    I bought a 2950 on Ebay the month last but never had the intention on the installation of a Windows operating system, but I downloaded the ISO of DVD here file and installed without any problem they send you a key to save the operating system. I updated the bios after this and no problem. You never said how many hard drives you have, but make sure that you have two or more. So far, I've installed VMWare ESXi which was supported on 2950 but I settled with XenServer 6.5.0 and I 2003 server running as a virtual machine which works very well.

  • Satellite P100 - 194 PSPA6E does not start and will not let me install Windows

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite phone, witch, I got from my brother. I don't know what he did with it, but he does not know.

    When I start the PXE - E61 "Media test failure, check cable" appears. In the BIOS I put in the directory Boot LAN mode on the last position, but despite this failure E61 appears.

    I tried to reinstall Windows XP. The laptop started from the CD and the blue screen appeared and loaded XP drivers needed. But at the end of it, when you enter normally on the menu to choose where to install windows, the screen is black and in the upper left corner a small beam blinked on and outside and nothing happens plus.
    The same thing happens when I leave the laptop HARD drive and start again from the XP installation CD but this time without the HARD disc logically.
    So I thought that the HARD drive is broken and I put it in my desktop PC to test. I installed XP on the drive HARD Satellite in my PC, which worked without problems in my PC. So, I come to the conclusion that the HARD drive is not broken.
    And my BIOS Satellite detects my HARD drive and displays the name of it.

    But what is the problem with the laptop when it is not the HARD drive and BIOS show the good name of the HARD drive? Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    The story is very strange boyfriend generally that the PXE error if the laptop tries to boot from LAN. But in the case where starting LAN source in unavailable, the PXE error appears and shows this message.

    Usually, the BIOS passes LAN Boot option because the other options are not active. This means that the CD/DVD drive does not any bootable disk and the HARD disk is dead.

    So, as you can see you hypothesis was right that the HARD drive could be faulty

    In any case, try to access the BIOS and set it to the default settings save changes and then try to reinstall Windows XP.
    You might also try another HARD drive, I know as your fist HDD recognized correctly but it s worth a try to test the 2nd HARD drive.

  • Windows Update causes high CPU AND not let me install Windows 10

    Windows 7 update has several issues:

    1 Windows Update Service causes the CPU usage high - CPU usually works 50% or more with a single SVCHOST.exe running.  I click with the right button on the SVCHOST entry in Task Manager-processes and saw all the services that SVCHOST is still running.  One at a time, I stopped and restarted them.  Finally, when I stopped the Windows Update service, the cpu immediately fell to almost nothing.  I rebooted and tested several times, and each time, it was Windows Update service that was causing the high CPU.

    2. Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor says I could upgrade to Windows 10, and get the icon Windows 10 is in the toolbar.  But it has failed to install several times.  Now, after stopping and restarting the service of updating (and I checked, it is started), the window get Windows 10 rises, is empty and goes.

    3. I ran the Update Diagnostic and got 1 error:

    Windows Update error 0 x 80070003(2016-04-04-T-04_56_09P)

    the Details of the Diag Windows Update window said:

    RootCause: RC-DataStore

    Error code: 0 x 80070003

    4. I tried to launch the 'Fixit' for update, but it did nothing.

    5. I tried to update Windows Update WindowsUpdateAgent30 - x 64 .exe Agent,

    but it fails with this message:

    "Windows Update Agent Installer has met a fatal error"

    6. when I try to start Windows Update-check for updates, it displays the dialog box "check for Updates" and activity indicator green runs and runs and runs for more than 10 minutes but nothing happens.  And when I check the view update history, it shows no updates, even though I know that I've run a LOT of updates in recent years.

    7. I thought to reinstall Windows 7.  I went to download from Microsoft, and when repair installation it activated my key it says that it wasn't a retail version, so check with the supplier (in this case HP).  I checked with HP and they said that this machine was is no longer supported.

    8. on the way I've renamed the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution-Windows SDOLD, force it to create a new (probably why it does not find the old updates).  IT did not help.

    So it seems to me this machine is expandable to 10 Windows (it meets the specifications and the Advisor to update Windows-10 said yes and installed the toolbar).  But something is wrong, probably with Windows Updater, and now nothing will be update or upgrade.  And I can't get a new copy of Windows 7.

    So, any thoughts?  I'm out of ideas.

  • Does not let you choose: "Install the project in the trial" during the installation

    I can't be able to select the option "Install as trial" during the installation of Flash catalyst. The only option I have is to enter the serial number.

    No idea why? Im running Windows XP.

    See you soon

    Hey,.

    The installer of Flash Catalyst beta 2 will not let you install as a trial, you really do not have to enter the serial number that is provided on the download page (at the bottom of this page here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_flashcatalyst).

    Let me know if it works for you!

  • There is a section of 3 inches from the window which will not recognize the mouse. It will not let you click on the icons or the screen somehow in this section under the address bar. It is only in firefox when it comes to a problem

    There is a section of 3-inch window that do not respond or recognize the mouse. It not let you click on the icons or the screen somehow. It is the only program that we are facing this problem with.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • Windows 7 will not let me install my Kodak Digital Camera C875 camera.

    Someone can tell me why Windows 7 will not let me install my camera, worked very well in Visa, any help out there?

    Original title: Kodak Digital Camera C875

    The best way to manage old cameras that have compatibility problems is not to connect the camera to the computer, but rather to remove the memory card from the camera and use a desktop card reader to make transfers.

    If your computer lacks a built-in card reader, you can buy very cheap () USB card readers

    I updated my phone to pacifier, but she will not let me install any apk. The install tab does not work when I proceed to the installation!

    Hi Rakeshroxy,

    Do you by chance have any screen dimming apps on the device? If so try disabling it and then try to go through the installation.

    However it could also be referring to a damaged APK.

  • Satellite L850 - Win8.1 will not let me install the chipset drivers

    Hello

    After I've upgraded to pro 8.1 windows 64 bit 64-bit windows 8 (preinstalled), I thought that windows will not let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64-bit), but they stay with windows drivers installed for them.
    The Device Manager displays all installed and properly using. In addition, during the implementation was executed to install the chipset driver, he skipped most of them, to install a missing driver only (unfortunately have not kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the Device Manager (automatic search or manually navigating the computer files downloaded from the site), but it keeps saying that the drivers are up-to-date (drivers with the version from 2006, when later seen on the site are 2014). Any suggestion what to do?

    Model name: Satellite L850-1MK
    Version of the operating system: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600
    CPU: Intel (r) Core i7-3630QM cpu @ 2.4 GHz
