• Cannot activate Vista! Help, please!

  My laptop came originally installed with Microsoft XP. A year ago I bought an 'Upgrade' Windows Vista disc to my computer instead. I've updated, everything was fine and then a month ago windows could no longer work. I could not reinstall Vista, because I only had the upgrade version, and I don't have XP.

  I was able to install Vista without using the key supplied with the drive, but of course I was given 30 days to activate it - who is not able to do. Now, windows must stop working once AGAIN, unless I repeat again and again the installation process. I think it is complete BS that Microsoft does that. I bought the drive, I have the key, they should provide me with a way to solve the problem that THEY should have been fixed a long time ago. Vista stop working due to problems of Vista. I can't even use their technical support, because I refuse to pay the sum of $59.99, they ask.

  Is there a way I can activate my Vista program so I don't have to keep reinstalling each month? I don't have an XP disc, and it never came with the laptop.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting.

  You use the telephone option to activate Vista.

  Click the Start button.

  1. in the search box, type slui.exe 4 and press enter.

  3. Select your country in the menu dropdown.

  4. click on continue in the UAC prompt.

  5. an toll-free telephone number will appear with a set of numbers generated by Windows and displayed on your screen.

  6. dial the number and follow the automated instructions.

  If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to a representative of Activation.

  Simply explain to the representative the situation and that they will help in the activation of Vista.

  Let us know the results.

• Satellite A350 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello

  Can some guide me in degardin Satellite A 350 from Vista to XP?

  Hello!

  And what do you know?

  If you want to install Windows XP on the laptop, you must only start since the installation of the disk and follow the instructions on the screen everything that s!

  But don t forget to install the SATA drivers. Otherwise I think that your HARD drive will be not recognized.
  And before installing XP you must burn the Toshiba Recovery disk if you didn't already. So, you can restore the factory settings whenever you want.

  Try activation again and choose the telephone option. If automatic activation fails, stay on the line and wait for the man lights up. Explain the situation to the human being and it will activate Vista for you. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Satellite L350 - cannot install Vista and how can I backup my data?

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite L350 and recently I installed Vista Home Premium in another language (the OEM Vista was in English) in the hope I could activate it with the OEM key, but I did not.

  When I tried to re - install the Vista OEM of WinRE I realized I can't access it, and then I got a "brilliant" idea that will format the C partition with Acronis Disk Director he could boot to WinRE. There can be no.

  Fortunately, I have burned before recovery disks. The only problem is that the whole HARD disc recovery disc formats and I have data on the second partition that I would like to recover.

  I tried to install Vista retail again to save the data of the second partition (Yes, I'm a fool, I did not before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with an underscore will blink.

  I really need that data, please help!

  Hello!

  I can tell you why you can t install a version of Vista with product key. It's pretty easy because the button on the lower side on the laptop belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used by a commercial version.

  However, I think the best way to back up your data would be that you put the HARD drive in an external HARD drive enclosure, and then you can back up your data on another PC or laptop.
  These cases of disc HARD external are cheap but very useful.

• Satellite L500 - cannot activate the WLAN on FN + F8

  Hello to all users of Toshiba, Ii'm new to computers laptop Toshiba, this one beeing my 1st and iIhave a well-known problem, I read on the internet.

  I recently bought a Satellite L500-13W. It has Realtek Wifi and comes with Vista OS. I deleted Vista OS since I have the license to the retail of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 top intalled. All work well, Audio, video, everything outside the wireless card. I enabled from the BIOS and everything and yet when I press FN + F8 it does not activate. The drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings the upgrade of drivers. He said that the card works fine, but it does not turn on and search for Wifi signals. The Orange of the WIFI led does illuminate not.

  If anyone has a solution for this problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know what can be the problem, the software or the hardware.

  Advice me please. Thank you.

  Hi Darius1990,

  > Drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings upgrade drivers
  This means that you have installed the Windows update WIFI driver and no official site of Toshiba, right?
  Well, in this case, I would try the prétestées WLAN driver from Toshiba. So you can make sure that it s not a WLAN driver related problem. Just check the WLAN from Toshiba Portal:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  Have you tested other FN keys combination?
  If they don t work too you must install the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards because these two tools to control the function FN key and are important to use them correctly.

