Error updating BIOS from Windows Vista: error -15. Satellite a215-s7437

 I've tried to update the BIOS of this laptop which currently runs version 1.2, when the latest version is 2.0. When I run the BIOS update from Windows Vista, it fails with error code -15, with a message similar to "current BIOS checksum fail". The laptop was bought in Spain. Any ideas? The knowledge base was completely useless for this issue. Pedro.

Does the computer still work at this point?

    I have the same problem and
    have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
    then restarted as per instructions,
    went to Apple to download itunes,
    hit download now,
    Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
    did not get a save instead of run prompt
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
    If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
    i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
    If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.

  • I just did an itunes update on my windows vista 64 and have been getting a runtime error eversense.  Unstalled everything apple per microsoft forum discussions and solved the problem.  When is apple going to update this problem for itunes?

    I just recently did an itunes update on my Windows Vista 64 and have been getting a runtime C++ R0634 error ever since.

  • How do I correct a Windows Vista error for HP Officejet 6500 E709n wireless?

    I continue to get a Windows Vista error when trying to install the printer software ...now it does print, but only the bottom half of a page..???

    Dave, I would recommend completely uninstalling the printer from Programs and Features (after unplugging the USB cord if you are using one), and removing the printer from both Device Manager and Devices and Printer.
    We are going to reinstall the printer from one of the downloads that HP makes available, but first I will have to know if your printer is the 6500A or the 6500. Also is your Win Vista machine running 64bit software or 32bit software?
    If you can give me a complete product name and the information on your system, I will link you to the appropriate download.
    Let me know!

  • HT2305 Since updating my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7, my Ipod Shuffle, 3rd generation does not recognize last 3 playlist names; it calls them out as "playlist 3, playlist 4 -- even though in the panel the names are showing just fine. The music

    I have recently updated my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I have just added three new playlists to my Ipod Shuffle, 3rd generation. On the panel in ITunes in view on the computer, all looks fine and music plays. However, after syncing a million times, when clicking to "hear" the playlists, the voice will call out all the old playlists just fine - except for the 3 new ones I've added; it calls them out as "playlist 3, playlist 8, or "purchased". All software for the ITunes has been updated as of the moment. Why would switching from Vista to Windows 7 cause this frustrating issue? All help appreciated.

    From page 23 of your iPod's User Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
    If VoiceOver is disabled in iTunes, you hear an abbreviated menu of playlists in numbered order, but not by name (for example, “Playlist 1, Playlist 2,” and so on).
    So you'll want to make sure VoiceOver is enabled to correct this.

    You may select how and whether Firefox updates, although like most software it may be sensible to keep it up-to-date, it is more likely to remain secure and compatible with other software whilst up to date.

  • Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

    I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
    ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
    files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
    The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
    Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
    there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
    Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
    DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

    I somewhat agree with you.
    Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
    "7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
    Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines.  Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
    Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
    So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

    Can you stop the service manually? I would suggest stopping the service, setting it Manual or Disabled, rebooting, and then run the uninstaller again. Hopefully you won't have to resort to uninstalling the service manually.

  • Go Daddy UCC Certificate: "ExRCA can only validate the certificate chain using the Root Certificate Update functionality from Windows Update"

    Hello,
    I have this issue regarding certificate chains while performing Outlook Anywhere connectivity test
    by Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer:
    "ExRCA can only validate the certificate chain using the Root Certificate Update functionality from Windows Update. Your certificate may not be trusted on Windows if the "Update Root Certificates" feature isn't enabled."
    Note: even if I got the error, Outlook Anywhere and
    ActiveSync services work fine.
    Environment:
    - Exchange 2007 with SP3
    - Go Daddy Multiple Domains UCC certificate (up to 5 Subject Alternative Names)
    I already read and followed instructions on this TechNet post
    Can I safely ignore this warning about the SSL cert? Using GoDaddy UCC cert but it is a little bit different by this case.
    So after an investigation I understand the issue above is related to SSL certificate
    Certification Path (see screenshots below).
    NO ERRORS on ExRCA checking
    Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority is under Intermediate Certification Authorities
    repository
    Go Daddy Class 2 Certification Authority is under Intermediate Certification Authorities
    repository
    Starfield Technologies (http://www.valicert.com)
    is under Trusted Root Certification Authorities repository
    ERROR on ExRCA checking
    Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority is under Intermediate Certification Authorities
    repository
    Go Daddy Class 2 Certification Authority is under Trusted Root Certification Authorities
    repository
    Can you add some useful information ?
    I'm opening a support ticket at Go Daddy; I hope they could me some positive feedbacks.
    Regards,
    Luca Fabbri

    Strange I have a feeling the exrca tool can't validate the godaddy class2 root authority due some older compability and wants to use the older original root authority valicert owned godaddy. Or when the exrca tool is validating the root CA it only has the
    goaddy class2 root ca that was issued by valicert and not the standalone cert when doing the comparision. I sent the question to MS and will let you know when I hear back.
    You can get rid of it
    https://certs.godaddy.com/anonymous/repository.seam
    Download the cert
    ◦gd_cross_intermediate.crt
    Then import it into the trusted root cert authority on your CAS boxes. Then you need to delete the other godaddy class2 root authority. Make sure you see the one you imported both will be named goaddy class2 root authority but one will be issued by valicert.
    Re-run the test and it will go away, I also saw the error with my domain as well using godaddy and got rid of it by using the new cert authority.
