Kind regards.

  • Updated Firefox updated to its latest version 12.0. Now my plugin Adobe Flash freezes and blocks all websites when it is turned on even if it's the latest version.

    Today updated Firefox updated to its latest version 12.0. Immediately after the update, I couldn't load most of the sites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the latest version of the plugin, I always have problems. Any suggestions?

    If anyone else has this problem I found a few options that may help you.

    I solved my problem by loading Waterfox, which is the 64-bit version of Firefox. I use a Windows 64-bit operating system, so this solution worked perfectly. If you want to download it, it can be downloaded here: http://waterfoxproject.org/

    It has also been suggested that I try to create a new Firefox profile. Since Waterfox works for me, I have not tried yet; However, I was told that it allows to solve several mysterious questions of Firefox with Flash. The directions for this can be found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

    I hope everyone can solve their problems of Flash Player and I recommend using the Adobe Forums as well. People there are very helpful.

  • I update my Firefox latest version 32.0, and now I can not upload anythink, can you help me

    I think that last week, I update my Firefox latest version 32.0, and now I can not upload anythink, can you help me - in more detailed - when I try to download a file and save it to my pc it remains on 99%, write the time unknown and not donwload, that is even if I try to open and file - means 'open' clieck not records. I try with different brouzer and quote different and everythink work very well. Problem is only on firefox. I try and that "in the address bar, type about: config and press ENTER." The subject: config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
    Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about: config page. A list of parameters must appear
    Filter the list by typing in the search bar at top. Enter scanWhenDone. Now you should find the preference "browser.download.scanWhenDone".
    Double-click this preference to set the value to false. "
    But still a problem.

    It's the recent9 b 32.0 and it has been fixed and will be in the build 32.0 then, probably the RC1 build 32.0 if normally such a fix would be a beta version as 32.0b10.

  • Tecra A8-185 - the update of the BIOS under Windows 7?

    Hi again,

    I have a question how update of the BIOS under Windows 7 ultimate x 64. I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS for my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A8-185 PTA83E). After having unpacked there is only the .exe file.

    When I try to run this file, he said, that my OS is not supported. When I run it in compatibility mode (with Vista or XP), it starts the upgrade, but gives me an error: "the BIOS upgrade is failure (8). BIOS is not able on this configuration. "What should I do? I really need a new BIOS.

    Can I run it at the start of the USB key, or whatever?

    Hi offi55

    Why do you need a new BIOS? You may notice some problems with the laptop or why are you trying to update?

    However, I think that the update should only be done on the pre-installed Windows version (XP or Vista). I guess that this update n t tested and designed to update Windows 7 so I think that would be the reason why you can t.

    So to install Windows from the Toshiba Recovery disk and try to update again. It should work.

  • Spectrum of HP x 360 (Lake of set): error during the update of the Bios (c2-error: the region is write-protected)

    Just got the new spectrum x 360 with processor i7 to set Lake.  I love most everything on it, but it's hot in the upper left corner, and temperatures are in the order of 80-90 during a normal charge.  Research of solutions possible and a common solution seems to ensure that the Bios is updated.

    HP Wizard jumped by chance in a message on a Bios updated available.  Perfect timing, so I thought.  Update downloaded BIOS ok, but during the installation, I got the error c2-error message: region is write protected.

    Reflection on the update of the Bios?  I know that one of the recommendations is not not to date Bios at least that something does not work.  Everything seems to work fine, but I think I should update it Bios to see if it solves the problem of heat.  Thoughts on that?

    Thank you.

    Thank you.   It's the strangest thing.  Despite having the error message above and the Bios update process pretending stops, when I rebooted hours later, the Bios updated.  I checked, and it is now the latest version.

    Guess my problem is solved.

  • Tecra M10 - update of the BIOS says "this computer is not supported.

    Recently refurbished a M10 - 10I to reinstall the operating system. WinXP install at all so I try to update the BIOS as it seems quite old (V1.5). Most recent version (and is available) for this machine seems to be V3.0. Download and try to run the file "P0065V300" and get the message:

    Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.3.0
    This computer is not supported

    What can I do? Its supposed to be for this model!

    Also, prefer a version of boot drive, but hey, I can use a version of Windows, assuming that it runs on Win7.

    Hello

    Tecra M10 - 10I belongs to the series of PTMB1E and according to the page of the Toshiba UE driver, BIOS v3.00 - WIN is the latest BIOS version which is available for this model.

