  • Want VGA drivers for Satellite A100-033 under Vista Home Basic

    I have a Satellite A100-033 which runs Windows Vista Home Basic. The main video driver is an Intel 945 chipset. However, I want to install an ordinary VGA driver. This is because I have some software which needs full screen mode. The Intel chipset won't allow this, but the VGA video driver does. Until now I have been able to access the VGA driver on my laptop, via personalise/ displaysettings/ monitor/, which would let me select a VGA driver from a list of device drivers which was presented to me. However, this option has been removed from the list of options. How can I find the VGA driver on my laptop, and/or download another one?

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused. I dont know exactly what you want to do but the graphic card driver can be updated and install via device manager.
    Access simply the device manager, select the graphic card and install or update the graphic driver.
    Some graphic drivers cannot be installed automatically. In such case you should install it manually.
    That means you should assign the graphic card driver source manually.

  • Accessing my windows pc from home on my Mac pro

    Hi,
    I have a new mac pro and have worked out how to connect to works VPN. However I am now stuck. I want to be able to access my work pc (windows) from home (mac). I know how to do this using windows to windows, but would be grateful to know how to do this from a my mac at home to windows pc at work via the vpn.
    When I say access my work PC, I mean I would like to be able to have a window on my home mac that shows my work desktop and then access files, applications etc as if I was sitting in front of it in the office.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Fantastic! many thanks for the info. Im so close I can almost smell it
    I am connected to the works vpn and have entered my works computer name in RDC, however when I click connect I get the "the client could not connect to the computer". I have read some destructions regarding putting the domain name in after the computer name etc. However I have no domain name, just a work server address. I have even tried adding the vpn on demand domains to see if that helps but it doesnt. Have I missed something? Is there another step I need to do as its via a vpn?
    Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  • Can I access work's windows network from home mac?

    Can I use my Mac G4 running OS X Tiger to remote connect to my work pc running XP?

    Theoretically, yes. However, this depends on how your firm has set up its network. For example, if they have implemented a VPN. You should contact your network administrator to discuss the issue. Some companies prohibit such access for security reasons.
    Good luck!

  • Blue Screen Error for Windows 7 Home Basic 64 Bit

    I have a Sony Vaio E Series with WINDOWS 7 64bit home basic preinstalled. It worked perfectly fine for 2 yrs until last month, I needed to replace the hard drive due to bad sectors. Now, after a month of replacing my hard drive fresh from
    Sony Center, I decided to do a dual boot (install another OS - Windows 8.1 pro) on a separate partition. Everything is averagely fine. But 2 nights ago, I encounter a blue screen error for WIN 7 (my pre installed one). It happened the second time, so I started
    it in safe mode and did a system restore. I don't know if it will prevent future occurence of blue screen, but to make sure, I reinstall my factory default drivers using Vaio CARE... Pls help.
    PS: I have not encountered BLUE SCREEN error in Windows 8.1 yet. Is it OS specific? Here's the error the second time, it happened on my Windows 7:

    Hi Garibaldi11,
    If you are not equipped to debug this problem, you should use some basic troubleshooting techniques.
    •Make sure you have enough disk space.
    •If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
    •Try changing video adapters.
    •Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates.
    •Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.

  • Satellite L850 - after 1 year of usage battery runs out quickly

    Hi, through programs such as care or BatteryBar battery battery I see a Toshiba Satellite L850 *battery wear from 48%* currently. I notice that playing a game the battery runs out quickly, as the warm up by a lot, and often descalibra and behaves erratically.
    The laptop is a year old. Is it normal for the battery to wear so much in so little time?
    Would you accept a guarantee or battery replacement can claim wear caused by misuse?
    http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6976/4f7k.jpg

    First of all you have to know that battery working time depends on the notebook usage.
    Running heavy performance applications like a game would discharge the battery much quickly. Why? Because parts like GPU and CPU and cooling modules run at highest performance and this needs power.
    Also using the notebook with highest display brightness would discharge the battery faster.
    You should also know that every battery would start to loose own performance after about 500 charging cycles. This is nothing unusual and will happen to all batteries.
    To avoid or to slow down this process, its recommended to calibrate the battery from time to time.
    Calibrating means charging and discharging the battery fully.
    Charge the battery until it would be fully charged, then disconnect the AC adaptor and keep the battery discharging until its fully empty. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times in the row.

