Since I installed a printer software Satellite L300 has stopped working

Hello there!
I'm new here so not really sure if I'm posting in the right place. Mods, please feel free to move to the relevant section, thank you.
OK I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 Laptop and ever since I installed a printer software on Wednesday night, my laptop has suddenly stopped working!
Ever since Thursday night, I have been trying to get it working but I'm faced with this message:
when i load it up it goes to Windows error recovery:
'windows has failed to start.a recent hardware or software change might be the cause
if windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly,startup repair can help diagnose and fix the problem.if power was interrupted during startup,choose start windows normally'
then it gives two options: Launch startup repair (recomended)
start windows normally
==========
-so i click launch startup repair (reccomended)
-then a scren loads up called 'system recovery options'.. it says: select an operating system to repair and click next.only windows vista operating systems are listed and can be repaired
if you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load drivers for your hard disks'.....
but nothing comes up so i click load drivers and it just gives me loads of random folders...and i haven't a clue which ones to load
========
5 years ago Report Abuse
Additional Details
so i just click 'next'
========
then i have 5 options:
-startup repair
-system restore
-windows complete pc restore
-windows memory diagnostic tool
-command prompt
==========
startup repair says it cannot manually fix any problems
-system restore just says your computer is in a limited state and performing this action cannot be changed...but there is no option to do so
-windows comple pc restore says i need to insert a backup disk which I dont have
windows memory diagnostics tool says that windows is preventing this
============
but on the system resotre it tells me to type something like: rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:\Windows
but i don't know where...i typed it in the command prompt but don't understand how to use it
=========
i also tried to click start windows normally but it won't work

If the problem is installed software, start notebook in safe mode and try to start system restore from there.
Please let me know which options are available. Can you roll back OS few days back?
Are some restore points listed there?

    Printing from within iTunes has stopped working since my last iTunes update. Using Toshiba Satellite Pro Windows 7 and HP printer.

    That's too bad.
    If/when help is truly desired, try providing some specifics of what is occurring, such as any errors that may occur when attempting to print and what specifically is attempting to be printed.

  • Satellite L300 suddenly stopped working - new motherboard needed

    My Sat L300 suddenly stopped working the other day.
    It kept freezing to start with, then nothing at all. So, I kill-disked the HDD and tried to re-install Windows (XP).
    During the install it threw up a message that some internal components had been incorrectly installed and needed to be reinstalled.
    I was told to remove the memory cards and re-seat them.
    That did not work. I thought that perhaps the HDD was damaged, so I fitted a new one, and started to reinstall Windows.
    Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the Motherboard was probably U/S.
    So I have been trawling the .net to find a replacement. Laptop out of warranty! I am told that some other serial numbered motherboards will work with this laptop. Don't really want to get a motherboard only to find its never going to work! My unit has an SPS number of: V000138330.
    I am being offered one with an SPS of: V000138390.
    Any ideas? Will this one work?
    And if it does, will it give me the functionality that I used to enjoy?!
    Sorry for the long sob story.
    Any advice gratefully accepted.

    Hello Andy
    Sorry but can you tell us more about your notebook? which model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
    Do you have European model?
    Has your notebook valid warranty?
    Maybe I have misunderstood something but why you want to exchange mainboard if the warranty is probably still valid?

  • Fresh Install Mac - Licensing for this product has stopped working  Error: 6

    We just got the new macbook pro refreshes at work and decided to make the switch to standalone CFBuilder.   We downloaded the trial and installed.  On launch we get this error, "Licensing for this product has stopped working  Error: 6".  Every macbook had the same result.   All are running 2 Ghz Quad Core i7 with 8GB of ram.   All of them get the same error.    All have a fresh install of 10.6.6.   Other than installing Air before the CFBuilder install they have no other applications installed.   Other than Air, there are no other Adobe products installed.  All CFBuilders were installed under an admin account.
    We've tried all the troubleshooting.   Permissions, LicenseRecovery, Setting the clock back to 2010... we even tried reinstalling OSX, then installing acrobat, then air, then CFBuilder with the same result every time.   We even activated the root account on the system and installed under root.  Same result every time.    The Flexnet service never gets created unless we use the License recovery tool.   If we install the updater it still makes no difference.
    All options for CFBuilder are grayed out under help.   Registration, Deactivation, Updates...
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for posting and letting me know. Yes, it is crappy to have to work-around it like that. I noticed when I installed
    Builder that it over-wrote some newer files, but I said "Okay to All". I'm using CS4 not CS5 and my newer files were probably better. I'm glad you got your program working at least. My problem is I started my first Project at the wwwroot level, like all the instructions say. It wasn't until I saw Ben Forta's video of it that I realized I was supposed to start a new folder within the wwwroot folder as my Project folder. Now I can't get rid of my first Project folder without DELETING all of the files in wwwroot, WHICH I CANNOT DO. MANY OF THE FOLDERS THERE ARE WORKING WEB SITES! If you know of any way to detach that original Project, I'd sure like to know how to do it.
    Thanks,

    Assuming that you are in Win (which you haven't said), you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:

    Then, download the full offline Reader installer from

    and run it immediately after restarting your computer.