    The BIOS update requires a few additional tools Toshiba as VAP (additional package for Win 7)

    If this driver isn't installed, the update of the BIOS would not work.

  • Satellite Pro C660 bricked by update of the BIOS that failed

    My sister asked me to update his laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-16N; The part number PSC0ME-01S00SEN) of Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) of Windows 8 (64-bit).
    So I did.

    Then I went UK from Toshiba Web site to check if there are any drivers I had to install for Windows 8. The only one was an update of the BIOS (for BIOS v1.70). I don't know what was the previous BIOS version number.

    So I run the update application in Windows 8. Phoenix WinPhlash Technologies starts and then in the middle of the update, everything freezes.

    The trackpad would not move the cursor or anything like that. I had no choice but to disconnect the phone from the wall and remove the battery. The laptop is not under warranty.

    Of course, now it won't turn. It will beep once when I press the power button, but the system does not light. A few minutes later, it looks like one long beep and two short beeps. It then keeps repeating this sequence every two minutes "one long beep, 2 short beeps".

    I google and read the site after the blog after the post on the forum, but nothing works. Links to the software offered on these forums/blogs/Web sites in french are usually dead, so I can't try what they suggest.

    The most common solution is the Phoenix crisis recovery tool. I managed to download v1.0.0.4 which is supposed to allow me to make a bootable USB key. The version of this tool that I downloaded is supposed to be for a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. I have the correct BIOS.rom to C660 Pro Satellite (I renamed BIOS.wph and copied to the appropriate folder).

    I followed all the instructions, but it doesn't seem to work. Some sites say if it happens, I have the wrong version of phlash16.exe. Some other sites say that HP Boot Disk USB Utility should be used, but I don't know how to use it.

    What I really need, is a definitive step by step foolproof guide to know what to do, with links to the files/tools to use for this model of laptop. I will follow this blindly (which I don't really understand what makes each step, I just do it with no understanding,) so if anyone can help me with this, please write a guide like an idiot!

    If anyone can help me with this, I appreciate it. I'm really in a difficult situation - I can't really afford to pay a Toshiba ASP to fix it, and I can't afford a new laptop certainly. But I also couldn't bring myself to tell my sister, ' it's broken, deal!

    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite L750-201 - problem with update of the BIOS - preparation for Win 8

    I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
    I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

    I have downloaded the BIOS update file and run. I had several options. One of them was to make the update of Windows, and another was to create a boot CD to do at STARTUP.
    I created the CD and rebooted the machine with it. Everything seemed fine, but when the time came to Flash the bios I got the message about the battery must be greater than 10% and the power adapter is connected. If the BIOS update has refused to start.

    The problem is the battery was 100% or almost that I had just fully charged it. The power adapter is and powered. So whence the utility to update the BIOS get his info that the dough was less than 10%?
    I saw similar posts from other people, but the problem was usually that the battery was in fact less than 10% and that it was not charging. This isn't the case here.

    No matter, I thought, I can update the other sense through the windows.
    So I started the machine and took the Windows Flash utility. The system gave me the warning usual as planned and then rebooted the machine. He went directly in windows with the "Welcome" splash screen, and then stopped a few moments, then went to a black screen with just the pointer in the middle. I assumed it was something like the fairly active enjoy car light. However, after an age, nothing was. I could go back to the login screen by pressing the power button / standby machine and then turning it back on. My user has been locked, but I could shut down the computer and restart normally. Nothing serious happened. The machine starts very well and Windows does not normally, but BIOS remains unchanged.

    Anyone have any idea how to get the update of the BIOS to work? Seems I have to bypass the battery check or why BIOS thinks a battery of 100% is less than 10%.

    I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
    I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

    L750-201 satellite is part of the PSK6ME series.
    I wonder where you found the BIOS v3.60 for this device?
    The latest version of the BIOS seems to be v 2.80 - WIN

    So from my point of view you try update BIOS INCORRECT.

  • Satellite A210-15Y crashed during the update of the bios

    The worst case has happened and the laptop computer crashed during an update of the bios. I know that there is the possibility to repait the bios with a tool of recovery from crisis. For this purpose you have to press 2 keys (in most cases FN + B or Win + B) during the connection of the supply cable and the next start. I tried many books, but nothing happened. Can someone tell me the keys on which I have to press a 210 - 15Y satellite and maybe where I can get an image of cd of the tool of the crisis, because the laptop does not have a floppydrive?

