• I want to buy Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu and windows

  I want to buy a new laptop.
  I don't want to pay 300 quid for yet another stupid Windows (if they are just a version properly, people don't need to keep buying new... oh wait... they make more money...).

  Others don't offer laptops with Ubuntu (and not windows).

  I find myself here, and Toshiba appear also does not provide laptops without windows.
  Why? Why Toshiba offer laptops with pre-installed Ubuntu with no windows?

  I use Ubuntu for 3 years, and altogether, he transformed my daily calculation. No more bloody virus, not 5 minutes log-ins/closures, no more program - crashing down the entire system. It is faster, safer, more flexible and * free *.

  But because Toshiba do not appear to offer it, they can't get my habit (I'm in Ireland, so Toshiba options open to me may be different in other countries).

  Hello

  First of all it s a forum from user to user and you get no response from Toshiba here in the forum.

  But as much as I know that Toshiba laptops are not delivered with the distributions Linux.
  Of course, you can install Linux if you want, but laptops are delivered with the Windows operating system. As far as I know with win 7 64 bit and 32 bit OS.

• the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable and I don't know who to make it work again

  the touchpad on my toshiba laptop with windows vista is disable, and I don't know who to make it work again.

  Hello

  Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba
  and Forums. The key shortcut for the TouchPad, if they are responsible in the Fn + F9 or see the key card
  So usually loaded at the top of the screen.

  There is also usually a TouchPad control utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock
  at the bottom right.

  Toshiba support - click Communcate for links to the Forums and Contact Toshiba.

  Toshiba downloads - access your model.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

  Toshiba forums - good source of info from others who have the same system or similar
  http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/

  Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
  are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

  Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

  You can also try this:

  Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
  The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
  (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

  Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
  RESET

  This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
  of work.

  Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
  device if present.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

  Then go to the website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
  and get the latest touchpad drivers.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

  I hope this helps.

• I just bought a PC C50 toshiba laptop with windows 10. I would like to ask if someone can tell me if it is easy to remove the Windows OS 10 and restart the laptop with my windows disc 7.

  * Original title: delete windows 10

  Hi, I just bought a PC C50 toshiba laptop with windows 10. Is not not a geek, I would like to ask if someone can tell me

  If it is easy to remove 10 OS and restarting the laptop with my windows disc windows 7, the reason why I want to do is

  because I have aready have a desk top running 7, but it is to the top at the moment and could use the laptop backup

  You must ask your win-10 computer make this question

  They would have made drivers for this machine for win - 7

  If not then no.

  Your only option is to return it and ask for a unit that has win 7 drivers.

• I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed and would like to change to Windows 7 32 bit. How can I do this?

  I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed and would like to change to Windows 7 32 bit.  How can I do this?

  Original title: Harold

  Usually this is impossible on computers with Windows 7.  In almost all cases, you need to go to the store, buy Windows 7 32-bit and use the CD to install it on your computer.  This also requires the deletion of your system, you will need to reinstall all your programs and settings.

• Satellite A500 - slower with videos on Windows 7

  Hi, I desperately need advice, I am 78 years old and going into the wall.

  My Satellite A500 / 03P was bought with preinstalled Vista and worked fine. My particular interest is the functioning and the creation of video clips from training for other seniors, like video purchased has worked, stutter free. I took the offer to upgrade to Windows 7 and bought the upgrade, things went quickly downhill since. Installing Windows 7 became crazy during the installation, I have to take the computer to a maintenance shop. He was returned with Windows 7 installed, but has been considerably slower with videos run from the hard drive stuttering, worse still, my connection Internet ADSL2 running about 1.25 m bits per second.

  After a while I got to service man and $ 200 later was provided with a dual boot hard drive, Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7. The system is practically unusable for video. I downloaded and installed all the 32 and 64-bit drivers provided by Toshiba but had to give up the 64-bit completely as unusable. I tried to install another copy of Vista Ultimate, bought for my old desktop PC, but could not get Internet to work, either directly or via the WIFI on the laptop.

  I tried to run the Toshiba on the 32-bit Windows 7, but the laptop is too slow, that even my email creeps to e-mail readere. Any advice would be most appreciated that my pension will not bear the costs of local peoples. Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.

  Concerning
  LeslieB

  Hi Leslie,.

  I m really wondering why your A500 has so many problems with Windows 7. From my own experience I can say it s really great and better than Vista OS. I use 1.5 years now and everything is working a lot on it.

  In any case, did you check if all devices are properly installed in Device Manager and if there is no yellow exclamation?
  When you watch videos, have you selected the power profile high performance in Windows?

  > Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.
  That would be an option, Yes.
  You don t have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If this isn't the case, you can get it from a provider of service authorized in your country.

• Why have they not on Toshiba AC100 - Android Market?

  Hello.

  Many programs are now obtained from the Android Market.
  And it's practical and above all safe.
  Automatically updates the old programs.
  Recently, many cases of headaches - virus for Android programs!

  Why Toshiba believes that it is not necessary on this unit?

