Vista upgrade order doesn't look right

Hello!

The instructions in the PDF file on the site of Toshiba Vista Upgrade (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=UK&ID=2006-10-Vista-Express-Upgrade-UK) do not seem to be correct. I bought a Portege M400 on November 2, so after the beginning of the upgrade program. I also have a Vista capable logo on the laptop and the model number is listed in the eligibility list Vista and therefore suitable for an upgrade.

But the problem starts when I go on the site, which is listed in the upgrade instruction (it just said go to http://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vista/ and follow the instructions).

OK, so let's go:
(A) I'm going to http://upgradeweb.moduslink.com/Vista/
(B) to make sure that everything is set up for English and the United Kingdom.
(C) It asks me if I have a form of redemption Upgrade - which I did not - so I chose the 'no' (as far as I know, these forms are primarily for commercial versions eligible for an upgrade).
(D) I click on Vista
(E) an information page arrive, I click Next
(F) now it asks me to choose the dealer - what is weird because there are only a few manufacturers of Lenovo (Toshiba is not). So I click the button 'my computer dealer is not listed.
(G) a message appears: "If your computer dealer is not listed, your OEM can have a direct offer for products upgrade of Windows Vista. Contact your OEM directly for more details. »

That's all. What should I do now? OEM is Toshiba, Toshiba is not listed as the dealer (and in fact, he asks the dealer not the manufacturer) and according to the instructions on the Toshiba Vista Upgrade page, I just have to follow the instructions on moduslink.com - which ends with the result that I must ask my OEM (Toshiba) for an upgrade. So it's kind of a circle - Toshiba sends me to moduslink and moduslink back to Toshiba.

And by the way, Toshiba lists only in the instructions to upgrade the need to have a reception which is located in the upgrade period, the document does not ask for something else - and I doubt I'm missing something.

So what I do and how can I order my upgrade to Vista?

Thank you!

Alex

Hi guys

Have you checked if your laptops are available for an upgrade?
According to the Toshiba page not all laptops are ready for the release of Vista.
I visited the page recommended by lumix2day and found the link in the box:
Find out what Toshiba laptops are eligible for the Express Upgrade to
Windows Vista.

  • Progress bar doesn't look right in Windows 7

    I use a progress bar control and set the ATTR_USE_PROGESS_BAR_VISUAL_STYLES attribute. It works perfectly on Windows XP. The progress bar looks identical to Windows ones. However now check how it looks in Windows 7. No matter what either windows aero style is enabled or disabled, the progress bar seems very strange. He completed smoothly and do not complete all of the control - the edges are left vacant.

    I have attached the screenshot.

    Any ideas what I did wrong?

    Well, I don't see the problem. There is, indeed, a bug which prevents incremental updates to the chart now displays correctly when the progress bar is overlaid (and ridden by his own label control overlaps again, as if it was covered by a different control).

    This bug will be fixed in a next version. In the meantime, there is a workaround you can use: If you hide and redisplay the control immediately before setting the percentage, the drawing objects should disappear. For example:

    SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_PROGRESSBAR, ATTR_VISIBLE, 0);
    SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_PROGRESSBAR, ATTR_VISIBLE, 1);
    ProgressBar_SetPercentage (panelHandle, PANEL_PROGRESSBAR, newPercentage, NULL);

    Let me know if that will fix it for you.

  • Qosmio F30-127 is unable to read the Vista upgrade disc

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio F30 (127) with the standard front load Mat * a DVD-RAM (model UJ-846) Player.

    I have for months without any apparent problem burn a variety of CD DVD & (R/RW) and recently received my expected Vista Express Upgrade DVD which I assume adopts the format DVD RAM.

    After the upgrade of the BIOS to v3.4, I successfully installed upgrading startup, but only one of the hard drives (RAID) which has been recognized in my windows session (with the recoil, I would simply have used administrative tools > computer management > disk management) ;-(

    I reinstalled XP using the recovery disks provided original in preparation to retry the Vista upgrade a 2nd time to correct the alleged no recorded 2nd hard drive.

