• Satellite A660 - how to change the 32-bit system too 64 bit

  Howdy!

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A660 i7-2630QM with windows 7 Home premium.

  My problem is Toshiba includes instructions for the first start upward, and he said: I can choose between the 32-bit operating system and 64-bit operating system, but when I turned on the first time he didn't give me any option/choice.

  Now ive got 6 GB memory and can use 4 GB because its too 32-bit system set is an easy way to change it because I don't have a windows disc, all the software is preloaded?

  Hello

  I think that this info is mentioned in the user manual.
  First of all, you can create a with the image of Toshiba recovery disc.
  You must create this disk using the preinstalled software called Toshiba recovery disc creator (or creative recovery Toshiba).

  In addition, there should be a possibility to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive.
  During the recovery of HARD drive, installation should provide an option that allows you to choose between the 32 and 64 bit.

  But just one question: what A660-xxx you have exactly?

  No, my short model is Satellite A660 PSAW3E.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Announces AFAIK, Optimus technology is fully automatic, allowing you to experiment with longer battery life.

  Optimus whitepaper
  http://www.nvidia.com/object/LO_optimus_whitepapers.html

  But I guess you need the nVidia Driver from the original graphics card.
  The Toshiba driver is changed for mobile use. It supports thermal protection that protects the GPU from damage.
  Drivers graphic originals don't support such function.

  However, Toshiba laptops are equipped with an ECO utility and this tool allows you to save battery power as well.

• How to solve the problem with Windows Update on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium SP1; Module Windows install encounter error 126, impossible to run/scannow sfs or TrustedInstaller. Help, please

  Hello

  First of all, thank you in advance for any advice for any help, you can offer.

  A week ago I noticed that Windows Update had a backlog of updates (30-40) as I had it value updates but let me choose whether to install them. As I tried to install, I noticed download election for hours but no visible progress in the taskbar and only a few updates installed on restart. Try to check the updates of similar results. I tried a number of solutions suggested here as a tool for troubleshooting Windows Update, but it made that seem to clear my list of updates to uninstall and make sure Windows Update has been under the impression that I had never checked the updates, apparently a worsening of the problem like today no update appeared and I encountered error 8007000D.

  I've tried other options like Windows system update readiness tool and tried to run the sfc/scannow System File Checker, but what who would not (cannot start service repair) I grew more and more worried. On recommendation from other forums, I tried also to start TrustedInstaller in command prompt, which does not. Unfortunately, I had run a Disk Defrag and clean-up recently which had been deleted and (unbeknownst to me) my last restore point. The root of the problem seems to be the Windows Modules Installer, which does not start when you are prompted in Services (error 126), something wrong with the registry may. So reluctantly, I tried to perform a repair installation using a downloaded iso, I burned onto a DVD (insured was also Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit SP1). However, even if it doesn't seem to work, it is constantly check for installation updates (unless this is supposed to last several hours?) or if I opt not not to check, it pass the compatibility check and then fail in the second stage (collection of files, settings, and programs). I tried several times, once in offline mode with my disabled (Norton) antivirus and once in clean boot mode.

  I don't know what other options I have. I would like to avoid a clean as much as possible installation, because my computer (HP laptop) still seems to operate normally (for the moment) outside the impossibility to install Windows updates (via Windows Update or directly from Microsoft, it seems), but I think it would just leave vulnerable more and more over time. Has anyone else had similar problems and has found a way to solve? I'm not a computer expert so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Try the troubleshooting steps in this link: error message when you start the service installer of Modules of Windows (TrustedInstaller): "system error 126: the specific module could not be found".

• How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

  Nice day

  How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

  with regard to my question above. I need to hold the button of power for 5 seconds to completely shut down my laptop. even restart or sleep does not work well. I upgraded a real victory 8.1 to 10 free victory by that windows app reservation offered. IM using acer aspire v5 - 573 g i7, version gt750m, Finnish keyboard

  solutions, I tried to random searches that did not work for me.
  1 unchecking quick stop to power options
  2 disabling hibernation in cmd (types a code forgot what I have)
  3. update all drivers and bios with sites acer official drivers, driver pack solution 15.8 and utility driver update intels
  4 decommissioning intel management engine components driver 11 to 9.5
  5. go to the bios and reset to the default settings
  6 make a shortcut of "shutdown" with codes e.g. shutdown /s /t 0
  7. click Update stop

  IM thinking of reinstalling windows 10 via recovery which removes applications, files, drivers, etc. and hope this solves. I can't roll back to win 8.1 because ive done this reset before you completely clean out my system of win random 8 and trashes the restore option was gone.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello/Hallo wuschel93,

  exactly what I had. Stop number appears only after a certain time the laptop running.

  The problem is INTEL MANAGEMENT ENGINE RELATED V.11!

  I fixed it with uninstall Intel Management Engine Version 11. Windows will then install version 9.5 automatically. After that I turned off the automatic update of the driver for this device. You can also install 9.5 without uninstalling the old one, it wil crushed.

  Other manufactures also have this problem, but while Acer is still asleep, they provide a solution (including download links):

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/sleep-and-shutdown-issues-after...

  Maybe there are any other issues that result in the same problem. But in most cases, it's the answer. The thread Starter maybe forgotten to disable the automatic driver update or made installation of v9.5 evil?

