• Satellite M70 - I want to upgrade to Vista

  Hello.

  Three days before I seek assistance and advice in this thread if I upgrade a Satellite M70 (PSM71) of XP - Pro to Vista.
  Thanks for the advice coming from Luke_1 & Eldorado I could do my studies before the upgrade.

  Today I was searching Internet and I found this page:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/tsb7201sk002hr01.htm

  This page tell me that my computer is not supported to be upgraded from Toshiba.

  So, what can I do?
  Thank you.

  Hello!

  Why start a new thread?

  However, the Satellite M70 (PSM70) is ranked on the site of Toshiba notebook compatible for an upgrade to Vista.
  The PSM71 is similar to the PSM70 and on the site of Toshiba, that I can find all the drivers for Vista you need.

  So you can upgrade it to Vista.

  Good bye

• Upgrade satellite Vista M30 - need drivers

  Hello

  I'm pretty clueless about computers and upgrades to Vista to realize I needed drivers. I have a M30-604, and where I would be able to find drivers for I can use wireless etc.

  Thank you

  Carol

  Hello Carol

  Unfortunately I have to disappoint you. Satellite M30 is quite old and it will certainly not supported in Vista. Because of this, you will not be able to find a driver for Vista on Toshiba download page. As far as I know Just notebooks with Vista capable sticker must be supported.

  I have Satellite M70 and it is also not supported, but I managed to install Vista and everything works fine. Driver audio I found Googling autour.

  Sorry! :(

• Pavilion d61 40f PC: upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 (64-bit)

  I am trying to upgrade Windows Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 (64 bit) on an older machine.  In order to go forward the installation, I get the message that I need to uninstall the following programs: Business Manager and Anti-Malware Core.  I looked under "programs" and "programs" on my C: drive, but I can't find any progams by those names.

  Can someone tell me what I should look for, and where/how do I uninstall these files?

  I am a novice and would appreciate your help in simple language. Thank you very much!

  What you have is a rogue malware. Get the free Malwarebytesand scan.  During installation, you will see one already ticked box (trial) enabled. Just uncheck that.

• Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

  HII!

  IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

  The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?
  They will return the laptop for windows xp or from my laptop has another operating system they will not work?

  Also...
  What's the deal with BIOS? : S
  I don't understand!
  If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

  Thank you!

  The restore CD will of course work.
  The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

  > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
  > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

  Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
  In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.

  Best regards

• Upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate

  This is a question for someone at Toshiba:

  I have a copy of the Windows Vista Ultimate DVD (given a conference I attended) and I would like to use it to upgrade my Satellite laptop to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. This morning I did a clean install using this DVD, but then when I installed the drivers Toshiba I found that the HD-DVD player will not settle.

  I guess that because it did not recognize the laptop as a Toshiba laptop, is that correct?

  So I used the Toshiba Recovery CD to return to a working laptop again once (and has spent all afternoon recovering all my backup files), but I always upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I could change just the product key of my system (from the control panel-> system) on a Vista Ultimate key, but I fear that the software Toshiba value added (HD-DVD player, etc.) will stop working.

  Otherwise, I could do a DVD upgrade install but this will take ages and again, I'm afraid that the Toshiba value added software will stop working.

  Someone at Toshiba can confirm the safe way to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.

  Thank you

  Darren

  Hi Darren

  Just one thing at the beginning:
  > This is a question for someone at Toshiba
  Sorry, but you have misunderstood something. This is the forum user and you will not receive response from Toshiba directly.

  Return to describes the problem:
  I have very good experience with the Vista upgrade. I installed the clean version of Vista Ultimate on my laptop Satellite A200. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba supports the page.

  On a Toshiba DVD drive I can't tell at the moment but the reading of similar positions, it must be just a update and because of this it cannot be installed on your laptop.

  For me the best solution for you is to change the activation key and use Vista Ultimate. When activated you can update all Toshiba including PPV stuff. It has no influence on the version of the OS preinstalled.

• Satellite A120: upgrade of Vista - number of invalid COA

  I just (15 February 2007) bought a Toshiba laptop, A120, with an offer to upgrade to Vista. To take advantage of this offer, I have to go to a website ("Moduslink") and enter the details of the laptop computer and the operating system bundled with it on the site.

  When I enter the number COA for Windows xp professional on the website of Moduslink I get the error message "we're sorry but we are unable to validate your COA number."

  I checked the number of COA on the underside of my laptop and re-tried several times, but without success.

  Where should I go from here?

  Please see the other topics on Vista update of Moduslink and you will find a lot of interesting comments. As far as I know you must wait 48 hours and try to reorder the Vista upgrade.

  Post here on Toshiba page will not help you because all of this is controlled by Moduslink and according to the information of a PC magazine here Moduslink is owned by Microsoft. Toshiba is to give CDs to upgrade with all the drivers, tools and utilities for the Vista operating system. It's nothing more than that.

  Problem with upgrade > Moduslink!

• How to get a free upgrade to Vista?

  I can't find the answer to a simple question of how to get my free upgrade to Vista and what I need to do and where I need to send the information. I bought my laptop in November and the right am to the free update.

  Toshiba makes it deliberately hard to find while they can make money off of not providing the info, so people give up? I'm going nuts trying to find the info.

  Thank you

  Good luck! You have more chance get Vista drivers Toshiba as a free update. Basically, they announce the offer available only in the United States, in Europe, you will pay a company called Moduslink.

