Useless software?

• Complaining about the delivery of the software/drivers in a new computer.

  About 2 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite A660.
  After you open the box and all first from this computer, it was cluttered with tons of useless software.
  Each restart of usually take far too long for such a powerful computer.
  Take a look at the list of processes, there was a huge amount of current process.
  What is all this! ??? What are you doing in my computer! ??
  After some research, I discovered that a few of them what they made, and the rest are still unknown to me.
  And those that I discovered was absolutely unnecessary and superfluous.
  After each start up, the HARD drive makes a frantic scratching to treat all the softwareit is charged.
  Despite the huge amount of ongoing process, the remote was not working.

  Why Toshiba offers a computer brand new powerful and enjoyable in this condition! ???

  I decided to install a new OWN Windows 7 Ultimate.
  I spent the last 2 weeks trying to do.
  The drivers and the software trick is to be a NIGHTMARE.
  I spent last week by train to get things to work again... and I'm about to give up.

  The drivers are a mess... some are undocumented, others do not work, others do nothing.
  There is no way of knowing what is REALLY necessary and which do not.
  There are unknown tasks / undocumented (this is a brand new 800 euros; computer... Why should I undocumented patches inside)
  Drivers Toshiba page there are 57 thingies to download the Toshiba... you just may not INCLUDE adjustments to the installation of the drivers.

  When I asked for the support that they gave me a "Toshiba Software install" program.
  An automated tool that will make my work computer! Finally!
  After you downloaded and installed all the stuff she needed, this is the result:
  * The Panel buttons not working do not.
  * No ECO feature
  * Stil remote control does not
  * Hardware acceleration with the version of the incorrect driver, makes the games run at a very low speed.
  * Port Ethernet does not exist.
  * Webcam does not

  I use computers for more than 17 years and NEVER had such troubles, the confussion and the refectory with the drivers.
  I'm a systems engineer and software developer, so I know a little about the software and drivers.
  And never had so much trouble to make a system work fully.
  I spent hours reading forums and vague or incomplete information everywhere on web of Toshiba.
  I just want a computer that works simply, effectively, according to the price I paid for it.
  Do not have a PROBLEM of 2 weeks.

  Despite the material is excellent, the part of the drivers/software is a mess.
  I'm just tired and will return it and ask for a refund.

  Hello Zabalero

  In general I put t read long assignments, but the topic of this thread was interesting and I made the decision to read what you have to say about software pre-installed.

  I put t know what do you want now. Did you just searched for a place where you can write about it or you need assistance?

  In any case, I can understand you if you think that there are a bunch of useless stuff but as experienced system engineer, you know very well how this works and what the laptop manufacturers are offering. We are here on the Toshiba forum and write about Toshiba, but there is not much difference if you check the other laptop manufacturers.

  Optimization of the operating system is not so complicated and in 30 minutes, you can have perfect OS pre-installed (the recovery image optimization). Okay, your decision was clean installation of the OS. It's OK, but you know very well you have to install a lot of drivers and Toshiba specific stuff in addition one by one and this must be done in the proper installation order.

  In general I think you didn't raise enough information on your new machine. In s manuals you will find a description of each tool of Toshiba and utility with exact explanation that you can do with it.
  On the one hand you want to have only necessary things, but later complain of missing features. Problem is that buttons face, utility eco, remote control, webcam and all other hardware components are controlled with different Toshiba tools and utilities so they must be active in the background and it's certainly not useless.
  I put t know what else to say.
  I just hope that you created the recovery DVDs until you started the clean install of the OS.

  If you have made the decision to return to your laptop back any further discussion will probably not help you much.

  Bye and good luck.

• Changes to software update of the blackBerry Smartphone device

  I just updated my device software, that does not need to do, and there is some changes that have been made that I would have changed back to factory settings and I was wondering if it is possible.

  First question: can I cancel this update of useless software to restore factory settings?      If it isn't...

  Second qustion: How can I change "Default unit" on the device to another parameter (for example, in the calendar)?

  Another question: when displaying emails, is it possible to set the device to always display images in emails?

  Thank you for your helpful suggestions.

  Thank you for your help.

  For your help with question 1, I don't think I have a go uninstall, and then reinstall the device software.  I think this is the current version of the software and I agree with it.

  2nd edition, as fact.

  Question No. 3, both selections were already set to 'yes' and again, was not automatically open images.

  I think it's something I won't have to deal with that.  If I can find some difficulty then good, then that's fine as well.

