Satellite U500-11G - Can't activate upgrade to Windows 7

Really sorry about this, but with new Satellite U500-11G cannot activate the upgrade to Windows 7. Keep being told on entering serial number that it was origonally installed with Vista, but no info on how to activate.
Any help out there please?

Hi
Have you used a Microsoft disk to upgrade to Windows 7? As MisterX wrote normally the preinstalled OS is always activated and I can confirm this. I never had to activate my copy of Windows.
If you use the Windows 7 upgrade kit from Toshiba you dont have to activate your version.

Satellite U500-10N - Can I install Windows XP?

Hello,
I have bought Satellite U500-10N and it has Vista but I want to install XP, is it possible?
My plan is to back up all my files, and then put installation CD of XP, delete all files of Vista and record fresh new copy of XP. And then install all nessesery drivers for my laptop to functional normal? Is it possible? :\ I
'm afraid if I install XP than some function on my laptop will not work.
I'm looking for help, plz if anyone know something i will be grateful

Hi
Theoretically you can install Windows XP, why not? ;)
But I dont understand why you want to use such an old operating system. I mean the Satellite U500 is really fast enough for Vista and in few days Windows 7 is the present. You should be happy with your preinstalled Vista version that should run well.
The point is that Toshiba doesnt offer drivers for U500 and XP so you have to collect all drivers yourself on the Internet that takes a lot of time. Furthermore I think some special functions like the FN keys will not work because there you can only get a driver from Toshiba.
Its your choice what you do but I would wait for Windows 7 if you dont like Vista Satellite U500 should also support Windows 7.

Satellite A135-S2276 - can't find drivers for Windows XP

Hi! I can't find drivers for windows XP to this notebook. Do anyone know where I can find it?

Hi stalker (what a crazy nic)

Did you take a look on the Toshiba US website???

Where can I find the Oracle 11g R2 binaries to upgrade on Windows Server

Hi all,
I m currently testing external components with Windows Server and I want to test Oracle 11g R2.
The only resource I have is this website and the only binaries seem to be for Linux OS.
Does anybody know how I can upgrade my Oracle 11.1.0.7 version to the R2 release?
Thanks,
Bertrand

That is the complete and official documentation, found at tahiti.oracle.com

Satellite L675D: Blue Screen error after upgrading to Windows 8

Hello,
I've recently upgraded my Toshiba laptop to Windows 8 and every time I use it, after 5-10 minutes, I get a blue screen page of error and the laptop restarts.
The problem is really annoying.
I've discovered that if I don't plug in the battery charger, the laptop works normally, but I'd like to solve the problem properly.
What should I do?

> I've installed Windows 8 Pro with a regular activation key: I had Windows 7 before and I simply updated it to Windows 8. >I don't know about the drivers.. I think that may be the problem, but I also reckon the drivers are ok! Do you know a good way to check it out? Or where I can find the proper drivers?
Windows 8 drivers for Satellite L675D dont exist on Toshiba EU driver page. The L675D series does not support Windows 8.
However, even if the drivers are not available and Windows 8 is not supported, it should not be a big problem to run this system on the Satellite L675D.
You said that you simply updated the Win 7 to Win 8.
Maybe you should try a clean installation of Windows 8?
I think its worth a try in case its an software problem.
By the way: I assume this kind of problem did not appear using Windows 7. Right?

Installing CS2 so I can install cs4 upgrade on windows 7

I just got a new pc has windows 7 pro OS and need to install my adobe CS. I have CS2 with a CS4 upgrade. As you can probably guess i am having trouble getting the cs to install. I would like to upgrade to cs 5.5 but if I cant get the cs 2 on to upgrade to cs 4 I doubt i can get a cs5.5 upgrade installed! I have tried installing cs2 a couple times and keep getting the serial number screen. When I uninstalled it I had to deactivate it so it would seem that it was acttive just unusable. I will try running the cs4 uopgrade in thje AM but was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a waste of my time or is there actually a way to get this installed and working properly. any help is greatly appreciated.
Keith

I bought it from Adobe. Full upgrade price. It was about 3 years ago -
about. I wanted a backup in case Freehand tanked. Kept using FHmx and
forgot I even had CS4. So FHmx tanked Friday and I can't get it to show
the toolbars. So, I'll install CS4 and work all weekend on this rush
job. I'm on a Mac. OsX.6.8. Also on Aleve until I get this solved!

Satellite U400D - Where can I get drivers for Windows XP?

