Problems after upgrading to vista premium from basic

i just upgraded my laptop to vista premium from basic. a couple of changes worth to mention: the system seems to be more stable after upgrading. and ram usage reduced to roughly 47% from 55%.
bad side: can not use thinkvantage to recover my laptop to factory condition. it seems that the option has been removed. and while start-up, if i press the blue ThinkVantage bottom, the system does not go to normal rescue and recovery program.
the other problem i have is the system says i recently changed the system password (seems sth to do with the client security solution software). but i did not.and i need to verify the password. and problem appears, the system says my password is wrong.
any thoughts on these problems?
thx

I agree with Cedric on the repair disk. As you have installed a "different" OS the Master Boot Record has been changed resulting in the loss of the function.

  • GX720 problems after upgrading to Vista Ultimate (SOLVED)

    Hello.
    I have just upgraded my GX720 from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate in order to be able to connect to our domain at work.
    The upgrade went without trouble, but I have run in to a small problem with the touch buttons above the keyboard.
    The media controllers, and on/off buttons for webcam, bluetooth and W-lan works with out problems, but the Eco and Turbo-button stopped working.
    I'm guessing there is some part of the software/drivers from the original installation that went haywire after the upgrade and needs reinstalling, but I have no clue as to what to reinstall.
    Any help would make me very happy 
    As far as system specs I have done no upgrades to bios or firmware since delivery in june but I'm unsure as to the versions running, the only thing I have done is upgrade the drivers to the Wlan as far as I can remember.
    I can also add that I tried to do a EC-reset, and a reinstallation of the SCM with no change. Trying to start the SCM manually with the MGSysCtrl.exe only results in a program crash (The program has stopped working).
    Kind regards
    Mikael

    I would say, remove SCM.
    Reboot
    Goto program-files or whatever the directory is called in Vista, delete the MSI SCM folder
    Reboot
    Run http://www.ccleaner.com/download (beware of the install options or you get a toolbar for free  )
    Run cleaning and registry cleaning (until there are no errors left!)
    Reboot
    Download and reinstall SCM for your machine.
    I hope this works, should be. Else use an older version of SCM, like the one that came with your machine.
    Good luck.

  • Problem after upgrading to Snow Leopard from Tiger

    Hello all!
    I have an old macbook pro 15" purchased on 2007. It's model is macbookpro3,1 and it runs Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11. Recently I upgrade the system to Snow Leopard. Everything seems to be fine except the laptop runs much hotter.
    At first I don't know why but then I found out that on the Energy Saver menu, there is no options to select between the intel onboard graphics card and nVidia 8600M GT. And it seems the system selects the 8600M GT as the default card, therefore my GPU temperature is always about 60 Celsius degree.
    Another problem is the Airport card is also hot, it's always about 60C degree (according to iStat Pro)
    So anybody has same problem with me? It'd be great if you could help me figuring out these issues.
    Thanks a lot!!!

    Are you sure there is an Intel onboard graphics processor in your MacBook Pro? AFAIK, Mac laptops do not have multiple graphics processors -- MBP's have a single fairly powerful one with dedicated video memory & regular MacBooks have only a somewhat less powerful one that use shared system memory.
    For example, the MacBook Pro (Mid 2007, 2.4/2.2GHz) Technical Specifications make no mention of an Intel GPU.

  • Graphics display problem after upgrade of HTML DB from 1.5 to 1.6

    I recently installed HTML DB version 1.5 from Companion CD and tested and everything seemed to work. I immediatley applied the 1.6 version upgrade but now no graphics are shown on the HTML DB ADMIN page. I checked the files from the upgrade $ORACLE_HOME/Patch/htmldb/images and the $ORACLE_HOME/CCD/marvel/images and verified the Alias in $ORACLE_HOME/CCD/Apache/modplsql/conf/marvel.conf. Do I need to look elsewhere for the images?

    If that's the case then they made a mistake. If there's not a specific forum for HTMLDB, you could try one of the database groups because I think it ships with the database.

  • Satellite A300-1EG - after upgrade to Vista Premium missing some options

    Floor of year back I have bought the laptop Toshiba SATELLITE A300-1EG (Short Model No PSAG4E) . Because of some problems it was necessary to reinstall Windows.
    When bought in the laptop stood Windows Vista Home. Now to me have established Windows Vista Ultimate. A problem with some drivers, I can not adjust brightness and sharpness of the screen, and screen prompts do not work. Writes "or for screen prompt the updated video card is required, or the video card compatible with Direct3D" is required.
    Help please!