  Thank you

• which is: ErrorDescRemoving_FailedToLaunchTask

  I get this error ErrorDescRemoving_FailedToLaunchTask when you run the system optimization software. All the answers to what? And how to fix it.

  Alan

  Probably an artifact of the useless software on your Mac.

  Without any other context, I would say that it is an error generated by the program that you were using and need to ask the developer of what it means. Even though it was an internal error of Apple, the developer of the software would know why it has been triggered.

• Satellite R630 - special keys stopped working

  I just got my R630 I started to delete some of the 'useless' software, and some of the special FN keys on my keyboard no longer works as the wireless switch keys, the keyboard power button more eco and display buttons on the top right of the keyboard output.

  Any ideas on how to restore then? Thank you

  Hey,.

  Why you deleted the software? I mean Toshiba install all the necessary drivers and tools that you can use your correctly with all the features of easy. Then why you remove the tools from Toshiba?

  In any case, you need Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. These two tools control the FN keys where you can turn off WLAN, touchpad, etc..

  All what you need you can find here:

  Hello

  Many users think that the pre-installed tools are not necessary: it's fake
  Laptops are not desktop PC. Many portable computers of new generation supports additional features, which must be controlled by software!

  -VAP (value added package), utility of flash media Cards are needed to control the FN keys.
  -Toshiba recovery disc creator is necessary to create the own recovery disk!
  -Toshiba eco utility control the energy consumption of the laptop and helps you extend the battery work!
  -Facial recognition Toshiba is necessary to get the face recognition to work... This feature allows windows to connect with the image of the face

  - and so on...

  As you see it s not bloatware, but really important means of course if you don t want to use these functions for portable computer, you can remove this

• Satellite A100-350 and internet connection running slowly

  The internet is very slow and run some applications run very slowly and do not work well. Access Mozilla Firefox is slow. The application 360 off mininova.com sharepro responds No and jams. I never get anywhere with this program.

  This computer behaves like a broken record.
  Anyone have any ideas?

  Download yourself a spyware detect software like "Adaware" and clean your laptop with it.
  I think that it is somehow filled with useless software that runs in the background. You can
  even try to disable some temporary applications such as antivirus and see if you have any improvement.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite A100 (PSAAA9)

  I currently have a Satellite A100 with a Centrino Duo T2400 (1.83 GHz) CPU inside her. I was thinking of upgrading the processor in the system and I was wondering how the options available to me?

  I think go to a Core2Duo processor as well as upgrade the RAM to 2 GB (Vista Ultimate is a little slow when running many applications therefore wanting to upgrade the two CPU & RAM).

  The upgrade of the processor is not a problem for me (and I'm not worried about voiding the warranty that the price of notebooks came down significantly that buying a replacement would be less of a hassle to return the machine to the Toshiba).

  Thanks in advance

  PS. Vista works perfectly well on the A100 with full Aero tirned on with the mobility X 1400 module provided.

  Hello

  at first, I must say, I Don t understand these people who are trying to change the basic elements of a laptop. It s not your desktop! ;)
  Why you´re so buy this machine? Why you don t buy a machine with a Core2Duo processor? Perhaps you then Don t have to risk voiding your warranty. So, it s isn't my problem, but I just wanted to say.

  On the technical side (now we´re come to my thing :)) upgrading your machine will be impossible in this way you would expect.)
  The centrino duo is a cpu so so familiar with chipset you´re plug, then you know that the intel 945 GM chipset, which is integrated in this series of machines, is just specified to handle pure mobile cpu´s mobile.

  And what you think is the core 2 duo? It s not a mobile CPU and it s not possible to manage a core2duo with this chipset. Maybe a CoreDuo...
  Just a quick reminder: centrino duo has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the Core2Duo architecture!

  Have you even thought about the heat dissipation? How a cooling system that has been designed with a centrino duo would handle a Core2Duo with absolutely different heat?

  I recommend to upgrade your RAM and do not install is not useless software that breaks the performance of your machine, so won´t you need to cancel your warranty...

  I wish you a good weekend and good luck in the upgrade of your machine

• How can I make windows 7 clean install on the new hp?

  I just bought a H8XT.  He took over with a bunch of useless software.  I want to format the hard drive and reinstall windows 7 me.  However, the computer came not with the disc of the operating system.  How can I do this?  My last computer is a Dell that came with the operating system software, and it was pretty simple.  I do not know how without the operating system disks.  Thank you.

  As o_g suggested, first create your HP recovery disk.