• Satellite L305D - cannot HARD - Vista disk partition

  I have a new PC laptop toshiba Satellite L305D which I'm unable to partition.
  It works under windows vista.

  I released the hard drive up to 74 GB of capacity of 120 GB.
  Recently, I used utility partition paragon that signals the related files and is so unable to make the partition.
  The narrowing of Vista utility does not display again whatever it is, it appears as 0.

  Hello

  What kind of partitions you now exactly?

  Perhaps you can post a screenshot of the Vista disk management utility because I m a bit confused now. You wrote about 74 GB of free space and Vista doesn't show anything

  I hope this can help you a bit:

• Satellite A350 - cannot disable Touchpad

  Hello

  I bought my new computer A350 laptop 3-4 weeks ago and I'm loving the sound QUALITY!

  In any case, I want to disable the mouse pad, but I can't. I have the guid of the user on my laptop, that says: Touchpad: by pressing FN + F9 toggles the function of touch pad. Unfortunately it does not work! When I press it nothing happens, I don't see a change in the touchpad icon, which apparently, so well done must have a big red X or something like that, but again, this does not happen.

  I also looked at the properties of the mouse of my mouse, and when I select the Advanced tab, then move the settings of the feature..., under the touch pad settings, there is no option to disable that is extremely strange. There is another button of parameters for what can I press on, but there is no option to turn it off.

  What should I do to disbale the touchpad, because at the time of writing these, pressing FN + F9 does not work?

  > Hi, thanks for the response. I am running Windows vista Service Pack 1 Home Premium that was already installed when I bought it. I don't know if I'm running the factory settings, nor have I ever heard of this?

  If you use the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba, then you use Notepad with the settings ;)

  In your case I would recommend reinstalling the touchpad driver; Synaptics and Alps Electric.
  In addition, there is a utility called tool Support Flash Cards.
  This module is an essential component of Windows systems and it is necessary to other original programs for TOSHIBA to work properly.

  The relocation of the VAP (value added package) is also recommended.

• Satellite P200D - cannot install Vista SP1

  I tried times serval update to Service Pack 1 of Vista. After that time of serval downloads, laptop installs Service Pack 1. After that serval hours windows update gives an answer that update is not possible with a message that is not explained by Windows.

  What is the problem with the update?

  Hello

  If you cannot update the SP1 then your Vista is confused upward or SP1 is already installed.

  How have you tried to update the SP1? Have you downloaded it from the MS page made one then you perform the update or have you used the Windows Update option in the Panel?

  In your case, I recommend to check first if SP1 is installed.
  If it was not installed, then rub the BONE using the free CCLeaner tool.

  If you want to update the SP1 version, and then try again.

  If that does not help then retrieve the operating system using the Toshiba drive and then try to upgrade Vista to the last State.

• Satellite L300 - cannot install Vista - HARD drive not detected

  My laptop model is Satellite L300. Model No.: PSLB0E-06U01HAR.

  I am facing problem with Windows Vista Home Basic.
  In the middle of the instalation, it does not detect the hard drive.
  Its shows me the error that is your hard drive erased or not connected the power cable.

  But I installed the operating system like UBUNTU successfully opened.

  Let me know how to solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Did you include the SATA driver?
  If this is not the case, this could be the reason why the HARD drive is not detected.

  However, you can disable the AHCI in the BIOS and it could spend in compatible mode. In this case the SATA driver is not important

• Satellite P755 - cannot activate WLan using Fn + F8

  Hey

  I have a toshiba Satellite P755 and I don't know why, but my button WiFi by touch and pressing Fn + F8 doenst work more and I can't use WiFi now to enter the internet

  I tried to install the latest driver / wirless battery, display and others and the value of the entire too and still does not work

  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  You use the Windows 7 system?
  Other FN keys work correctly?

  Please check first if the special function mode key does not affect the functionality of the FN button.
  In BIOS-> Advanced-> system configuration, you can find the special function key option mode. It allows you to use the function keys without pressing the FN key.

