    The following article should be useful. To use system recovery options, you have Vista installation disc. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) repeatedly will install on the computer Windows recovery environment. To cross check if it is installed, try the following steps.

    1 start the computer and press the F8 key continuously to get advanced boot menu options.
    2. on the menu advanced startup options, check if the Startup Repair tool is in the list.
    3. If so, select it and press ENTER.
    4. If not, then you should organize a Vista installation disc.

    Hi dmilten,

     

    In Windows Vista, you can get her out only 'default' and a 'default' endpoint.  Applications can play at all (and output record of any entry), but by default, they will use only 'by default' entry and exit.

    Outputs audio multiples are not supported by Windows Vista. It's normal. However, you can contact the manufacturer of the equipment for other possibilities.

    He may want to know:

    You can configure your Media Player to play a default device

  • 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.
