• Can't uninstall DisplayLink Core Software on a laptop Sony Vaio (VGN-NR110E model) for a Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 7.

  Hi, I wonder if there is someone who can help me on this issue because it prevents me to install Windows 7 on my laptop.  I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NR110E model, and when I try to install Win7 it tells me that I must first uninstall DisplayLink Core Software.  I went to my control panel to uninstall the program, and it doesn't let me, saying another program he has in use.  On this forum, someone suggested that I'm trying to boot my laptop in safe mode, and it can allows me to remove the program there.  My concern with this would be if I remove this program in Mode safe, how could make sure I'd be able to re - install DisplayLink Core Software should anything go wrong when I try to install Win7?

  The other question I have is there are two other programs that appear to be linked to DisplayLink Core Software.  They are called SONY VGP-UPR1 and there is another utility called program SONY VGP-UPR1 (display Adapater). If I deleted those first, it seems that it can release DisplayLink Core software should be deleted.  In this case someone has already tried that and had success?

  Could someone install Windows 7 on a Sony Vaio VGN-NR110E?

  Hi RC2076,

  Welcome to Windows 7 answers Forum!

  From what I can see SONY VGP-UPR1is a USB docking station for VAIO, try to temporarily disable by right clicking on the program. You can go ahead and uninstall the software basis of DisplayLink, as long as you have the CD for this software.

  Once you are done uninstalling, you can install Windows 7 and later you install DisplayLink Core Software and select then the other two programs that are linked with the above mentioned software.

  You can also run the Upgrade Advisor and check it out. Here is the link to download the Upgrade Advisor.

  Hi Johanna,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you can not use the USB in Windows 7.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this

  1. you get any error message?

  2 have you tried using different USB ports?

  3. any other USB key works on the computer in question?

  4. do the USB works on any other computer?

  5 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

  Please follow the methods.

  Method 1:

  Run the Microsoft fixit for the link.

  Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us

  Method 2:

  As all devices have same also have USB device associated drivers. Appropriate sometimes drivers not detected after initial installation so reinstalling the drivers can fix the problems.

  You can check after uninstalling and reinstalling USB drivers if you are able to connect. You can disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

  (a) click Startand then click Control Panel.

  (b) click system and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.

  (c) Note if the control panel is in Classic view, double-click Systemand then click on Device Manager.

  (d) If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

  (e) in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right click on the controller host, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
  Check that if at all, there is an exclamation point on the pilot, it suggests problems with the installed driver.

  (f) repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

  Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

  We would be more than happy to help you if the steps above did not solve the problem.

• Tecra M5: Double monitors with docking station?

  Hello

  I have a Tecra M5 with docking station, in the past with other laptops, I was able to hook up a monitor by using the analog port and the other with digital and used both with the screen down.

  This seems not possible on this new, I have options to perform a monitor with the laptop or with a TV screen, but not two monitors to separate whole.

  Everyone was able to get this to work if so how? Graphix is the NVIDIA Quadro NVS btw.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is very interesting, but all I know is not possible. I'm not sure at 100%, but for something like that you need a special graphics card that supports something like that.

  The same situation is with my Tecra. But the idea with two external displays is not bad. :)

• Sony Vaio Z - improved performance with docking station

  Hello

  I recently bought the sony vaio z at the station and noticed the graphics performance decreases when the docking station is attached. The Windows experience index - I have a rating of 6.5 for the graphics when using the integrated graphics card Intel 4000 and a 6.0 with the graphics card ATI 7000series. Is this good? Is there a setting I should change to fix this? I think that the ATI graphics card is better than the integrated Intel graphics card.

  Thank you.

• DeskJet 3050 has J611 printer, windows 7 64, sony vaio F series with router netgear seem incompatible

  I was able to connect successfully the printer to my computer sony vaio notebook, as much as I first disconnect internet router, after that the installation I can connect internet once again, then it works for a few hours. However, when I turn off and restart the computer, the computer does not find the printer. Meanwhile, the printer is connected and has the correct network and are accessible from my Ipad or eprint, but not of my sony vaio. I tried all the solutions proposed in the various forums without success. Can anyone help? I also checked that my computer is on the same network. The printer appears "shadow" under devices and printers. Thanks in advance.

  What router are you using?

  We will set an IP address of the printer:

  -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
  -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
  -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
  -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). You can find the beach DHCP from the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the IP address of the router (ends para.1) in a browser.
  -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
  -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.

  -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for the second.
  -Click 'apply '.

  Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

  After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

• External monitor like main screen for M200 with docking station

  Hi all

  I have a Tablet M200 with GeForce FX go 5200. I have a Toshiba docking station and an external LCD display. When it is docked, I would use the external LCD as main display and the LCD builtin as the secondary display. (I want the taskbar, icons and newly opened windows on the external screen when it is docked.)

