Satellite Pro M70: Shoudl I uninstall old drivers before installing the new?

I downloaded the "INF update utility", chipset software for my Sat Pro M70 for windows vista, but am not sure if I have to uninstall the old driver before installing the new one.

You do not have to uninstall the old one.

Do I need to uninstall the old Firefox before installing the new version?

I really don't have any problems with Firefox, just trying to find out if it is necessary to uninstall Firefox 4, before installing the new version?

no, in fact, it's better to update it instead of installing the new one separately so that you don't loose your bookmarks and such.
To update, open firefox and go to Help and chose About Firefox. you should see an update button there.

Do I need to remove old drivers before installing new ones (Windows XP)

I have an Acer Aspire 3690 laptop with Windows XP home edition installed. I've reinstalled the OS by using recovery tool, updated it again. I want to finish setting my laptop up by updating some drivers, mainly chipset and GPU. I've already found that newer ones are availabe. But do I need remove the old drivers first to avoid any problems in the future? Or do I just run the setup executable of every driver?

Run the setup and check if the new one are installed; if not remove the old drivers and install the new.

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version?

I have an academic version of Final Cut Studio on my laptop and recently purchased the most recent Full version of Final Cut Studio. Do I need to uninstall the academic version before installing the new version? I ask because this is not an upgrade, but a completely new version.

I'm with Jim on this. It always seems to work out better if you do not install over another version. You can use this app (freeware - thanks to Jon Chappel) to completely remove ALL Final Cut Studio apps and components: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
Once that's done, install your newly purchased version.

Do I need to uninstall pages '08 before installing the newest version?

I bought a new MacPro in November 2013 and the technician transferred my iLife 'o8 package with Pages in it.
Can I install the newest Pages and Numbers over the existing ones, or do I need to uninstall the old ones first?
Can't seem to find a straight answer on the internet.
Thanks for a quick yes or no! If it's a 'yes', do you know how, or have a link that says how?

The deal is I want the pages in my iPad mini to talk with the pages version on the laptop. That's the only reason I even want it since I usually use Microsoft Office, which talks to my windows friends with more ease.
Just in case anyone else is reads this thread, I just discovered that in the app store that when I clicked on 'purchases' there was a section that said I could download pages, numbers, and keynote for free. I was ready to purchase them individually. Saved from my own folly at the last minute...
Thanks again Fruhulda - if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found the free stuff.

Consume old material before ordering the new one

Hello
Is there anything in SAP that would allow me to finish the stock of an old material before placing orders on the new material?
For example: A is replaced by B.
I have 10 A.
I would like, if I put B in my BOM, that it finishes to consume A before ordering B.
I don't want to use substitute since it's on the A->B way and it's based on a validity date. I would prefer to use B->A.
Thanks a lot for your inputs.
Regards.

Rsaini144, Jeyakanthan A thanks for your answers!
Actually I would like the requirement from part B consuming A until there is no stock and then place an order to the supplier.
Basicly I'll have the part A replaced by part B in my bill of material. I would like to put some parameter on B to allow MRP to: first supply from A and then source from supplier if there is no A anymore.
I'm sorry if this is what you explained, but I'm not a pro of SAP.

Do you uninstall old verison before installing new Version of Java

I have read on Suns website you should keep older versions installed due to some pages will need it to view properly. I have read many different opinions some say keep them installed and others say remove them.
What is the right answer?
This is my current version from the Console Screen
Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.2_01
Using JRE version 1.4.2_01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
This information is from the about screen
Java 2 platform standard edition
Version 1.4.2_01 (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
I have Windows XP Media Center 2005 Edition (SP2) Intel P4 3.4 GHz, 2GB ram
Please advise

I keep most of my installations, but it's enough to keep one of each major version. I.e one 1.4, one 1.5, and so on.

My Firefox will not pull up, even after I uninstalled the old version and installed the new version. What is wrong with it? It only had this problem recently.

I am having problems getting Firfox to open. I have unistalled the 14. version and then installed the 15. version hoping that it would fix the problem. It didn't. I have even tried restarting the computer, which also did not solve the problem. I know it is not the computer, because all other applications open properly, except this one. I would like to know what is going on and the problem to be fixed please.

