Satellite A660 - slow start after installing Win7

I have an A660. Satellite (model aus)

I installed the 64 bit version of windows 7 and starting to take more than a minute. I was wonderign if I used a retail drive and used the serial number at the back of the computer laptop would it not be a better facility.
Then, I would install just the stuff I need.

Also, so I use a commercial version would drive recovery based HARD stop working? (because the commercial version may overweite some entries written in the section the drive boot HARD-now if I press 0 he goes to setup - if rerail version replaces this function would stop working?)

Thanks heaps.

Each Toshiba laptop comes with the Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image contains several specific Toshiba and utility tools that begin with OS and also some additional software.

What you need now is the right configuration. With other words, you can remove the unnecessary software from the system and stop all applications, you need the startup list t.
How to do this?
Press WIN + R > write msconfig and confirm with OK. The system configuration will be open. Go to the Startup tab and clear the check box in front of app you n t need initially to the top.

Of course, you can install a clean version of the OS, but for product activation, you can use the product key from the sticker. This license is for the version of Windows that you have with your laptop.
HDD recovery works with the factory only settings. When you install the clean operating system, you will not be able to start. What you need to do is to create recovery DVDs after Toshiba s instruction how to do this.

If you have any other questions please let us know.

  • Satellite U300-14Z - no sound after installing WIn7

    Hello!
    I have the problem (series Satellite PSU30E) next: laptop computer was Windows XP, who suddenly "fallen" and again once it has not issued (as explained by problem SATA drivers). I installed Windows 7 64 bit, but after installing it turned out that the * Device Manager has no audio device *. I reinstalled the system, is now a Windows7 Ultimate x 86 license.

    All options work, but the sound did not always appear. Installing the drivers doesn't help - * OS still does not see a sound card *. What could be the tools to solve the problem?

    Hi whooz,.

    Is that what you have already installed the audio driver from Toshiba Web site? As far as I know Satellite U300 supports Windows 7 32 bit then an audio driver should be listed and works because readers are pre-tested by Toshiba.

    But it is also important that you install the chipset driver and should be installed first. So start with installing the audio driver.

    Also, try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

  • Satellite A500 - sounds/images of default system lost after installing Win7

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 with Windows Vista and upgrade to Windows 7. After my installation of Windows 7, I lost all my icons of Toshiba and sounds, as silent image appears so hitting the button mute on the keyboard and the beep on hitting the sound up/down button.

    Before installing, I took a backup of a file from Toshiba and tried to install apps from Toshiba in the TOSHIBA\TOSAPINS folder there. But still not get the default values of the system.

    Would be very grateful if someone could help me to restore those back.

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    I assume you mean on the menu that appears with the FN keys

    Usually after installing Win 7, you must reinstall the VAP (value added package) and utility Support Flash Cards in order to get the keys FN working again.
    You can download the two page from Toshiba Europe tools.

    I m not very good if you get the same sound that was available under Vista as Win 7 takes care of the own system alerts/sounds.

    But after the installation of VAP and Flash Cards Support utility, you should see the images that appear with the FN keys.

  • Satellite C660 - white screen after instalation image recovery

    Strange problem. My Satellite C660D-1FM was a bunch of updates from Microsoft (did not updates for centuries as it was used by my daughter and not connected to the internet) and after completing it restarted and I got the Toshiba splash screen and nothing. Holding F8 gives the same problem, tried turning the key '0' and that was the same. Connected to an external monitor and it's the same thing. I can't get into the BIOS and everything seems fine.

    Then, thinking that the HDD is maybe defective I mounted another drive hard and fully installed Win7 on a Microsoft DVD (SP1 and all updates) and everything works. Then, I thought I try and restore the laptop to factory settings by default using Toshiba DVD recovery which Id created. Worked well during the installation, all the installed DVD 3 and he's gone through the procedure installation, portable got at the end when he tried to restart it, rebooted and now back to the same error - Toshiba start screen is ok, but then he'll just empty. To convince me that I wasn't going crazy I then reinstalled Win7 my DVD of Microsoft and he moved very well, did all the updates and worked all day today with no problem.

    Someone at - it an idea of what's going on?

    Hmmm... something like that shouldn't happen.
    Do you use the recovery disc for the first time?
    Have you noticed the same result on both hard drives?

    Problem is that there is not much to do about it and there is no way to change it either in recovery installation runs, or later during the installation of windows is underway.