  Where this is not the problem, you must reinstall the Toshiba VAP for Win 7 as well as the utility of Support Flash Cards for Win 7

  After this reboot of the laptop.

• Satellite A350 - cannot order the Win 7 Upgrade - problem of credit card

  To the right,.

  I bought a laptop, A350, in 2009 and ordered to Windows 7 using the www.toshibawin7upgrade.com program, but I couldn't get anything from anywhere until today.

  Recently, I asked the delivery during 2 months nothing delivered, but the team behind this program cancelled my order. (Order No.: 4440058036)

  Day before yesterday, I ordered again (order No.: 4440124899) but this time another email was sent on my credit card because they could not charge the card so that they are not able to send the Windows 7 upgrade.
  In addition, it is mentioned to get in touch with the service the customer in Turkey, but the phone number provided on the page does not work.
  I don't know that my credit card works because I order a lot of stuff from other Web sites in the world.

  Almost 3 months ago, I still don't know where to contact them and how to order the Windows 7 upgrade.

  I hope that during the purchase of computer A350 laptop brand TOSHIBA, but today I am considering my decision isn't true at all.

  Please tell us how to deal with which to order Windows 7 upgrade as announced at the sale of portable for the A350.

  Kind regards
  ALP

  Hello

  For me, it looks like there are some problems with the credit card.
  Who knows what makes you wrong maybe that you have entered the right number or missed something maybe, there is another problem with your credit card
  In my opinion, you should get in touch with your Bank and should ask what could be the problem

  Here are the other Toshiba page where you could ask a support team for assistance if a problem with Win 7 upgrade kit would appear.

• Satellite A200 - cannot use Vista after the recovery of the product

  Hello. I hope someone can help me with the following... This week I had various issues with which follows my laptop a Vista update that system restore did not fix, so I decided to go for a full recovery of product (which I have a complete backup of all my files).

  So far I have used the product recovery on my laptop in the 3 ways I can see (and more than once): without changing the settings, change the settings and maximize the partition, change settings and select advance / expertise.

  Whenever I was able to complete the initialization of windows, create a new user account, etc. Once the Office has been set up, I get a small window with a progress bar and when it's over, I click on the button 'restart '...

  After the reboot, I get the black screen that says Microsoft Corporation with the green progress bar, but he's there for what feels like 'too long '. After a while, I get a black screen with a cursor, then a blue screen for a crash dump.

  If I use F8 and boot mode safe, the system stops the CplIR.sys file, although the hard disk activity seems to be continuing. I turn off after 10 minutes.

  If I use F8 and then select Repair computer... This is what is happening with each option
  -Restore the full windows operating system: after clicking on OK nothing happens.
  -Diagnostics of memory: there is no problem with memory
  -DOS prompt: I run CHKDSK and there is no problem with the hard drive
  -Restart: there is no errors, even if the word diagnosis 'impossible' when he sees, there is no system restore points

  Then on reboot I get the black screen with cursor followed by the crashdump OR if I managed to log in and access my desktop, I get the crash dump, as soon as I try to do something (like open Control Panel).

  Following the instructions found elsewhere, I have tried this after removing the battery, then changing power management options immediately after the initialization of windows (ie. before clicking on the restart button). No change.

  I even ignored the button restart! But still get a crash dump, when I try to do something.

  Any ideas? I've got past (ie. wasted) so a lot of time on this and don't understand what may be wrong after formatting the windows drive image and reloading...

  Hello

  It's very interesting story. I got several notebooks several times but I never noticed anything like that.
  I must say that what you did right and you think appropriately. If I were you I would try exactly the same steps to make it work somehow.
  I do not know which issues you had before, but I imagine that here it's just the problems of software and not important for the operation of the equipment.

  It's really hard to say what can be the problem. What you can try, is somewhere to get facilities Microsoft Vista disk and install naked Vista to see if the same thing will happen again.
  Anyway, the fact is that images of recovery are tested and adapted for each laptop model and if the material is OK there no reason for this kind of behavior.

  Try again with the new installation using Microsoft facilities drive and let us know exactly what is happening.
