  Hello

  Yes Toshiba recommends Vista with new laptops capable perhaps Vista. Your Vista M70 is capable? You have capable sticker of Vista on it?

  I M70 - 159 and there is no Vista capable sticker. Last month I installed Vista Ultimate on it and it works perfectly. Only problem I have is not enough RAM. M70 has 512 MB only and with more RAM, I am sure that Vista will work much better.

  In the end, I can say that I have a very good and positive experience with Vista and Satellite M70 - 159. Now my question: what is your problem?

• The upgrade of vista activation window

  I have a HP computer I bought several years of 'NEW '.  She had the window XP by HP with a key code on the side of the computer for XP.  Later, I've updated with windows vista, which was more stable and safer.   My computer is turned off and I couldn't have managed to restart.  First, I tried the vista upgrade disc and he told me that I had to use the original windows XP to perform a recovery.  Since the windows XP has been installed by HP I had to use the original recovery discs, I did when I first bought the computer.  Then I had to reinstall the upgrade to vista.  Now to my problem: I tried to activate the vista, but since it was installed by HP there is no activation wizzard, so I used the prompt "Activate now" and he asked that I enter the code I did and he said I have used the original key not upgrade code code.  So, I am entered in the key for the windows XP code he would accept either this key code.  I called the Microsoft Support Center and tried to get help.  Finally, I need to talk to a technical support and he said that I'd give it an activation number that is indicated in the "Activation Wizzard" which I told her that I don't have the "Wizzard" because it was installed by HP.  He said he couldn't help me and hung up on me immediately.  Then, I called HP to see if they could help me get the activation number that Microsoft wanted to.  They said that my computer was more guaranteed and could not help me, but could give me to another group of service that would charge me aqpproximately $60 to help me.  I told him everything I needed was the GOOD key code for the window they've installed on my XP computer or tell me how to enter into the computer to confirm that the key code, they gave me was correct or not.  He asked for forgiveness, but my computer was out of warranty.  I bought two operating systems of windows for this computer and have two key codes and neither one of them can be activated.  The key encoded on the computer is provided by Microsoft and key coded on the Vista upgrade is provided by Microsoft, so why can't the operating system activated by Microsoft.  For both companies CUSTOMER SERVICE leaves much to be desired.  I have spent a lot of time getting this system to the top and re - install the other software that I had to go through all of the upgrade again.  I don't want to not all over again if I don't get the Windows operating system that is activated before the end of the time and the system shuts down again.

  Hello

  It seems that the Windows Vista product key has been blocked, so you may need a new product key.

  You can keep your Windows Vista DVD at hand & contact Microsoft Product Activation Center for assistance.

• Considerations for the host of the upgrade of Vista HomePremium for Win 7

  I have a large 64-bit Vista HomePremium PC as the host operating system. I've got VMWare Workstation 6.5.x running as an application on Vista and it supports two computer called Windows XP (essentially nothing else that VMware is running on the host).

  I think the upgrade to Vista from readings elsewhere. Assuming that succeeded, it would be an appropriate next steps approach?

  • Re-install the VMware Workstation application on new host (Win 7)

  • point this VM Workstation application newly installed on the definitions of existing virtual machine (GER) for Windows XP 2 clients

  I'm sorry not to use better terminology in my question. I hope my question makes sense for a VMware guru. I have a bit of memory on the use of the MS Virtual PC 2007 product and I think I understand the concepts but my terms are probably passing offshore for VMWare.

  Other ways to address this issue are:

  • is there a list of audit planning things to do before you change your host operating system while you are a user of VMWare Workstation?

  • is there a special version or service pack for VMWare WS run on a host Windows 7 (64-bit) machine?

  Thank you for your comprehensive reply and suggestions. As I answered Naki, know nothing about the intentions of VMWare on the 'official' support for Windows 7?

  Official support for Windows7 as a host and guest will be included in VMware Workstation 7, which is currently in version beta (in fact it is now at the stage of the Release Candidate).

  VMware comment on dates for the next version, but my guess is that 'soon' is based on the fact that it is more listed on the page of Beta here: http://communities.vmware.com/community/beta

• Question about the temperature of the processor and the use of Vista on Satellite Pro M70

  Hello

  I have Satellite Pro M70-113 and it has Intel mobile Pentium 1.86 GHz CPU.
  The problem is that its normal temperature is 80 degrees Celsius... while I use the browser and other common programs...
  and recently it automatically shut off twice and pressing the button works / stop won't turn on... when I unplugged, replugged the power cord so I could only turn it on...

