Qosmio F60 - Each time it starts up, says it is first-time use

My notebook has just come back from being repaired (they replaced the hard-drive). Now every time I turn it on or it restarts, it says that Windows is configuring the computer for first-time use. Once on, the control panel pops up with 'How to customise your computer'. Plus, a small window pops up with "System Preparation Tool 3.14" and even if I click OK, it doesn't work.
Otherwise my computer works normally.
How do I stop my notebook from thinking it's starting for the first time?

Hi buddy,
> a small window pops up with "System Preparation Tool 3.14" and even if I click OK, it doesn't work.
And what happens if you dont click on this tool?
Maybe the notebook was reinstalled from authorized service provider and so the installation must be finished.
Otherwise I would recommend reinstalling Windows from Toshiba recovery disk again. Maybe something went wrong during installation and so it would be necessary to reinstall Windows again.
Check this!!!

  • Time machine would back up only the first time after I shut off my imac and started it up again.  Then it would fail or claim it could not locate my external Hard Drive even though it's icon was showing in the time machine dialog window.

    Time machine only ever backed up the first time it runs immediately after I start up my computer after it has been shut off.  All other back up attemps fail.  Recently it stopped recognizing the icon for my external hard drive in the time machine dialog window where you select the hard drive to back up to, and turn on and off the time machine function.  Now the external HD icon only shows up on the desk top but no longer in the dialog box. I just tried shutting the computer off and turning it on again and now the light is on, on the external hard drive but the icon does not even appear on the desk top.
    The external hard drive is a 1TB Seagate. The drive still has plenty of unused capacity.  I ran a diagnostic test on it. It said the disk needed repair but the repair function would not work. The message stated that it could not be unmounted and repair is not available because the disk can't be written to. The Mac OX utility said the disk can still be opened but can't be changed nor repaired.  The external HD is not S.M.A.R.T. supported.
    I haven't tried replacing the cable yet. Is that the next thing I should try?

  • I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

    I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

  • I purchased quick time pro, and attempted to download quick time 7, but it says I have quick time x installed.  I deleted quick time x but it still says it is there and will not let me install.

    I purchased quick time pro, and attempted to download quick time 7, but it says I have quick time x installed.  I deleted quick time x but it still says it is there and will not let me install.

    In the optional install items-Quick Time is not an option. I am on Leopard.
    Then you either:
    1) never had QT X installed and could not have deleted it since QT X is only installed on Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6), Lion (OS X v10.7), and Mountain Lion (OS X v10.8) systems or...
    2) you are actually running Snow Leopard (OS X v10.6) and not Leopard (OS X v10.5) as you just stated.
    Please confirm which statment is actually correct.

    Welcome to CS3.
    Before you post any further questions, please take a look at the video tutorials in Adobe's video workshop. I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to save you from having to ask many basic questions that can be answered by watching the video tutorials.
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
    It is a great resource and can get you up and running. Just select Premiere Pro CS3 from the products window, then select the topic "Getting Started" and finally the title. Start by selecting "setting up a project" under the titles window.
    Its like having your own in-house instructor.
    However, as Jeff said, the trial version will not have certain features enabled.
    Good luck.

    Used my girlfriends computer to start my iPad for the first time.   I logged into my itunes account.  Now the iPad has her iTunes account on it.  How do I change it to mine.

    You can log out of her account by tapping on the id on the right-hand side of Settings > Store and you can then log in with your id - is that what you want to do ?

  • I just started my Macbook air the first time, connected it with my wlan and know it asks me for a password and it does not accept the only password I know, what can I do?

    I just started my Macbook air the first time, connected it with my wlan and know it asks me for a password and it does not accept the only password I know, what can I do?

    It needs the user password for the wireless router, that would have been set by whomever installed the router, if that was you then try to find the password. If you can not find the password reset the router to factory default and set it up again.

