  Hello everyone,

  Well, I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite C50 - B - 15 c. Yesterday, I had to update Windows 8.1, after update, it restarts, but it never comes back. Had a black screen and mouse (can move it). After a few restarts, so I decided to restore before the last update. Backup done but always the same problem (black screen and mouse)

  So I decided to re - install Windows 7, the installation is complete, restart the computer and what I get? Error screen of windows with a few choice you know certainly: "safe mode, start windows etc.," whatever i choose, it is not do anything just restart and come back to the same screen...

  Does anyone have a solution?

  -J' have HD format
  -J' I try Boot CD (do not start) and USB Boot (give me this problem)

  -Maybe I'll try to install Linu, just to test the HD.

• Cannot get Windows 7 drivers for Satellite C50-A-1JQ

  I tried to install windows 7 on my C50-A-1JQ as several software packages that I use at work do not work with windows 8. After successfully installing windows 7 I have a list of connected UN-installed in my device manager. Include the Ethernet controller, network controller, PCI controller of encryption/decryption USB 2.0 - CRW. The Toshiba site has only windows 8.1 drivers listed for this model then does that mean that I will be unable to correctly install windows 7?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  > The Toshiba site has only windows 8.1 drivers listed for this model then does that mean that I will be unable to correctly install windows 7?
  I'm scared, you're right Mr. your laptop model is not supported for Win7, so I think it will be very problematic to find all the right drivers, tools and utilities.

  What should do? Try installing the drivers found by Win7. It would be possible to install the drivers provided for other similar models supported for Win7, but it's not easy to find all the drivers.

  Can you please provide an accurate list of missing drivers?

  For example you have installed driver chipset? If this isn't the case, install the Intel chipset driver.

  By the way: you have created a recovery media before you installed Win7?

• Can not find the key to series of Windows 10 on Toshiba Satellite C50-C-1JL

  Hello

  I can't find the product Windows 10 key on my Toshiba laptop. Where the thumbnail? On my laptop or elsewhere? Thanks in advance for your answers

  Windows 8 PCs now incorporate their product in the BIOS keys.

  In the past, a new Windows PC had its product key on a sticker, usually on the side of a computer, and on the basis or at the bottom of the battery on a laptop compartment. But with Windows 8, Microsoft switched gears and now stores and encrypts the key in the BIOS instead.

  Guess that's the same thing to win 10.

  I saw a laptop of HP under Win 10 who has not told sticker.

  Hello

  According to specifications specification , you got your laptop with the preinstalled version of Win8.1.
  With other words, your laptop has been pre-installed with original recovery image designed for this model of laptop. Preinstalled recovery image should not be enabled.

  Recovery image is also saved on the HARD drive and it is possible for you to create bootable recovery media (backup recovery) that you can use for the installation of original recovery image.
  > I'll reinstall my windows 8.1 which came preinstalled on my Toshiba laptop.
  If I understand you right you try to use your laptop with the original recovery image again. Is this good?

  I really don't know what's the problem here, but after the first start, connect your laptop to the Internet and complete the installation. Preinstalled Windows must be activated automatically.

• Install Windows 7 on Satellite C50-A-1JT

  Hello world

  I bought a brand new satellite C50-A-1JT PSCJGE of Romania with no OS.

  First, I tried to install Windows 7 for about one day and does not start, on DVD or USB, only Windows 8, but after I searched on this topic, I discovered that I need to change my settings to MSC Boot UEFI bios and disable the startup of the Secué.

  NOT A CHANCE. Instead of a normal BIOS I have that Setup Utility from Toshiba and I have only the option of Boot Order and Secure Boot, who don't have not helped me.

  I thought that my BIOS is outdated (1.10)
  So went on the Toshiba site and performed a search for an update of the BIOS and the only one was the following:
  [BIOS 1.30-VICTORY for a Satellite C55 - has, C50 - A: http://www.toshiba.com.ro/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?LNG=27&service=SE&selC fulltext = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 312 & selProduct = 793 4 & selShortMod = 4628 & language = 47 & selOS = 46 & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & count ry = all & selectedLanguage = 47 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 90346 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  .. but unafortunatelly, it's not available.