  • Satellite L300 - Upgrade from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium issues

    Hi all,
    I just recently got a Satellite L300 with an OEM version of Vista Home Basic.
    I have a copy of Windows Vista: Home Premium (upgrade) disc and decided to use it on the laptop.
    I put the disc in, and followed the steps however the upgrade option is blanked out... This is if I use the product key provided with the disc or not.
    The laptop came with Service Pack 1 already installed and the disc I own was released into the shops before Service Pack 1.
    My main question really is how can I get my disc to upgrade my version of Vista. I have tried searching Google, this website, Microsoft's website and I keep getting the same answer.
    Basically go through options and do anytime upgrade. All of these are for me to buy from Microsoft which would be kind of pointless as I already have a copy.
    I did read something at on a site that stated my disc would have to have the service pack on the disk and I seen a website with some kind of disc editing program for Vista but im not too keen on using it and the 'how to' wasn't very easy to understand.
    Also, im not too keen on calling either Toshiba or Microsoft on premium rate numbers for help with something I have already bought and paid for and should be as simple as a few steps.
    Anyway hope someone can help because I would really like to upgrade.

    Hello
    I understand you and it is really annoying but what to do now? the fact is that Toshiba has offered this notebook with certain Vista version. This version must be offered with best and latest available Microsoft security updates. Due to this Toshiba offers it with latest SP1 option.
    So now you try to install update offered long time ago and probably offered before SP1 was on the market. I understand your point of view but, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with Toshiba now, and you should try to find solution with Microsoft. For example you can also pick up info from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930733
    Clean Vista Home Premium can be installed without any problems. All drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba support & download page.

  • Windows Vista Home basic drivers for internet

    How do I get drivers for Windows Vista Home basic edition to work with Windows vista on my mac. Can't connect to internet on vista.

    Hi,
    for the obvious:
    After the Vista installation, did you install the Apple drivers from the OSX Leopard Installation DVD ?
    If not, boot into Vista and insert the OSX Installation DVD that came with your iMac.
    The Driver Setup usually starts automatically.
    All drivers needed are on that DVD.

  • Windows Vista Home Basic: Disc burner or software not found..

    Need some help please!?
    I have searched sites across that internet in hopes to find a solution to this problem. I hope someone can help.
    I have an acer running windows home basic. I have recently installed iTunes (its the best!!). I went to burn a disc and when I click the button at the bottom of the screen, it says "disc burner or software nout found"..
    For some reason, I thought it was my Daemon tools virtual CD emulator, uninstalled that, still having the same problem..
    HELP!?

    +The error message isn't exactly the usual one, I wonder if you have another issue such as Daemon tools, iTunes doesn't like virtual drives.+
    Hi p. Just a possible heads up on distinguishing the 64-bit thing from the Daemon tools thing. With earlier "Disk Burner not found" messages related to missing the 64-bit drivers (on a 64-bit system), the error codes in the DVD/CD diagnostics next to the affected drives typically used to be 2380, and 2355. (rather than the 2510 that seemed to be associated with the Daemon Tools SPTD driver thing on 32-bit systems that could produce a "Disk Burner not found".)
    I'm well out of date with troubleshooting this on recent versions (7.4.x or above), though,

  • Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit

    I'm looking at the customisable configurations, and I see that you offer 8GB RAM but that a 64-bit system is required to support it. At the same time, the only option that explicity says it's 64-bit is the Business edition of Vista, which I definitely do not need. Is there any way to specify an order with Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
    Yes, I know what I'm talking about and I need the power, but none of the administrative nonsense associated with the Business addition. From Wikipedia:
    "Similar to Windows XP Home Edition, Home Basic targets budget-conscious users not requiring advanced media support for home use. ... Home Basic supports one physical CPU, but with multiple cores. 64-bit Home Basic supports up to 8 GB of RAM. ... Comparable to Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows Vista Business Edition targets the business market. It includes all the features of Home Basic with the exception of Parental Controls and the Windows Vista Standard theme. This edition can join and participate in a Windows Server domain. It includes Internet Information Services, fax support, Rights Management Services client, Encrypting File System, system image backup and recovery, Offline Files, a single user Remote Desktop server, ad-hoc P2P collaboration capabilities, Shadow Copy support which provides access to previous versions of files, support for Tablet PCs, and other business oriented management features. The Vista Business edition supports up to two physical CPUs. 64-bit Business supports 128 GB of RAM."
    I'm looking at a configuration with a high-power, dual-core processor and 8GB RAM with the 2GB disk cache on top of that for, among other things, high-volume, intense audio processing. None of the extras associated with Business are things I need, but I do need a 64-bit system to utilise 8GB RAM. Frankly, I just really don't want to have to pay $79 simply for the RAM support, I don't want to deal with it through Microsoft, and although the basic edition is apparently not eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade, I can cross that bridge when I come to it.
    My questions:
    If I'm configuring a machine with >3GB installed memory, will it by default be configured with the 64-bit version of the edition of Windows I've selected?
    If so, will there be a cost difference? There is no cost difference between the listed 32- and 64-bit versions of the Business edition.
    If not, is there any way to make this simple change on my order? Does Levono even ship Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Okay, good to know. I still need to know whether I can get Levono to ship my machine with the configuration I've selected, only with Vista Basic 64-bit
    SInce Lenovo don't offer either type of Vista Home in a X64 version, the answer is quite simply, no.