Hello,
Could you please send me weblinks to Windows XP drivers for satellite U400D? It took ages and i didn't find any of them!!
Thanks a lot, i am getting desperade

Hi
The Satellite U400D supports only Vista 32bit and Vista64 because on the Toshiba driver download page I can only find drivers for these Windows versions.
So you should be happy with the preinstalled OS because U400D is fast enough for Windows Vista. It should work really well with Vista.
If you want pretty old Windows XP you have to collect the drivers yourself. Here are some exaples where you can search for drivers:

Satellite U500 (PSU9ME) - I'm looking for the Windows 7 display driver

I'm looking for the video card driver U500 PSU9ME. My operating system Windows 7 32Bit
Please help me ..

OFC my INF won't work because it is for nVidia g210m. You need to add Hardware ID of your display adapter, that can be found in Device manager, to the INF and try again, replace my PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0A74&SUBSYS_FF401179 with yours, other modifications + new drivers for 310m could be required.
I still don't understand why you installed x86 version of windows when laptop came with x64 with all drivers on it, and all of them can be downloaded from toshiba site.
Install Windows 7 x64 and you won't have these problems. Other option is Windows XP x86 if you NEED 32 bit OS, and I can't see why...

Satellite A500 - Missing programs after upgrade to Windows 7

Hi,
I have Satellite A500 - 134,
When I was upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7, I had to remove some programs as the upgrade advisor mentioned.
Now I miss those programs after installing Windows 7:
# Toshiba Tempro
# Toshiba ConfigFree
# Toshiba Disc Creator
Also, "FN" button doesn't work anymore (it was working on Vista), so I can't activate any feature when I press FN + (some F# buttons like F2).
So, what can I do about this?

Hi
Did you use the Windows 7 upgrade kit from Toshiba? This kit contains also an Utilities that must be used to due installation process and as mentioned in manual.
Anyway, you can get the tools on the Toshiba page now:

For the FN buttons you have to install Toshiba Value Added Package.

System control panel malfunctioning after upgrade to windows 7 professional

I have an issue I just bought with my recently purchased Toshiba satellite P755-S5390. I had upgraded to windows 7 professional. Now the the system control panel is malfunctioning and I lost one USB bay. This included the switch to turn on and off wifi. After consulting with my some co-workers I have concluded that it is a hardware issue, but I find myself in a bit of a pickle. I didn't’t create a recovery disk for the laptop's original operating system and one was not provided. Is there any way I can get the system control panel function back to its factory settings so I can turn my wifi switch back on. With out having to purchase a restore disk from Toshiba.

The cheaper and easier thing to do is to consider purchasing the Recovery disks from Toshiba because alternatives can be time consuming and expensive in media.
Most of the newer Toshiba laptops do not include Recovery disks. So Toshiba gives you two options to run the Recovery. One is to create the Recovery disks using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator program. You'll find the program under Toshiba or Toshiba Utilities in the Program lists. The other way to run the Recovery is to turn on the computer while holding down the '0' (zero) key. This will activate a program in a hidden partition on the hard drive to send the computer back to it's out-of-the-box configuration. You can try this with your current operating system. It will give you a couple different opportunities to back out of running the Recovery before the process begins. The advantage of going back to the out-of-the-box configuration is that the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator program will be created again and you'll be able to create the Recovery disks as many times as you'd like. The bad news is that running the Recovery software will wipe out EVERYTHING on the computer, including programs, files, pictures and music.
What you can do is back up all of your programs and files and run the Recovery using the hidden hard drive partition. Create the Recovery disks and then restore all of your programs and files again. But this is a lot of work and like I said,it might be cheaper and easier just to buy the disks.

how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier. The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

Can't activate my iPhone3GS after upgrading to IOS6

After upgrading the IOS from iTunes I can't activate it.
"Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes".
I've connected my iPhone to my Macbook Air and iTunes says: " There is no SIM card in the iPhone you are attempting to activate." But I have an AT&T SIM card inside, what's happening?
I've tried this many times over the course of a few days and even went to the Apple store, but they could not help me. Instead they suggested that I apply for a
developer's ID ... or something like that, for which I would need to pay.
Why didn't Apple spell all this out when it asked us to upgrade our iPhone when we connected it through iTunes?
I am very upset as I need a phone and I've had to buy a new phone!
Can someone pleae help me? I just want to be able to use my old phone again. Is that too much to ask?

I don't know, it was given to me. I was using a Galaxy S. How do I check?