I need help I can't get my computer to recognize my ipod nano 7th....going through all the steps...NOT HELPING LOL

Backup with iTunes. If iTunes is asking you if you want to backup, say yes to that and it will backup your iPad. Have you ever synced with this computer before?
My boilerplate response for anyone that wants to update the iOS.
What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

Re: Satellite Pro M70 - High CPU Usage - Low Performance

I sincerely hope someone can help. I do not consider myself really computer illiterate, but this is where my understanding ends and I would truly value all help offered.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 of 2 yrs old and I am a definite advocate for Toshiba. However, my operating system is slow. Average day usage with Internet Explorer and Office 2007 is a painstaking process that takes too long. I have had conflicts with Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, which works perfectly.
But starting up the computer takes ages. CPU usage is usually high and System Idle Processes as well. I have reinstalled Windows XP from the Toshiba Boot DVD already 4 times with starting fresh and installing everything time and time again. Each time after getting everything up to speed again, the performance is disappointing.
I have extended RAM to 1,49 GB which made little difference from the original 1/3 of RAM. It seems that something is slowing down the computer, but this is not visable in the processes; other than quite a few svhost.exe processes that take little processing capacity nor CPU usage.
I have used Windows Gold Certified Uniblue Power Suite with a good registry cleaner. This helps a bit, but after a couple of days it seems to get only worse. I have an Intel Pentium M 1.73 GHz processor. Research online reveals that Trend Micro IS 2008 is quite good and demanding little capacity in comparison to competing security packages.
Is this system/software related or could this be a hardware issue?
Thanks in advance to all!

Hi!
This definitively not a hardware issue and I think should try to optimize some Windows settings to make your notebook faster.
At first you should clean the start up folder. Remove all programs that you dont need at start up. For example I dont have programs in the start up folder.
Furthermore you can customize the start up programs in msconfig (start => run => msconfig). There you can disable more programs that you dont need. Its your choice what do disable or enable.
You can improve the performance if you defragment your HDD from time time.
Remove all programs and trial software that you dont need and after this clean the registry. You can use CCleaner as Jimi said.
Try an other antivirus program. Maybe TrendMicro is not full compatible to the software that you use. I use AntiVir.
Bye

Satellite Pro M70-273: Functionality of the Express Media Player feature

I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70-273 "Limited Edition" (?) two weeks ago. The model number is PSM76E-00J00QDU, model name SPM76, production date 2006-02-21. According to the specifications I found in the online user's manual or in a folder with publication references
"TEG October 2005, Art. N0. DSSSPM70 10/05NLBE", there is an "Express Media Feature" "on some selected models" ...
It is not clear if yes or no, the model I bought has it. I have a "CD/DVD Button" that I use to launch my built-in dvd player (e.g. WinDVD), but this does not work as specified as "a standalone disc drive" that plays a dvd (film) without needing to startup Windows.
To watch the dvd film, after using the CD/DVD button, I have to boot into Windows, login into Windows XP and when the desktop is started, the WinDVD screen will show the film.
This is not what I'm expecting from a standalone dvd player. My old notebook has a "dj function" with which one can play a cd without booting into Windows, (or powering up the notebook), just by pressing a special key on the front . How about the promised feature of the Toshiba Satellite Pro?
Is there an "Express Media Player" functionality at all? How can I check if the feature is provided? I used the setup provided, the first time I used my notebook. I don't wish to use the recovery cd rom provided unless it might be absolutely indispensable to install this missing feature.

John
With the laptop you should have received a restore/recovery disc. This contains utilities to either replace individual drivers and tools, plus a complete 'image' of the base build that your laptop has when it is built at the factory
Although I have never used this, it is supposed to completely wipe all data and setings from ythe laptop by first formatting the hard drive then reinstalling the operating system and applications back to factory settings. From comments elsewhere on this forum one of the few options you can have when you do this is to choose to partition the hard drive into 2 sections, one for the Express Media player, the other for the operating system etc. (as the Express Media operates without booting into the operating system).
The process is designed to be user friendly as it guides you through it, but as I said it does wipe EVERYTHING you have on the laptop currently, which is why I never bothered after I realised it wasn't installed. By the sounds of it though it won't be too much hassle for you to do that as you have data/settings you can easily transfer afterwards (Win XP has a tool to help with this)
The Gigastore hub I have found very good, and likewise the Gigastore hard drive, although others have posted here about their laptops not 'seeing' the hard drive in certain conditions

