but today morning she was always there, no progress, it is clear that there is a problem, but I do not understand if it depends on my cell phone or on the DVD.
I tried to boot the laptop with Windows 7 DVD inside, start the system by the DVD, but it ask me to format the partition where are the files of vista and is not an upgrade. I bought an upgrade just do not remove previous programs and do not format the first partition of the drive of my laptop.
How do, which can, I turn to?
Does anyone have the same problem?
Does anyone know to escape?thanx 4 your answers

After the purchase of CS5 converted (boxed), CS6 update online, I had to reimage my hard drive. How to return with CS6 5 without the physical copy?
you need not install cs5 in order to install your cs6 upgrade.
After starting the installation of the cs6, you will be asked your cs6 serial number. the installation program recognizes who is a serial number update and search your system for your cs5. failing to find that it will ask for your serial number cs5. After the introduction, the installation will pronounce.
If you wanted to install cs5 and cs6, you can:
If you follow the 7 steps you can directly download a free trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
and activate it with your serial number.
If you have a problem from the download, you follow the 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow the steps 1, 2, and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system, allowing you to download the correct version of the adobe.com site).
failure to obtain this cookie translates into an error page displayed after clicking on a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (e.g., current) version.

Several months after the purchase of a refurbished laptop factory small business HP,
I came across some problems that I have contacted HP.HP sent me (with no extra charge) a set of 2 CDs, both marked
"For DISTRIBUTION only with a NEW HP or Compaq PC" (underlining)
and protected by HP (with portions by Microsoft).The 2 CD of this set of CD XP Pro DR/OS were:
Operating system CD
Application and Driver Recovery DVDSince:
1. the PC was a PC refurbished, rather than another.
2. the CD set was sent AFTER my purchase, rather than be distributed with it.
I was always a little uneasy on this subject, but had never asked about it before.Is it legal to use these CD with my PC HP refurbished?
Thank you.
-RJ, USA
The key words here are "HP refurbished factory."
That's why since you received the media to "HP" its legal. Recovery media is automatically sent to end users like you to a number of PC makers, with HP being one of many.

Someone at - it problems experienced installation PS 14 items on their Mac? I managed to download the program after the purchase, but he continues to fail during installation.
Frustrating. I spent hours with 4-5 customer representatives Adobe tries to 'fix' my problem. Finally, I just ask for a refund. I was told 5 to 7 days until the refund appears on my cc. I was considering buying the disc, but with your comment, I think I'll look for something else.

After the purchase, how much time have we download the application?
Hi Peggy,
Download the product can be done immediately, however if you bought the subscription, you must wait to activate the product until the payment goes through, and the same goes for a perpetual license product once the payment goes through you will receive your serial number to activate the product.
Kind regards