  • Qosmio F60 - hibernation freezing and start up issues

    Hi...
    Problems began when my computer goes into hibernation mode and when i press the power button to start up again, it remains frozen.
    I then have to hold down the power button to turn it off and on again.
    Option comes up to start normally or safe mode.
    Either way comp freezes in the middle of loading and I have to hold the power button down to turn comp off
    Upon restart new msg saying there was a problem in start up and asks if I want to fix the problem
    I click yes and a number of things have happened on different occasions:
    1) computer fixes itself and loads normally
    2) computer says it can't fix the problem and continues to load properly
    3) computer freezes in the middles of loading or during the fixing process
    4) computer fixes and restarts but freezes in the middle of reloading
    i often have to go through this half a dozen times before i can load up normally
    incidentally my norton antivirus has been coming up with msgs saying i need to reactivate it (my subscription has not run out) or an erro has occured
    have done a full virus scan- none found
    is this a virus problem? do i need to do a system recovery? any other advice?
    help much appreciated

    Hello
    Have you already tried updating the BIOS as Akuma and Xardas suggested? I had a similar problem on my Qosmio F60 that battery wasnt always detected properly. So I checked the forum and tried updating the BIOS from official Toshiba website. This has worked!!! Newest BIOS version has improved the battery control so I had no problems with hibernation anymore.
    But before you update the BIOS you should do the following:
    -Close all running programs (also antivirus and firewall)
    -Make sure you are logged in as Administrator
    -Unzip all files from zip archive
    I hope it helps :)

    </jnlp>Here is the link for my application http://antaki.ca/bloom/Bloom.jnlp
    The first time the application is installed using a link on the browser it's downloaded then the certificate dialog is shown, after that I check the checkbox to accept the certificate permanently. The application doesn't load, it only loads the second time although I see it in the task manager. If I don't accept the certificate permanently it does load. This happens on both Firefox 2 and IE 7. I enabled the console and logging but nothing shows up there.That's really a weird problem, I wonder if Java Web Start is a viable deployment option, it does have great capabilities such as autoupdate but still seems to have important bugs.
    Does anyone have any clue about what is going on.
    The problem doesn't occur on Ubuntu 7.10.
    Thanks,

    You were right my XML file was not correct. I still couldn't find a valid JNLP validator. Sun has to provide that.>No they don't (have to supply a validator for their own document type, though it makes sense to do so), but yes they do (provide a tool that validates XML against schemas). Java can validate XML against a DTD or XSD.
    Check these two threads (and chase the links) for more details.

    Look especially for the posts by Piotr Kobzda.
    I had a tool on my site based largely on Piotr's codes, that linked to a valid JNLP DTD and XSD, but unfortunately my site is offline at the moment. Andy assures me that the JNLP 6.0 DTD has been corrected for the developer ..download tutorials of web start, though the online (web site) version may still be invalid.

  • Why so long to start my Mac Pro the first time?

    Today I just received my new Mac Pro - it's an 8 core machine with the hardware raid card and three 500GB hard drives.
    So I carefully unpacked it, checked everything and connected up keyboard, mouse, display and LAN cable. Then I turned it on and I've been waiting ever since.
    First all I got was a white screen, then after about 2 or 3 minutes the apple logo in the centre of the screen. After another 15 minutes or so I got a blue screen and then after another 15 minutes or so a "select language" dialogue. 30 minutes on all there is is the spinning coloured wheel.
    Surely it is not usual to take so long to start up the first time? Should I just carry on waiting? Suggestions welcome - I'm coming to Mac for the first time from Linux after playing around with a colleague's MacBook.
    Thanks

    Hi there. It could be one of your drives is actually defective and causing I/O to slow down to a crawl. To verify this, try inserting the DVD that came with your Mac Pro and restarting the machine while holding down the 'C' key. This will boot up the machine off the DVD and bypass your hard disks. If it boots quicker there could be a problem with the drives or something else.

  • Time machine starts making new back up every time, and previous back up disappears. Mac Book Pro and all newest equipment and OS. What should I do?

    System seems to have done it since beginning (actually first time the day that I moved to Mountain Lion) but it is now every other day. This defeats the purpose of having a back up. I did see more comments on this but no silutions. No red i displayed in time machine. Has Apple fooled me with this time capsule or is it just broken and they should replace it?

    Check Time Machine Troubleshooting to see if it offers you any help.

    If your signature is correct in stating your computer is running 10.4.5, you need to run Software Update to get your system up to 10.4.10 or later.
