  Hi KevinRy,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Unplug all external devices.

  Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

  1.	Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
  2.	Click the Advanced tab.
  3.	Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
  4.	Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
  5.	Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

  Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

  Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A200-1AD - downgrade from Windows XP Home edition

  I've read all the other different threads around the upgrade/downgrade to XP, but I have a few questions.

  1. What do I need to change the BIOS before I start to replace Vista by XP or can I wait until I loaded the base XP and then make the BIOS change?

  2. If I try and update the BIOS for XP and it crunches the laptop is covered by the warranty?

  If the 2 answer is Yes, then I'll save a step by step process that I do to change the operating system from Vista to XP. Any help much appreciated.

  Hello Ken

  All I know is some BIOS designed for Windows XP Home edition for computer series laptop Satellite A200. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my A200 but some FN keys do not work properly. Other stuff works well and WXP turns quite quickly.

  I recommend installing WXP without updated BIOS to see if there is a serious problem. If this is not the case, leave such BIOS what.

• Can someone give me instructions on how to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium?

  Re-install Vista Home Premium

  Microsoft gave me this web address, they said you could provide me w/step by step instructions on how to reinstall my Vista Home Premium... looks like my windows crashes once AGAIN...

  Hello

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs).

  Vista ultimate is available. Read the information in the lower part of the message on how to use it for other editions of Vista:

  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

  And here are instructions on how to burn ISO disk images:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/isorecorder.html

  The download links and information on how to make the ISO file, and then create the Setup DVD above are at this link:

  "How to download a Vista ISO and create a Setup DVD or USB"

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/301852-Vista-ISO-download-create-installation-DVD-USB.html

  "How to create a USB of Vista Installation key '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/181538-USB-bootable-Vista-installation-Flash-thumb-drive.html

  ___________________________________

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  ___________________________________

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  ___________________________________

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  ___________________________________

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can borrow and use a DVD Vista Microsoft (selling retail or OEM System Builders License), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  The COA sticker is either or in the battery compartment on the underside of the laptop.

  With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

  

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions different DVD lights.

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Satellite L40 - no sound after reinstalling Windows XP Home edition

  I really need help from anyone out there. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my Toshiba Satellite L40 after that I realized, there is no sound. I tried to install all kinds of updates, drivers and all, but still nothing.

  All make me is that I have no audio device.
  Grateful for the help as soon as possible.
  Holla.

  Do you have the yellow marks in Device Manager?
  Are you sure that you have installed all the drivers?

  Have you installed SP2 or SP3 for Windows XP? You must at least use SP2 for XP.

  And as said Akuma, check the Microsoft KB to the hoftixes. Before you apply this update, you must remove the driver. Otherwise it will not work.

  You can also search in the forum, there are already discussions on this topic.

  Hi LarryHoezee,

  • What is the reason to reinstall Windows XP on the computer?

  There is a possibility that the Windows XP installation CD is damaged or system Bios is not properly defined.

  I suggest that you check if the Windows XP installation CD works fine on another computer.

  If the installation CD works fine on another computer then I suggest that you contact Dell technical support to reset the default Bios settings.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Hi Bobby Collas,.
   
  You must have a copy of the installation CD without which you can not re - install the OS again.
   
  If it were an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) installation, you can restore the factory settings. Contact the manufacturer to do the same.
   

• Reinstall Windows 7 Home Edition Basic, is not installation media

  Original title: can someone help me

  I have WINDOWS 7 HOME BASIC 64 - bit version of license with key in my laptop. I want to reinstall my windows but don't have CD or DVD.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• Satellite L40-139 - need driver Windows XP Home edition for 'ethernet '.

  Please can you send me the link to Satellite L40 ethernet control model of laptop for Windows XP Home edition?

  Hello

  Satellite L40-139 belongs to the PSL40E series. Am I wrong?
  You can check the serial number of your laptop. It should be placed somewhere at the bottom of the unit. Check all labels.

  Anyway, the Toshiba driver European page doesn't provide XP drivers for this series at this time. Seems you have to wait a bit until all pilots to be released!

  For the only moment that two versions of the BIOS for L40 PSL40E if released.
  The BIOS must be updated to the XP version, if you want to use XP on this laptop.

  By the way; It seems that this series is supported by the Base map - TX Ethernet Realtek 10/100.
  Then you can try the LAN driver from the site Web of Realtek. Should also work.

  Good bye

• Why the Satellite A100 PSAAN drivers of Windows XP Home edition?

  I won't work with vista all the time but Toshiba makes me use all the time because they do not support drivers for Windows XP Home edition. And I have to work with WXP because vista does not work with some programs that I need and that is not good.

  I need them immediately and I still ask why the drivers for Windows XP Home edition are not there?

  Hi Duge

  As you update and upgrade are typical in PC world and these processes have priority and are definitely looking to the future. Downgrade still isn't back. It is also important but has no priority as upgrade.

  I assume that upgrade supported for all mobile phones capable of Vista is not yet complete. I'm pretty sure that new notebook will build for Windows XP Home Edition, but it may take a little time. Be patient. You can also view other topics on this technical forum. You will find lots of useful information about OS downgrade.

  Bye and good luck!
