"Unreliable" start with Windows XP Pro (Satellite Pro M70-275)

Hello friends,

I've owned my Toshiba laptop for a few months now; I did one or two scans to clean and reinstalled the operating system but have not experienced any problems until recent days. All of a sudden one day the computer don't boot. The Toshiba screen as usual, then just a black screen. On the next attempt, I got a screed of text explaining that Windows could not start normally again, and some options how do this time (mode IE safe mode, safe mode without network etc...)
I chose the option "Normal startup"; It worked, but now I need to try several times before Windows starts in fact normally.

What happens here? Operating system works very well once it is up and running, but it's kind of fear whenever he does not start without effort. I'm trying to save my data just in case...

Should I reinstall? Want to avoid a month or to and install Vista in place... :)

Kind regards

Hello

Believe me, it is not possible to say what the problem is here, but if you are able to boot OS somehow try to restore the operating system on time earlier (before this strange issue started) by using the System Restore tool.

Maybe this will help!

By the way: on my Satellite M70-159 Vista works fine!

    Two points:

    1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
    you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

    2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
    motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
    disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
    the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
    If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
    legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
    the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
    license dies with him.

  • Set up a wireless HP all-in-one printer on your desktop with Windows XP Pro Version 5.1 SP3

    Recently, I uninstalled Solution Center HP from my desktop PC with Windows XP Pro Version 5.1 SP3.  The program worked very well and was connected wireless to my HP Photosmart all-in-One 309 g.

    Now, when I downloaded the latest software feature full HP and installed, it has completed the installation but could not connect to the wireless printer.  Setting up the wireless printer, he did 'see' the HP 309 g printer and I chose this but it gave me a dialog box saying that there was no installation configuration.  I also, tried the control panel "Add Hardware", but he couldn't 'find' the printer.  What should I do?

    You have an icon for the 309 g Photosmart in Start menu > printers and faxes?

    If so, right-click on it, select Properties, and click the Ports tab.
    By ensuring NOT to click inside the list, use the scroll bar on the right until you see the line highlighted and verified with the port used for this printer.  That said this line in the columns 'Port' and 'Description '?

    Note that you may need to click and drag on the small vertical line between 'Port' and 'Description' in the header line to make the column wide enough to read the entire entry.

    Click Cancel to exit the printer properties dialog box.

  • New computer with Windows 7 Pro installed - also came with disks to Windows 8 Pro - what I lose everything?

    I recently bought a new computer. It was announced to come with Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. Since the announcement, I assumed that it would be implemented for a dual-boot (something that I have never made or used it before).

    In another section of this community, I have posted a question, "what happens first – the chicken or the Egg," asking if I would like to transfer my data and applications before that upgrade to Windows 8 or after. I received responses almost half a dozen all recommend that I transferred my files prior to upgrade. With the new software of practice by hand and using a cable standard CAT5, I transferred all my files, including data and most of my applications, my old computer to the new computer. The transfer takes about six hours and I had about an hour of work later to install my pst, BOINC, Malwarebytes, etc..

    I decided that today would be the day and I would upgrade to Windows 8. There are three disks to:

    1. the claims & recovery of pilots

    2. system recovery disk for operating

    3 supplemental Recovery Disc

    However, when reading the attached brochure, there is a warning very clear that if I use these discs, I lose all my apps and data and will have to start from scratch. In many previous editions of Windows, I remember using upgrade disks. Recovery disks were what I did when I first installed the new computer.

    So, I ask, this is the only way I can achieve this? Am I condemned to throw seven hours of work? Y there is a place, less painful alternatives?

    Thank you

    Steve

    Unfortunately, this is how the work of recovery discs, they do not operate like retail disk that will give you the ability to dual boot.

    Your options are limited.

  • Satellite C660-1CN - touchpad do not start with Windows

    Hello
    I have problem with Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1CN PSC0QE.

    Touchpad do not start with Windows 7 Home Premium.
    All the drivers are up to date.
    BIOS - lastest.

    After logon, I need to click on * double * "FN + F9" and after it is OK until the next reboot.

    I tried:
    several drivers of Synaptics - no change.
    Reinstall Windows - no change.
    Mini Windows XP Hiren - no work.
    Default BIOS - no change

    After that I installed 'toshiba value added package' I can't turn on the touch pad at all.

    To be honest, I never heard the show. According to specification for laptop, your laptop came with Win7 home premium 64-bit. With factory settings touchpad should be activated after the OS has started.
    I can read you have reinstalled Windows. Have you reinstalled with the original recovery image and tested with factory settings?

  • Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

    Upgrade/license transfer

    I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

    If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

    If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

    Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

    How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

    Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

  • Dell optiplex 745 with Windows 7 Pro

    I just bought a Dell Optiplex 745 refurbished with Windows 7 Pro.  It came with a HP Windows 7 Pro re install the disc and when I'm asked them thereon, they stated that a re HP install disk is identical to a Dell disk.  Is this true and if not what problems it will create if I have to re install Windows 7.

    They are the two Windows 7, one that said you is accurate, but there are also significant differences.  Dell Media is intended to be installed on a Dell computer and activate automatically, without the need for manual entry of the product key.  HP is designed to do the same... on a HP machine.  There is a good chance that he would not accept the Dell product key either... even if she have installed successfully.  In addition, most of the OEM media even install on other than a machine correspondent (HP discs usually install on Dell, not vice versa).

  • Problem connecting to the Buffalo TeraStation with Windows 7 Pro

    Our network has a server running Win2K AD files.  We have added a Buffalo TeraStation TS - X 2. BTA/R5 for more than a year to complete our storage.  Since that time, we had computers, Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista Pro, and trendy Home and works very well with the Buffalo TeraStation.  Recently, we have replaced Windows 2000-based computers with Windows 7 Pro computers.  Everything works fine - except that they do not connect to the TeraStation.  I can ping the TeraStation.  I can see the TeraStation.  But when I click on the TeraStation to access folders and files, I get an error as follows: "the folder. \\TS-XLFAA is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  The user name is not found. "All the other workstations access the TeraStation very well, because they always have.  I can't find a solution to this problem.  I tried setting the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel' value to 1 and changed "network security: LAN Manager authentication level" to"send LM and NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated". as suggested by others, but it didn't work.  Any ideas?  I have several Windows 7 Pro computers that cannot access the TeraStation storage.  Help!  Thank you...

    Browsing through the posts, I found something that worked.  It was suggested to disable the use of IPv6 in network properties and use the ip address of the NAS instead of the server name.  I opened windows Explorer and typed in the address like this: \\192.168.1.11\ and the server was available immediately... Thanks CODY!

  • Free copy of Windows XP with Windows 7 Pro.

    I see where you can get a free copy of Windows XP with Windows 7 Pro or higher.  This free copy is available only if I run under Virtual PC?  I would pass under virtualbox but can't see anywhere allows me to download separate XP in Virtual PC.

    I hope that someone out there has done this and can let me know how to proceed.
    Thanks for any help.
