I have a Toshiba L505 64bit with windows 7 and 8gb of Ram .I was thinking of getting an SSD , maybe a samsung 830 .(256gb)I have approximately 84% free space . I do not store videos or photos , just run my web site and make daily changes .
I have restored my toshiba satellite L505-S5984 using my restore discs. However, after the restore it will not update Windows or allow me to register the computer with Toshiba. I could certainly use someone's expertise with this issue.
I have a toshiba satallite E105-S1402 running on Windows 7 64-bit and I am missing the video drivers. Was working with extended display...set something incorrectly and had to go roll back to original drivers. Now the drivers are missing and I can't run the extended display any longer.
I bought a Toshiba Satellite L500-20Z, and it does not tell me which version I am running, ( 32or64 ) though I know it IS x64. The in-store shpeil said it was equipped with Win 7 Home premium 64bit, with 32bit recovery partition.
Question 1 - is there any way to tell between 32 or 64 (apart from a "Program Files (x64)" folder on my C: drive), and
Question 2 - how do I tell what build I have? (the above link says nothing)
Question 3 - how to tell if the recovery is 64 and not just 32 without wiping my existing install?
(I suppose I could take an image of my current C: drive and use that instead of the recovery partition if disaster strikes.... only trouble is with OEM theres so much bloat and crap that's incluided...)
Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't work with Outlook 2010 if installed as 64 bit. Microsoft says to "fix" this by uninstalling Office 2010 and installing the 32 bit version!My question is are there any 3rd-party sync programs that will work with Windows 7 64 bit and Microsoft Office Outlook 64 bit and Windows Mobile 6.5 devices? I don't need to sync email but I do need to sync calendar, contacts, and tasks. And yes, I am aware that the iphone will sync with it! Silly Microsoft. I have 1.5 years left on my mobile contract with my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone?
I rebooted my labtop everything came back ok but the webcam application that normally is under utilities i went to toshiba website installed their so called application but it's not doing anything, what can i do to get it back.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, and never had any problem installing 64-bit programs. Now, when a try to install any 64-bit programs it shows a message of incompatible version of the program with the running Windows, but my Windows 7 is 64 bits.
My computer got the BootMGR is missing problem, which I have had in the past which is not that big. I insert the Windows 7 64 Ultimate disk it starts up everything fine, press repair my computer and it finds the installation. But when I press on it and next it has an error pop up saying "This version of system recovery options is not conpattble with the version of windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that i compatible with this version of Windows." If I dont select anything but press next it allows me to look at the screen Im supposed to, but if I go to command prompt or click autmatically repair nothing will be saved or changed. This is the same disc I installed Windows with and repaired it several times. But I did have to reset BIOS earlier so this may have affected something.
I have a toshiba satellite with Windows 7; approximately 2 years old.I would like to reinstall Windows 7 and have a series of Recovery DVDs. However, I am not exactly sure how to go about doing this.I need detailed instructions as I am not very computer savvy.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 that was preinstalled with Windows 7 home premium. Went to turn it on today and got a screen that said: Windows Error recovery. Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. It then gives the option to run windows start up repair or run windows normally.
The repair option starts but ends up with a grey back ground screen and a mouse arrow on the screen. Nothing else happens after this. I tried the start Windows normally option but it gets as far as the Windows logo and no further.
The only recent change has been the addition of a new modem / router, other then that it has been business as usual with no changes.
The CD/DVD RW drive on my Toshiba simply stopped working. I tells me to insert a disk, when there is a disk in the drive. Toshiba wants to totally trash my hard drive.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L3052D that is infected with viruses. I got the restore cd's from Toshiba, but I don't know if I need a separate Windows 7 cd also to get it back to the way it was when I bought it.
I have a Toshiba L645 that will boot to bios and will 'start windows' but ends in a black screen with a curser.
At this point I am just wanting to perform a system recovery, full system restore to our of the box conditions. I have attempted to perform the actions with F1, F8, F10, and 0 and am still yet to be able to access the Advanced Boot Settings. I attempted to put in another recovery Disk from another Toshiba running Windows 7 but end up in the exact same place. Also attempted to use Recovers Media from Toshiba but still end up in the same place.
Am running Memtest86 at the moment to rule out a memory problem. Thinking about just running DBAN on it and seeing if I can't install a fresh copy of Windows 7 from the Toshiba Windows 7 recovery media that I have but really don't want to attempt that as this point.
Week ago I installed (clean installation) Win 7 Ultimate x64 and I don't have sound. Volume bar is moving and I have installed newest Realtek HD drivers, but it's still not working. In my device manager I have two unknown devices, so it can be about them. I really need sound, I know, that people with Asus solved that problem with installing drivers form VIA, but I don't think they match my notebook also..
My current laptop come with Windows Vista OEM partition and System Recovery Partition.i'm now plan to re-format the Operating System Partition and creat another partition for my data storage. When I'm insert the Windows 7 Ultimate installation disk, the system will create a System Reserved Partition for me which unable for me to creat data storage partition due to more than 4 Partitions in one Hard disk.
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop, originally installed with Vista and Win-7 capable (manufacturer site checked), but currently installed with Ubuntu. My installation gets stuck on expanding files - it goes no further than 0% and then throws up error 0x80070017. clean the main partition (not the 100MB one created by the CD) with the Clean ALL command on the X: drive. Karlsnooks, I see that you have the same laptop.
Back when Windows 7 came out, I shelled out the ~$700 to convert all the computers in my house to Windows 7. Ever since then I've had a friend considering buying Windows 7.He recently took the plunge an invested in a copy of Ultimate (64-bit). I backed up his personal data, formatted and Installed a clean copy of Windows 7. On first boot I ran Windows Update (his hardware was all supported by Windows) and did the required restart. During the restart, the computer Blue-Screened, restarts automatically, entered startup repair the second time, "fixes it", and the cycle starts again.So I figure "Okay, one of the updates is bad." I reformat and reinstall again, and the computer first-boots normally again. Just to test I restart the computer and the bsod/repair cycle starts again.I finally gave up for the time being and just reinstall Vista 64-bit on their again and it works fine. His is the only computer I've had this happen to, and I've installed 7 on about 12 other computers so far.
I am unable to connect to the internet on my home my home network, while two other laptops can. I have tried the mentioned dns servers and shows temporary relief, but then it stops and continuously tries to load. The internet connection shows excellent and connected but doesn't load anything. I cannot stay up long enough to update anything or install another browser.
Toshiba laptops which have problem CD/DVD drives seems to be fairly common. Mine can read a CD but not a DVD. I take the same DVD and it runs fine on my IBM running XP. I'm not convinced this is a hardware problem.
I'm considering installing FreeNAS on my laptop, but I was wondering, would it be possible to reinstall Win 7 if I didn't like FreeNAS, or would I have to buy an OEM disc?
