Re: Satellite A500 - Pre-installed WinDVD application is gone?

Hi everyone,
Lately Toshiba invites me to upgrade Intervideo WinDVD for Blue Ray. After downloading the upgrade, when I try to install, I get an error message saying "You must have a previous WinDVD installed". Anyone willing to guide me through a solution for this?
Thanks a lot
Jake

Hi,
Personally, I don't use the toshiba WinDVD application. I guess, download the previous version:

install and download the newest one, then

and try to upgrade

  • Problem with the pre-installed WEATHER application

    Hi,
    I was quite pleased with the Weather app that came installed with my iPod Touch. I tapped in my location, deleted the default one, and all was well. However, after working for a short while just fine it's not stuck constantly on a sunny 28 degrees. If I tap the icon the actual weather report is correct (a miserable gloomy 2 degrees, lol). It's just irritating me that it's stuck on the main screen. Any ideas?
    I have updated to latest firmware and still no good. Can I delete the app at all? Can you delete pre-installed applications? I would try deleting and using a 3rd party app or something if I had to. I'm something of a tidyness freak and it annoys me having so many icons I will never use, haha. I would also like to delete the STOCKS app.
    So in summary - Does anyone know what the problem with my weather app is? And can I delete pre-installed apps?
    Thanks!!

    Safari, YouTube, the iTunes WiFi Store, the App Store and the Camera can be removed from the home screen by enabling Restrictions (Settings->General->Restrictions). Manual, Page 95
    The other original applications cannot be removed, only moved to another page.
    The weather app icon is static 73°F for United States region format or 23°C for United Kingdom region format. Did you switch your region format?

  • Satellite A500 - Can I install Windows 7 64bit?

    I first bought a Satellite A500 with 4Gb RAM just over 3 months ago with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium installed. At first I had the initial dramas with finding 64 bit drivers etc then it ran OK for a while. After about 2 & a half months I started getting BSODs with error message related to an nvidia .sys file. After a few weeks of this, updating latest drivers etc, and a number of unsuccessful attempts to diagnose the problem, it was occuring every time I used the laptop and to top it off the touchpad finally died as well. The company I purchased from gave me a replacement laptop.
    The new system is also a Satellite A500 and although it has a different model number and faster CPU it is otherwise virtually identical to the the one I had previously with 4Gb RAM and the same nvidia graphics card. However for some reason Windows 7 32 bit has been pre-installed. I'm not sure why the company didn't install 64 bit. A call to the tech dept with the question resulted in the answer "better for you", meaning 32 bit is better for me.
    My laptop is 64 bit capable. I know that when running the 32 bit version it only utilizes up to 3.2Gb of the installed RAM (my system says that 2.99Gb is useable - assume rest is allocated to graphics?) but I've read a post where the poster said that he/she found running 32 bit Win 7 was actually faster than the 64 bit version, even tho it wasn't utilizing all the RAM.
    *Can someone tell me if I am better off running the 32 bit version of Windows 7 rather than the 64 bit version?*
    *If I am better off with 64 bit, can I upgrade to 64 bit or do I have to do a complete reinstall?* No installation disks were supplied. Presume setup files are on hidden partition.
    Although I haven't had any BSODs with this new laptop, I have had a couple of occurences where the system has frozen temporarily with the messge "Your display driver has stopped working" followed by a recovery. Is this a Toshiba, nvidia or Windows 7 thing? I've read quite a few other posts from people with similar laptops to mine who've had the same Toshiba/nvidia errors but no resolutions. *If there is going to be a problem with this graphics card, am I better off with 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7?*
    Any advice would be muchly appreciated.

    Hi chrissy_h,
    I have to say that there is no performance difference between 32bit and 64bit. The only important point is that 4GB RAM or more can only be used on 64bit system. As you wrote, 32bit OS can only handle up to 3.2GB but not more.
    I think 32bit OS has a better compatibility to older applications so its preinstalled. Furthermore for the most applications 3.2GB RAM is enough and normally you dont need more.
    Theoretically you can install Windows 7 64bit but dont forget that there is no upgrade option. You have to make a new and clean installation of the whole system.
    Furthermore you need a Windows 7 64bit disk from Microsoft with license key. This can be purchased from every computer shop I think.
    Last but not least check the Toshiba website. There you can find all available downloads for your notebook. :)

  • Satellite A500 PSAM3A - Can I install a backlit keyboard?