  I agree with you. The lack of access to the Android market is the major drawback of the AC100 (and plussusceptibles the main reason of its sales representatives call the existence of niche). However, since the AC100 deviate much from googles requirements for the market, not all can be attributed to Toshiba. However, it would be Toshiba to renegotiate with Google, since now, allowes for apps market segmentation it would be possible to cover a stranger like the AC100 too. (Of course I understand the developers too, who do not want to have problems with their applications handle, because they don't work well on the features of the app was not ment for). My solution is use to limit my self to 2 alternative markets that I download apps and run the Antivirus program in addition 2. I doubt I doublecheck, for example by downloading the app for my HTC Legend and compare related version numbers and rights to the demands of the app.
  Uncomfortable, but I guess to have a system which covers my functional needs.

  Ciritical applications, like the Webbrowser(Opera/Firefox) I'm updating on the site of the seller (via PC update), since navigation with a stale version with well known security holes, there's nothing I'd like some advice.

  Toshiba, can I ask to provide at least an easy way to update the browser and the Flash Player (is it so difficult to put several important and security sensitive applications (browser, Flash Player, pdf-Reader and may also mail and office) in the Toshiba market with their latest versions (opera is in the T.Market 10.1 beta - 11 something later Dolphin Browser is like 1.0 which is a latest 4.0)) 6.1)? Currently, I have not found a way to get the latest updates of Adobe flash player. For Adobe reader, I can download from the adobe site, but for the flash player, it does not work that way.-(())

• Re: How would I do the successful Toshiba AC100

  Hi all

  I post my ideas for improvements here, maybe someone Toshiba reads this.
  The original blog post is here:
  http://soltesza.WordPress.com/2011/05/09/how-i-would-make-the-Toshiba-AC100-successful/

  Please feel free to contribute here or on the blog.

  -------------------------------------------------

  The AC100 is first Toshiba attempts to create an ARM-based netbook (a smartbook) chipset Nvidia Tegra2 successfully.
  Although the AC100 resembles an adequate hardware design, it became only
  success. Some of the reasons may have to do with the primary
  operating system, Android ([see my previous article on this subject | http://soltesza.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/toshiba-a100-smartbook-with-android-but-why/]), but more can be attributed to the fact Toshiba design decisions.

  Since these machines are now available in my country of origin (Hungary)
  at very attractive prices (~ US $250, some people seem to be)
  trying to get rid of him, shortly after the purchase) I can't bump into
  That's all the time. Sinc [view post | http://soltesza.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/2011/05/09/how-i-would-make-the-toshiba-ac100-successful/] e
  I'm a fan of gadget, I always have my trembling hand see these prices
  and I need to cool down before proceeding to an impulse purchase - I'm sorry
  thereafter.

  What I could click on the button "buy"?

  * Memory more *.

  First of all, 1-2 GB of RAM instead of the meager 512 MB the AC100
  hosts. Why the hell I tried Toshiba sell a netbook with 512 MB of RAM when
  ALL Atom N450 netbooks seemed to come with 2 GB at this time here?
  This amount of RAM would slap Ubuntu on the machine and not
  worry about running out of memory when loading of OpenOffice. Ubuntu has
  been demonstrated on the AC100 and looks like even catchy. (see this [site dedicated to Ubuntu on the AC100 | http://tosh-ac100.wetpaint.com/]). Toshiba could easily put 2 GB of RAM in the machine without significant cost increase.

  * OS or Android Office *.

  Put 1 to 2 GB of RAM in the AC100 would open the door to use a
  appropriate, based on the netbook desktop OS that can take advantage of the
  form factor. They should use Ubuntu, because that could be fixed up
  This material at any time (especially if they're buying tips
  from Canonical).

  I don't think Android needs to stay on the machine but if
  Toshiba still think it is a good idea for any group of users, what they
  could do the AC100 dual-booting, or better yet, to run two operating systems
  parallel (2 GB of RAM would do that quite possible). Android would be
  be the light and easy operating system on the device, but the user could at any time
  switch to a full Ubuntu desktop with an icon of the Android launcher and start
  using OpenOffice or another decent desktop software. The
  paravirtualization developed by B-labs would be a [instant solution | http://armdevices.net/2011/04/04/android-virtualization-on-ti-omap4-processors-dual-core-cortex-a9/] for this problem and would be future proof machine for a possible Windows8 scenario later.

  * Battery more *.

  The 8 hour duration of the AC100 is pretty decent, but more
  battery time is always welcome. The speaker has a LOT of free/empty
  the space under the keyboard because of the ultra compact nature of Tegra2 and
  its support circuits. Toshiba should again take advantage of the
  form factor and add one or more additional battery bays home under the
  a keyboard that could extend the duration of 16 to 24 hours. (Of course,
  they would make the unit but much more weight since these batteries
  would be optional, this decision is up to the user. A 24 hours
  running with a 3-battery arrangement would make the AC100 extremely
  seeking a large set of users. It is acceptable that the
  batteries are charged in the series (so the charging process is longer)
  While Toshiba doesn't have to switch to a more expensive diet.
  (Although the power issue is probably not a serious cost
  Factor).

