• Unable to boot from USB or ODD after that windows 8.1 update on P850 - 31L

  Hello

  I just updated a P850 - 31L for windows windows 8.1 8 by the windows store.

  Before the update, I was able to boot from a USB key by pressing F12 during the boot upward.

  After the update I was more able to boot from the USB drive. Select the USB key by changing the boot order in the setup of the BIOS via F2 or pressing F12 is no longer works.

  Booting from ODD also is no longer possible.

  The version of the BIOS is 6.70 and does not secure boot must be disabled. However the DVD and the USB I tried are signed Ubuntu 12.10, who worked before the upgrade. Fastboot in windows 8.1 is disabled.

  Then, this seems to be a bug in the BIOS Toshiba? Or a windows 8.1 update the BIOS or the boot EFI in a way partition replace the BIOS setting? Really stuck here, does not seem to be much information.

  Any ideas or help would be very appreciated!

  Thank you

  Michael

  Update: I just tried to boot from the DVD of windows recovery 8 Toshiba and this does more or the other.

  Post edited by: michael_toshiba_forum

  OK I fixed that.

  First of all, it is to note that it is possible to turn off secure in the 6.70 BIOS startup.
  However this option is only available when the password is not defined in the Security menu.

  After activation or deactivation of the password a reboot is necessary to make the secure boot toggle option is available or not.

  It's good that I guess I assume that it can prevent secure boot are disabled when the machine is running. However this does not seem to have been associated with this problem.

  I selected the option "reset to factory defaults" in the output menu.
  The machine is then able to boot from USB and DVD. The boot order was also respected.

  Perhaps upgrading windows 8.1 corrupt invisible somehow the BIOS settings. Or maybe it was just a stranage coincidence that the BIOS itself corrupted during the installation. Anyway this factory reset fixed.

• Audio not working do not after Windows 8.1 update

  Hello
  
  A few days ago that I have updated Windows 8.1 evaluation to the full version 8.1 and since then my audio doesn't work. In Control Panel, "Digital Audio display (AMD high definition Audio Device)" is listed as disconnected. The audio icon on the taskbar is XE out and clicking on it works the finder error in vain. Speakers no longer appear in the list of devices well now that nothing works I don't know if they have ever or if the audio comes through display Digital Audio. Headphones do not present as playback device and the volume on the keyboard controls and the taskbar are not accessible. I've never used external speakers.
  
  Windows 8.1 update seemed to wipe all my software HP and AMD came with the laptop so I reinstalled the HP support center and looked for a driver updated and all that jive, but all also shows to date. I don't know what else to look for because most of the forums I've seen seem to speak of their output HDMI sound does not work when it is connected to a TV and I just try to have sound, period.

  Hi Chris,

  Try the following.

  Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp59501-60000/sp59861.exe

  One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  If you see a very similar entry for (or entry of IDT) IDT HD Audio , right click on the device and select uninstall - you should also get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.  If there is no input IDT, go just below.

  When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

  Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

  Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

  Kind regards

• My guest user account has stopped working after the installation of several windows and IE9 updates.

  I recently installed several windows and IE9 updates. During the install IE9 I stopped the installation process, because it seemed that I had two IE9 installs go. I ended up cancelling the installation so IE9 has not installed. I tried to install IE9 again and this time I can't stop installation, and it has been successful. I checked the other user profiles to make sure that everything has been installed, and that's when I noticed that my guest account wasn't just all users accounts were working well.

  Whenever I try to open a program, for example: Internet explore, any Office program and even the calculator another window opens asking me to manually locate the file I'm looking for. I am able to locate the file and open it, but as soon as I close I can't reopen unless I have to manually search for the file. There is a checkbox indicating that it automatically uses this file with the program but I can't check the box (its in a light gray that I can't click on) and I don't want to manually search the file everytime I open a program. I tried using a restore point before updates, but which did not set can guest account everyone please help?

  [1] I need to correct me by declaring that the Mcafee subscription is 18 months and its due for renewal in June, then yes its still the preinstalled version.

  [2] will certainly be your advice on that. Should what drivers I roll back?

  [3] I thought to go on this forum first, but I chose it because the error occurred while I was updating, but I'll post my question it too

  A1A. Ah! The application is named McAfee Security Center by chance?

  A1B. Do you plan to purchase a subscription for this or any other McAfee application (which you would need to do so BEFORE the expiry of 18 months 'advance')?

  A2. In re the restore drivers, you restore the drivers that you have installed via Windows Update. that is, Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset (graphics driver or screen) and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (NIC driver). Again, this is a long shot.

  A3. Please do that start new thread immediately.

  Follow these steps:

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the page following before otherwise connect the machine to a network or the internet and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  NB: Any Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the removal tool before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application.

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

• Envy Touchsmart Windows 8.1 update 15-j05cl - black screen

  Have a HP Touchsmart, envy 15-j057cl. I can't upgrade to Windows 8.1. I did the following:

  1 installed all windows updates.

  2 went to HP support for machine page and installed all the drivers.

  3. don't run Windows - no problem identified compatibility Manager.

  4 deleted Norton preinstaled. No antivirus software is enabled.

  5. attempt to update the Windows store.

  6. black screen.

  Back in Windows 8. Windows has reported various attempts through error messages, including:

  0xc1900101 - 0x3000D

  Then-

  1. drivers for bluetooth and Ralink wifi disabled

  2 attempt 8.1 windows update of windows store

  3 black Screen

  Back in windows 8

  I tried very hard to make sure I've gotten all the latest drivers and BIOS, including the chipset drivers. I have not installed any other software. I also disabled any driver that I can not have everything while the update fails.

  I need to get back to work. Any thoughts?

  Thank you...

  The saga continued, but it had a happy ending.

  On the advice of the HP support, I uninstalled the driver Intel HD, booted safe mode and then tried the Windows 8.1 update. This time the update completed, but he returned to the black screen when I tried to install version 8.1 of Intel HD display driver. At this time, of course, it wasn't able to go back to Windows 8.0, so I had to completely reinstall the operating system from scratch. Good thing, I had all my saved data.

  After this experience, I gave up for a while, but he contacted the HP support to express my displeasure.  I went to a case manager, who contacted me the HP SmartFriend support.

  Today, we did an update of the BIOS. This new version of the BIOS F.53, just released on March 10, 2014 (after I had made my last attempt to make the update). After updating the BIOS, I have successfully completed update 8.1 Win. I then checked to make sure I had the latest version of the Intel HD Display Adapter driver and I did. Actually, the pilot that is displayed on the page for the driver for my machine was older than the version I have installed. So far so good.

  It seems that the solution to the problem was for HP to do a BIOS update.
