New hp laptop with windows 8.1 , why is sys restore disabled
Just purchased new HP laptop running Windows 8.1, wanted to set a restore point once I got my settings where I wanted them and discovered that not only is the restore drive disabled but also the system will not set a restore point as I am not the administrator. Tried to use the Windows 8 solution to that and discovered that doesn't work on 8.1. Is there a fix for this?
Hello,
A restore point is automatically created when you first boot your machine. Also, you can only manually create a restore point after 7 days (I'm not sure why). Please wait a few days and try creating another restore point.

I have a new PC laptop with Windows 7 and Office 2010. I have an Airport Extreme, and installed Bonjour on my laptop. Bonjour "sees" my printer. When I try to print, the printer lights up -- but doesn't print. anyone have an idea? Thanks Gregg
Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.

Help required with Photoshop Elements 4.0 this has been installed on my new Toshiba laptop with windows 8.1 for some 18 months and operating well. Now it will not open, message pops up saying “attempt to access invalid address” then “application not responding” Suggestions how to access would be much appreciated. Tks. Stuart
What is the size of your hard disk? PSE 4 is a very old program and I suspect it is not able to access the entire hard disk on your machine. Just a thought here.

Why does new PSE 8 and 9 both crash on my new Toshiba laptop with Windows 7?
I bought new PSE Elements 8 and 9 and both crashed immediately on my new Toshiba Satellite P 755 laptop with Windows 7 64 bit OS. I tried going into Properties of PSE 9 and going to Compatability and putting in Windows 7 but it didn't do any good. Please help!
Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

I am trying to install itunes on my new VAIO laptop 64 bit with Windows 8.1 operating system. At the end of the installation, as soon as itunes is trying to open, an error message comes up, saying "an error has caused the program to stop running." I tried the compatibility troubleshoot, it says "incompatible program". Does that mean, even latest version of itunes can not run on windows 8.1? If there is any solution, please advise. By the way, I have tried to run it on compatibility mode for windows 7 , windows vista etc, no luck. Thank you.

Frequently the font size will change when the touchpad is touched. This is annoying! Is there a setting adjustment I can make to keep this from happening?
This is very experimental, but since no one else has replied...
I'm not sure which computers are affected, but Firefox has some support for touchpad "gestures" on multi-touch touchpads. Most of the ones that affect the zoom level of the page are the "pinching" gestures, like a smartphone screen. However, it seems that by default a "tap" will reset the zoom level, and that might be the problem here.
Could you try this?
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''gest''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.gesture.tap''' and change it to... I'm not sure whether there is a command for "do nothing" but you could try typing or pasting in '''cmd_selectNone''' which cancels the current text selection in the page (if any). -
Upgrading a new Tecra Laptop with Windows 7 Pro to Windows 8.1 via the recovery disks
Just received a new Tecra Z50-A laptop from my company. I need to install Windows 8.1 which is supposed to be on the recovery disks I received.The laptop doesn't have a DVD drive and they are not available to ship until the end of the month from Toshiba.
1. Can the update be done from a shared DVD drive on another machine?
2. Has anyone done this and what steps are involved?
3. Where they are revovery disks -- will this wipe all of the applications that are installed on the laptop?
Thanks
JLWhich Tecra Z50-A? There is a label on the bottom.
I know of no way to install from an ODD on another computer. Best to obtain the recovery media on a thumbdrive. Toshiba offers to ship either one.
Recovery media wipes the drive clean and restores it to a predetermined state, which includes all the drivers, utilities, and bloatware that comes with a new machine.

New Toshiba Laptop with Windows 8 mouse disappears
I received a Toshiba Satellite Laptop for Christmas and it is running Windows 8. I started using it and it worked fine, but I started using Internet Explorer and the mouse froze, but I could still use my keyboard to get back to the start-page and move around with the up/down/left/right keys. My mouse was no where to be found on the start-page. I used the ctrl-alt-delete to log out, and then when the log-in screen came up my mouse reappeared and seemed to be working again. I logged back in and my mouse worked for a few seconds, then disappeared. I did the same things over and over again a few times, and either the mouse was nowhere to be found from the get-go, or it worked for a bit then disappeared once I started doing things. I shut down, and restarted multiple times. Any fix for this problem? If it is a Windows 8 problem I am very disappointing at the moment with the software Thank you, and happy holidays.
This may be the one i sold - but what we found was that the F5 key brought the mouse back . I am not sure how it happened in the first place. But F5 is "refresh" . this is a POOR choice for a function key that disables the mouse, since now to get the FUNCTION for f5, you need to press fn and F5 . If you hit just f5 like we used to, it will disable the mouse ... hmmmmmm. nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Re: New Toshiba Laptop with Windows 8 stolen
good day! my laptop was stolen yerterday,there is way to track or trace my laptop?
Yup... File a police report and check if you have a serial number for the NB.. they will be asking for that if you have called toshiba dept before for technical issues it will be helpful they could get you the serial number for the NB using your name and phone number...
Now for tracking the laptop actually thats a different issue, if you dont have installed softwares like Lojack or enrolled under the Norton Anti Theft Service.. There is no other way to track down the Laptop... Unless the Laptop will be tagged under Stolen Unit with toshiba tech dept and if the person who have the laptop currently will be calling for assistance with Toshiba Tech Support by then toshiba will be getting the current person's information like addresses and other details and by then we can ask assistance with the police for retrieving the Laptop....
so most likely i will suggest that you have to call toshiba Tech Dept.. 1-800-457-7777... They are helpfull.. -
Only happens with the email program
Hello,
Sometimes antivirus extensions cause browsing issues in Firefox. Try disabling McAfee while on your email program to see if it still crashes.
If after disabling McAfee the site still crashes, enable that plugin again if you wish. Please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

Laptop is L630 and i bought it in Korea, language base is korean/english. I downloaded firefox first but it was US-english, so i uninstalled it and re-installed the uk-english version. Before that I set a persona on firefox 9the only add-on i was in time to set)
When i click on the icons it does not launch...
I tried several tiime to relaunch the PC but so far no change...I can't think of any way to make the Navigation Toolbar appear/disappear based on which direction you move your mouse.
Well, there is full screen view, where the whole toolbar area including the tab bar slides up off the screen, and reappears if you slide the mouse pointer all the way to the top. (You can use the F11 key to turn full screen view on and off.)
Is it possible this is an option of one of your extensions? -

Trying to burn a playlist in itunes and i get this message at the end 'The attempt to burn a disc failed. An nknown error occurred (4450)'. This is with a new Dell laptop running windows 8. The playlist was 17 songs from cd's and itunes. Any ideas?
try this...
This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes. -
