Re: Satellite P855-31V - Downgrade to Windows 7 and driver install order

I recently bought my first Toshiba laptop and after a few tries with W8, I would like to downgrade it to the previous version, of which I own a valid license of the Pro edition.
I checked which wlan card i had installed (my "PC Information" is below) and downloaded all 44 files available from support.
I updated the bios to 6.50, loaded the default values, changed the "secure boot" to disable and also changed the "boot mode" to csm boot. This allowed me to install W7.
I start installing the drivers: chipset, Intel display driver, Intel Management Engine Interface, Rapid Storage Technology Driver and some more and that's when things start to get ugly - some drivers aren't supported by W7, the nvidia drivers don't recognize the video card, upon reboot after installing some of the drivers windows starts to complain and tries to repair things. A mess.
Did I mess the order of the installs? If so, can anyone post the correct procedure? There are 44 files, some with names like "Toshiba System Driver", "Registry Patch"... I don't know when to install these, plus some of the other files don't have an accurate description.
If W7 can not run correctly on this machine I will have to upgrade it W8 Pro (as I need remote desktop), and again will have to install all drivers, so the correct order to install the drivers and utilities is still very much needed.
Thanks in advance for any helpful input.

I checked the Toshiba EU driver page too.
I found only the Win 8 drivers for Satellite P855 PSPKFE
So possibly you have chosen the Win 7 drivers for another P855 series and therefore not all drivers were compatible
To be honest, the special order is not really necessary only few drivers require right order.
For example BT filter package needs to be installed before BT stack also the Toshiba VAP should be installed before other tools have been installed.

    It would appear that you are destined for the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum since your question is related to Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements which is the focus program where you have posted.
    But, while the arrangements are being made, here are a few things for you to think about if you have not already
    1. Reset Tools - Select Brush Tool, then
    2. Delete Settings File
    Go to Full Editor/Edit Menu/Preferences/General and click on the option "Reset Preferences on Next Launch".

  • How can I downgrade from 11.0 and re-install 10.7

    How can I downgrade from 11.0 and re-install 10.7

    First, reconsider your decision. 11.x isn't quite as user-friendly as 10.x, but it has pretty much the same functions are before (albeit in different places). Give it a few more days, and you might grow to like it. Future releases will only get better.

  • Practical Windows Code and Driver Signing discussion

    Hello, my name is David Grayson and I work at Pololu Robotics & Electronics. I recently went through the process of signing all of our company's USB drivers and most of our installers for Windows. I encountered
    so many problems along the way that could have been easily avoided if someone had told me about them ahead of time. In response, I have written a 7000-word document that hopefully explains everything you need to know about code and driver signing:
    Practical Windows Code and Driver Signing
    If you are going through the same process, I sincerely hope that this document can clear up all of your confusion and save you a lot of time. I learned the hard way and now you can learn the easy way.  The basic conclusion of it
    all is that you should probably stay away from Go Daddy's certificates and use GlobalSign, and I provide detailed justifications for that.
    Click here to read the entire document.
    If you have any comments or questions, please post them here! If I missed anything or got anything wrong, let me know.  If you found the document useful and just want to thank me, then you can do that here too!

