NB200-122 win 7 GPS compatibility

Hi all,
I upgraded from WXP to Win 7 and am very satisfied with it.
I had a problem with the connection manager. Paupau solved it for me.I thought I had all compatibility issues solved. I noticed today that I have one small (hopefully last) issue. The connections manager tells me that GPS is not supported. I found a driver in the Toshiba Win 7 site but it didn't help.
Can anyone help please?

The NB200-122 has an internal GPS device. I used it with Windows XP. Says it is not supported under Win 7.

Nb200 on win 7

dear experts...does nb200 support win 7?..atom 1.66, 1gb ram

Yes the NB20x will run Windows 7 and all drivers are available in the download section, it will need to be a clean install since you can't upgrade XP directly to 7. Typically you would need to create a bootable USB thumbdrive installation or would need an external USB DVD Drive...

My NB200 122 - Question about OS Restore

Hi everybody!
Well, 8 months i bought an NB200 122 (XP), and i love it! In this period there were 2 os crashies - system failure - and no boot were possible. The waraty shop fix the problem, but i lost all my environmet, because the system restore get the os to groud zero. I lost all my programs and drivers for printers an so on...
- My question is: If i make a recovery disk with 'Recovery disk creator - utility' could it save my environment (growned up os) and then to restore it as it was made by me? (My added programs and drivers, etc).
With many thanks,
i'm looking foreward for your answer.
..... have a nice day!

No, those are created from a hidden partition. They will always set you to ground zero. But make them anyway. Can't tell when you may want to do that.
You should certainly make an image of the entire drive when you have it the way you like. I do this every single day and keep several recent generations for backup.
You can do that with third-party applications. Here are three pretty good ones. I use the second two myself. Ghost has been recently resurrected by Symantec.
   Norton Ghost
   Acronis Trueimage
   Storagecraft Shadowprotect
You'll probably want to put the image on an external drive.

GPS Software for NB200-122

My NB200 supports 3G, so I inserted a twin SIM card in it and it's working fine. The GPS is also working fine and gives me the coordinates of the spot where I am. However, as stated in the user's manual, there is no navigation software installed.
What would be an appropriate software to install on the netbook? Doing a research shows me applicatons for mobile phones and dedicated GPS devices.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

As far as I know Toshiba doesnt offer any navigation software so you must check which navigation applications are available for usage with notebooks.
Visit some forums where you can read experiences of people who use this and make a decision which one is the best for you.
Every of us have some specific criteria for this stuff and my favourite program must not be the right one for you.
If you make decision please let us know which one you want to use. I believe you are the first one with this question and it will be interesting to read something about your experiences with 3G, GPS and navigation using laptop.

IPhoto and geotagging / GPS compatibility?

Hi,
I'm interested in adding location information to new pictures that I take, but I would like to do so in a way that is compatible with iPhoto. Any advice on the following:
1. Does iPhoto have space to store lat/lon information in photo metadata? How will I be able to view this data?
2. To what extent is the format for such data standardized? (i.e., is this similar to ID3 tags on MP3s in that any program I import an MP3 into will "know" the file's "title" and "artist"... or if 2 years from now I decide to switch to a different photo management program, are these fields likely to be lost/useless?)
3. Are the answers for the above different for JPEG and .NEF (Nikon RAW) files?
4. Does anyone have experience using an "aftermarket" GPS geotagging device (e.g. "ATP PhotoFinder") with iPhoto? Any compatibility recommendations/warnings?
Thanks!

Mike:
The metadata is stored in the database file and is not written to the image file until it is exported out of iPhoto with the option to include keywords activated. Then it has to be imported into iPhoto for it to be recognized. A good feature to suggest to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Hand-held GPS compatability

Does anyone know of any hand-held GPS units that are compatible with the MacBook Pro? I am interested in the Garmin eTrex Venture HC unit. But I find nothing on the site that tells of any compatibility with Macs. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks...

