Satellite A100-593: should I install 64-bit or 32-bit Win Vista version

A100-593 Centrino Duo T2300, 1 GB of RAM FSB 533

I have already installed the 32-bit version. Everything works fine.

But I read 64-bit can give problems with portable computer equipment (lack of 64-bit drivers)

http://www.tech-recipes.com/microsoft_vista_tips1426.html

on the laptop is marked vista capable, but that does not mean that pilots are ready for 64-bit.

where is the constant pleasure you receive error messages that a certain hardware driver is not signed. Or you can not burn a dvd or listen to your sound card...

Someone out there with positive ratings...?

Hello

As far as I know the Satellite A100-593 shipped with an Intel Core Duo (Yonah) CPU T2300 1.66 GHz.
According to information I found on this page does not support the CPU 64-bit (EM64T)
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core
I think that it is better to use the 32-bit version

However, the fact is that Windows Vista is not official on the market right now.
In this case there is no assurance that Vista OS will work without any problems on the laptop.

  • can I switch from 32-bit win vista home prem 64-bit win vista home prem?

    can I switch from 32-bit win vista home prem 64-bit win vista home prem?

    Yes, you can, but you need to back up and do a custom installation. There is no place on the way to upgrade from Windows Vista 32 bit to 64 bit.

    Installation and relocation of Windows Vista
    Back up your files - Microsoft Corporation: software, Smartphones...

    Boot from the Windows Vista DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows Vista click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Satellite A100 - who drivershould I install for PCMCIA?

    Hello

    The PCMCIA controller on my laptop Satellite A100-326 is Texas instruments, but I can't find the exact model or the Toshiba drivers for it.
    It indicates that the driver is Microsoft. I would like to try the one from texas.

    I try this because I bought a PCMCIA - card parallel card and I need to change the port for the lpt1 port address, because I have a software that writes to the physical address of the port lpt1 0378.

    Because vista doesn't let me do that, I thought to use vmware, but when I try to install the PCMCIA card it asks for drivers, that I don't have...

    Thank you

    Ricardo

    Hello

    There is no driver for PCMCIA slot and if you install the right chipset driver should work fine and be ready for use. It also means that the entries in the PCMCIA Device Manager must be as comfortable. Who s the fact.

    So if you bought a PCMCIA card and can't use it, please make sure you have good driver for this card and for any other problem, contact the manufacturer of the PCMCIA card.

  • Where should I install Office remotely 6.1 for Windows Vista?

    I need to install Remote Desktop 6.1 - I can only find a link to download for XP, but I am on Vista...

    The XP version very well or is anyone know where are the address for download of Vista?

    Thank you, Nick

    I don't think that there is a version of Vista.  Do NOT use the XP on Vista version - it can cause all sorts of problems, not only with remote desktop, but with all of the operating system - possibly to the point where you may have to reinstall the whole system.

    Vista includes the remote desktop (on some versions, but not all).  Here's how to enable it:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/.  Why should you get this particular version?  What you try to do that the version of Vista can not do?  If you have a version that doesn't include remote desktop, there is no download to add it to this version.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A100 - how to re-install the package of value added?

    I had a problem with the crash of flashcards since I got my A100 is about 2 years. Today, I finally downloaded the update to the VAP and tried to install it. I received an error message telling me to remove the old VAP first. When I try to do via the Control Panel, the installation program seems to work according to the Manager of tasks (uninstaller?) but the progress bar never changes and the silence as computer advice that nothing is really happening. I tried this twice already, leaving to run for 30 minutes each time.

    I have 3 questions:

    1. can I update the VAP otherwise?
    2. can I solve the problem of flashcard otherwise crash?
    3. can anyone the flashcards explain to me in simple terms? Why are important (or useful)? I don't really understand them and never use them but have heard of problems if they are deleted.

    Please respond in terms of novice.
    Thank you.

    Hello!

    As I know the Toshiba value added Package can only be updated if you first remove the old version. I also recommend this way.
    But maybe you should try to remove the added value package with CCleaner. This program cleans the registry and the system. Then install it and clean the system. After this attempt to delete the VAP.
