Windows Vista / Aero on my Equium M70

Hello. I just downloaded Windows Vista RC1 for my M70 that only, I bought a couple of months it is from Curry. It has Vista capable sticker on it and the seller has confirmed that Vista will work properly with 3D enhancements.

Of course, I want to have a full experience of Windows Vista. Yet, Windows Aero does not work on my machine because of the graphics card: Mobile Intel (r) 82915 GM/GMS/910GML. I didn't bother installing the basic version again. I did some research for the past hours. The equipment meets the requirements of Vista but it's the Intel driver that needs to be updated and Intel have yet to put the pilot. I sent them an email about this, and they said that it is not their policy to disclose information about software that may or may not be current. They also stressed that Vista is not officially released yet.

What I want to know is, Intel released a driver for my machine/chipset compatible with Windows Aero, even after that Vista has been officially released? He has seriously upset that my laptop, that I spent so much may not be at the height.

Help, please!

A Windows Vista Capable laptop includes at least:

-A DirectX 9 capable graphics processor

All portable Windows Vista Capable will be able to run at least the base Windows Vista experiences. To enjoy the full experience of Windows Vista, including the Windows Aero user experience, ask for a Windows Vista Premium Ready designated compatible laptop.

"Windows Vista Premium Ready" designation is given to a Windows Vista Capable laptop that meets the minimum recommended for Home Premium, Ultimate, Business, or Windows Vista Enterprise edition.

  • Cannot run the system error PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic has been replaced by Windows Vista Aero in Windows Vista Basic.

    Original title: PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic

    After you install the above program, I am not able to open it. I get a message saying that the color scheme has been changed from Windows Vista Aero to Windows Vista Basic. However, the program is still not open. Any ideas on what I should do?

    Hello

    1. is the issue limited to the program Print Master 2012 base Platinum?

    If you receive a message that some Visual elements, such as transparency, have been turned off or if you receive a message that the color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic, one of the following might have happened:

    ·         A program that you are using is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme. When you run a program that is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme, some Visual elements are automatically disabled. When the program is not is more running, the Visual elements that have been disabled will then automatically lit.

    ·         Your computer does not have to have enough memory to run all of the programs that you have open and also run the Windows Aero color scheme. Try closing some windows or changing your color scheme to Windows Vista Basic. If Windows automatically changed your game of colors in Windows Vista Basic, and you want to change it back to Windows Aero after closing some windows, follow these steps.

    Hello

    Sorry we don't communicate via this forum.

    You need a real antivirus because these are the two antispyware. You have the PCtools antivirus
    on the computer or just their toolbar in Internet Explorer?

    -------------------------------------------------

    If there is no antivirus on the computer here is what I use and recommend (except for one
    program like Prevx, you don't want more than one antivirus on the computer program
    much less running because they interfere with each other and lower security). Each combination
    of her below you will warn of malware without toolbar from PCtools running online.

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are alll free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps.

    You cannot enable aero as it requires directx 10, and VMware currently only supports dx9 shader model 2.

  • Question about Vista performance on satellite Pro M70

    I was wondering if anyone knew a lot about the performance of vista. For example, if you run a game under vista it run worse than in Xp because the operating system uses more than the power of the computer?

    Hello

    For two weeks, I use Windows Vista on my Satellite Pro M70. The laptop is not Vista capable, but I am very satisfied. It works very well. I tried to install and play older games like Far Cry and IGI2. It works perfectly without any problems.

    The set comes with 512 MB of RAM. As I said it works well, but I think that it will work much better with more RAM. I think I'll buy another 1 GB module. With 1.5 GB of RAM, I believe that the unit will operate like a rocket. :)

    Which laptop model you have?

  • Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? No need to install Windows Vista

    Hello
    I'm new to this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in the Brazil. I have a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
    To do this, you must perform a clean installation of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100), audio (Soundmax), TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (modem of toshiba), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install the Toshiba, Toshiba Bluetooth nvidia display driver (monitor and stack), driver Toshiba flash media, toshiba RAID texas (drivers and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
    You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.

    Below some pictures of my desktop of the G20 screen:

    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg

    And here is an example of the use of backgrounds animated with Windows Vista, deskscapes called dreamscene.
    It is in pause mode
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg

    To perform a new installation of windows Vista:

    Please, download drivers Toshiba RAID here:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/Vista/drivers/RAID.rar

    1 copy the contents of this archive on a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
    2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
    3. turn on your computer and press F12 to display the start menu.
    4. Select the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
    5. on the first Setup screen, choose your language options, and then press "next".
    6. press on "install now".
    7 type your product key and then press "next".
    8. accept the license terms by checking the box, then press "next".
    9. when he asked "which type of installation that you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
    10. when it is asked "Where do you want to install Windows?", make sure that your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, and then click on "Load driver".
    11. navigate to the location you copied the RAID drivers then press 'OK '.
    12. the installation program will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
    13 make sure that the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected, and then press "next".
    14. continue the installation of Windows Vista as usual.

    Now, you will need drivers Toshiba for your Qosmio G20:
    See the information of Device Manager:

    Drivers:

  • Question about Vista install on Equium M70

    Hello
    I think of buying a full version of vista home or premium edition. Y at - it a special procedure to install vista on my equium M70-337?

    Upgrade Advisor Microsoft vista tells me that the original version would be right for this machine, I was wondering if any problem could happen if I install the premium on this computer instead?

    What could be better? to do a clean install, or just upgrade the existing XP?

    Thanks for your help!
    Károly

    Hello

    > Is there any procedure to install vista on my Satellite M70-337

    I found on the page of the Toshiba driver a new update of the BIOS designed for Vista. So, it seems that you must update the BIOS before you start the Windows Vista installation.

    > Microsoft vista upgrade advisor tells me that the original version would be right for this machine, I was wondering if any problem could happen if I install the premium on this computer instead?

    No, I think you can also use the Home Premium version. There is no major difference between the Home and Home Premium version. The version of Vista Premium provides more OS features. But the performance should be the same.

    > Which is better? To do a clean install, or just upgrade the existing XP?

    I recommend you to install Vista on the second partition. In this case, you would be able to use the two BONES. Vista use a Startup Manager and you could choose between XP and Vista.

    PS: There is no Vista divers for this laptop at the moment. That's why most of the features of laptop as media, FN keys, buttons etc does not work with Vista

    Hi does anyone know how to get Aero to work on my Tosh laptop. the OS is Vista Home Premium and I have exhausted the help options OS affecting theme Win Vista, color scheme to Aero etc.

    Hello

    The laptop should be certainly be able to use the AERO.
    It supports a 256 MB card and 2 GB memory graphics.

    So it seems you only need to activate the Aero on your Vista.
    But which version of Vista is installed on the laptop.
    As I know the basic home edition version does not include the Aero. The Aero is available on the Home Premium edition or newer

    So now you ask what you can do? I found these tips on the site of Ms.
    Check if the desktop theme has been set to Windows Vista

    1. open theme settings by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, customization and then clicking theme.
    2. in the theme list, click Windows Vista, and then click OK.

    Try to enable transparency widowed intercadres.
    But note; to enable transparency, the color scheme must first be set to Windows Aero.
    1. open Personalization by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel configuration, on appearance and personalization, and then click customization.
    2. click on the appearance and color of the window.
    3. Select the transparency check box.
