Problems after reinstalling windows 7

my hard drive failed and i installed a new one and ordered the recovery discs. I finally finished the install and after windows finally loaded the Toshiba configuration thing came up and after finishing it said it was restarting. When it restarted it wouldnt do anything but it had some lines on the screen. I think its graphic card drivers but nothing is working and toshiba wants a crazy amount of money for tech support. I need some help.

When it restarted it wouldnt do anything but it had some lines on the screen. ... I can go into safe mode no problem.
This part is consistent with failed video hardware. You are using the vga driver when in Safe Mode.

WiFi problem after upgrading to Windows 8.1 Lenovo R400 ThinkPad

I have this problem after updating to 8 to 8.1
Right after updating to 8 to 8.1, all of a sudden my wifi stops working. I used my philips external wifi usb stick and now I'm able to get the internet going.
However if I disconnect my philips usb I no longer get the internet because the built in wifi that came with the R400 ThinkPad no longer works. I went through the device manager and under properties it tells me, 'Device not working properly' however it is up to date.

Hi Matti,
Thank you for replying back!
I suggest you to reinstall the Windows 8.1, as all the windows driver will not update, if you have upgraded the Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
Please download Windows 8.1 separately and reinstall the OS, I hope this may resolve the issue.
Note: I am not suggesting for clean installation, only reinstalling the same OS.
Do not update the drivers from ThinkVantage system update utility. I suggest you to uninstall the current drivers and download the drivers manually for Windows 8.1 and install it.
Below is the link to enter the downloads page and download updates accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.

graphic card: AMD Radeon HD 8570
driver version: 13.150.102.0
thanks for support

Hey @jdudleyjones ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the card reader for your notebook is no longer working after updating to Windows 8.1.
You're probably right that it's a driver issue, however just like you I don't know which card reader you're using either.
Can you please tell me which notebook you have? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
It would also help if you could tell me the Hardware ID for the card reader. Here's how you find it:
Press Windows Key + X
Click Device Manager
Click View at the top and select Show hidden devices.
You will most likely find the card reader listed under Other devices as an Unknown device.
Right click on it and select Properties.
Select the Details tab.
Change the drop down menu to Hardware Ids.
Note down the first ID in the list (as you'll see they're all pretty much the same regarding the Ven_ and Dev_ numbers which is all I need).
Once you've provided this info I should be able to find the drivers for you.
Look forward to hearing back from you!
Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!

Problem after updating to windows 10

My laptop is HP Envy m6 1213 tx. Recently I have updated it to Windows 10. After updating to windows 10 my laptop slowed down. Even opening File explorer is also very slow. Not only File explorer every process and every application became slow. Please suggest a solution to my problem

Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!" You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3). I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store. My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5. Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs. I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store.
Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

Lenovo Y570 problems after updating to Windows 10 from Windows 7

Hi everyone, I updated my operating system to Window 10 from Windows 7 four days ago and I am having a ton of problems. I lost a lot of my Lenovo interface options as well... One of the worst and most annoying problems is that randomly, for half a second, the computer stops and thinks which freezes up my typing. If I am writing something, when it wants to freeze it prevents me from typing that letter. It basically overrides my keyboard well it does that freezing for half a second. Also, when I have a drop down menu it will close when this happens or when I right click, the menu will disappear when this "glitch" happens. One of the biggest clues I found is under the task manager. In the Processes tab, when this "glitch" happens "Windows Problem Reporting" pops up for a half second. I am not sure if that is causing this problem or if something goes wrong and "Windows Problem Reporting" pops up because of something else? Is there a way to check and see what these "Windows Problem Reporting" are? My other problems are that my fan control does not work anymore. I had the option to control the speed and the sound of my fan before updating to Windows 10. Would Lenovo or Windows 10 ever going to sent a drive to fix this problem? Also, I can not control my GPU switch anymore. Before the update I could change my GPU from Intel HD card to Geforce 555M. Now I have no idea what GPU I am using and how to go back and forth. Is there a fix for this? Since all these problems occurred with the Windows 10 update, would it be better for me to go back to Windows 7 and wait to see if Lenovo and Windows ever going to create drives for Lenovo Y570? Is it advisable to switch back W7 and switch back to W10 later?

