Satellite L755 freezes on Windows home page

My Satellite L755 sometimes freezes at start up. It gets to windows home page then nothing works. I click start and nothing happens. No icons work. I have to hold down the off button to turn off and then re-start. I then have no problem. This is happening more often.
I have updated BIOS as per Toshiba advise.

Which OS do you use?
Do you use original OS that you got with your notebook?
On this virtual way it is not easy to say what is wrong there. Your OS configuration is not known to us and we dont know which applications start with OS at start-up.
If the problem happen again and again maybe you should install OS again using original Toshiba recovery image and start to use notebook with "factory settings" again.

Update Your Firefox to latest version of Firefox 17.0.1
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''

Satellite U500 - Freezes after Windows 7 upgrade

Hi
I am trying to upgrade from Vista home premium 64bit to Windows 7 home premium 64bit on a U500-119.
After the activation process was completed, I started Windows 7, but the Desktop screen did'nt appear and my U500 froze the "welcome" message. I could reboot Windows 7 in repair mode, but I cannot find which sw component prevents Windows 7 to start and work in normal mode. Did I used the wrong installation option, automated process instead of the personnalised one?
What should I do, restore Vista from HDD recovery, and re-install Windows 7, this time using the perconnalised mode?

Hey
To be honest I also dont know which software are driver is causing this freezes but can you start the notebook in safe mode?
Furthermore its not possible to use the HDD recovery anymore because you installed another OS. In this case you need the Toshiba recovery disk to restore Windows Vista.

Satellite L850D - freezing in Windows 8.1

I'm having trouble with my Satellite L850D.
The system will freeze for 30seconds to 5 minutes before it recovers or restarts ( restarts around 10% of the time).
This system originally shipped with windows 8. Restoring system solved the problem but when windows 8.1 upgrade was reinstalled the problem returned. I have attempted to update all drivers but have been unable to find a solution.
The problem does not occur during game play or during active movie playback but will occur if a movie is paused. Most frequently it occurs when using writing software or web browsers ( Tried Firefox, IE and Chrome with similar results).
Any help would be appreciated.
Restoring did not improve the problem once 8.1 was reinstalled so I'm not sure what to try next.

Hi
Before we start discussion about your problem I would like to know if you have updated your OS following instructions described on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

Satellite A105 freezes after windows xp is loaded

I have a Satellite A105- S4074.
The operating system will load then freezes.
I have tried safe mode and ran error check and defrag. I tried sys config and when system is loaded, then freezes.
I was able last week to load system and have internet connection. But it froze again the next day.
I cannot get consistent performance. I have windows xp media center. I recently upgraded ram to 4 GB.
What are my options? I lost the original restore disks.
I am willing to reformat the hard drive if necessary.

When you install extra RAM, its important to test the stability of the new RAM to avoid BSOD's and data corruption / loss.
New RAM can be incompatible or unstable in some systems, or can simply be faulty out of the box.
Test the RAM for errors. You can use the free Memtest utility:
1) Go to http://www.memtest.org/#downiso and download the "Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)"
2) Open the ZIP file and extract the ISO file to a temporary folder.
3) Burn the ISO to a blank CD using an "Image-to-Disc" or "Bootable CD" project in your CD/DVD burning software (dont use a normal Data Project).
4) Insert the Memtest CD into your laptop and turn it on, press F12 to launch the boot menu, and select "CD".

Cannot View Database Home Page After Upgrading to XE 3.2 on Windows XP

Hi all,
I have recently upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 3.2 on my Oracle 10g XE database running on Windows XP SP3.
Unfortunately after successfully completing the upgrade and starting the services when I try and visit the Start -> All Programs -> Oracle Database 10g Express Edition -> Go To Oracle Database Home Page I am receiving a page cannot be found error (or broken link message, depending on the browser I try IE7, Firefox 3.0.10 or Chrome 2.0).
The link I am being directed to is:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex (I have an entry in my Hosts file referring this to localhost).
How can I tell if Port 8080 is still open and accessible? I am using the embedded web pl/sql gateway and tried reconfiguring it again by running apxconf.sql as SYS:
SQL> @apxconf.sql

8080

I've backed out the 3.2 upgrade and reinstalled and receieved the same issue. The next step is to unistall the XE database and reinstall, but I'm loathed to do that without seeking some responses from this Forum.
Many thanks.

Hello Roel,
Thank you taking the time to reply.
I had previously tried all those url combinations and still no luck.
I also found out about displaying the HTTP port number. And you were right it was listening on the default 8080. I disabled it and re-enabled it on port 9080 to see if that made a difference but it didn't so I decided to remoce Oracle XE database and go through the reinstallation and subsequent upgarde to APEX 3.2. Everything appera sto be working fime now.
One point of note is that if I view the Listener status now I notice another line from what I had previously referring to the HTTP listener, although my listener.ora file never changed (apart from having the TNS Listener port resuming to the default 1521).

Can anyone answer why this may have been omitted previously? Presumably this is why my browser couldn't render anything from APEX.

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

After opening a new tab, when I click on my home page (the house icon), it duplicates and opens a second window...it's never done this before?

I just installed Firefox on a new laptop. Google is my home page. My opening tab is always Google. But, when I open a New Tab, it doesn't open in Google. So, I've always clicked on the house icon to take me straight to Google. Now when I do, TWO tabs open in Google. (it duplicates)

I tried all of the above, I've reinstalled Firefox and I've checked if value set to 3 in browser.link.open_newwindow which it is, but the problem still happens.
Regarding what you say re what is written in the article Tab preferences and settings, I understand what this means. However I am using FireFox in my work. I have a CRM where I constantly click on a button that automatically opens my order system on a new tab, or email templates in a new tab etc. The tab opens next to the tab I am currently on. However ever since I was prompted to Refresh Firefox earlier, it now opens these in a new window. Therefore the size of these pages has nothing to do with it, as this was not a problem before.
This is irritating, as no I have to go from one window to another, and where I have multiple tabs open it is making my life difficult.
Not happy!

There's a black space at the top of my window, and when I open the browser, my home page comes up but the address line is blank. How do I fix this?

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select Menu Bar and Navigation ToolBar -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache, Site Preferences''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''"Permanent Private Browsing mode"''' -> place CHECKMARKS on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
-> '''REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES'''
-> '''When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

How do I open a new FireFox browser window to the home page and url filled?

win 7 64-bit, firefox 5 open new window no url. When I have firefox open and open a new browser window, the new window does not open on the home page and no url is present in the address field. If I click on the favicon in the address field, the url of the current page will automatically fill in. The forward and backward arrow buttons remain disabled. In addition, links opened in a new window cause a new browser window to open, but the linked to website is not displayed in the new windows. What is displayed is a new window completely blank with no url in the address bar. I tried to include troubleshooting information by clicking on the copy to clipboard, but apparently the character count was exceeded.

I disabled all plug-ins and extensions. the problem has been resolved. Now I will enable each one individually to find out which one was the offender.

That is a bug, so you need to wait until this get fixed.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links
(please do not comment in bug reports)

In Safari I can define what pages are loaded when I open a "New Window". How do I achieve the same in Firefox (and supress the current begavior of it opening all of the tabs that I defined as my home page all the time)?

I am returning to Firefox after having used Safari on Mac for the past year. One thing I liked about Safari was that I could define what page gets loaded when I used the File Menu command to open a new Browser Window. I defined this as opening up with my Bookmarks Menu where I then was able to select the page I wanted to go to.
I have not been able to find a way to define this in Firefox and was surprised to see that "New Window" in Firefox opens all of tabs that I've defined as my Home Page.
Is there a way to manage this?

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
