Satellite L500D & flight sim

I'm enjoying using the simulator of flight FSX MS on my laptop (do not have a desk top more}
After reviewing some of the specifications in the driver PC magazine to customize a PC for the use of flight sim, it seems quite scary that my little computer is doing as good a job (although it could be much better given the correct material)
It is... am I harming my laptop with continuously running FSX? ...*. Alan +.

  • Installation of recovery image on Satellite L500D

    Am trying to re - install windows 7 on Satellite L500D. I'm having all kinds of problems with the computer because it has been infected by malware or viruses, don't know that. I have already backed up all my documents, photos and files pst on an external hard drive.

    I press '0' when the power and then got the following options.

    First option is 32 or 64 bits,
    I chose 32 that the vehicle has currently 32-bit installed.
    Warns next option, I selected Yes.
    Next option is factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-the-box). or erase the hard drive, I chose the default settings restoring.
    Then there's 3 options,
    1 recovery of out-of-the-box-state (System Recovery Options include).
    2. recovery without changing hard drive partitions, or
    3. recover to custom size partition. I thought I chose Option 1, but it shows all partitions will be deleted and you will lose all data on the hard drive.

    This means that I will delete the windows installs partition?
    Choose option 2?
    Option 2 says "the first partition is deleted and you will lose all data on the partition. I am thinking 2 option?

    On a separate issue, I could install the 64 bit version of Windows, if so it would be an advantage?

    Hello

    I recommend you to use the version of 64-bit operating system.

    Can also see a blue screen with writing on for a split second when it s doing so. I scanned my computer and used windows security virus protector and nothing shows?
    While it wrong and why is it doing so. I tried to restore the system at the end of week, but there are a few points of restore zero a few months ago.

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not possible to say with certainty what can be the problem.
    I put t know what that service with your laptop, but if you still have this problem and still best option for you is to check the functionality with the settings.

    In other words, all your data backup and install the operating system using Toshiba original image DVD or recovery recovery if you have a. Believe me this is the best thing you can do about it.

  • Satellite L500D Pro - Solution for drivers HD4100

    Problem:
    After a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit on the of Satellite L500D Pro vor of the Radeon 4100 drivers cannot be installed.

    Solution:
    Just take the 32-bit Windows 7 Toshiba Support drivers and everything works fine.

    I spend my afternoon to find a solution to this and although I found many people with the same problem, there is no answer except 'no install windows from the CD of restoration' - which is absolutely no solution!
    Then I tried everything that I could imagine and take the 32-bit package has been the salvation.

    It should also work on other laptops with the same graphic card.

    Hi Eroghor,

    Thanks for sharing this information with us. It s very useful! :)

    But why is no recovery disk? It of best that you can do. Pick you up at the factory with all the drivers and tools. So you don t have any problems with the installation of the driver, and you can have fun with Notepad. :)

    This laptop has an ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics chip, which could be too underpowered to run intensive 3D games.

    Personally, I'd go for a model that can handle better 3D games like the Satellite A500 or P500 series.

  • Satellite L500D - update BIOS, covered by warranty?

    Hi, I bought a Satellite L500D in September of last year. The weekend comes, he suggested I should keep the machine etc. updated drivers so I logged on the Toshiba web site and there was a link with * New * Bios Update, i.e. After choosing the etc. good model from the dropdown boxes.

    The update seemed to work however when the machine is re-start, he went through the boot process closed however it has not started up.

    I tried to choose the boot in SafeMode etc and tried to reinstall the backup CD, but I can't get the machine to start. I have now put the machine in to authorized service center for Toshiba to fix.

    As I followed the instructions on the web site of Toshiba is that this should be covered by the warranty?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I never ordered this support, but maybe you should mention it in the order details.
    However, if you get this recovery disk so I guess, you should have some contact, email addresses or phone numbers, etc. in the package.
    Get in touch with these guys here and request the 64-bit version.

  • Satellite L500D: What version of Win7 should I choose: 32-bit or 64-bit?

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L500D and early upward he asks in the recovery menu of the product to choose the 32-bit version of Windows 7 or Windows 7 64-bit version.

    I don't really know what option I have to be selected.

    Can some please help?

    Hello

    It s your choice either version you choose! ;)

    But if you have 4 GB or more RAM installed I suggest to choose the 64-bit version. Only this version can handle 4GB or more of RAM.

    If you n t have 4 GB of RAM, you can choose the 32-bit version. Some older applications require a 32 bit OS.

    Have fun with your new laptop! :)

  • Can satellite L500D - I get Vista 64-bit?

    I just buy new computer Toshiba Satellite L500D and I installed Vista 64 bit, but then I realized that some of the programs and games work dosent in 64-bit version of windows.

    Can I still chance it if I recover this window or if I order Windows 7 (a free, I just pay what they send me) can I get it then? Or I can make clear installation and then chanse on 32-bit or install Windows xp and upgrade to Windows 7?

    Hey Buddy

    All first if burn you the Toshiba Recovery disk using the Toshiba Recovery disk you can still restore Vista 64 bit any time you want. This disk contains an image of the factory settings and can be restored if you start from the disc.

    Your question about the different versions of Windows (upgrade, etc) is quite complicated, but theoretically, you can install what you want. An upgrade to Windows 7 is possible if you are using Vista, update on XP isn t possible. In addition, you can pass only to the same version, which means that Vista 32 bit can only be upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit to 64-bit only.