  So, I have no chance of getting Windows 7 on this laptop?... because I hate 8

  Many machines Win8 is supported for Win7 so, in general, you shouldn't have a few big problems. As you've written, you must first change the settings of the BIOS - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

  After that restart your computer and press F12. When the boot menu appears on the screen put Win7 installation disc into the optical disc drive, select CD/DVD as first boot device and press ENTER. ODD must begin to read the Win7 installation disc and the installation program will appear on the screen.

  On this path, I installed Win7 on my U940 satellite.

  Please try again and post comments.

• Windows 10, nvidia 930 m Satellite C50-C022 opengl error

  I bought this Toshiba - Satellite-C50-C022 with 10 64-bit windows. I can't update the drivers nvidia for the newest version. When I do all the appz I use which uses opengl, the screen goes black. I have to stay with the default drivers 347.52 with what he came. This isn't a problem with appz using direct3d as 3dmax. The problem is with opengl and new drivers nvidia on this laptop.

  Black window in lightwave

  I even downloaded the new driver from toshiba website tcm0007400h and its still does not not with opengl.

• Satellite C50 - update Windows questions

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite C50 windows 8 year last for my partner (who has the patience of a gnat and click on everything and nothing), when windows updates were installed on a month ago, she lost the office link, she kept flashing on and outside. She managed to access the Internet through internet Explorer tab (only for the bingo & ebay lol).

  An other recent windows update took forever to load then a failure to configure changes return messages that froze the laptop.

  Yesterday, I managed to return to the default value, all settings, after all personal preferences, I went to update the page to change the settings to apply updates before installing, and he said he had to be updated before choosing the updates!

  I'm back there again and I was wondering if there was a specific update that is causing all this trouble. Although my bank balance is looking better, I'll throw this lappy in the bin and just buy another!

  Help, please. Thanks :)

  Hello

  In general, I agree with the view of s IronMan.
  The point is that you can always set the computer laptop initial configuration using the recovery procedure.

  After this procedure the system windows will install updates from Microsoft.
  This may take some time and the unit must be restarted several times during this procedure.

  A system update will install before other updates have been installed.
  Therefore, this process could take a little longer.

  In addition, you will need to update to the latest system 8.1 Win the old Win 8.
  This can be done after have installed all updates to Win 8.
  The Win 8.1 update should be done as recommended by Toshiba.

  The complete step by step instruction can be found here:
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

  You will be also informed about updates of Toshiba Toshiba service station preinstalled.
  In this case, it will be very easy to get the latest version of the driver.

  I hope this helps a little

• Installation of recovery on Satellite C50-A-1Jn

  My son has a Satellite C50-A-1john and was doing a restore of the partition of drive hard, but stopped at halfway.

  When it tries to start, it receives the message "no boot device - please reboot."

  He did not create a floppy disk to restore his laptop, but I found where I can order one from Toshiba. Before I spend £30, I want to know if it will restore his laptop.

  Recovery image installation can not be interrupted. Now, the laptop is confused and unbootable. Problem is that interrupted recovery installation cannot continue, cannot be started from the beginning and also not ended correctly.

  What you need to do now is to get the installation of recovery disc and start the installation again.

  After doing this you will have factory again and everything works OK.
  Biggest mistake has been that media recovery is not created in the past.

• Satellite M30X windows 2000 installation problem

  I noticed ribooth has also posted a message with the same problem... but I haven't seen a real answer. The problem: if I try to install Windows 2000 Professional (including SP2) on my satellite M30X-130. The windows 2000 Setup program crashes with a "page in a no fault paged area" in acpi.sys just at the moment where the status in the status bar has been changed from windows 2000. If I press F7 during startup, acpi support is disabled and no page error occurs but the windows 2000 installation hangs on "the first screen" where you should be able to start, stop and? installation. There is no additional hardware installed and I'm unable to partition and format the HD with W2k. If I do it with win98 and create a FAT32 partition and try to install w2k on it I get the same ' page in a no fault paged area "acpi.sys error. Any suggestions to fix this?