I googled, "GPS units that are compatible with the MacBook Pro" and came up with at least this link:
http://askville.amazon.com/GPS-unit-compatible-Mac/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=131 1999
if not many others. But I'm sure you found it as well when you googled. In any case have you contacted Garmin for an answer to your question.

Yes...lots of folks at Adobe. And since they haven't released any information, you'll need to wait like the rest of us.
Also, before I buy is there any compatibility issues with Windows 7 x64 and CS4 Design Premium?
Thanks,
Dean
Now...that I can help you with. CS4 is fully supported under Win7 in both 32 and 64 bit. I have the full master collection here and everything runs just fine.

GPS compatable cameras that work with Aperture

Apart from the Nikon D1X and D2X are there any other cameras out there that let you plug in a GPS device to catch location data on the metadata file for the image? The high end Canon poducts don't mention this in their product spec's; is this oversight or absence? Any other models or makes as alternates to the expensive Nikons or work arounds for less costly cameras?

Mac and GPS compatibility!

I have a macbook with an intel core processor. I recently bought a GPS unit and realized that most, if not all, are only PC compatible. What do I need to make my GPS work with my mac? Hopefully I can keep it cheap too. Help!!!!!!!!

Your answer will very much depend on the software and hardware you have but don't mention. I suggest checking the manufacturer's website for forum pages as well as doing a Google search for "GPS forums". Most likely someone has already tried various solutions and either found an answer or determined that it won't work.
Good luck! bill

Win/Mac font compatibility

I posted this at the bottom of a thread I started a while back about font substitution, but I guess it was too far
down the heap to be noticeable. So here it is again.
I had problems with two fonts being substituted in a packaged file sent to a Mac user. I have realised that while most
of the fonts used in the document are OpenType, the two that were substituted were Type 1s. So I have bought OpenType
versions which I am hoping the Mac will be able to use and so not cause the substitution problem.
But if I am right about the cause of the problem and my solution, I can't square that with my use of Dingbats in the
file, my Dingbats being a Type 1 but no substition having taken place on the Mac.
Is it possible that when the file was opened on the Mac there was some sort of automatic substitution for a Mac version
of Dingbats?
k

I have run tests that further complicate the issue.
I packaged a file and got the Mac user to make a PDF.
The original Type 1 Helvetica Bold, that had been substituted when a file using it was opened before, is now rendering
correctly. The new OpenType Helvetica Bold is being replaced.
When I look at the properties of the PDF, what I am assuming is the OpenType Helvetica shows as a TrueType font, while
other OpenType fonts specifically MyriadPro are described as Type 1.
Two versions of Garamond were included a Type 1 and an OpenType to check compatibility and as expected the Type 1
version was substituted while the OpenType version rendered correctly. But in the fonts list for the PDF, only one
Garamond is listed, described as a Type 1.
I made the test file on CS3, but I see the Mac user has made the PDF on CS4.
Any clues?

I too was interested in the question given the TomTom site does not give any info with respect to the 6233 being compatable.
Today I managed to find a colleague with a TomTom 500 to see if the hands free bluetooth system worked- it did.
on the strength of this I have just ordered a 720

WIN XP PRO compatibility - retail OEM (not restore OEM) VS full retail box?

I was under the impression that Boot Camp will only allow installation of Windows XP Pro 32 bits RETAIL, that is the full install copy purchase in store and not an OEM copy.
Then, I realised there is confusion between:
-OEM from a retailer to go in a custom PC
-OEM used to restore a DELL, HP, or other purchase computer
I fund two different Windows XP Pro 32 bits that are 150$ difference:
OEM from online store (just the CD) such as,
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=25718 30&CatId=672
vs
RETAIL version (full boxe) such as,
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=11049 19&CatId=672
Please clarify if you can.