  * What else *.

  Of course, there are many things to be improved (more USB
  ports, high-resolution screen... etc) but I have tried to make things
  that require a smaller redesign so that could be an improved version
  faster implementation.

  According to me, the AC100 line could be really successful and Toshiba to take the necessary steps to get there.

  Thanks for your interesting ad. :)

• Toshiba overheating with Linux

  Dear Toshiba

  leaving all to AMD/ATI site is shameful for your buyers using linux. It is not linux job to try to make a driver out of their proprietary drivers.

  They have already ERASED all the legacy links page for installation of catalyst 13.1, which, at best, would force the user of ubuntu linux to return the path of the core 3.8 back to 2.6... but not even that it is possible. They think that its so old, they erase all PAGES of DIRECTIONS!

  I just bought this satellite with AMD Mobility Radeon 3100 rs780 LAST a YEAR and I expect you to take care of your linux - this card users fried the laptop overheating and after owning 3 toshiba satellite, I then won't buy your product because of the lack of support and only sell WINDOWS based laptops.

  Don't care when installing AMD/ATI, which does not support linux, you drive your customers away?
  Do you care that these offers of manufacturer of component you chose, not allowing support for linux, drive your customers away?

  Do you can not select a manufacturer of the graphics card that supports linux only for a few minutes before shooting their 404 error pages?

  The world hates Windows systems now, don't you know that?
  Mr. Gates is corrupt and thief. Maybe he wants to ruin Toshiba sales.

  >... and I expect you to take care of your linux users
  Respect for your opinion, but there are a few facts and in my opinion, it will not change in the future. As you probably know Toshiba doesn't support Linux and doesn t offer any substance for Linux if you can't wait for something like that.

  Laptop Toshiba computers are delivered with operating systems Windows and some models without operating system, but they are completely Windows supported.

• Satellite L505 - it come with disc of Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit?

  I had a computer Satellite L505 with * preinstalled * version Windows 7 64-bit and a 32-bit product recovery disc. I didn't create a backup of a 64-bit version and reinstalled the system since the provided 32-bit recovery disc erase my HD. However, I would like to reinstall the verision of 64-bit Windows 7. I know I can order a backup media on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/ but it says not version (64-bit or 32-bit) wich are mailed directly to me.

  If I check the description of the model on the Toshiba page, it says that it comes with the 64-bit version and includes the 32-bit recovery disc. This description still leaves me a question what backup media I'd get Toshiba. I have to be sure that I get the 64-bit WIndows 7 until I have order a.

  I'd appreciate a confimation. Thank you!

  Hey Buddy,

  I think everything is ok and there is no open question. The description on the Toshiba site says it all: the laptop comes with the 64-bit Windows 7 version, which means that this version is preinstalled on your computer. Additional, you get a version 32-bit on a recovery disc and that s all!

  So you didn't burn the 64-bit recovery disc, which means you must order a new one from Toshiba. I guess you will get versions then 32-bit and 64-bit.

• How to use the "Toshiba controls" with other players?

  Heey

  I have a Satellite with Toshiba controls. How can I change so I can use the buttons for other media players and not only Windows Media Player?

  A dude sorry for the bad news, but I fear that it is not possible to use the Toshiba controls with another application as with WMP (CD) and WinDVD (DVD)
  I think that the utility was already programmed and designed to use only these two applications.

• Toshiba value added Package for Windows Vista Version 1.1.3 on Qosmio F45

  I installed the new * Toshiba value added Package for Windows Vista Version 1.1.3 * for my Qosmio F45-AV413 and function keys was arrested for work.

  If I don't go back to the previous system, there is no action that I can do to make the works of buttons again.

  I tested with Vista Home Premium which is installed with the product, tested with Vista Business from scratch, and none of them work as expected.

  Well, if someone could help me with this question I really thank you,

  Marcelo.

  Have you already tried to install an earlier version of the software function button on your system? I think the new version is buggy and if not already a newer version is released, you should have the old version until a new one comes out.

  Please check if the old version works, it shouldn´t be a big problem for the single download from the Toshiba driver download site.

  See you soon

• Question 8 metro Apps Windows

  This question is about the Metro of Windows 8 applications. If this is not the right place for him ask then please tell me the right place to post that I can't find a site to Windows 8 issues anywhere. I currently have a Windows 8 Developer Preview installed on my netbook, and it runs as fluid as a glass of water, but none of the Metro applications worked. I thought that since this was a developer version, apps are non-functional. Not long after this event, I plugged my computer via a RGB cable to a bigger screen. I've accidentally hit a metro app while sailing on the start menu, and to my surprise, she and other applications, works great. I have disconnected the monitor and tried to start again the same apps with my monitor netbook, but it did not work as before. So my question is, the metro apps have a ceiling of resolution? My resolution is 1280 x 600. Very confused.
