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?

    Imagine that you have an image in the castmember, named "yourface.
    You have checked the depth in the message box:

    You will see the image easily changed to 8-bit image.
    BUT IT'S NOT SCRIPTING

    SCRIPTS:

    Member ("yourface"). Depth = 8

    I tried to do a blank image to 8 bits, then copypixel 32-bit image in one, but my face become RED and GREEN.

    How to make the script and have the GOOD RESULT YOU modify > convert to 8-bit bitmap > dithering? Thank you for your help.

    Copy of pixels has the property of dithering. Here are a few notes on this topic:

    Using the option to dither with copypixels.

    The copypixels command can accept a property of #Dither option. The two valid values for this property that I know are 1215 and 1969.

  • How to change the location of system restore

    Hi, I can't understand WHERE W8 stores the System Restore Points that I create, so I created a 500 GB Partition on a disk external DRIVE that I would like to use to save files to the system restore and my question is WHERE in W8 can I CHANGE the location of system restore?
    Thank you for your help,
    Bob

    Thank you guys, so I'm stuck with having food on my 'C' drive
    Now I have to find a way to DEVELOP (increase in size) if the 'C' Drive to accommodate the pints of restore (I think they take a LOT of space).
    Thanks again for your help,
    Bob

    Hi Bob

    As Entegy said, you can set the maximum amount of space that system restore is allowed to use.

    The size of each Restore Point will depend on what has changed since the last restore point was created. Only the files that have changed will be saved in each restore point. Each restore point depends on the subsequent restore points.

    These restore points are also used when you select this option to restore a previous Version of a particular file or folder.

    You can also use the latest cleaning disc to remove all but restore point tool. This will immediately release a lot of disk space.

  • Satellite A660 - how to enable the nVidia Optimus technology

    Is there a solution to market the technoogy optimus in my notebook?
    I have intel i3 330 m and Geforce GT 330 M - and the two are bound by Optimus, but find it deosnt work at all :/

    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.

  • Satellite L300: How to change the language of Vista

    Hi all

    I'm no expert, but my daughter bought a Satellite L300 in Germany with Vista Home Premium preinstalled in German!

    It is possible (and easy) to change it in English.

    Thanks in advance

    Well, it might be possible to change that, but it's not easy!

    First if you want to change the language of the OS, you need to download a Pack of MUI (MUI) on the Microsoft Web site.

    Unfortunately these Multilingual User Interface Pack is only supported by Vista Enterprise and Ultimate for Vista. So if you use the Home Premium version you will have to upgrade to Vista Ultimate and then to install the MUI or you will buy an English copy of Vista.

    How can I change the function of my buttons in Media Player on top of my laptop?
    I know that if you go to Toshiba Assist, optimize, Support Button, you can change the function of certain keys, but the only options I have are the keys Mute and the CD/DVD.

    I am trying to make the button media player opens iTunes, not WMP and even for play/pause, stop, fast forward and rewind.

    Even if I'm here, I have a problem with my Ctrl + 1 never work. I can't spend the first tab of firefox or aim. I can't do a group control 1 when you play. Anyone know why/how can I fix it?

    Hey,.

    If you press the button on the media player, only Windows Media Player or DVD Toshiba player can be started and not iTunes. This configuration is not possible. As you can read in the user's manual, only these programs can be started.
    Then the other multimedia keys work correctly, and you can use it with media player?

    Concerning your other question:
    I would try to clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust cooling fans and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.