Brun:
Please click [HERE|http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116511] and you will see that it is an OEM version however cheaper than the links you proposed.
You right. OEM Installations will work as long as the user understands that the license (once activated) will only work on the first computer that it is installed and is not transferable. The link above is an example of this. These installations disks are bought directly and do not accompany any computers.
The other OEM version is the version that come with branded disks such as DELL and HP etc. This will not work and will almost always fail installation.
Then there is the FULL retail version where the license is transferabe from one computer to another as long as it is only used on one machine at a time.

Hand Held GPS Mac Compatibility?

Does anyone know if there is a hand held GPS unit, suitable for hiking, geocaching, that is completely, totally right-out-the-box compatible with
our Mac, OS X? But then, even if there were, the available yummy software that
is out there probably wouldn't work...why is everything so difficult at least for me...sob...
thanks,

P205-6267 - WiFi mysteriously shuts off - Win 8.1 32-bit

I resurrected an old Satellite laptop my daughter was using for a long time as a 'desktop.' Monitor wasn't working. Once I got her a desktop PC, I managed to repair the display, install a new hard drive and install Win 8.1 32-bit on it.
It has been working well for a few months (wicked fast with Verizon FIOS - 35mbps!) but now I'm having a mysterious problem with the internal WiFi adapter mysteriously shutting off for no apparent reason. Sometimes the troubleshooter can turn it back on, sometimes not and I have to reboot. Lately even rebooting doesn't help - it comes up turned off.
I recently had an overheating problem, solved with an air cleaner spray can. I worry the overheating may have damaged something.
I don't know if the adapter is going bad or if it's a Win 8.1 compatibility issue. I could go back to Win 7 32 bit if necessary, but I'd prefer to fix this first, if possible.
Details:
P205-6267
Windows 8.1 32-bit
3GB RAM
Network Adapters:
Intel(r) Wireless WifFi Link 4965AGN
Driver Date 10/7/2010 Version 13.4.0.139
Digital Signer Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Layer
"Update Driver" says the best dirver is already installed.
Device Manager says "The Device is working properly."
I don't mind downgrading to Win7 but I don't want to do all that only to find it's a hardware problem. Any install I do will be a clean install - I don't have or want the Toshiba disks.
Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts regarding:
Running Win 8.1 on a p205
Troubleshooting a possible hardware failure on the WiFi adapter
Buying / Installing a replacement WiFi unit if it IS a hardware failure
Upgrading the CPU to run 64-bit Windows (that last is extra)
Thanks in advance...
Barry

Just to let everyone know, I downgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and everything seems stable and fine. My guess is there was some incompatibility or insufficiency in the WiFi driver that made it unreliable in Windows 8.

"Invalid serial number" when installing Toshiba utilities on NB200-13J

This model (13J) is the government-sponsored student edition used by thousands of Greek pupils and is not listed in the Support downloads.
I made a new partition and installed XP SP3 Pro, in addition to the standard XP Home. I downloaded all the drivers for the model number printed on the sticker (PLL25E-00401WMG, which I assume corresponds to NB200-122 in the Driver Downloads).
Most of the important Toshiba utilities (Hardware Setup, Hotkey, Value Added Logical Device) terminate with the error "Wrong serial number".
Given that the Toshiba utilities work fine in the standard (old) installation,
1. Is there a way to bypass the serial number checking for the installation of Toshiba utilities?
2. Are there specific Toshiba downloads for NB200-13J ?