    Hello
    This sound like that you have forgotten to install the display driver or did you install it?
    I think you should visit the Toshiba European website and download the display driver:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    It should not be a problem to install it. Just follow the screen instructions. ;)

  • Problems after upgrade: Leopard to Leopard no longer works

    My sister upgraded to Leopard on her iMac(c2d) to Leopard yesterday. Earlier in the day we were able to do video chats with a number of people(her machine Tiger to Fathers machine Leopard). However, since upgrading, we've experienced weird behavior for video chats. Basically in her window she won't see her image(the small one), and I don't see her at all. We've tested this out with a number of other iChat accounts and get the same results. Btw, all machines that are chatting with her are using Leopard. Also, all other forms/capabilities work: screen sharing, sharing of pictures, audio chats.
    Anyone out there have similar problems after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard? I have done the usual adjustments of bandwidth and QT settings, as well as restarts. What else should I try?
    tia,
    n

    I finally resolved this problem: I think the issues/steps would be helpful for anyone who experiences iSight off or not working problems after upgrading to Leopard(then to 10.5.1) on a intel 20" iMac :
    Problem:
    -If you have an internal iSight on an iMac and your camera works fine in Tiger
    -If you upgrade to Leopard
    -If Chat camera doesn't show your image (iSight off) even though the green light is on
    -You can see the other persons video on iChat
    -Your friends can here you and you can share screens, files, etc.....everything but have them see you
    These are the initial steps I took:
    - Deleted the pLists(or stored preferences for the Application) described at the top of this thread
    - Was told it might be slow internet connection so did various things: disconnected other computers, changed wireless to "G" only
    - Specifically Opened of ports spec'd for Leopard on router (even though I hadn't needed to do this under Tiger)
    - Tried chats with various people on various fast/slow networks
    - Restarted all aspects of the network: router, wireless access point, computer
    - Checked to see if the iSight was shown in 'System Profiler'. It was found in 'About This Mac->More Info->System Profiler->USB'
    - Clicked Video icon in iChat Buddies window(to the right of your name) and coudn't see my image
    - Opened 'PhotoBooth' and coudn't see my image(black screen)
    - Opened iMovie and couldn't capture video via the iSight(black screen)
    - Opened iChat->Preferences->Video and couldn't see my image
    - Validated that 'Camera is Enabled' in iChat->Video->Camera is Enabled
    If you are experiencing a similar problem with you built-in iSight, I would probably focus on the last 5 things that I did. What they showed me was that the iSight was just not capturing video even though it was capturing sound in 3 different applications.
    The solution to iSight Off or iSight Not Responding or No Video is......reset your computer! I had thought my sister performed this but it turns out she hadn't. Here's the link to this procedure:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
    Very easy to do though: Power off computer and unplug all cables, including power cable for at least 15 seconds. Plug everything back in and power up the computer and retry clicking on the 'Video' icon next to your login name. If you see yourself then...problem is solved.
    While I eventually found posts in several other forums, it took me the better part of a week. To try this simple step. I wish I had done so straight away. Oy. I guess I learned a lot about ports, speed etc.
    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite Pro A200-16N: Can I use Recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

    Hii!
    Im thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N, and i've ran the windows vista upgrade checker from the microsoft website and it says my system will support windows vista so im ok on that.
    The problem is, if my laptop were to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD's that was supplied from toshiba still work on the laptop with windows vista?
    Will they return the laptop to windows xp or since my laptop has a different operating system will they not work?
    Also...
    Whats the deal with BIOS?:S
    I dont understand!
    If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
    As i have to download the new drivers before upgrading yes?
    Thanks!

    Of course the Recovery CD will work.
    The Recovery CD will set always the notebook back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HDD will be formatted and the Toshiba image will be installed.
    > Whats the deal with BIOS? I dont understand!
    > If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
    In my knowledge this notebook was already delivered with Vista therefore you dont need to update the BIOS if you want to install Vista again.
    Some A200 Satellite series needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
    In such case its advisable to update the BIOS to XP version firstly and then to install X OS.
    Best regards