  Download the ISO (disk image) of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit a company named Digital River download Microsoft partner. Once this downloaded, you have to burn the image on a DVD to an installation of Windows 7 bootable disc.

  See my PM (private message) for instructions.

• The value of creating a section of boot on a new SSD drive, an HP recovery disc?

  I got a Kingston SSD 120 GB for Cristmas. Happy me! I have problems because the instalation of all recovery discs fails by copying the files from the recovery partition. Then starts the copy function, but stop at 12% and then nothing happens. If I try to reboot the computer tells me the man is no boot disk. Is there anyone who has had the same experience? What can I do? I just bought a full set of HP recovery disks.

  Unfortunately, he says does not work. I got a message that there was an orror with the disc, and a recovery was not possible. I reduced the size of the recovery so that my new drive was big enough, but it won't work.

  I bought a HP recovery media something like $ 50, espesialy designed for my installation. He din will not work either.

  I downloaded Windows 7 Home premium software of windows, installed forum Web site a TI went well spent, except my password that I have only an OEM license. Software OEM can only be downloaded, isen can't this sad!

  Now I suppose that I wil have to buy a new win 7, with lots of media, to get because I guess I give up with HP and missing support. I will newer buy a HP computer again it comes in terms of dealing with HP, even computers normally work well. I think that I bought about 5 HP PC so far.

  At least, I hope I get a refund on the useless software that I have purchased from HP.

• HP Total Care Advisor - PC health and safety

  Hello

  For some reason any my HP total Care Advisor is not picking up I have McAfee Security Center installed.  My McAfee is current.  It is a new brand of Tower and the only reason why I can guess that it is not picking it up is that it came with a free trial of Norton that I didn't install that I choose to go with McAfee instead.  Does anyone know of a work around to show him my McAfee?

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  Kathy

  Hello

  Run Uninstall HP total Care Advisor, it's a useless software. McAfee and Norton are not so good. Norton, sometimes even more problems give benefits. Try nod32 from Eset.

  While Vista is not my favorite operating system, if it is installed on a solid material that supports, set up correctly, and don't abuse not the end user, Vista behaves very well. So if you are having problems with Vista, I suspect that the problem is really caused by the last factor mentioned in my previous sentence. I choose the word "mcafee [sic]" in that mess above, and who speaks to me a lot of the end user in this case. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Bridge for Mac crashes constantly

  I'm under the bridge for Mac 3.8 on a 32-bit MacBook Pro with OS x 10.6.8.

  I tried to transfer music from iTunes to the Z2 without success.  Each time, it ends with bridge for Mac crashing or with a failure error.  If I try one file at a time it works, but if I try to transfer several files in a playlist, even if there is space on the Z2, the transfer fails.

  Found the solution.  Downloaded File Transfer of Google Android. Has managed to drag any playlist directly on the phone, files transferred from 1000 in 20 minutes.  Then uninstalled bridge for Mac.  Bit useless software!  Has anyone actually Sony test before release?

• How to recover a W7 OS on the new HARD disk USB flash drive?

  I have my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop friends. HARD drive have a lot of bad sectors, but it was fun to do:

  • a copy of the image of recovery dell USB flash drive via Dell Backup and Recovery Application
  • a copy of the very important files
  • and a copy of the 2 partitions to each image using Acronis True Image application file:
  1. FAT16 Pri 39, 19 MB FS: FAT16 Partition: 0xde (EISA configuration)
  2. Pri, Act 14.65 GB NTFS RECOVERY

  RECOVERY partition have the same content, such as a usb flash drive with I used to do a recovery Dell image.

  If she buys a new drive HARD this what should I do/use to recover Windows 7 from a USB?

  PS. I have nothing to lose and I try to play with the hard drive has failed.
  First of all I do partition of LBA 0 to 80 GB first where bad sectors and hide this partition.
  Then I do these partitions 2 "dell" and the rest for system files.
  Then I recover these partitions of 2 "dell" using Acronis True Image.
  Then I use a usb flash drive to recover Windows 7, it retrieves for maybe 10 seconds and he said that, please restart.
  When it shows BOOTMGR is missing, press ctrl + alt + delete and now I see only 2 partitions labeled OS ~ 298 GB and RECOVERY ~ 2 GB.

  The problem is resolved.

  The best solution is to use ImageX 2.0 to extract file Factory.wim partition RECOVERY or USB flash drive. Just search on google. New installation of operating system is also an option - I know about it. Fortunately, this Dell factory contains no useless software.

  Thanks for all the help!