    Hello,
    i have a Toshiba Satellite A500 laptop with the following numbers i can find: P7350 part number PSAM3A-04200E serial number- 79365650K.
    I would like to install a backlit keyboard onto it,
    Is this model compatible?"

    Hi
    Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E seems to belong to Toshiba Australian notebook series.
    In order to use a backlit keyboard, the motherboard needs to provide a special connector/port for keyboard illumination cable.
    You could get some details from a Toshiba ASP in Australia

    But I found some parts retailer and many of them provides keyboards W/O BACKLIGHT

  • I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?

    All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

  • IPad 1 pre-installed applications shutting down just seconds after loading with no apparent reason

    I've been using a second-hand iPad 1 running the highest available version of iOS for around a week now, but recently, when I wanted to use a preinstalled application they would load, but just around a second later I would be at the home screen again.
    (I'm not really in the mood to explain deeper right now, I'll reply to any questions I'm asked...)

    Is it just the pre-installed apps, or most all apps.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Unable to uninstall pre-installed applications aft...

    I'm unable to uninstall pre-installed applications after updated to Belle in N8, e.g. CNN, E!, KL traffic, Movie Teasers, Nat Geo, etc.

    Application manager only prompt message : "Removing cancelled", and unable to uninstall these apps. Anyone facing this & is there any solution for this?

    Hi skyee,
    I need to remove some unwanted pre-installed applications to optimize my N8 to run smooth without lag. My N8 have some lagging when playing video, when access cuztomized folder via shortcut at homescreen (it take times to display those app in folder & this caused me launch wrong app very often), when access app via shortcut at homescreen (sometime need to press it twice to launch app, dont know why).
    I can free up total 6.651Mb in my N8, if it is allowed to remove these unnecessary pre-installed app. This can speed up much more faster for N8.
    Dont understand why those pre-installed applications cant be remove since they are unnecessary app & not holding the main/ must have feature in N8. I can understand some pre-installed app such as Ovi, Social that act as main/ must have feature in N8 to let user download app / social networking, but why those unnecessary app cant be remove?
    Can give us some clues that why these pre-installed app cant be remove?
    Can this be fixed in next firmware update? 
    Unnecessary app in my N8, total 6.651Mb :
    1. CNN                 508kb
    2. E!                     846kb
    3. KL Traffic          603kb
    4. Movie Teasers   534kb

  • E51 - How to move pre-installed application from m...

    Hi all,
    I just purchased my E51 some days ago. The phone packaged with Advanced Call Manager pre-installed in microSD card. Now I want to use my 2gb microSD instead of 512mb from Nokia but I will lose the application if I take out the microSD card. How can I move that application from card to phone memory since I could not find the *.sis of that application.
    Thanks in advance.

    A new phone just includes the installers - you can choose whether to install on the phone or memory card.
    However, you can still transfer the app to the newer memory card. Use a card reader, or connect your phone in "Data Transfer Mode", and copy ALL the content of the 512mb card to your computer - make sure that you include the hidden files too. Then copy over these files to your new memory card, again take care to copy the hidden files. That way, you will have the pre-installed software on your new memory card.

  • Re: Want to get rid of Toshiba Softwares pre-installed on Satellite L650-165

    Hi,
    i just bought my Satellite Pro L650-165 and there are a number of softwares that come pre-installed with it.
    Such as Toshiba Tempro, Eco Mode, Bulliten Board etc etc.
    Considering the fact that i will be using this for my university i will be running numerous ram intensive programs on it.
    So i want to free up all the ram i can by uninstalling all these utlities.
    I know what you are thinkin... yes just because they are installed doesnt mean they are running. But is it safe to?
    I know it should be but still asking. i just want to be left with plain ol windows7 minus all the 'cool softwares'. any precautions?
    oh and although i have created the recovery discs using the builtin utility to do so.. i was thinking of ordering one from toshiba too. where to go for that?