    what would be most cost-effective would also be appreciated.
    Sweating on the OS cost when you are planning to put an expensive 8 GB of RAM into a system seems to be quite cost-ineffective IMO!

  • Product Name: HP Pavilion g6-2006tx Notebook PC... Require a recovery disk for Windows 7 Home Basic

    Sir,
    The recovery disk that was prepared for my Laptop has been corrupted and is not functioning. The laptop shows an error message as 'BOOTMGR.EXE is missing'. Whenever I use the disk, it starts off well but it stops after 13% of the installation is done. There is no recovery partition in my laptop as it was deleted after the recovery disk was burned.
    All this started when I wished to format my Laptop and reinstall the operating system.
    I donot wish to install any operating system other than my original supported WINDOWS 7 HOME BASIC. So, if you could send me a recovery disk of the same, it will be very helpful. Any other details required shall be provided.
    Your hasty attitude in this matter would be highly appreciated.

  • How to get Installation Media for Windows 7 Home Basic?

    I Have a Lenovo G470 laptop which previously came with Genuine Windows 7 Home Basic. But Once My OS was corrupted and I take my laptop to Lenovo Service Center, they installed Windows 7 Home Premium In my laptop. I never faced any Activation Issue after that.
    Few days ago my laptop was again corrupted and I Downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium ISO and burned it in a DVD and had a clean installation in my laptop, but this time Activation Issue occurred. I tried to get help from Microsoft technical support, they told me to ask for Installation media from Lenovo. When I contacted Lenovo technical support they told me that they do not provide any installation media. They charge a amount of 850 and also formats all data on HDD.
    How they Succeed to activate Windows 7 Home Premium OS in a Windows 7 Home Basic base laptop without any Activation Issues.
    Why Lenovo Don't Provide Installation Media when I am having a Valid Product Key?

  • Satellite L850-1HP unable to configure downloaded Windows Update files

    My laptop had issues from day one which were first the CD-ROM not opening, then the webcam and microphone turning off forever and not being able to be turned on again ever, and last but not least, this summer, my laptop would not connect to any WIFI network at all, it wouldn't even find one.
    I went to the place where I bought it for support, they sent it for repairs, a week later, I get it back, it's been restored back to factory settings, everything seemed fine, CD ROM functional.. webcam and microphone too.
    So I thought I'd check around and start tyding things up to my liking, then I realise that I need to download some updates from Windows Update, so I do, about 100+ updates needed, I start downloading them, but they don't download up until the 20th minute that it's stuck at 0%, which seemed shifty to me, because then it just jumped up to like 10% and progressed forward.
    After downloading the updates, or so it said that it had, I restart the laptop in order to get them working and configured properly.
    It didn't. After I clicked restart, it started shutting down, saying that it's configuring and at about 20-30% it rebooted, then it loaded up the same screen saying that it's configuring updates, then it says it failed and says that it's restoring data back to normal, which it never freaking does.
    After about two hours of waiting for it to do anything at all, I reboot the PC, same stuff.
    Reboot again but this time I restore things to factory settings once more, takes me about 1hr again with a complete wipe of data (of course the OS stays and toshiba apps too), set everything up, name and stuff, accept terms and conditions, blah blah, OS starts up, I check everything and restart.
    After the restart, I decide to not configure anything until I've downloaded all the windows updates, so I do just that, BUT, I get the same error again, shifty-slow download of updates, restart and get the same message that it cannot configure updates, and the forever-long wait for the laptop to "restore" data back to normal, which it hasn't done, again.
    I'm completely clueless as to what I should do, I've restored factory settings once more but this time I'll just wait for some feedback or try to do whatever I find on these forums that is useful.
    Please help.
