• Vista update: he couldn't stop to restart the computer. Help!

  Once more Windows Update restarted the computer, loss of data and working hours.  It is true that this cannot be avoided?  He took over & could not be stopped.

  I was just finishing a long process of renaming & move files on a DVD burning program, when I saw the Windows Update window that displays a countdown to restart.  There are 2 options: (1) restart now & see (2).  But the option to "Defer" is grayed out.  Nothing could be done.

  I saw the site of Windows Update program may restart the computer when the computer has not been used for some time - but the computer has been used nonstop.  The window on the reboot warning do not appear & was rather hidden under ROM burning software

  Any suggestions?  Will be Microsoft to solve this?

  It is not Microsoft.

  Understanding Windows Update and Extras in Windows Vista

  Vista offers four different methods for how Windows Update updates your computer. Below, we explain each method and when this is the recommended setting.

  Install updates automatically (recommended) - if you select this option, then all the critical updates will be automatically downloaded and installed on your computer. These updates will install at the time, you specify the fields to install new updates. This is the recommended option for the majority of people because it ensures that you have all the critical updates installed automatically on your computer.

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Vista will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  Never search for updates (not recommended) - if you select this option, Vista never automatically checks updates. This option should never be selected as it puts your computer are likely to be affected, infected or hacked.

  Choose one of the following Options:

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them

  Look for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them

  Read the news and see which you prefer to use.

  See you soon.

• Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the beginning

  Original title: Vista processor

  Stupid Vista goes to 50% CPU usage and connects the computer for hours after the start.  Cannot run anything with any request of CPU without getting bogged down and crashing.  It is not windows defender, I suspend this service and the machine is ok for another 1/2 hour, them I'm up to 50% of the CPU.  The idle process said Task Manager is > 90%, still indicates 50% CPU usage and the cooling fan looks like a 747 taking off.  Should I just pull the machine and go for Linux, or what?  Cannot run games or whatever it is, totally disgusted with vista of POS and microsoft can it Deep and do not get windows 7, it is probably worse.  Is that all I can turn off to get the same performance than, say, windows 3.1?  It would be preferable to the current situation.  MSCKMA.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Satellite A100-756: browsers close attempt to download files from the Internet

  I bought a Satellite A100-756 just before Christmas and it has been running XP Pro SP2 absolutely fine without any problem.

  I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate this weekend and I can't download files to PC from the Internet using ANY web browser I installed.

  I dropped all the security settings just in case it was the cause of the problem but still can not do.

  If I click on a link to downliad an exe file, for example, the Run/save/Cancel dialog pop up, if I click on RUN it run the application, but if I click on SAVE, the browser closes right down.

  The same thing happens if I'm going to transfer a system file to MySpace or one of my web servers via HTTP.

  I tried IE7 +, FireFox & Opera and all do the same thing.

  It's the exact even if it is a pure install or an upgrade, and the same copy of Vista works fine on all the other machines I have here (I installed to test just in case it's a Vista only bug. it's only the Toshiba that has the problem.)

  Nothing is written to the event logs, or error report.

  Someone at - it ideas?

• Satellite A100 does not power up - LED orange flashing but nothing else

  My Satellite A100 laptop fell on the couch and now wont power up,

  I get a flashing orange LED but nothing else.
  This only happens with the AC adapter is plugged and not with the battery.

  What can I do to solve this problem and what should I watch?

  Hello

  Try to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Wait a while (> 2 hours) and then reconnect the two parts.
  If the laptop still not, will fuel even using a good power adapter and the battery in good condition, the problem could be related to the problem RAM or the motherboard.

  You should also try to delete one (or two modules if you have some spare parts) module of RAM and should try to turn on the laptop.

  Good luck

• Satellite L350 - Vista shows only 2 GB of RAM, but I have 4 GB installed

  I installed 2 two modules expansion memory of 2 GB each to my satellite L350 that works on Windows Vista Premium.
  I bought at Toshiba UK who confirmed that they were the correct modules.

  The System Control Panel icon always indicates RAM 2 GB (not 4GB) memory.
  If I remove one module 2 GB, the system icon of 2 GB (which is correct) said Control Panel.
  I have re-installed the two modules and changed their round in the slots, but the system icon still says 2 GB.

  Hello

  You have 32 bit or 64 bit Vista?

• Re: Satellite A100-011 does not start, a black screen at the beginning

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-011, which is almost 5-6 years. It suddenly started to behave abnormal.

  First of all, I started to get a 1-2 sec black screen when he was running. The screen was on and off occasionally.

  After a few days, I could not started upward from my windows xp sp3 operating system. I tried to start in safe mode with networking to see if I had a few spy, virus or something. I ran avast, hijact, ad-aware and some more, but not found anything.

  Later, I tried to format my laptop with a xp professional, but this time I can't see any reflection that passes more fun running and a black screen. I just got a black screen at the beginning and it does not start.

  I plugged on a television screen, and here I have started. I have re-installed all the drivers and formatted, but all I get is a black screen on my laptop at the beginning.

  What should I do now? Do you think I have a problem with my screen of HW or a driver problem with nvidia geforce go 7600? Maybe I'm missing something?

  Thanks in advance for all replies.

  If you can see the picture on the TV there are a few s laptop display problem. Y at - it some problem connection or display itself.

  You want to fix it yourself? You can disassemble the laptop?
  I mean if you have any experience with this kind of things that you should seek professional help.

• Satellite A100-906 - BIOS see 4 GB of RAM but BONE only 3 GB

  The [Manual: 20569 http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&PRODUCT_ID=1 & DISC_MODEL = 1] says that the laptop supports 4 gigabytes of memory and displays the BIOS, but the (x86_64) operating system sees only 3 gigabytes.

  Than me?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Have you checked this using Windows 64 bit OS?
  Fact is that the BIOS recognized the full 4 GB of RAM. The chipset seems to support the 4 GB RAM as well.
  If the BONE is the last reason why all of the 4 GB are not recognized.

  And the sound card is in the Device Manager? There are some yellow exclamation points?

  Before installing the new drivers, you must remove the old drivers first. This means remove the older version of the driver and the software, and then restart the laptop. Use CCleaner to clean the registry and restart. After this installation, the latest driver from Toshiba Europe page.