    >So i want to free up all the ram i can by uninstalling all these utlities.
    I know what you are thinkin... yes just because they are installed doesnt mean they are running. But is it safe to?
    Even if such tools are installed, this does not mean that they would run in the background and would waste a part of the RAM.
    I would not recommend uninstalling such tools but to disable it from automatic startup.
    How to do that? Esay
    You can do this in msconfig.
    Start msconfig and go to start up tab.
    There you can just uncheck the tools which you dont need at the beginning.
    Save the changes and reboot the unit.
    If you would need one of the disabled tools again in startup tab, then you could enable this
    Note; disabling the process in msconfig does not mean that you could not start these tools manually
    Disabling the tools (processes) in msconfig means ONLY that these tool would not be started automatically when the windows boots up.

  • Satellite A500-17X: How to install Win XP mode for Win 7 64bit

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 17X Laptop recently.
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I have since upgraded to Professional. I am trying to download and install the XP Mode from the Microsot website.
    I have quit a few bits of software mostly Astronomy which worked in XP but will not install on Windows 7.
    From the Microsoft web site i selected Professional 64bit from the drop down list.
    When i tried installing the file a message popped up saying: +This is not a valid Win32 file+
    So i downloaded the Professional 32bit file.
    When i tried to install this the same message popped up. According to the videos on the Microsoft web site this should be easy.
    Anyone know what i am doing wrong.
    Thank You.
    Greyhound

    I too recently bought a Toshiba A500 17X laptop. Like you I also need to run some legacy XP programs that do not run under Win 7.
    So, I found out that I must upgrade from Win 7 Home Premium to Win 7 Professional. But .... before parting with 100 quid or so I thought I would investigate a little.
    At the Microsoft web site:-
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
    It explains what steps to take.
    At Step 2 you can run a tool to determine if 'your PC hardware works with Windows XP Mode...' This hyperlink takes you to the Microsoft Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Tool where you can download a guide and the tool to see if the PC is up to it.
    I did this and it seems the hardware is NOT up to the task, nor as far as I can determine is there a switch in the BIOS to allow this.
    Don't think it matters whether Win 7 is 32-bit or 64-bit.
    This is really not good enough for a laptop that cost £700. ............or am I wrong?

  • Hotkeys Alt+Ctrl+F1 - Alt+Ctrl+F5 - which pre-install application intercepts them

    I used to use keys combination from Alt+Ctrl+F1 to Alt+Ctrl+F5 as hotkeys for certain application. But in my new Lenovo ThinkPad w530 with Windows 7 x64 I can not do it, as it seems, that some pre-installed software has registered these combination for itself. When I press them, absolutely nothing happens, but if I try to assign these combinations in my app, i get the error message, that they are already registered for some other application.
    I've checked twice all installed applications, starting from Window 7 itself. Seems, that none of them uses these keys.
    Well, I've tried than to stop virtually any software, incuding resident utilities, but this hotkyes are still busy
    Is there any ideas, which piece of software pre-installed by Lenovo might reserve these combination for itself?
    Or is there any way to detect, which application intercepts handling this keys?
    Thanks in advance!

    So what? Whether nobody has the same issue with occupied hotkeys or has no time to answer?
    I suppose, that the problem is somehow connected to the package Intel Management and Security Status, which is pre-installed by Lenovo. But i could not find any option to change these default hotkeys or disable them at all.

  • Satellite A500-17X - Which Windows version is installed?

    The Toshiba detection tool indicates that my laptop runs a Windows Vista OS. But the Hardware basic information says it is a Windows7 premium home edition. Which is correct?
    I have a Satellite A500-17X purchased from pc world. The laptop was advertised as a Win 7 laptop.
    Thanks

    Hello Xardas
    I have a Windows 7 Home edition installed. The problem is, when I run the "TOSHIBA-242-detector" on the Toshiba support site it detects the OS on my laptop as a Windows Vista OS. I clicked Computer ==> Properties and the result indicated that a Windows 7 premium Home Edtion is installed - hence my confusion.
    Anymore suggestions? Thanks
