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

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.

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..

Hi, i have a new toshiba laptop with windows 7 home edition K and first thing i did was download firefox but it does not open... thank you!

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?

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.

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.

Why isn't itunes 11.1.3 installing on my new VAIO laptop with windows 8.1 (64 bit)?

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.

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
JL

Which 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.

How do I delete unwanted documents in Pages? I am using Toshiba laptop with Windows 7, 32 bit

I have deleted unwanted documents rom my ipad 2 but cannot delete them from Pages on my Laptop.

No. This is what the Pages User Guide, downloadable from Apple, says:
+You can create a new Pages document by importing a document created in another application, such as Microsoft Office 2007 or AppleWorks. Pages can import the following file formats: plain text (.txt), Rich Text Format (.rtf and .rtfd), AppleWorks 6 word processing (.cwk), and Microsoft Word (.doc).+
What is .wpd by the way?? A new format of some kind?

HT4528 I would like to import my iphone videos to my laptop and incorporate them into my office 2010 microsoft powerpoint. I have a toshiba laptop with windows vista

I would like to be able to transfer the videos into my 2010 power point. What is the best software
for windows vista to format the video ?

Plus you will need to buy a Blu ray DVD burner.
There have been discussions about quality issues with iMovie 08 because it uses single field processing to create the video images. Basically, this removes half of the lines of resolution from your original footage. This has to create some loss of quality. iMovie HD6, on the other hand, does not do this, keeping both fields intact.
iMovie 08 was really created to appeal to You Tubers and other web video users, where high quality is less of an issue. iMovie HD6 and previous versions were created to appeal to the budding moviemaker who wants a pro style editing platform with great quality, but ease of use, as compared to Final Cut programmes. That's also why iMovie HD6 was designed to work solely with miniDV tape cams, in either SD or HD format. DV Stream is a lossless format that produces superior results to any of the other high compression formats, such as AVCHD.
So, you need to spend more money to get HD DVDs, but your quality will suffer using iMovie 08, which your camcorder forces you to do. Perhaps some consideration of a suitable cam to begin with will be of help.
