Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Answers forum! This seems to be a hardware malfunction with your laptop. You will need to contact Dell to further support this issue.

    Hello

    Why use this product key?

    Firstly the Toshiba recovery image is already enabled and you don t need this key more activations.

    Second, it's an OEM key and it will not work with other versions of Vista!

  • Vista computer locked, keyboard does not work.

    A malicious person entered my Vista computer.  When switching on at the beginning of the POST keyboard doesn't let me in BIOS.  Finishing POST and past in screen of emergency repair with all the parameters of Safe Mode and start normally.  Keyboard doesn't let me choose Safe Mode.  It then goes to a different sign on the screen that is black and a small sign in box without a user name, a place to enter a password.  None of my usual passwords work.  Below the password are buttons to sign in and turn it back on.

    What I need is a back boot disk and a working key board so I can runrstrui.exe and come back on the eve of this disaster.

    I used Vista restore and rescue discs, keyboard does not press a key; have used AVG and Kaspersky rescue disks; have used the rescue system, repair Boot, UBC, Trinity Rescue Kit, Boot CD Vista PE, etc. for a total of 14 different repair or rescue disks.

    Hello

    Why tell you what a bad guy entered into your computer?

    And have you tried another keyboard?

    Something in your question, is that you say that the keyboard allow you to select the Safe Mode Options, etc., but you can type your password is not working.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  • Satellite A200 + Vista Ultimate - power management does not work

    No matter what I apply to the power management settings of the screen never goes and the PC never sleep or standby extended. Screen saver does not either - except once - yesterday, for the first time since I bought the PC in August. Has not yet done.

    I assumed that this is a bug in Vista. "Tech Guy" PC World (ha ha) cannot repair. Is it at the level of the BIOS or something else? Of course, there is an incompatibility between the OS and the hardware. Video chipset? If you choose a balanced power management, the screen slightly off if you take out the power cord, but that's all that happens. Power management is all set to default.

    It's exhausting, because whenever I want to leave the PC for a while, I have to put it to sleep manually.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello Peter

    First of all are the guys responsible for tech updates? They must offer that you support for the hardware you have and clarify also all problems, if you use a preinstalled recovery media.

    Upgrade is your decision, and it is possible that it may have some negative influence on the functionality of the OS. All this is quite complex. As you know Vista has own power management options. Toshiba install PVAT (ValueAddedPackage) and after doing this there are some additional settings.

    The question is: How did you get the OS upgrade? Did you do a clean install? Have you installed all the stuff from the download page of Toshiba including VAP?

    With other words: all the basic settings on energy consumption are defined in the BIOS. AFAIK in Vista is the management of clean energy implemented and Toshiba installed just a plugin. If these rudimentary BIOS settings are not changed, I guess everything works fine. Change the settings of the BIOS with an update, I can imagine that different settings will not work correctly.

    Hmm, that's really not easy to say what you can do. Maybe check for the last update of the BIOS and after doing that it is trying to put the clean install of Vista Ultimate. And, of course, you must install all the stuff from Toshiba following the document of instructions for installations.

    The problem is that I installed Windows on my new pc.
    I lost my Driver Cd so I downloaded them from Toshiba.
    Also, I installed the 'value added package' for the fn keys.

    Now, I can not use the most pressing fn + F3 (for example).
    I have to press FN and clicking it with the mouse over the buttons fn on top of my desk.
    Also the symbols on my desk are no longer correspond with the keys on the keyboard.

    For example on my keyvorad the F12 key is to turn on the WiFi network, but it is shown as F8 on the desktop by pressing fn. But if I'm getting close F8 it does not work as well

    Hello

    OK, this is the story:

    I have PC running Vista, we have an Xbox360 that I shared media with my PC. All of a sudden, it stopped working on the Xbox, I can still see the files on the Xbox, but it will not play any of them. So I go to network and sharing Center from my PC, and media sharing Option appears under the name immediately, but if I log in as an administrator, it says its judgment. Either like me or the administrator, the "Change" button in the multimedia file sharing does not work, I click and click on, and it does nothing.
