Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.

- Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.

Presentation settings is missing from the Windows Mobility Center
Satellite L 300 with Vista Home Basic
Recently installed everything, but have run windows update etc. Since then.
Presentation settings does not appear in the Windows Mobility Center, and I can not find presentationsettings.exe anywhere on the computer.
Have tried downloading VAP but no difference. Toshiba Assist has nothing to help me, I think.
I tried looking for drivers and utilities for the L300 and sees nothing to help me - no presentation or power related only downloads.
How can I get the presentation settings? The main problem I have is not to want the screen empties when you watch a DVD or streaming video. Even if you put windows power settings to never turn off the screen, it will still blank after a period of time without the intervention of the physical user, despite the video game.
AFAIK this option is always available when the laptop is preinstalled with Toshiba (factory State) recovery image.
You install own OS or what?I have two Toshiba laptops, and both of them have this option in the Windows Mobility Center.

What is an application error, wmiprvse.exe? It keeps popping up all the time and its pretty boring. Can I get rid of him?
What this has to do with Windows Media?
Rwillet,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.
The wmiprvse.exe file is otherwise known as Windows Management Instrumentation.
In research, I found a few articles that might help you:

You can run your scan virus and if necessary, perform a System Restore to a point prior to the error occurring.

Autorun file keeps pop up on the screen
Hello, Windows expert
My Autoplay file keeps pop up on the screen. Could someone help me on this problem? My computer is running Win XP Pro. SP3. Thanking you in advance.
Hello
· When the issue started?
Try to analyze the computer using Antivirus software because this problem can occur if the computer is infected with the virus. You can use the Microsoft Security Analyzer by clicking on link http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/
Note: once a virus is removed, you will need to reinstall some software, or restore lost information.
Confirm that all drivers are up-to-date. If the problem occurs again, I might have to try a system restore.