I apologise for the long post, but I am afraid that sooner or later other users of NB200 will (stumble on the same issues.)
Dear Timox, thank you for this interesting scenario, and let me offer my first thoughts. I have already seen this theme of installation sequencing in the forums, and my sequence was about the same - first non-Toshiba stuff and then Toshiba stuff.
You and other forum members say that the order is "very important" and of course I'd like to know *why* the order is important. A possible answer would be that each utility expects something else already having been installed. If this was the case, i.e. that users should follow a linear sequence of installation, wouldn't it be very easy for the developers to embed error messages in each utility like "please install utility X first and retry installation"?. In the same line of thought, developers could have bundled everything in one big executable and offer it for use in clean installation scenarios. If the "why" of the specific sequence is not stated explicitly, the "importance" of installation sequence still remains in the realm of magic.
Having said all that, I deleted the windows installation and started anew.
Non-Toshiba stuff in the beginning of your list were ok (I do them the same way for some 15 years now).
ConfigFree was the first in your list to misbehave, issuing the infamous in these forums message "This program only works on a Toshiba System". When I saw this I knew I was doomed. This error a1lone is sufficient for me to claim that the "importance of installation order" is a myth, and that this and the other Toshiba utilities listed below do not recognise my machine.
Here are my results:
TOSHIBA Configfree - This program only works on a Toshiba System
On reboot, and on any reboot, Configfree presents the same message.
TOSHIBA Hotkey - The serial number is invalid.
TOSHIBA Hardware setup - The serial number is invalid.
Toshiba Zooming utility - OK
Toshiba Zooming utility driver - OK
TOSHIBA Password Utility - The serial number is invalid
Toshiba Fn-esse - OK
TOSHIBA Accessibility - The serial number is invalid
TOSHIBA Touchpad On_Off - The serial number is invalid
TOSHIBA Power Saver - OK
TOSHIBA Power Saver Driver - OK
On reboot (and in all subsequent reboots) I get
"A fatal error has occurred. The program has terminated. code: 0x47F
PC Diagnostics - OK
Running PCDiag gives the following:
Model Name: Unknown
Part Number: Unknown
Serial Number: Unknown
Serial Number: Unknown
OS Version: Unknown
BIOS Version: Unknown
Physical Memory: Unknown
Testing CPU and Memory gives PASS results.
SD Memory Utilities - OK
HDD Protection - OK
3G, Driver RF, Wireless manager & Network Device ID Registry Setting Tool - not applicable for NB200-13J
TOSHIBA Value Added Logical device - NOT in your list and from what I read, very vital for NB200, does not install at all, as if the file were damaged. I had to manually decompress setup.exe and run the resulting DPInst.exe, after which TVALD says it installed fine.
This completes the clean installation saga.
Now, checking the Services, only Toshiba Bluetooth is listed.
Checking running processes with Sysinternals Process Explorer, I see the following Toshiba-related running processes:
CFSvcs - Service of Configfree (supposedly "only working for Toshiba systems" and not mine!!!)
ThpSrv.exe - TOSHIBA HDD Protection Service
TosBtSrv.exe - TOSHIBA Bluetooth Service
ZoomingHook.exe - TOSHIBA Zooming utility Hotkey Hook
Smoothview.exe - Smoothview (by TOSHIBA)
TosBTMng.exe and under it another 6 Bluetooth-related processes
_Preliminary conclusions and alternative theories:_
1. My windows may be missing some service(s), prerequisite for the Toshiba utilities, or there is a specific mandatory locale/configuration to be used when installing them, or MSDN OSs are not compatible, etc etc XP-related dark matter.
2. NB200-13J is not compatible with the utilities.
3. My EEPROM contents were somehow corrupt (from what I read many Tosh laptops suffer from this) and I need to reprogram them with the DMI Update Utility (see e.g. http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/7011-toshiba-notebook-dmi-updates-for-wrong-error-message/) or with special startup disks (from what I read, not yet issued for the NB200 series)
4. I am missing a non-public Toshiba utility/driver, provided only to major vendors (and not to end customers) in order to customise their windows pre-installations.
5. Some conspiracy theory, like the one saying that Toshiba Corporation succumbs to pressures from Microsoft Corporation to poison or kill XP in laptops/netbooks (...)
6. I am using the wrong fairy stardust.
_Next step_: I'll compare the services and processes running on the original windows with the ones on the clean installation and see what is missing.
In the meantime, any more ideas would be greatly appreciated... (to be continued!)