    However, on the startup of XP, the Vista Upgrade DVD doesn't have to be recognized at startup (i) or (ii) in the case of a Windows session, without a visible change in the drive icon to indicate the usual recognition.

    If I try to double click on the drive icon, I get the error message:

    "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error.

    I have read a number of threads of support which advises: (i) changing some registry keys, which seem to be unnecessary following a procedure of recovering costs of system; (ii) the transfer mode to DMA to PIO on the primary IDE channel in Manager devices, and (iii) the offending disk and IDE/ATAPI controllers Device Manager uninstall followed by a restart of switching. I tried (ii) & (iii) independently several times resulting in Windows Installer automatically the drivers for the hardware newly found followed by a final reboot, but the Enigma DVD persists.

    I tried to install the latest drivers for the DVD RAM driver, including vF103 firmware update in the Toshiba download pages, but the status quo remains.

    Ideas or current symptoms are swinging more and more towards the likely hardware malfunction?

    Thanks for listening...

    For me, it looks like a hardware problem, maybe the lens of the player is not clean or not can not calibrate correctly in the right position

    But try first to remove the drive from Device Manager and restart the laptop.
    The operating system should recognize what it again automatically. If you want to read from this CD, and then try again.

    If she will not change the situation, then I presume that it s a failure of the equipment.

    Have you had a glance at this startup repair disk?

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Windows 7 (Vista upgrade) to be used on a PC upgraded

    This general question was answered before, but I think that my situation is unique enough to justify a separate issue.

    I have myself to build a PC from scratch and Vista (64-bit), as the operating system (retail disk which I still have somewhere).
    When in College, I had the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 (64 bit) for a reduced price, and of course, I jumped at the chance. I went to the website of Microsoft store, provided my details University, downloaded the upgrade software and did the transfer. Awesome!
    Sound now (1? 2?) year (s) down the line and I'm looking to upgrade most / all of my pc. I know that you can transfer the license to upgrade from a PC but I can't find the email confirmation from Microsoft, the printed receipt seems to have disappeared during multiple changes of accommodation and therefore cannot find any windows 7 activation code.
    I have:
    The Vista CD and code
    The downloaded file that contains the application to install Windows 7 and Associates, but no activation code.
    What I would do:
    My brand new PC (new Mo disk, SSD, etc.), with windows 7 and not much else. I don't like on registration documents and other programs. I could save and sell them separately, but essentially, I want a fresh start.

    So if correctly, you want to install Windows 7 using the Vista upgrade existing Windows 7 upgrade and just need installation key, right?  If so, simply download and run the Belarc advisor and it will give you the keys to everything has been installed on the older computer.  You can download it from http://www.belarc.com .

    Understand that you must first install Vista and activate it before you can install the Windows 7 upgrade - it is the way in which Ms. designed to operate.  You will probably get a message to call MS when you are trying to activate, but you should be able to do after you jump through the right hoops.

    Good luck.

  • Re: Vista upgrade on Equium A100-147

    My wife and I are two retirees on a limited budget and can't afford to change the above machine and we would like to move from XP to Vista. Is it better to be upgraded or reformat and install full programs? Also should I get updates for other programs that are there?

    Thanks in advance

    Ken

    Hi Ken

    To be clear: Vista upgrade shouldn't be problematic. You must obtain Microsoft Vista DVD facilities and make the clean OS install. All necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

    To be honest I have to say that Alan is right about the upgrade and I agree with everything he writes. In the end I have to say: the decision is yours only.

    If you need more assistance please post again.
    Good luck!

  • Vista upgrade license - lost a tale of woe

    I have such a history of sobbing, but all this is TRUE...

    In January 2008, I bought an upgrade Windows Vista Edition full for my Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE) PC. I did it through Windows Marketplace and the so-called "Digital Locker". I had already run Vista upgrade Adviser and found that my computer was quite ready for the new OS. I downloaded the whole package on my HDD immediately that night. In addition, I bought an extension so that the software would be 'safe' to download even more time.

    I soon realized, however, that he was going to take a lot of work to perform the upgrade, including among other things, the old backup data, backup email and custom directories forms hidden from Outlook, etc. So I turned off for awhile...