  The media player shortcut key do not work
  If I install the toshiba value-added, the Fn + f1, f2... no longer work.

  and also, the BLUE SCREEN.

  I don't know if anyone can help me and thak you

  Hello

  already made an update of the BIOS? It would be useful, maybe it s just because the BIOS does not correctly handle the Ultimate. What drivers did you download?

  It s a bit tricky, but I think that if you reinstall, and then put the drivers on it, it should work. Don't forget: Vista Ultimate needs a lot of resources and a bunch of useless stuff that can cause the machine does not properly.

• Audio lost after upgrade to Vista on a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E

  Hello

  I just upgraded to vista and I lost my audio. I tried all the latest orders, still no luck. The pc says the driver is installed and the device works correctly, but I can't hear anything. Volume is 100% also.

  Any ideas?

  Well, first of all how someone should provide advice, if you n t write anything on the name cell phone you! ???
  Then please provide more details on your laptop!

  I noticed the same problem on the satellite U200. After upgrading from XP to Vista there is no sound, but the audio driver has been correctly installed and audio chipset has also been recognized correctly.

  After a long investigation, I found a solution here in the forum.
  First, it was important to increase the volume to the maximum with XP installed. Together sound controls must also be set to max.
  Be sure to use the RIGHT driver sound after the new installation of Vista.
  Not all drivers are working!

• Tecra M7: Upgrading to Vista SP1 of XP - what drivers/utilities to use?

  I'm installing from a DVD of MS Vista with SP1 included. Then, direct upgrade to Vista SP1. Vista is in and everything seems to work fine, except the screen rotation and probably a few specific applications, I've not yet tried.

  Toshiba offers a set of drivers and utilities for upgrades from Vista. Some of them are for 2006 and 2007.

  I think that if everything works well, why rock the boat?

  So I'm looking to install only the drivers and utilities that Vista does not already cover. Minimum play.

  Has anyone tried this before? Any informed guesses?

  Toshiba recommendations are included at the end of this pdf Vista upgrade: [Vista Upgrade Link | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=1715396&moid=1364134&rpn= PTM70U&BV_SessionID=@@@0821127523.1220637683@@@& BV_EngineID = ccccadefdidkeeecgfkceghdgngdgnj.0 & ct = D L & all_docs = false]

  There was an issue witht sp1 driver Intel wireless. I'll make this one to include.

  And thank you!

  John

  Hello

  > I think if everything works well, why rock the boat?
  I agree with you that I would install only the drivers that are really needed.

  In my opinion, you need:
  Display driver
  Flash Media Driver
  Audio driver
  Touch Pad Driver
  Value Added Package
  LAN and WLan driver

  In my opinion, these applications are recommended
  Other software like driver Config Free, Bluetooth, Fingerprint Software, etc. are not neccessry for me because I don't use it every day or every time

• After upgrading to Vista my Toshiba MCE Remote Control doesn't help

  Hi all.

  As I wrote in the subject line really. Buy Toshiba laptop with the option of upgrading to Vista by releasing. Setting up my new laptop and waiting for Vista to arrive, I ordered the direct remote control (with USB wireless "dongle") of this Web site.

  He arrived soon and I was up and going, watching video content HD via DVI - HDMI cable I bought also from the comfort of my armchair.

  Then came my copy of Vista. I was so happy! Then I discovered that drivers do not seem to work and there is no update on the Toshiba site.

  Now I have to lift me up out of my comfy chair to put on the next video. I'm a toned guy - it's not as if I need the exercise!

  Thanks for reading what I realize now is somewhat a position of "epic", and I hope someone can help me out or point me in the right direction at least.

  Thank you!

  Hello

• Question about upgrading to Vista on Satellite P15

  Hello

  I think the move to Vista, but some things are confusing me. I have a Satellite P15 with an OEM XP Home installed package. Am I good to buy another DVD of Vista OEM use to level or that will cause some kind of conflict with the etc. hidden restore partition.

  I understand it to be if I chose to upgrade and want to completely install Vista from new I have to reformat my hard drive? It's a tough call. Is it possible to simply upgrade to Vista, but keep everything I already installed at all? I have tons of useful stuff and tons of waste which I'm also not lose and don't spend hours, it backs up all fancy, all as I don't want to have dual-boot to be honest. It's Vista or XP, not both for me.

  Any ideas?

  I guess my biggest concern is another package to OEM OEM compatibility and whether the P15 him will at all.

  See you soon!

  Hello

  As prior use has already proposed, you must create a second partition on your HARD drive and install Vista as OS second on the created part.
  This should be a better way to use this operating system with Windows XP.

  I installed the Vista in the same way. First of all, I created the partition Magic 8 partition and then installed the Vista operating system.
  and I must say; He works ;)

• Satellite P205-S6257: Chicony USB Webcam does not work after upgrade to Vista Ultimate

  I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate Home and now my Webcam does not work. When I tried to update the driver, I get a message that says that Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...

  The installation file forthis training device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

  I succumbed to find the drivers on the Chicony website. My laptop is a Satellite P205-S6257 and the Toshiba is not yet display on their support site. I don't have a disk for webcam.

  Any suggestions?

  I wish more users would use the advanced search for the Toshiba forum because many topics have already been discussed here and the solution was already planned.