  Problems of updates Windows XP - how to fix the incorrect Windows XP updates KB2633952 keep asking to install? True, it is that it is already installed on your computer. If hide us, an another previous KB2570791 arises in our updates of Windows and asked to install anything, that it was installed... of the questions repeated and very annoying.  Help, please!

  (Microsoft Answers just sent us message have deleted our previous thread, ask for help!) We are simply not that these problems are problems with Windows XP updates related to DST or not?)

  Nadia. PA supporter said that your computer is hacked. He may be right. I can't weigh because I don't know what led him to this conclusion. If your computer is hijacked, then you should address that more that you need to fix this minor update. However, under the resolution of your problem to update, you can try this:

  Assume Windows XP

  Check the C:\Windows\System32\ directory for the presence of the file tzchange.exe

  If the file is not present or if the version of the file is not 5.1.2600.6171 or newer...

  Download the update appropriate 2633952 for your platform here:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2633952

  Run with - extract switch (e.g., Start > run > "[path to the downloaded file] \WindowsXP-KB2633952-x86-ENU.exe"-x)

  Of course, replace [path to the downloaded file] with the path to the downloaded file.

  Citations may or may not be required depending on the path. Place the x - out the citations if you use them.

  Choose a location for the extracted files (a new folder is recommended)

  Locate the extracted files. File tzchange.exe you want and copy it into C:\windows\System32

  That rerun Windows Update detection to see if the problem is resolved.

• I updated my drivers and now my computer runs very slowly. How to solve the problem?

  I've recently updated my Intel graphics driver and my drivers Nvidia because they were terribly outdated. As a result, I am able to run some games that I couldn't run before, but my computer became very slow. Now, the startup time is significantly slower, and the worst part is that the actual performance of the system is slower. I checked in the Task Manager, and my physical memory constantly rotates between 40 and 60% (I have 8 GB of RAM, Windows 7) without any game or program being open, except the web browser and Skype.

  What is perhaps the reason for this problem? Is certainly the problem in the drivers? How to solve the problem?

  "My graphics card is GEFORCE GTX 660 M. Is it compatible with the latest driver? »

  Ah! A laptop computer. With laptops, it is generally better to download the driver from the mfg, not Nvidia.

  This is because the computer laptop mfg bring changes that can make the improper generic Nvidia driver.

  and while I always count should not slow down the system... You never know.

  "What services I need to run.

  
  Just to keep the correct terminology-

  Services is the area where you stopped the service of bitlocker.

  The start is where you keep things from loading when you start in Windows.

  -Most of the time what's in Startup deactivation is something personal need, but there are some things that

  I must be on the left.

  I leave the Intel common user interfaceand Installshield update service, mainly because I don't bother

  Discover what they are doing.

  I also let anti-virus, Realtek audio, software profile keyboard and a few other things active.

  I don't have Adobe Flash loading with Windows, but I don't use it a lot, and when I do the software that

  uses it it launches automatically.

  The bottom line here is that if you have software that you use all the time, it is more convenient to have it start with

  Windows.

  -Concerning the Services. This also has to do with personal preferences to a certain extent, but most things can be left alone.

  I do not use the Services tab in the Configuration of the system, because I think it's only a one time adjustment.

  (Clean boot, linked earlier, is the best tool for the verification of conflicts with Services)

  To stop or disable a Service manually, tap - services.msc - in the run command to open

  the main window of Services.

  There is an Adobe Flash update in Services that should be kept, but when Adobe makes an update

  I select the option notify me, but not to install it automatically.

  I always preferred this with any updates, including Windows updates as there is less chance of a corrupt

  Update If you're aware, it happens and do not do something intensive system while the update is being installed, particularly when an update requires a restart to complete.

  -Registry. In the control run, type - regedit - and browse the registry with the file path in the

  previous post and follow the instructions. You can save the key you are modify if you wish, that the use of the

  backup to change the value to what is current would be faster than navigating to the key again.

  -When playing around with things you are not familiar with creating a System Restore point before you

  making these changes is a good insurance policy.

  If you don't know how to create a system restore point - time to do some research.

  In fact, all of the above is covered by tons of tutorials out there in the www.

  SSD vs HDD - the specifications of the system for you the machine should be in your user manual or on the

  MFG web site.

  Prefetch is useful with HARD drive, because it improves performance somewhat, but read-ahead is not really necessary with SSD.

  and can reduce the life expectancy SSD a bit (there is debate on gravity)

  More research for more details. D

  -If you use a HARD disk and that you have enabled Prefetch, the Prefetch will be rebuilt over time, if you delete the files.

  -Here's another tip for when you are not sure of the impact of deleting files.

  Rename file/folder. You can do something like add another couple of P to the front, or a 1a which will move

  the file to the top of the window. If nothing is wrong in the next few days, you can delete the folder.

  This method protects to empty the trash accidentally and lose the file/folder.

  -Speaking of deleting the file. A great TEMP folder can slow things way down.

  Run Windows, Disk Cleanup . This will remove many files in the Temp folder.

  Or, for a full, clean, go to the - your User\AppData\Local\Temp

  Open the Temp folder and delete anything that can be deleted (impossible to delete the files that are used).

  -Defragment your HARD drive

  -Run the Zig - zag Kit you'd use again and analyze the results.

  It was a long, huh!