    Then my wife and I made the decision that I needed to leave the family, move out of the country for several months and try to take off a business project. This meant that I had a LOT to do before I leave and made me to further delay my upgrade. You get the picture...

    All this leads to what is obvious - never, I installed upgrading, even if I paid a lot of money for this. And the installation files sitting on my computer (not used) at home for the duration, about 13 months.

    Then, Microsoft had some kind of unusual idea. They decided to close Windows Marketplace and build a new store from Microsoft. But where it's really me and my purchase?

    They said they sent a few emails warning that would close the Digital Locker service, but due to my absence, the birth of a little boy and other circumstances, I was NOT checking the old e-mail address they had on file for me. At the time when I wanted (and time) to install the OS for now, I discovered that the site had been completely closed. I've taken around to see what I could do about it, but still had so many things I did not as the highest priority, feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the work it would take to try to get new (time IS money).

    Now, I have a new network of SBS 2008, and I find that my XP MCE machine I brought from home (and acted for the last months as the peer-to-peer server) cannot join the domain. In fact, I discovered that it CAN, it just made during installation, OR you can use a so-called Hero Hack to get the registry suggests that it is possible.

    But I really don't want to join the SBS my old MCE machine; I want expensive want what I paid for my Vista Ultimate (who wouldn't?)!

    I've now spent hours and hours (8 and counting) Microsoft - on the phone, by e-mail. different departments - and have developed exactly zero. A manager at the Microsoft Store said hotline, after researching the issue, they have determined that there is no record kept of the old Windows Marketplace 'experience' and therefore no way to look to the top of my purchase. Myself, I can hardly believe that some recipes and information they generated through this site Web was everything simply "lost" or discarded.

    Here's what I would like to everyone on this forum interested in helping some poor soul:

    1. I'll post my e-mail address below. Please no spamming, but if you have a product key Vista Ultimate old that you no longer use and would like to donate, feel free to send it to me. I would be sincerely grateful humbly.
    2. If any of you have contact with Microsoft Corporation, please do not hesitate to tell them about my fate and run to the top of the stem. I am confident that someone was able to know what happened to me, they might like to see a happy customer and help me resolve this issue. Note that I am a MCSE (but only on NT4) and spent my life buy legal copiesunder license from everything I have ever installed (including all products of Microsoft, of course). I used to work for WordPerfect Corp., hold myself, my family and my business at a high level. Of course, that contain versions of test, but still...

    I am so disappointed with Windows Marketplace and Digital Locker service. I have paid for the extension of additional downloads. And the thing is, their approach was to never send anything with the details of the purchase,including the product key!

    The following is an exact quote from the email they sent me (I still have the original I found in my Outlook files):

    "You have successfully created an account for the service digital locker at Windows Marketplace." Now you can use the digital locker to download and install the software, recover the licenses,... .and look after your purchase information. »

    "The assistant service digital locker keeps all the license information on your PC to facilitate access. You have more to search your computer or e-mail messages to retrieve this information in one convenient place. [translation] Digital locker service also records billing information for quick and easy extraction on your next purchase. »

    I received this email on 14 January 2008, at 23:13. A minute later at 23:14, I received the following email:

    "Thank you for using the service digital locker at Windows Marketplace."

    "This email confirms that you have purchased successfully:

    "Microsoft® Windows Vista Ultimate UPGRADE".
    Quantity: 1
    Dealer: Microsoft

    "You can now access your license or licenses that have been delivered to your service digital locker."

    And that's all. No price is mentioned; No product key leaked; It was all through the Digital Locker service.

    So there you have it. If you want or can help me, I would be ever so much obliged. Hereby, I PROMISE you that I won't ever crazy enough to wait two years before trying to install something that I bought online, even if it was a task as big as the installation of an operating system! I will gladly accept any form of punishment imposed, with the only exception being to lose the Vista Ultimate license and the hard-earned served to pay for this product (we are a bit poor, butstill I never pirate software). Don't forget, the installation files have been sitting on my hard drive since that night of January.
