Qosmio F50-126 not supprted for Win 7 upgrade?

I am really getting angry about Toshiba and Windows 7 upgrading option.
I am really excited about upgrading my Qosmio F50 -126 to Windows 7 from Vista Home Premium.
But after doing a bit research on the issues involved in upgrading, I burst into anger.
I went to this link [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9902P50000R01.htm] to check whether my notebook is supported but because i paid good money for it i it SHOULD be supported.
But guess what.. IT ISN'T!!!
On top of that.. it says on the website that the notbook not mentioned will get 'limited support'!!!!
WHAT?? my 1999 dollar MACHINE WILL GET LIMITED SUPPORTED FOR WINDOWS SEVEN!.
What am i suppose to do.. buy another Toshiba or sue them to get the money and buy a new one???
Does this mean I CAN'T run windows seven will all the drivers runnin??? WHAT SHOULD I DARN DOOO??

hi abdusamed,
calm down - it takes some time to get all win7 drivers running, i am sure they will provide drivers for your cam etc...
but i think they are not tested yet.. and you wont get a driver that's improperly working, dont you?
and dont stress yourself with that "limited support"-thing...
this only means if a machine is deliverd with eg. vista there is support for vista only.
if you install antother os eg. win7 or linux they will give you "limited support" means if available they provide drivers and help.
just like running this forum (which is realy helpful to me and some others)
so just wait a little i am sure there will be a solution!
btw: you can investigate your hardware and get some reference drivers of the manufacturers..
but this will take a bit (lots) of time and some testing...
and i am not sure if there isnt any special hardware in it that causes the reference driver to work bad/not.
i wont do that ... but if you like....
btw: is there an official release date for win7-machines from toshiba?

Qosmio G30-126 Sound drivers for win XP

I install Win XP to the second disk win xp Professional but i could not found drivers for thw sound system What can i do?? I have to install Win XP MCE????

Hi
This sounds very strange and implausible because the driver XP MCE should definitely works with XP Pro. But try another hint:
Remove the old sound driver, download the sound driver for the Vista and try to install it.
In some cases the Vista sound driver works with XP. Check it out and please report the results its interesting.

Re: Qosmio F50-126 - Freezes when on battery power

*hey everyone*
I bought my Qosmio F50-126 couple of months ago with 3 year international warranty. There is something about the notebook which really irritates me--- *THE FREEEZEE*.
I have noticed that when I am watching a video on any player and any format, the whole computer freeezess *for 1 or 3 seconds and resumes* by itself *But the interesting thing is that it ONLY happens when running on battery*. It runns like a dream when running on ac with battery being charged. *IT INCREDIBLY annoying*
When your into the movie and lights are off and your in ur comfly warm bed. The WHOLE computer freezes with the audio jittering. It only happens for 1 or 2 seconds but it occurance is *COMPLETLY RANDOM.* If the laptop is in the mood of watching the movie it only freezes 2 or 3 times but sometimes it just get on my nerve.
I disabled my kaspersky and other random process runing. Please help me!
*Just for the note: It only happens the freeze only happens when running on battery*. Oh- hope this help
I notices that my HDD light on the notebook doesnt blink that often when on battery and playing the video so its not the load time the reason... also...SAME RESULT WHEN I RUN ON HIGH PERFORMACE, BALANCED or power saver---actually powersaver is *_THE WORST.... BYE... PLESE HELP ME OR MY LIFE IS DOOM_*

hey-- i'm amazed with the quick reply.. thank you.. okay back to the notebook
Yes, i did install nvidia driver from there website, 9700M GTS driver. The lastest one there is. You are correct about the heating problem but i believe its with all the qosmio because after reading a thread on it about the GPU temperature, i think it normal which it shouldnt be. Like, when doing normal work, the gpu temps hovers around 60 C but when playing game,, max it reached was 105 C when ruinnin the game at max performancel. Forexample, farcry 2 when on ultra high runs smooth with the gpu temp around 101 but when everythikng low,, back to 'normal' temp 60. But the gpu temp isnt mine concern. My concern is the freeze. So you mentioned about Toshiba Display Driver and i will give it a test and see if makes any differnce. I hope it does but i'm afraid it might downgrade my graphic power frame rates but i will still give it a go and see if it makes any diference. Also, sometimes, my display driver stops working, the nvidia website downloaded driver.
And final answer to the second post,,, umm..i dont remember,, its just these few days its getting on my nerve and decided to post a thread on the internet.
hope this helppp... so..im goin to toshiba driver and download the display driver and see if that make a differnce.i hope it does..
bytheway... only thing i dont understand is why doesnt it freeze my runin on ac?

