Trying to get my SD card format completed on my Vista box.
Ok. I have a micro SD 2 GB memory card for my phone. Now, I used to use it with an adaptor or a USB cable or a drive with my computer. Something changed a few months back and no longer performs this work. Always wants to be formatted and never complete format. I swapped it with one USB port for 3 others with no resolution to my problem. Now I have another computer on the network on the floor also under Vista. Works like a charm every time and never had a problem reading and writing to this card. I've exhausted all the ideas that I could find to try to fix this problem. As a note, all the rest I use for USB (mouse, cam, etc..) all work fine in all ports. So I know this isn't the port, but how windows recognizes the effective date on the map format. A also omitted to mention this, but it does not recognize the card whenever I plug. So I'm finally at a loss with what to do next short of reformat my whole system. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi OutlawSZ,
Thank you for your message.
""I know this isn't the port, but how windows recognizes the effective date on the card format " "
How do you come to this conclusion?
I suggest to perform a clean boot to see if a startup program may conflict with this memory card reading:

Trying to get my downloads to install. Using Windows Vista
I try to install I tunes and Avast and after downloading they install it. Says config is wrong
Download them to the desktop and then right click on the install icon and click on run as administrator. It sometimes helps.
Pleaae display the EXACT Word for Word error messages for each of the programs. Who can help to find the cause.
Disable your security software and try the installation again and see if that helps.
Download and run Windows Installer Cleanup Utility: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility-Download-18442.html and see if that helps the problem.
If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away (you can install) then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem (or you can ignore the problem and just restore the system to normal condition with your installed programs now). Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.
If the above does not work, contact technical support for iTunes http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ or post in the forums: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149 for assistance. Do the same with Avast at:http://www.avast.com/community-and-support orhttp://forum.avast.com/.
I hope this helps.

If you clicked the Cancel button right after the import, then you u did import. If the REFO option is available, click on it.
In otherwise, re - import photos from the card again and do not click Cancel. If the card has been erased, see if you can use the Time Machine backup to restore.

Looking for help.
You are this posting in the wrong forum, this is a forum of the laptop and is a desktop system.
Yes, you can get a video card, install and use it. However, you sure is that the video works is not, or is it possible that the video didn't come out because you have a larger problem as the system's not initialization and display at all, because of a sort of failure such as food or the card mother?
If you have a spare PSU, you can try exchanging it instead of the original. If you have a spare video card, even a few old (especially some former) PCI worthless, that you can install to see if you get any screen output. Note that you need to maybe use the CMOS clear jumper or remove the battery for 10 minutes, while the power supply is disconnected after adding a video card, or by deleting and trying to use the video again.
I don't know if the specifications of the two Councils are quite similar, you should look at the datasheet for your system and compare that against what ebay sellers asking them is capable of. Generally if you have a processor socket 775 lines they list and your using the same chipset, you should be able to simply plug in the parts and windows must be able to start pretty far to plug-and-play all the minor differences. This is the situation in which I expected, you can buy the replacement cards model you mentioned and it works perfectly except possibly having to install a driver or two, but I can't be sure without detailed specifications. They are very close to the info, I have found, might even be just a 2nd revision of the same Council of PCChips where everything what they changed was a clock IC generator or something similar that would not do your use in any way, except that to be sure, you have the good bios when looking on the HP site for the models with this Council in there instead of the bios for your system model #. If they take even a different bios which they cannot.

Satellite L300: problems trying to get the CD player work
Currently, I have a Satellite L300 unit and have problems trying to get my CD drive work.
Recently, I deleted the cd player, completely by chance instead of a printer.
Now it won't reinstall and no update driver makes no difference.
Anyone have any ideas?First of all, try to restore Windows back to a Restore Point prior to a date before the problem occurred. System Restore is in the start menu-> programs-> Accessories-> system tools
Then try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry, and then restart. Windows should find the CD Player automatically, unless the registry has been messed up.
When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.
(1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
(3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
(4) restart.If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

Hi koalabaer,
You have installed a SIM card in the Satellite A665-14F same the laptop doesn't have 3G card? Why have you done this? SIM card does not work with your laptop.

Satellite P300 - 150 PSPC4E: can't get slot Express Card work with XP
Hello.
I downgraded to XP on my machine and unfortunetly I am unable to get the Express card slot to work.
The Intel chipset on the Toshiba site drivers do not have not anything.
I'm trying to get an eSata port works thanks to the Express card as I did with Vista, but not with joy at all.
Any ideas?
Concerning
RobGo to the Device Manager and check if the Express card is installed properly, or if its an error.
You must update the BIOS with the latest version. BIOS updates can sometimes solve problems like this.
And make sure you have XP Service Pack 2 or 3 installed.