Satellite Pro M70-220 - how to start Advanced Boot Menu

What key must I press on my Satellite Pro M70-220 during startup of Win XP, in order to get into the "Advanced Start Menu" - that is, the menu that gives various boot options, such as Safe Mode, Last Good Startup Congiguration, Normal Windows Startup, etc. ?
On my old Satellite 5105-S702 laptop it was the F8 key, but pressing the F8 key on my Pro M70 does not appear to bring up the "Advanced Start Menu".
The Advanced Start Menu came up on its own a couple days ago, after an abnormal shutdown, so it would appear that it does exist on the Pro M70.
Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.
AlanCB

Hi
The Advanced Boot Menu can be reached pressing the F8 button.
Its a Windows based menu and its no matter what notebook it is.
It should work on all computers.
Maybe you cannot enable the Advanced Boot Menu because the Windows OS is muddled up.

Satellite Pro M70 overheats and powers off

Need some tech support with this problem.
Satellite Pro M70 constant over heating problem. After 20-30 minutes of normal use (web browsing etc) the bottom of the laptop gets really hot near the fan, unbearably hot to the touch.
If I play any games or do anything cpu intensive, it will eventually smell of burning and power off.
All this time the CPU fan never spins! Just lets it get hotter and hotter. Strange thing is, when you first boot up, the CPU fan spins for about 5-6 seconds so it works! Already tried cleaning it, wasn't particularly dirty, the fan isnt jammed, it spins if u blow on it.....
Tried updating to latest BIOS still overheats.....
Tried all the toshiba utils for cpu temp monitoring etc, they indicate the CPU getting hotter and hotter well over 60C + but none of them (or other 3rd party utils) will detect the fan....!
Any fix for this or is it just bad fan / temp sensor design?

Hello smurftech_1
I had the somewhat the same problem with my Satellite M70 (PSM76E-00500K-AS) after three years of usage (it's now just over 4 years old).
In desperation I brought it to the official Toshiba maintenance workshop and a technician squirted air into the vent at the left-hand side of the laptop (using a simple little rubber bellows operated by a finger and thumb) and the problem was solved!
The chap didn't even need to blow air into the vent underneath the laptop (where I saw today that dust had collected).
No expensive repairs were needed. My only cost was in time and fuel getting to the workshop.
Quite simply, dust had accumulated in the vent and was blocking the circulation of air, so the laptop was quickly overheateding and shutting itself down. It was a dreadfully awkward problem at the time.
I hope this solves the problem.
Best wishes,
"Mannix".

Integrated WLAN not detected on my Satellite Pro M70

Hi,
My M70 laptop recently crashed and I reinstalled using a windows xp disk. I'm now trying to install the missing drivers starting with the WLAN but it doesn't appear to even be detected. There is a "Network Controller" in device manager thats missing the driver so I was thinking that may be it. I've tried the first intel Pro driver from the website but it didnt make any difference.
What do I need to do?
Thanks

The Satellite Pro M70 PSM75E seems to be equipped with the Intel 11b/g WLan card.
The WLan driver could be found here on the Toshiba WLan portal:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
The LAN card chip seems to be from Realtek and the driver already exists on the Toshiba driver page.

Satellite Pro M70 - What is the Bluetooth module part number

Could someone who has a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70, with bluetooth, tell me the part number of the bluetooth module please?
You can reed it from one of the labels under your notebook. You can read bluetooth in it, the part number is in the up left side of the label, and it will be something like this: PA3418U-BTM.
Thanks.

Hi
Why you dont make a call to the authorized service partner in your country and would order an compatible BT module for your notebook?
In my opinion this would be the easiest way to get one.
Unfortunately Im not owner of Sat Pro M70 and therefore I dont know the BT part number. But my A210 has been equipped with an internal BT module and the part number is PA3608U-1BTM