Toshiba Not Prepared for Win 10

I am disappointed that Toshiba did not prepare for Win 10 in the manner they did for Win 8.1. - For Win 8.1 there was advance notification of driver updates and as I recall they were released on or about the same time as the Win 8.1 release. - I have a L855S that is 2 years old (bought new Apr '13) that will not be supported. Many others have laptops that will not be supported. - I do not know how Toshiba compares with HP, Lenovo, and others. But with the number of test previews of Win 10, it seems like there could be better support in a timely manner.

How the HELL do I remove all the background updates Win 10 has been doing for months. My laptop Satellite P875-S7310 hasnt been the same for months. Now it's practically been taken over by MS. Should I just refresh back to Win 8 and upgrade to 8.1 again??? This is ridiculous! Grrrrr.... This laptop is only 2 years old and I can't update to Win 10??

Can you trade in your iphone5 for the iphone 6 if you are not eligible for an upgrade?

I want to take advantage of the iphone trade in offer Verizon is offering, can I do this if I am not eligible for an upgrade yet?

No.
Either wait it out for your upgrade time, or switch to a Verizon Edge plan (you have to turn in your iPhone 5 in lieu of ETF fees).
With Edge, you don't get anything in return for your phone, except out of your current contract.

I have an iphone4 and that I have had for four years and they are saying that I am not eligible for an upgrade until the end of July 2015. That is four years and 3 months after I purchased this phone. "Customer service" said I had an upgrade at the end of

I have an iphone4 and that I have had for four years and they are saying that I am not eligible for an upgrade until the end of July 2015. That is four years and 3 months after I purchased this phone. "Customer service" said I had an upgrade at the end of July 2013, which I did not. She said that in the system my husband took an upgrade July 29th 2013. He didn't even have a Verizon phone, he had a work phone with T-mobile. I have asked what device he supposedly upgraded to since no phones have been activated and we all still have our same phones and numbers. Remember at the time, said husband had a work phone with T-mobile. I still have the very same phone as do all of the rest of my family members. No one has upgraded. I spoke with "customer service" for more than a half an hour today, Char promised me that her supervisor (Emily) would call me back by 7:30 tonight to clear up this problem. Well guess what? No call back so where should I go from here? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

someone swapped upgrades. Phone could have been sold For quick cash.

If you have the Education version you do not qualify due to the LARGE Education discount

The Veriton X275 not eligible for Win. 10 upgrade! Why?

I have noticed that the Veriton X275 is not listed among the computers eligible for an upgrade to Windows 10. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/windows10-eligible-models Microsoft has indicated that this computer qualifies to upgrade and the Windows 10 app is stating that Microsoft is working with the Manufacter. My other computer a Toshiba which was registered to upgrade to Win 10 some time afterward has already completed the process, so it is not regionally based. Others in my country have received Win 10 also.

that list states the models that will have drivers support, nothing related to eligilibty to windows 10 update. you can update it but you will need to search new drivers or let windows 10 install new drivers automatically.

Discount pricing, but not eligible for an upgrade?

My dads phone doesnt have an upgrade untill 4/24/12, but yet it says hes eligible for a discount and when I call up they always say his line is eligible for an upgrade. What is this discount pricing and how does it work if he still doesnt have an upgrade for another half a year.

Alright, couple more questions, is there any benefit from using his NE2 upgrade in april 2012 over the discount annual upgrade? And also, could I steal his discount upgrade and use it for myself? I know alot of people who steal upgrades im just not sure they are the annual ones
The NE2 discount is an additional $30,$50, or $100 discount (the amount depends on your calling plan - you'll have to call Verizon to get this information) So if you wait until April 2012, your dad's line will have that additional discount to put towards a new phone.
You can't "steal" upgrades. All you really do is purchase the phone on the eligible line, and activate it on another one.
You can use his annual upgrade now if you want, just remember it will be the 2 year contract pricing + an additional $20 fee for upgrading early. Also remember that doing so will void any and all NE2 discount he may have.
If you use his upgrade now, make sure you activate the phone on HIS line first (since you will purchase it on his line, his contract is extended another 2 years, and you must accept the terms of service by activating it on his line) and then you can activate it on yours. This process goes for using anyone else's upgrade other than your own.

Is there any way to purchase upgrade when PC is NOT eligible for free upgrade

Hi...
I bought my pavilion dv5 1 month to soon to get the free upgrade... Now i'm wondering if HP gives the same upgrade option to people who want to upgrade and will pay for it... I know I can buy Windows 7 on a DVD, but there's no drivers on it, and I was told by HP support that the drivers from the HP download site might not work properly on a standalone Windows 7
So is there any way to get upgrade by paying for it... Maybe HP has some buyable upgrade kit?
Sincerely
DCNR

When HP has Windows 7 drivers available, they will certainly work with a conventional Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade version.