    Hello

    As far as I know that the BIOS crisis procedure may be crazy by a technician of the ASP.
    You can not download a version of traditional BIOS who can update the BIOS from a USB FDD floppy.
    You can download only focused on the victory of the BIOS that can be run so that windows operating system is running.

    In my opinion, you should get in touch with a local ASP!

    I did recently on my HP ProBook 450 G2 Kubuntu Linux 15.10 running.

    A new version of the BIOS (01.16 Rev.A 1 December 2015) was available, but for Windows only.

    What I had to do to install the BIOS under Linux:

    * Download the exe file (for example: sp74048.exe): this is an archive

    * unpack with 7zip

    * go to my laptop configuration: restart, press [ESC] >

    Configuration of the BIOS F10 > MAIN > system update BIOS > BIOS update using local media

    * read the instructions:

    "Place the system on a FAT32 partition no BIOS BIN file more

    on the system or on a removable USB hard drive

    under the folder "Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\New.

    Then, add or verify that the HP Bios update utility (HpBiosUpdate.efi)

    and the signature file (HpBiosUpdate.s12) are

    on the same partition FAT32 under

    the path to the following folder: "Hewlett-Packard\BIOSUpdate. »

    * Take a flash drive, create the folder ""Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\ " "

    copy the whole folder "BIOSUpdate" since the original installation file for her

    create the "New" folder and copy the bin on it (in my case "M74_0116.bin")

    * If at the end, the flash drive looks like this:

    \---Hewlett-Packard

    + - BIOS

    | \---New

    |      Mxx_xxxx. bin

    |

    \---BIOSUpdate

    all files here

    * place the flash drive in the laptop and "BIOS update using local media" hit the button [I accept] below "the system BIOS will be updated immediately.'." "

    Then update the BIOS HP appears saying: the system BIOS is updated day. > writing new BIOS Image. > Veryfying new BIOS Image. > restart.

    Fact.

    It is really beyond me why HP does not provide a simple archive with the appropriate directory structure and a readme file so that anyone could update the BIOS regardless of operating system.

    Warning: I'm just an average Linux user. This procedure worked for me, but before use, you must consider the risks for yourself. You SHOULD know what you're doing.

    Please help me.

    Information
    Toshiba Satellite L735-11 d

    Problem is that Toshiba offers the latest BIOS versions only on Toshiba download page you will not be able to find the old version of the BIOS.
    What you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They have access to the database of the BIOS and can get the older version for you.

    I put t know how you use your laptop computer but use it on the desk and be sure the ventilation openings are not blocked. Laptop must be able to catch his breath. If you use the laptop for some daily use only balanced power management. This will reduce the performance of the computer laptop and laptop will run a little more slowly and produce less heat.

  • Black screen persists after the recent update of the BIOS

    ENVY of HP TouchSmart M7-J010DX

    Hello

    I recently received an update through HP who instructed me to update my BIOS, I did. Now, after I turn on my machine, I don't see is a black screen. The power light is on and the fan seems to work (I can feel the warmth of the event). I have a pretty good feeling that this recent BIOS update may have done something that has caused this, and I would like to cancel the updates to the BIOS, if possible.

    I looked at and tried everything what I found on this page of the site of troubleshooting HP, except for the part of memory modules as I did of the latest changes to the memory modules. None of these suggestions helped with the black screen problem.

    The machine was reconditioned at the factory, and I've had it for about a month, but began to use it recently. The only changes I have made are on the HARD drive: I recently picked up a new SSD, added to the machine and makes the HARD drive, the machine came with a secondary drive (after wiping). Everything worked perfectly well until the update to the BIOS.

    I don't know what else I should do/try at this point.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello Mrstenter and thank you for your response.

    Unfortunately, I saw this page, you suggested before posting, tried and it doesn't work.

    As a matter of fact, I had to return to HP for repair the machine. Following the conversation with a technical support engineer, we agreed that the problem is the update of the BIOS HP pushed out.

    In short, the update of the BIOS HP pushed to brick my machine, and I had to send to HP to have restored it I couldn't find anything else to deal with the update of the BIOS on my own.

    I appreciate your attempt to address the issue, however. I hope your solution helps others, but he couldn't help me.