    I managed to fix this... here’s what I did:
    I extracted the MSDN ISO to my downloads folder
    I created an office 2013 config file with logging set to verbose and copied it to the x64 installer directory
    I ran the installer and looked in my temp folder (c:\users\rob.henwood\AppData\Local\Temp)
    The log file created said “Cannot detect OSE Service”
    I found the OSE Service in the setup folder from the ISO
    I looked on another machine and found where it is installed then copied the registry settings for the OSE service.
    I restarted the machine and found the Office 64 Source Engine service now existed. I started the service.
    I ran the Office installer again and it all worked OK!
    Steps to fix:
    Create a folder for OSE
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Source Engine
    Copy the OSE.exe file to that folder
    Open the OSE.reg file (shown below) and apply the registry settings in that file to your registry
    Restart your machine
    Open services (services.msc) and see that  Office 64 Source Engine is installed
    Start the service
    Try installing Office 2013/Visio 2013.

  • TouchPad has stopped working in Satellite L300

    Hi Xaxer, hi there,
    as I dont know how to post a new topic, I just reply (I apologize for that way).
    The touch pad on my L300 has stopped working. (Vista 32 bit). Fn and F9 does not change anything.
    USB-Mouse works fine. Downloaded new touch-pad driver.
    Touch pad is not shown in the device manager.
    What should I do?
    Any idea?
    How can I check whether the tp-driver is installed properly?
    Thanks in advance.
    Heinz

    > How can I check whether the tp-driver is installed properly?
    Go to control panel -> mouse -> last tab (Advanced or Pointing device) -> Advanced button
    There you should see all touchpad settings.

    I printed a 'preview' document and now it continues to print a never ending set of copies.  I have re-installed the printer software, but it still continues to print more copies.  What do I need to do to stop the document printing?

    Try resetting the printing system.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
    4. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
    5. Restart your Mac
    This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

  • Installing HP Printer software update 3.0 has broken the scanner on my HP PSC 1355 printer.

    Installing HP Printer software update 3.0 has broken the scanner on my HP PSC 1355 printer.
    After the update, the printer prints correctly, but scanning from the Print and Scan, Preview or Image Capture fails with "Waiting for scanner" followed be "Failed to open a session on the device." Followed by the device disappears form ImageCapture.
    I've tried restarting to the computer and printer and plugging it into another USB port - the results are the same. Printer utility hangs too.
    Solutions?

    did you try this:
    Place the item that you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load it into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) if your printer has one.
    In the Applications folder or from the Dock, click Preview.
    From the Preview File menu, select Import from Scanner.
    Select your printer from the list. The details of the scan display.
    If a 'Software for this device is not installed' message displays after you select your printer, click Install, and then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
    Click Show Details to view scan settings and options.
    NOTE: Make sure that you select either the Flatbed mode or theDocument Feeder mode, depending on your printer and how you plan to scan. 
    Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan.

    Hi
    Did you try to reinstall the Toshiba BT stack?
    Usually this should help to get rid of this error message.
    Here you can download the newest BT stack:

    Remove firstly the old BT software from the system and after new reboot install the BT downloaded from the Toshiba BT page.

  • I deleted Bonjour, since I don't need it for remote printing.  Now I get the message " Airport Base Station has stopped working: and also a message saying APAgent.exe can't be found.  What to do??? Thanks.

    I deleted Bonjour since I don't need it for remote printing.  Now on start-up I get the message: "Airport Base Station Agent has stopped working" and also message: "can't find APAgent.exe.:  Do I need AP Agent??  What to do??  Thanks. 

    The APAgent monitors your AirPort base station and informs you if there are things like firmware updates available. This utility relies on Bonjour, but is not required for base station operation. However, Bonjour makes it easier for your PC to "find" the base station via the AirPort Utility and I would recommend that you keep it installed. If you don't want the APAgent, you can just use the Apple Updater utility (that was also installed when the AirPort Utility was installed) to remove it.

    Hi thaluza,
    We can see if there are files in a folder called TWAIN_32 other than those related to the printer that may be causing a conflict with the Quick Menu. If there are, we can temporarily remove the files to see if this will resolve the issue.
    To move the non-Canon Twain files from the Twain_32 folder, please follow these steps:
    1. Go to Computer / My Computer and locate the C: drive, then double-click on it to open.
    2. Locate the WINDOWS folder, then double-click to open it.
    3. Locate the TWAIN_32 folder, then double-click to open it.
    4. Inside of the TWAIN_32 folder, you will see a folder for your printer as well as a WIATWAIN.DS file. If there are other files in that folder, you will want to move them to another location, preferably your Desktop by doing the following:
        4-1. Click on each of the other items in the folder other than the the WIATWAIN.DS file and the folder for your printer to select them. You will want to hold the the CTRL key on your keyboard while selecting each of the items until all of the items except for the two referenced above are selected. Please be sure to leave the WIATWAIN.DS file and folder related to your printer inside of the TWAIN_32 folder.
        4-2. With all of the items you want to move selected, please go to the EDIT menu and select the CUT option.
        4-3. Go to your Desktop (main window that comes up when you start Windows with all of the icons on it) and right-click your mouse in any blank area, then choose the PASTE option. The items you selected from the TWAIN_32 folder should appear on the Desktop.
    5. Try to launch the Quick Menu again.
    Hope this helps!