    David, 
    Thanks! Sorry, I would have replied earlier but got diverted to the latest crisis.
    David Wrote:
    "I don't know anything about a Go Daddy "Driver Signing Tool"; maybe you found that statement elsewhere."
    My bad, I meant to say Godaddy's "Driver Signing Cert" as opposed to their "Code Signing Cert".
    And Yes, I followed your instructions and everything works fine on Win7 now that I installed the root certs you recommended!!
    Still I must find a way for my driver package to install without the warning message in Win7 without having users install the cert.
    Godaddy support (I have little confidence in them) swears up and down that I can double sign my Catalog file by following instructions here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh967734%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
    Signing a driver package with two signatures
    In some cases, you might want to sign a driver package with two different signatures. For example, suppose you want your driver to run on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Windows 8 supports signatures created with the SHA256 hashing algorithm, but Windows 7
    does not. For Windows 7, you need a signature created with the SHA1 hashing algorithm.
    Suppose you want to build and sign a driver package that will run on Windows 7 and Windows 8 on x64 hardware platforms. You can sign your driver package with a primary signature that uses SHA1. Then you can append a secondary signature that uses SHA256.
    You can use the same certificate for both signatures, or you can use separate certificates. Here are the steps to create the two signatures using Visual Studio.
    In the Solution Explorer window, right-click Solution SolutionName, and choose Configuration Manager. For the driver project and the package project, set Configuration to Win7
    Release, and set Platform to x64.
    Open the property pages for the driver package. Navigate to Configuration Properties > Driver Signing > General. In the Sign Mode drop-down list, select Production Sign. For Production
    Certificate, enter the path to your signing certificate.
    In the property pages for the driver package, navigate to Configuration Properties > Custom Build Step > General. For Description, select Performing Custom Build Step. For Execute
    After, selectDriverProductionSign. For Command Line, enter this command.
    Signtool sign /fd sha256 /ph /as /sha1 XX...XX $(TargetPath)
    where XX...XX is the hash of the certificate you are using for the the secondary signature.
    Note  To see the hash (also called the thumb print) of a certificate, open a Command Prompt window and navigate to the directory that contains your certificate. Enter the command certutil -dump CertName.pfx,
    whereCertName.pfx is the name of your certificate.
    From what I gather, the issue is:
    1. Godaddy's "Driver Signing Certs" defaults to signing with a SHA 256. For whatever reason, most Win7 installations do not have the appropriate root cert installed to support SHA 256.
    2. According to Godaddy if I resign my Catalog file again with SHA1 then everything should work. They claim they have done this with other users.
    3. According to Microsoft the  Signtool utility used with following parameters will resign a Catalog that's already signed with SHA1 to SHA256.
    Signtool sign /fd sha256 /ph /as /sha1 XX...XX $(TargetPath)
    But I need to resign to SHA1. If I can resign to SHA1, then everything should work properly with the GoDaddy root that's installed normally in Win7 machines.
    Questions:
    1. Is Godaddy giving me bad info? According to them I can sign my Catalog file twice with the same cert. According to you I will need another cert.
    2. If I can double sign the Cat file, what are the proper Signtool parameters to make sure its signed again with SHA1.
    The Microsoft sample is for going from SHA1 to SHA256, but I'll need to go from SHA256 to SHA1. If I was using Godaddy's Code Signing Cert this would be an issue.
    Thanks

  • Satellite C650-191 - Downgrade from Windows 7 to XP?

    Can I downgrade to Windows XP from Windows 7 on this model Satellite C650-191?
    many thanks for any help

    Hey,
    Theoretically everything is possible because its your notebook and you can install what you want :)
    Such a direct downgrade from Windows 7 to XP is not possible, therefore you have to do a new clean installation. Downgrade is not supported.
    So you have to remove Windows 7 and then you can install XP.
    I have checked the Toshiba driver download page and it seems your model supports XP. That means are all drivers available:

  • Re: Satellite Pro L450D - Downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows XP

    I have a Satellite Pro L450D which has Windows 7 on it. I want to change to Windows XP
    When I try to install XP to Laptop I get this blue screen and will not let me go to the install process. Would I have to take out Hard Drive and format it on another computer or is there another solution?
    I have no Windows XP recovery disk for Laptop. There is a windows 7 recovery on hidden directory.

    Hi djxxx,
    What blue screen you get exactly?
    Generally speaking its not necessary to format the HDD first because this can be done from XP installation disk.
    I assume it has something to do with the SATA option in BIOS You should change it from AHCI to Compatible.

  • Thinkpad twist downgrade to window 7 missing driver

    I tried to upgrade the hdd to ssd, however I do not own window 8 copied. I download grade the machines to window 7 but there is no driver for wireless or lan adapter that support window 7 in driver matrices. How can I fix this or install window 8 in the ssd without having purchase another copied of window 8?

    Google for the iso... as long as you are using the key that came with your computer, it is legal to download the iso from the internet and install it. After all, you licence the program, you don't buy it.

  • Satellite L35-S2161 - OS and drivers install order needed

    I will replace the hard drive in my Satellite L35-S2161 next week. (I attempted this a couple of weeks ago but I could not get the wireless or the PowerSaver utility to work so I put the original hard drive back in, and everthing works)
    So what drivers need to be installed and in what order. Also, there is no Toshiba Value Added Package listed in the Toshiba Support website for my L35 with Windows XP. So do I need the Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP), if so where can I find it? I opened my Toshiba Restore Disk and folder COMPS1 contains all the drivers and utilities that I need. But there is no Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP).
    The only thing I can find in the restore disk is a folder named "Toshiba Utilities 1" and the Notepad in that folder says "+This package is for the Toshiba Utilities. It includes Hardware Setup and Power Save features, which can help you to customize your computer's hardware settings+.", Is this the Toshiba Value Added Package??
    Yes I can use the restore disk, but I would like to use my retail XP Pro instead. So if anyone can help with the *correct driver/ utility install order*, it will be greatly appreciated
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi
    As Im not mistaken, the Satellite L35-S2161 belongs to the Toshiba US series. All the drivers should be placed on the Toshiba US driver page.
    The Value Added Package is not created and designed for Win XP. Its only for Vista and Win 7!
    Using Win XP you need to install the Toshiba Power Saver Utility for Windows XP (v7.03.07Q; 08-25-2006; 6M) in order to get the power saver installed.
    Regarding the WLan:
    In my opinion you have not installed the right driver.
    There are two different possible WLan cards; WLan or Intel you will need to install the WLan driver which is compatible with Wlan card.