  • Problems after upgrading to iTunes version 6

    Hello,
    I've been going through the threads a lot since I have had problems after upgrading to iTunes v. 6. It looks like a lot of people have had the same issues, and I have tried some things that were recommended. After I upgraded, iTunes would not open. I tried:
    1. deleting sidb file
    2. doing the msconfig thing suggested in discussion boards
    3. going into safe mode and deleting 4 and 6 letter weird files in DOS - I found 3 that I deleted
    iTunes worked after this -- then I bought a song and it said my computer was not authorized, after I authorized computer (that never happened before), iTunes worked for about 15 more minutes and then closed down abruptly. I haven't been able to open it since.
    I also downloaded Spybot search & destroy and that did not find anything. I am using McAfee, and have scanned for viruses with McAfee and AdAware.
    Now, when I restart my computer, a bunch of windows pop up with Chinese/Japanese looking characters and say that device (I think) was not found. I seem to be able to use everything except iTunes and Quicktime. When I open the Task Manager, iPodService.exe and iTunesHelper.exe and qttask.exe are there, but when I click on Quicktime or iTunes the file flashes in Task Manager and then disappears.
    I'm not sure where to go from here.
    Any help would be apppreciated -- I'd like to be able to open iTunes!

    Hello,
    I used Nickroo's post:
    I was able to get iTunes launched (with the help of Tech Support) in a very unsafe environment. I owe it to those who may need this after me. It will get you going, but you will be extremely vulnerable to internet virus assaults. Please do not use this approach, until you have exhausted every other available solution for your issue in the KB.
    There are three Steps 1) Uninstall 2) Disble and 3) Reinstall.
    UNISTALL Uninstall iTunes using Windows utility Add Remove Program available in Control Panel.
    DISABLE Disable all third party System Services and Startup Items using using MSCONFIG utility as described in Service Document http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
    RE-INSTALL Re-install iTunes6 + QT7. Launch it under the Selective Startup Option.
    It worked ! You realize among other things at this point you have your Antivirus and Firewall disabled. When I started my computer in the Normal Startup Option, iTunes fails to work again. So I have ahead of me the long and ardous task of ruling out the service that is causing conflict with iTunes6. Then work with the software vendor to arrive at a solution.
    This seems to have worked so far- I haven't started to go through ruling out what made iTunes not work; I also haven't tried to connect my iPod or burn a CD, so we'll see.

  • Layouts problem after upgrade

    Hello, I have a problem after upgrade from 2007 to 8.81 PL 05.
    Since we upgrade SAP, the layout changed.
    For example, in a credit note if it has 3 lines, in the layout will appear 2 lines in a page and 1 in other page.
    if the credit note has 4 lines, in the layout will appear 3 lines in a page and 1 in other page.
    What could it be?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi!
    lines are not duplicated, they just printed on different pages:
    - if doc has just 2 lines  -  printed form is good
    - if doc has 3 items, two of them are printed on the first page, 3d - on the second page
    - if doc has 4 items, 3 of them are printed on the first page, 4th - on the second page
    When we are printing directly from the server everything is working fine. But printing from all Clients gives us this issue that is described above.
    SAP re-installation  for all users will take too much time. May be exist any other option that we can try?
    we really appreciate your help

    I have a dell vostro 1014 laptop.After upgrading to 8.1 from 8.0 , i am not able to give static IP address in the Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties of my Ethernet card properties.I am getting the following error:
    "COM surrogate has stopped working error"
    In order to access Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties

    after restarting my system and when i access Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties  i find that ip address,subnet mask and default gateway( in the
    use following IP Address field) have given has become  empty.But
    preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server enteries are still there.I am able to fetch IP address from the DHCP server
    Does anyone knows how to troubleshoot this problem?

    This problem may occur due to loss of some system files while upgrading your  dell vostro 1014 laptop from 8.0.to 8.1 or unsuccessful upgrade. 
    Try to refresh your laptop by inserting windows 8.1 installation disc.

  • Apple TV problem after upgrading to iTunes 7.5

    PROBLEM: After upgrading to 7.5, Apple TV no longer recognized iTunes and vice versa.
    ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS: Removed and reinstalled iTunes 7.5 from scratch. Reset @TV to Factory Defaults and reconfigured. Removed Apple TV from iTunes Preferences/Apple TV/Remove Apple TV.
    iTunes no longer finds @TV, either in the Preferences/Apple TV pane, or in the Device List. Everything worked perfectly before the 7.5 upgrade. All other features and devices working fine. Have reviewed all postings and eliminated the possibility of firewall or port problems.
    Suggestions welcome! Thanks.

    I have partially resolved the problem. Something with the 7.5 upgrade changed the network protocols being used by the Apple TV... switching to a wired network from end to end with a full shut down and reboot has the @TV back online... I am still working on trying to solve the wireless side of the equation.