X230 Wi-Fi problems after upgrading to Windows 8 Pro

Hi,
My X230 came installed with Windows 7 Pro and was working fine for several months. I upgraded my X230 (Intel Centrino Advanced n-6205) to Windows 8 Pro a few weeks back (10/27). The Wi-Fi was working fine for the first week or so. After that I enabled the Hyper-V on Windows 8 Pro and my networking problems started around the same time. Not sure if they are related but my wi-fi connection seems to have degraded dramatically over the past few weeks. At first it was slow then it started dropping connections and the it would not connect at all and I had to reboot. It is at a point now that it will not connect anymore. I have tried installing new drivers/removing and installing Intel PROset/rolling back drivers/Remvoing the hyper-V etc. All options seemed to work for a day or so. Right now the Wi-Fi doesn't work anymore. No fiddling around works. Very frustrating, how can I check if this is something related to Windows 8 or if it is related to Centrino. I'm *this* close to rolling back to Windows 7 and be done with this nonsense. I have about 10 devices in the house which connect fine to this wifi router.
Thanks,

Hi,
Does your notebook have switchable graphics that worked i Windows 7?
The AMD graphics driver provides the audio while using an HDMI output.
You will need to install the AMD graphics driver in Windows 7 compatibility mode to resolve this.
The instructions on how to install Windows 7 drivers in compatibility mode are here.

Desktop H430 problems after update to Windows 8.1

Desktop LENOVO IdeaCentre H430 VDH3UGE Intel Core i3-3220 3,30 GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, AMD HD7570, Win8
After updating Windows 8 to 8.1. I have problems with software on my computer including Mozilla Browser.
Although the software installed in Windows 8, still run in update 8.1, many give problems: Sluggish, long (to very long) response time, hanging and such like. Even Mozilla Firefox worked in 8, but gave problems in 8.1, so I switched to Nightly.
Programs like Magix MusicMaker 2013 run really bad.
So too Arcsoft MediaImpression for Kodak
And in general there is a sluggish/long/hanging response.
I looked at Lenovo driver website to see if I needed updates and tried the first couple:
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) – Desktop = Realtek Audio Driver
h1100913.exe !!!!
But I must have screwed up with this download because I lost sound!!!!
Or I screwed up with BIOS download???
Flash BIOS update - Flash from Operating System version for H430 - Version ECJY24AUS
But when I got to the Core-Chipsatz Drivers I really got confused!!!
There were two options and I had no idea if I needed one, and which one, or both:
Intel Me Driver h1100732.exe Windows 8.1 64-bit
Intel chipset Driver h1100731.exe Windows 8.1 64-bit
Too complicated for me, I should have stayed away from this, have no idea which is right - or even if I needed them really. It was just because the computer worked so bad!
Can anybody help, advise

I no longer believe it is avast antivirus causing the problem. I think Microsoft have screwed up again. Both Spybot and Avast were no longer compatible, and had to be updated to a new version - luckily for both of these there was a new version available. For some of my other software there is not - although they all functioned on W8 !! additionally I get other strange "happenings" like a window saying there is no CD inserted when there is no CD for the program (I read somewhere of someone also mentioning this) and other strange/weird little happenings which are not supposed to happen - and for no apparent reason!
This lenovo H430 is a really bad computer - now with 8.1 it is even worse !

Re: Keyboard problems after upgrade to Windows 8 Pro

I have an HP Media Center Desktop PC, about 3 years old, with a Logitech wired keyboard. I had no problems at all until I upraded to Windows 8 64 bit from Vista. After a period of inactivity (anywhere from a half hour to several hours) the keyboard ceases to function. Nothing I type appears on the screen. It's as if I had disconnected the keyboard. It happens in any application, even the user login. I have no issue with the mouse. That's a wireless HP mouse.

Hello Spece:
Welcome to HP's forum. Please post your computer's information so we can direct you to the right software and drivers. Example ; HP Touchsmart 600-1050 Windows 7 64 bit. Thank you frrw

785GM-E51 BIOS problem after upgrading to Windows 8

Randomly (it seems) I can't enter my BIOS or use the F11 key to choose the boot device when starting or restarting my 785GM-E51 based system - but only running Windows 8 or 8.1.
Whenever I wipe Windows 8 off the drive and reinstall Windows 7 I have no problem ever, same when I used XP. But When I upgrade to Windows 8 or 8.1, much of the time (but not always) I can't enter the BIOS, nor is there that message at the bottom of the screen when booting up that says to press esc to enter the BIOS or F11 to select the boot device. This happens whenever I use Windows 8 or 8.1 as the operating system.
I am currently running the latest BIOS, but this has happened with the 2 previous BIOS versions I reflashed as well. Currently, the only way I can enter the BIOS is to reboot sometimes up to 10 times before I finally see that message at the bottom and then I can enter the BIOS, etc.
How could the operating system have this effect on the BIOS?
(Currently I have flashing disabled and also I password protect the whole system with a BIOS password.)
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hello again and thanks for your reply,
If that 'Del or F11" message doesn't show up on the bottom line of the screen when restarting before the BIOS prompts me for my system password, you can't enter the BIOS at all, ever. The MSI logo is disabled, but changing that doesn't do anything different either. No matter how many times you press the Del key the BIOS often won't recognize it when the boot drive is Windows 8 or 8.1. You have to reboot over and over (sometimes 10 or more times) until you see that message, then you know the BIOS will recognize the 'Del' key and you can go into the BIOS. Interestingly, what sometimes works when this is happening, is to go into a Windows account, then restart or shutdown. The next time you can usually (but not always) see that message and know you'll be able to enter the BIOS.
I've taken out the memory for another issue, but that didn't change anything. I've tried changing from my DVI monitor cable to VGA (also for something unrelated) and that didn't do anything either. I installed a new graphics card, instead of using the AMD onboard graphics, and that didn't change anything either.
And to be clear, this only happens with Windows 8 or 8.1, not Window 7, XP, linux, etc.
What I do now is I have 2 SSDs, one with Windows 7, the other with Windows 8.1. You can always press 'Del' or 'F11' before the BIOS password prompt appears when the Windows 7 SSD is the boot drive (the only drive). But when you use the Windows 8.1 drive to startup (again the only drive), you have this problem much of the time. And this has been happening since I upgraded to Windows 8 when it was released 2 years ago (8/2012), even trying different revisions of the BIOS firmware (last update 2/2011).

