Updated BIOS for Compaq F700 computer laptop Windows 7 OS
I am trying to upgrade the BIOS for Compaq F700 computer laptop F.04 to F.08 worm!
I can do it under Windows 7 OS (the sp39468 WinFlash file is recommended under Vista environment)?
Thank you
Make sure that your antivirus program is disabled. It should be in safe mode, but check to be sure.
If the antivirus program is active for a windows-based BIOS flash, the antivirus program may try to interrupt the flash 'think' a virus attacks the BIOS. A BIOS flash interrupted computer = death.

Satellite U400 - update BIOS for Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64-bit
I currently have Vista 32 bit on my U400. I intend to do a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit. I downloaded all the necessary drivers on the Toshiba site for the 64-bit Windows 7 update. I noticed there is a BIOS of Vista 64 bit driver. Do I need to install this before you proceed with the installation or after?
So, is there a particular order to install all the drivers, utilities and applications?
Thank you
Hey Buddy,
Normally, this update of the BIOS must be made. You will need to use all the features of your laptop.
I have improved my U400 Vista 32 bit to Vista 64-bit. After this update I started the update of the BIOS. Everything worked properly during this procedure because I closed all programs that are running (also AntiVirus/firewall) and was registered as an administrator.
About installation order I didn t find a specific list, so I used this command:
-Chipset
-Display
-Sound
-LAN
-WLAN
-Card reader

I can't find Windows Defender under my services for my computer laptop windows 7.
* Original title: Windows Defender
I can't find Windows Defender under my services for my computer laptop windows 7.
(Moved to repair and recovery)
Hello
Windows Defender on Windows 7 is only antispyware. It has disabled (to avoid potential conflicts) during the installation of various programs of anti-malware to include (but not necessarily limited to) AVG, McAfee, MSE and Norton.
So, probably your antivirus product has disabled Windows Defender. If so, you should not try to turn on WD.
See you soon,.

I don't remember my password for my computer laptop windows 7
I forgot my password on my computer laptop windows 7. It is a small laptop, so there isn't a disc compartment. I can't buy a floppy disk or a usb at the moment flash drive either. I was hoping there is a way to recover or change my password?
No, the only way to recovery will involve your booting from the Windows installation disc * [this can be done on a 4 GB USB DRIVE, but you would need access to another PC to make]. The only other way would be to restore the factory settings
If you have an existing 4 GB USB, you can save the files to somewhere else and then perform the recovery and then reformat the USB key to put your old files on it when you are finished.
[* If you have an optical drive, you could do a disc repair system instead.] If you know someone who has Windows 7 (32 bit, I guess that, in your case - it must be the same as yours) so that he could do a disk system repair & transfer it on a USB key which must only be 406MB or maybe a little less. The instructions for this are also in the link below.]
If get you your hands on a USB and then see the instructions of the guide to recovering lost password Windows 7 Home Premium account user, can't connect, connection problem
Him begins the article with some basic steps you can take and then work upwards through more complicated methods where the easiest do not solve the problem. Please read the intro, but I think it will be the 8 method which solves your problem. Follow the precautionary measures later in the thread as well.
You could be up & running again within an hour, probably less.
If you have any questions, post it here; I'll keep an eye on your question.

In addition, anyone know if XP is compatible with the model above.
Appreciate your help.
Thank you
RenuThe fact is that you have a model of cell phone US and everything you need you can find in http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp
There you can select your model laptop and see what Toshiba offers. You'll find BIOS update 1.8 with support for Windows XP Home edition. Updating the BIOS will not help solve this problem with disk HARD invisible but you need this update of the BIOS for the full support of Windows XP Home edition feature.
For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need SATA driver. Click on the link posted by the previous user.
Just one last thing: for WXP installation using Windows XP Home with SP2 integrated.Good luck!