DevNet Studio 8 Not Allowed for CS3 Upgrade

I wanted to give a heads-up to all those that paid for
Macromedia Studio 8 through their DevNet subscription. Adobe is not
accommodating these paying customers in any upgrade path to CS3 Web
or Web Premium. I just spent 47 minutes on the phone with customer
service, and they indicated I would have to start all over, buying
the full suite, as if I wasn't a customer in the past.
This seems unreasonable to me, as it would have been cheaper
to buy the boxed software, rather than the DevNet subscription. If
you know any decision makers at Adobe, they should hear about this.

Just wanted to let you know that we are aware of this problem
and the link
to this forum thread has been making the rounds of the upper
levels of
Customer Service. Customer Service is working on clarifying
this process
and making sure that everyone working with DevNet customers
knows how to
handle these cases efficiently. Sorry for the inconvenience
it's caused
you. If you're still having trouble upgrading DevNet products
to CS3,
please send a Dreamweaver bug report including your incident
number, so we
can investigate:

Academic Superstore CS5.5 download not eligible for CS6 upgrade?

CS5 academic version was purchased directly from Adobe in 2010 and is registered in my Adobe account.
A recent email from an academic reseller about buying CS5.5 before May 6 in order to receive a free upgrade grabbed my attention. It's really looking like a situation of buyer beware. I opted for a download version which came with an activation code for immediate gratification. But no serial number or product code was included.
I went through the steps to register with Adobe immediately after the installation on 4/30/12. Yesterday, out of curiosity, I checked my account at Adobe and did not see CS5.5 as being registered. After much searching, it seems like the download version is not considered a valid purchase by Adobe.
When the Academic Superstore was contacted, they immediately resent the email that contained the download link and activation code. In a follow up message, they "stated" that the serial number was sent in the previous message, but also to check junk mail in case it got filtered. (It was not.)
A screen grab from the Adobe Support portal with my name and address, with the request to enter the serial number was sent to the Academic Superstore. No response.
I paid for and received a product. However, I can't help but feel like I was scammed as the Superstore did not make a distinction between the boxed version or download version.
I've already resigned my self... but do I have any options with Adobe or the Superstore?

Hi Jeff,
This is certainly useful information.
However, I didn't realize that downloaded versions with an activation code purchased from a reseller are not considered valid. Academic Superstore did not send me a a key ingredient, a serial number, and have stopped responding to my concerns about receiving one from them.
I can't help but have the impression that this was an underhanded presentation of product on their part, e.g. there was no warning that the purchased download version would not be eligible for the CS6 upgrade. Had I known, I would have purchased the boxed version.
Best regards,
WV

Qosmio F50 - Microphone not working

For some reason my microphone is not working anymore.
If I go into the Conrol Panel I can see under the Recording tab "Microphone Realtek High Definition Audio Working" but as I speak there are no green bars coming up. And it is not muted or anything like that.
Is there anything anyone can suggest?
Thanks

> I don't know how to "check webcam software", so you might have to clarify what you mean by that.
Sorry mate; my mistake. It seems that the old webcam software called Chicony Webcam software contained the mic settings.
But the new webcam software on my new Win 7 Toshiba notebook does not contain this mic setting.
So I assume you don't have this as well but you can still check this
Ycan find the webcam software in all programs -> Toshiba -> Utilities -> webcam software.
However, back to yoru screen shot; I look like the mic is marked as default. thsi is ok.
Then you should check the properties is this mic.
Choose this mic and click on Properties.
There you will find different tabs:
The second tab called Listen (i think) contain an option which allows you to disable the mic to save power. Please check if this is not chosen!
The third tab allows you to increase the mic volume level!
Hope this helps!

Cs5 serial number not allowed for cs6 upgrade?

hello
I am trying to install CS6 Design Premium (via CD) and have CS5. However I am denied installation because my CS5 serial number is not allowed (it appears I must have CS5.5). All phone lines are engaged. As well as frustrating, this would seem a very poor 'stealth' trick. I have countless registered Adobe copies going back years and saw no warning re this possibility prior to purchase. Is installing from CS5 impossible?

phew! I took your advice and after many dropped phone connections, I was able to speak to Prashant (Adobe service rep in India) who was able to take create a (temporary) support number for me to type in to the registration dialogue via the challenge code procedure. This appeared to bypass the registration dropdown issue and so allowed me to register... at last!
In retrospect I am very grateful for your help and my good fortune in being able to speak to Prashant who was able to fix the problem over the phone. However I suspect this problem may occur to others and the solution seems far from easy when long phone queues and dropped connections add to the tortuous minefield of what is simply meant to be a registration process!
best regards in all events
Simon