WiFi problem after upgrading to Windows 8.1

So I have this problem since November 2013 after updating to 8 to 8.1
Right after updating to 8 to 8.1, all of a sudden my wifi stops working. I used my old Belkin external wifi usb drive and now I'm able to get the internet going.
However if I disconnect my Belkin usb I no longer get the internet because the wifi adapter that came with the H520 Desktop no longer works. I went through the device manager and under properties it tells me, 'Device not working properly' however it is up to date.
Anybody else had this problem and had it fixed?
Solved!

hi dudameister,
Thanks for Posting!
Open Device Manager and uninstall the WLAN 802.11 driver
"Place a check on the Delete driver software for this device "
the hit on scan for Hardware Changes
Delete the driver again until it does not show you a check box for deleting driver software
then Restart the computer.
Now install this
Realtek 8188EE Wifi
Then try reconnecting again.
Hope this helps

HP Pavilion G6-2244NR network, usb, wireless problems after downgrade to Windows 7

HP Pavilion G6-2244NR with networking issues. Okay, so I have a G6-2244NR that I had to downgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64 (SP1), due to problems with software compatibility. Install was originally done on UEFI GPT, wiped 8 and started from scratch with Legacy support MBR. Install went perfectly fine. However, I boot into 7 and I get the Network icon showing a red X. I then go into manager and note that there are no networking devices listed. Instead I have 8 devices listed under "Other Devices" with yellow exclamations by each of them. This includes the Bluetooth Controller, the Ethernet Controller, the Network Controller, a PCI device, the SM Bus Controller, two USB controllers, and an "Unknown Device". Bluetooth ID is ven_1814&dev 3298, Ethernet ID PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136, and so on. I have downloaded drivers out the wazoo. I think I updated the chipset but not sure if right chipset updates (Catalyst 12.6). Still no luck. Every time I try and install what I think are correct drivers I get a "Device not working" error on the LAN card. Can anyone help??

Sync problems after switch from Windows to Mac; cannot read/write error msg

I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
I recently switched from a PC to a Mac. To move my iTunes files (50GB) I simply dragged and dropped them from my external HD to my new computer. I know that Apple does not recommend this process, but when I needed to move my library between drivers earlier this year, it was the only way I could do it without getting an error message that killed the process.
Moving the files seemed to be a success. Everything appeared in iTunes, I was able to play the music, etc.
I then tried synching my iPod (Classic 160 GB – I think 5th gen, it’s about 3 years old) on the new computer. I got some message that said you can only have one iPod per account and that I would have to wipe the iPod before syncing. I let it do that.
Here's where problems began:
With a few gigs to go in the sync I got a message that says something to the effect that iTunes cannot read or write to the iPod. Even though must of the library had been transferred to the iPod, before disconnecting the iPod iTunes wiped all but a few hundred megs worth of music from it. I've tried restoring the iPod a few times but that has had no effect. The first time I tried to sync the iPod it was formatted for Windows. I have reformatted it for Mac.
Also noteworthy is that the first 3/4ths of my library copies very quickly -- 1GB a minute -- but then it eventually slows down to where 100 MB takes 10 minutes. It copies the files in a different order every time, so it doesn't look like it's getting hung up on the same files every time.
In case I had a corrupted file, I deleted all the files added to the library since my last successful sync.
Suggestions?
Should I just go to the nearest Apple store and beg for mercy?

Hi!
same problem here.I can use around 30G of my iPod Classic 160G.If i try to upload more than that it will take very long time and finally freezes.
Have no idea what to do..