  Hello
  Make sure that the system BIOS and other hardware is compatible with Windows 2000.

• Satellite C50-A-172: how to keep Bluetooth turned on Windows 8.1

  You can activate the BT in 8.1 win without using the function key.

  Under Windows, 8.1, the Bluetooth option has been moved to a new article
  To activate BT in Win 8.1 settings press the Windows key + C to open the bar of charm.

  Click settings, and then select mobile PC settings. Then go to the PC section and devices.
  Now, you will see the Bluetooth box and the cursor WE / FF that would turn on or turn off the Bluetooth option.

• Special function keys not working not not on Satellite C50 - Windows 8.1

  Hello

  Please could someone help me.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A0393, I received a few months ago with already installed Windows 8.1 (64-bit). Today, I got a message saying that I had to watch the PC health, a blue message Toshiba about that the access agreement and I noticed that there are three updates that needed to be done, the only one, I remember being the Toshiba Video Player. I think that another had to do with the light of the charger?
  I do not know.

  But once I rebooted my laptop after the update I noticed that the special function keys were not working (i.e. the volume, mute, pause and play, etc..). Then, I went to the Toshiba Office help and in Control Panel and select the keyboard tab. I did as the setting for the special function mode has been selected.

  Now, when this setting is in place, some keys work but for F3, F5, F6, etc. and when I want to use special features that the volume up and down work when pressing 'Fn', but the special function mode is still selected? These two work only, not the mute or the flightmode or bluetooth, which was operating normally before the updates.

  I googled but can't find something specific to 8.1, or not covered do not upgrade to 8.1. I can't find the flashcard utility and do not want to try something where I don't know what I'm doing. How can I get these special function keys working again normally? Sorry for the long message, but I wanted to give as much information as possible.

  Thank you very much

  Melanie

  Hello

  It seems strange to me that an update of Toshiba (Toshiba Video Player, etc.) would have an impact on the key features of function.
  However, the function key (F1 - F10) can be used in combination with or without the FN key. It depends on the special function key mode.

  In case you want to use the F1 - F12 functions without the FN key, the key mode of function must be enabled (should be set to the special mode of operation)

  Full details here how it works:
  https://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD2503B90001R01.htm

  Now it these buttons would not work even if pressing the FN key, then there is a problem with the software.

  First of all I would recommend allows you to set the default BIOS because this mode key function can be changed in the BIOS too.
  After this, check if the key would work. If not, reinstall
  Key feature of Toshiba utility

  And the driver for the Toshiba system

  You can also check if the essential service has not been disabled.
  Start the Task Manager and go to start a number of questions. You must activate all Toshiba apps, services and then restart.

• Windows XP installation is not possible on my Satellite L40

  I had a Toshiba Satellite L40 32 computer with vista preinstalled premium pieces. Once I managed to install XP in dual boot vista/xp thanks to vistabootpro. But my computer has been infected by a virus and because I couldn't clear it, I formatted my XP partition.

  I tried to reinstall windows XP, but in computer installation warmed me that there was a file that could not be installed and I choose to click 'ignore' and my computer started automatically on my vista operating system. I checked if it was not because my CD is not bootable, by nothing, because I use it on another computer to install vista.

  I would like to know what is happening?

  For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, you need the Intel Storage Manager. Without this disk manager HARD won't be visible for the installation of Windows XP Home edition.
  About installing Windows XP Home on Satellite L40 edition you will find so many threads. Use the option search on this forum and you will find a lot of discussions with explanation how to install WXP on L40.

  Good luck!

  Hey,.

  I m a bit confused now
  What exactly happens on your laptop? You can start Windows?

  I think the article MS says it all: to repair Windows you need a disc of Microsoft Vista.

  Alternatives to reinstall the entire system use the Toshiba recovery disc that contains a picture of the factory settings. Have you created this disk?