    Try to set the BIOS to default settings and simply try to reinstall the recovery image.

  • Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

    I had my * Toshiba Satellite Pro * with * Windows XP * for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and only gave me no problems until a few weeks ago.

    A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it the virus 'Antivir Solutions' very undesirable and unliked. I've done everything I can to get rid of this disaster (with the help of the support forums) and I think that I managed to get rid of it, but since my computer has not been the same.

    I had trouble downloading a PDF document, a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart that caused the computer to have a hissing fit, remove my user account which meant I had to configure everything again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the moment you press the button "ON" when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes every time you click on an icon for the program to start actually...

    I tried to defrag the system and you have tried to uninstall unused programs to speed up the computer, but it did not work.
    I also ran several anti-virus (e.g. Norton, AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure that I don't have wicked not spoil me, but they come clean.

    May I also add the sound is messed up also. If I use the built-in speakers or external speakers, the sound is disjoint and broken. Like any video I have play.

    I don't know what to do.
    I can't really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 of the 24 hours a day...
    * What can I do? *

    Hi nicoletrist,

    I put t know what laptop you have exactly, but I think that the slow start Windows is caused due to viruses you have or had.
    A few years ago I also had a virus and it was causing a very slow start to the top, he did take up to 10 minutes until Windows has been loaded and the only solution to get rid of this used Toshiba recovery disc.

    I would like to recommend you. Use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings and save your data, because everything on the HARD drive will be erased.
    I'm sure after using the laptop recovery disk will work like a charm again! :)

  • Firewall Windows disable the Internet Explorer loads Up after slow start after the installation of Windows updates

    Hello, (this the mystery of on and Off and back on Windows Firewall with slow loading of programs like Internet Explorer as this all is pass it on firewall, disable the firewall, the firewall, it occurs only during starts, after he fine / but very annoying on reboots whom he accuses of my computer down) / listed below is the cause of it , and when she first started, you have a solution?

    I recently installed the last 16 (High Profile) updates to security, for most security updates and updates from net framework as well as the removal of malware for windows XP tool.

    After installing these updates, now my Windows Firewall turns off during 'Boot Up' on all restarts. If I try to load Internet Explorer, it will also not load up to minutes serveral / while this happens... That's fine, then finally my firewall itself loads Up quickly turns to Internet Explorer and back on during this time around the same time.

    After these updates these things are happening on my computer now, it's as if there is a process running, but nothing run any virus, Trojan or worm etc just these updates caused this problem. I don't know if it updates is corrupt or not, but have tried different things as system file checker /scan etc with no luck.

    (1) computer boots to the top and seems to Load Up Fine ' until the ' or 'Look at this' but isn't, something is running in the background or process "wing unstalled" is obviously "unhooked", etc..

    2) try to load Internet Explorer last minutes and is very slow to load up, even if I 'don't load Internet Explorer' must still a long while that as in the firewall turn off for awhile some several «minutes» (way too long), before "auto turn on automatically return.

    (3) turns firewall Windows itself on "finally" as Internet Explorer finally loads upwards as well the two Internet Explorer is able to load 'definitely' and the firewall is on "finally" as many minutes later as listed above, at the same time.

    This could be the cause? Only, it has begun to 'After' I ran windows update and installed the 'most recently high security updates for windows XP' there were 16 listed mainly security updates and updates of net framework as well as the software removal tool windows malware.

    That's all that is changed on my system, I tried many things, nothing seems to fix this problem with my computer. I know for a fact that these updates are the cause, but am not sure that you caused it? Or how do to solve this problem, any sugguestions would be appreciated.

    Please answer questions following diagnosis by number in your very next answer (no need to quote this post):

    1. what application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  • Features of HDX18t not recognized after installing Win7

    After a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate, Device Manager reports three devices Base system without driver and two unknown devices (ACPI\ENE0100 * ENE0100) and (USB\VID_138A & PID_0001 & REV_0372 USB\VID_138A & PID_0001).

    As far as I know, all the USB ports work correctly, as does everything that I tested (some ports that I don't use).  I assume that ACPI has something to do with power management, but I can't find any other indications of power problems - well that I had to replace the battery not long before installing Win7 because it was not supported.

    What are these five devices, and how can I find the drivers - especially for the three who seem not to identify?

    I tried to use the tool "automatically find your products and solutions ', but it does not load in the latest version of SeaMonkey, and with IE9, it seems to start but shows no progress after more than an hour.

    Any suggestions?