  Unfortunately, I can't find the right combination of settings of this. If I put Windows to extend the desktop on the external screen, "use it as primary display" option is grayed out. I don't get the span horizontally or vertically options in the nView utility, just the Standard and the Clone (and this only if I do not extend to the office.)

  How can I get the external screen be the main while being the internal school?

  Thanks in advance!
  Kind regards

• Tecra M9-104 with docking station - DVI resolution

  I wonder if anyone can help. I have a Tecra M9 - 104 running Windows XP. I also have the docking station to go with it. The great thing about the docking station, it's that it can out to two screens as the port on my M5 Replicator could not do.

  I bought two identical external screens that have a native resolution of 1440 x 900. I went into the Nvidia display configuration and set up to display both (one is plugged in VGA and one DVI port). However, the display on the DVI monitor is wrong. After further investigation I woke up the menu of the monitor on the screen to see that the resolution actually be issued is 1280 X 1024, despite Nvidia screen saying 1440 x 900 has been the output. Whatever I do, I can't increase the resolution on DVI port.

  The only thing I could find on Google and these support forums is that the maximum resolution on the DVI port on a port replicator is 1280 x 1024, but it was for the M1 and M2 series. This laptop is the last series and as such, I expected that the spec had been updated at this time.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Could be due to a limitation of the video driver on the laptop, or you can try to download a utility that requires to use a different resolution, its called Powerstrip (do not have a download link sorry).

  Be careful with it though, you can mess up your video driver

• Portege R700 with docking station may not automatically switch to the external display

  Hello!

  In the past, we bought a lot of A600, R500, S10, and always a docking station for every laptop here at Desjardins, we bought.

  Now we have a little problem with the new R700 model: PT318C - 00G 001,
  We bought 30 of them.

  WHY when we put in the tie-down (with the nearby screen) it can display automatically to the external display no/switch? (in this case a 22inc LCD)
  It is connect with the HDMI/DVI cable. And when we get the display by sliding in the graph of intel and media panel (V 6.14.10.5258), after a reboot of the docking, the screen is all buzzy... sometimes both screen are dark, and we must use a combination of keys to move.
  It's really not easy to use for our users...

  With the old model as the A600 or S10, all have always worked well, if we are on the dock, the pop screen directly on the external LCD, so I stopped him, ondock it and start up of all is well on the screen of the laptop.

  We are on Windows XP Pro SP3.

  I tried the utility Toshiba display device change and expansion Mobile from Toshiba. are not clear...

  Thanks for your help.

  Have you installed a version of vanilla from Windows? Or XP has been installed from the Toshiba Recovery Disc?
  Maybe you are missing several key structural factors (common modules for example). Also make sure that you use the drivers to display on the Toshiba site.

  Also try a BIOS update (v1.70 is the last one I think).

• Portege M200 - weird display with docking station problem

  Hello

  I use a Portege M200 with MS Windows Vista and the Toshiba docking station. Whenever I connected the system closed down it will start with low light and different screen resolution. The brightness can then be adjusted in Vista.

  To solve the problem, I have to disconnect it, then put it in PC Mode and finally stop Vista. With the next offline boot, it works correctly and can be re-docked. Maybe it's just a lack of understanding of the system? It seems that with a rooted boot, nVidia somehow takes place or is there different profiles?

  Thank you!

  Alexander

  Hello

  At first, I must say that Portege M200 is old enough laptop model and I really wonder that Toshiba supports this model of laptop for Windows Vista. You are really lucky in this regard.

  In any case very important is info which edition of WXP Tablet Toshiba offered tools for/disconnect. If I remember well, it was utilitarian Toshiba Mobile Extension. Using this tool you has been able to use different settings for Bay service as well as for output screen to choose the correct resolution.

  Under Vista it is controlled by Vista and, AFAIK, Toshiba does not have any special utility for this. You must also understand that procedure/disconnect (power switching power supply) is controlled by Vista and I can imagine that under Vista it does not work perfectly.

  My opinion is that there is not much to do, but I hope I'm wrong on this issue. Let's see what else users of forum about this.

• I am in the USA and what model W700 comes with docking station, keyboard?

  Hi guys, im thinking of buying a w700 but the models really confusde me. IM United States and I asked a lot of online stores but none of them could give me a specific answer. AFAIK 6465 comes only with a cradle, w700p comes with nothing, is this correct info? What model comes with all accomplices in option? Only i5 + models 128 GB are on the exam, so please ignore the i3, thank you!

  I just bought a W700P-6821 (Windows 8 Professional model) from CostCentral.com.  It arrived today with the Tablet; the case of the built-in keyboard (not the lid and stand-alone Bluetooth keyboard separate); Home/dock station; the micro-HDMI-adapter-VGA; and a capacitive stylus, as well as the power supply and a short USB cable / micro-USB to load the keyboard.  Note that it does NOT come with recovery DVDs.  (CostCentral.com is in PA, I'm in MA, so I guess this is the standard configuration for US).