  • Best Windows version and drive for my Mac Pro?

    I am looking to purchase an new internal drive for my new mac pro exclusively for the purpose of installing windows and playing pc games via BootCamp. Questions: Which drive will work best for this?(looking for 500GB or less) and which version of Windows will be more reliable and perform best (XPpro, XPhome, Vista) in my system? Thanks!!

    Hi:
    I just had exactly the same situation- I looked at different hard drives and bought the Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS from Buy.com for about $78.00. Incidentally when you look at the prices of these products , the range is very tight- just $9 get you an additional 140 gigs and the black series is much faster than the SEII series for only a slight increase in cost. The drive is fast and quiet.
    I tried using boot camp to install Vista ultimate and got a series of formatting error messages, then pulled out my mac OS drive, installed Vista without any trouble at all, then installed the drivers to be used with the mac pro and boot camp for windows. Works great so far. Then I reinstalled the mac os hard drive and now can boot into windows or mac. The 64 bit version of vista ultimate is very fast on the mac pro (2008 version).

  • Windows 8.1 Driver Installation Order G510

    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone could tell me the proper order in which to install the Drivers for Windows 8.1
    Im using Lenovo G510 ( i5 4200M, Switchable Graphics Intel HD 4600 & AMD Radeon HD 8570M)
    My current order is:
    1. Intel Chipset
    2. Intel Rapid Storage
    3. Intel Management Engine
    4. Intel Video
    5. AMD Video
    6. Audio
    7. Lan
    8. Realtek Card Reader
    9. WLAN
    10. Touchpad
    11. Bluetooth
    12. Camera ( Not applicable because Windows 8 & 8.1 Already have that, installation says no capable hardware found)
    13. Lenovo Energy Management ( Currently using G510s Touch's because mine doesn't have a windows 8.1 version)
    I have experienced that even when I have installed the latest drivers ( Realek card reader in particular), Windows still shows a message in action center to install the latest drivers.
    Dell had an official post on installing order of drivers. I want to if it is different from Lenovo.
    I feel like Lenovo Energy Management and Realtek card reader drivers should be installed right after INTEL Chipset.
    Feedback?

    Unlike Dell, Lenovo doesn't really have anything documented on the order in which to install the drivers after a clean install of the operation system.  Unless one of the moderators know of an obscure listing somewhere.  Unfortunately, the documentation for your model is further limited as it only lists the use of the recovery disks which isn't helpful in your situation. 
    When I do a clean install I tend to rank the driver installation in order of importance.  First installing the drivers that are needed for the basic operating of the machine and from there move on to the lesser important peripherals.  From the looks of your list, it would appear you have done just that and that would be the order I would use.  
    In regards to the Windows Action Center Message, there is quite possibly an newer driver version available on the Windows Update website.  After your installation of the drivers I would visit the website and review their list for any driver updates.  I would then select just those for download and install.  Once all the drivers are up to date then I would revisit the website for the other OS updates they have to offer.

  • "No bootable device ..." Trying install Windows (Flashdrive + Optical drive install)

    I tried to install Windows 8 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit on a seperat partition on My MacBook Pro 2011 15" using Boot Camp-assistant on Mountain Lion.
    I got some errors like when rebooting and trying to enter the install-disk it says: "No bootable device ..."
    I have already tried solutions with different flashdrives it did not work for me. I also tried with a optical drive - Windows 7 DVD install-disk - which also did not work for me.
    It has worked for me before some time ago but that time I had Lion or SnowLeorpard on my Mac.
    I don't know if there is a bug or something like that in the new OS - Mountain Lion?
    Thanks.
    For more details about my error go to: Mac How To : Bootcamp Windows Partition Problem

    I found the SOLUTION to my problem on this post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15940863#15940863
    The problem is that you have to use a certain DVD-drive(dual layer) to install/boot Windows and since my MacBook Pro's internal DVD-drive does not work I have used an external DVD-drive which is much likely causing the problem. Therefore the only solution (in my case) is to use a proper DVD-drive(from Apple) or repair the internal drive.
