• Disk space in the process of disappearance since the SP2 of Vista Upgrade.

  Hello, I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit on my Hp Pavillion DV7-1130us laptop, and I've upgraded initially to Widows Vista Service Pack 2 Friday, September 11. At first, I was really happy because I didn't 109 GBS left before the upgrade, and the upgrade brought me up to 134GBS. Unfortunately although after about 3 days, that I noticed without me download anthing major other than 2 episodes of the show on a 100MBS each hard drive space has been mysteriously disappear. He went from 134 to 120 with no logical explanation as to why.

  So on Monday I restored the computer and reinstall the Service pack, he brought me back up to 134 again once this time I do not download one thing and Friday night, it was the same problem. After changing the amount of space reserved for shadow copying.restoring max 33 concerts in 10 that it gave me no space is back. Yesterday, I restored and reinstalled the pack once again and yesterday and today, he went up to 129 CONCERTS without logical reason. So why the service pack give me back rear HD only to disappear without being able to use it? If anyone can give me insight in how I can prevent this and get the space back, I'd be very happy that I did not have this problem before the upgrade.

  In fact it wasn't it no more I tried. What I finally ended up doing was having to restore settings because even after changing the maximum size memory ghost I have all the space back and I have no virus or anything either. So now my computer is OK and I always also changed the quantity max memory 33 GBS to 15 GB thank you for your suggestion but Ghost

• 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 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!

  Equium A100-147: upgrade from Vista

  Hello

  I recently received an email from Toshiba regarding the purchase of the upgrade to Vista. Followed the link and instructions, selected the "Toshiba Corp." option, when asked for the "serialized form", I chose "no"... don't know what it is.

  I go further and that there will be charges to redemption for the upgrade to Vista.

  Vista upgrade charge - £13.35
  Shipping and handling - £2.71
  Plus the VAT on top...

  As far as I know and also mentioned on the page Web of Toshiba, the upgrade is free and only need to pay the shipping and handling fees.

  Someone has already tried this and get the same fees... or without?

  Happy New Year, by the way.

  See you soon

  I agree with the snipe. If there is no problem with the update to Vista, you must call the Toshiba call centre.

  PS: I tried the moduslink and everything was ok.

• Satellite U300 unable to operate after the Vista upgrade installation

  A couple of days, I did a Windows Vista upgrade on my laptop Satellite U300 and since that time, my computer does not work. He tried to self-diagnose this himself, he told me to shut down the computer and restart. I do that and then the! 0xc0190036! 4099/69249 (Security-Licensing-SLC-Component-SKU-Home...) appears with a black background. I tried to launch the product recovery disc but computer wouldn't it.

  Can someone offer me some tips?

  Kind regards

  Barry

  Hello

  It's very strange
  How have you tried to install the operating system recovery disc?

  Boot you from the CD and have you followed the instructions on the screen?
  Or what is exactly happening?

  Usually, the recovery disk must format the whole HARD drive and the laptop to the factory settings.
  In addition, the Vista is already activated and it s not necessary to put keys series.

  I see in the error message something about safety licenses. I m not very well what this may be, but perhaps could be a problem with activation, who knows?  :|
  But as I said above, the Vista on the recovery disk is already enabled.

• 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.

• Windows Vista Upgrade shut down my computer at 03:00 and 7 hours disappeared

  After working on an Excel 2003 worksheet for seven hours on my computer (Windows Vista) most recent. A box suddenely appears asking if I wanted to save the spreadsheet I was working on that. Just as I clicked on save the computer automatically stop apparently down to install the updates, it had downloaded earlier (every day at 03:00 I see). My spreadsheet now appears as it did seven hours before. Is there a way to recover my work? Left on file temp perhaps, hidden away somewhere.

  I can't believe this kind of programmed computer crash is the parameter defaoult for Windows Vista upgrades, but it seems that to be this way.

  For future use, in addition to change the settings for upgrade by default to ask before downloading anything, as I do, is it possible (as it was years ago) to set up a recording every few minutes in Office 2003 automatic? If so, how should I do that.

  Hi ttam24,

  Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

  If you wish, you can set your updates to install only if you are recommending.

  Here are the steps;

  1. Open Windows Update (click on the Start button, click all programsand then click Windows Update).

  2. Select change settings and choose how you want Windows to install updates.

  For Microsoft Office you can post your question on the forum of Microsoft Office.