  And while playing games, it would of course go above 100 degrees...

  So you know what is the max temp through which the CPU can go without stop or damage the CPU or surrounding a circuit?
  I know that when I bought this laptop about 2 years back... it was not warm this...

  And by the way this laptop came with WXP Pro preinstalled and doesn't show any vista capable logo (because at the time, there was no such promotion of Microsoft, as it was the year 2005, Nov).

  Now, I use vista and upgraded to 1 GB of RAM and I have no problem using the Vista pc.

  Secondly, I did not update my BIOS to version the most recent is available.

  Although I'd love to have updated the BIOS but I worry about the bad flashing and says BIOS driver update page that the version of the BIOS doesn't support vista - whatever that means? If I go back to Windows XP Home edition after installing the BIOS for vista, the pc will not be usable for WXP or what?

  Is there any link to the processor heats to the old version of the BIOS, I'm still using... will update BIOS facilitated the temperature?

  Please answer.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Wow, you have a lot of questions. :) If I was sort of a support guy to it all with such question much. ;)

  No, I'm kidding; with regard to your questions:

  First of all you must clean your CPU cooling with compressed air, because if the breakdown is clobbed with dust and then it s just logical that your processor is a little bit more 'hot' then 2 years before.

  The max temp is available on the website of intel. I think that the section is called "intel spec finder" or something similar.
  With Vista and bios: you need to update your bios, since then some improvements are making more compatible bios for vista.
  But don t worry, XP won´t be unusable if you update your bios, the bios-update brings improvements for vista, but does not degrade anything about XP.

  If the bios update will solve this temporary problem is not clearly, rather a cleaning as I told you will be better.

• Cannot install display driver for Vista on Satellite M70-159

  I made an update to Windows Vista business and I downloaded the ATI Vista "8.31.100.3.2" display driver, but the driver failed to install.

  The past even when I tried to update the windows driver by default through «properties--> update driver...» ».

  No idea why this happen?

  Hello

  I have the Satellite M70-159 with ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 700. I know that it sounds stupid, but I didn't install any graphics driver. I installed Vista Ultimate to test and each hardware component is recognized correctly except sound and SD card reader. Audio driver found somewhere on the net, and SD card reader is not so important to me.

• Question about upgrading to Vista on Satellite P15

  Hello

  I think the move to Vista, but some things are confusing me. I have a Satellite P15 with an OEM XP Home installed package. Am I good to buy another DVD of Vista OEM use to level or that will cause some kind of conflict with the etc. hidden restore partition.

  I understand it to be if I chose to upgrade and want to completely install Vista from new I have to reformat my hard drive? It's a tough call. Is it possible to simply upgrade to Vista, but keep everything I already installed at all? I have tons of useful stuff and tons of waste which I'm also not lose and don't spend hours, it backs up all fancy, all as I don't want to have dual-boot to be honest. It's Vista or XP, not both for me.

  Any ideas?

  I guess my biggest concern is another package to OEM OEM compatibility and whether the P15 him will at all.

  See you soon!

  Hello

  As prior use has already proposed, you must create a second partition on your HARD drive and install Vista as OS second on the created part.
  This should be a better way to use this operating system with Windows XP.

  I installed the Vista in the same way. First of all, I created the partition Magic 8 partition and then installed the Vista operating system.
  and I must say; He works ;)

• Afiter Vista BIOS Satellite M70 5.10 update becomes too slow

  When I updated my Bios in Bios 5.10 Vista, my computer has become too slow (slow), even the Internet
  I turned in OS independent bios update worm 1.50
  and everything becomes good again,
  Note, I used win updte worm.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I can only say that the Vista operating system needs much more resources as the XP operating system for example.
  The BIOS version 5.1 has been designed for the use of Vista and therefore it s no surprise to me that the laptop is running a little don't bit slower

  Something more to my knowledge the M70 has not been declared as able to Vista laptop. In any case, thanks for your comments...

• The upgrade of Vista home premium for the company

  Hello

  I bought my toshiba satellite and startet to install all my software on it.
  I really want to install the version of Vista Enterprise there are many functions that Miss probably with the preinstalled vista home premium.

  Does anyone know a way to install without having to reinstall the entire system again?

  Any idea?
  THX.
  sfloehle

  Hmm, I assume that you will not need to boot from the CD of Vista Business, but you have to start the DVD of Vista Business running Vista Home Edition.

  However, I m not 100% sure, but I guess that it s the same procedure like an update of Win XP Home Pro.

  Best regards
