Tecra A7 - Presentation button under Vista Business

Hi!
I have a Tecra A7 with Windows Vista 32 installed. Also all Toshiba specific drivers and tools are installed.
The Tecra A 7 has two special buttons, one of them is the presentation button, which swiched should put the output to a extrnal monitor. Whenever I press the button, it starts Windows media player.
How can I reconfigure the button, so that I can switch between internal display and external monitor, like th FN+F5 does?

To be honest I don't have this notebook model and cannot say for sure how Vista configured but this notebook model is is 3 years old and at this time delivered with WXP.
It is nice that Toshiba supports it for Vista 32-bit too. I hope you have installed all Toshiba stuff from download page.
If you cannot use this presentation button you can use FN+F5 key combination when external monitor is connected to your Tecra notebook. Value Added Package contains the tool for this function.
Toshiba Assist is also available for Windows Vista but not offered for your Tecra.

Now tell me how you managed to get a PCI card into one of the others.
This may seem a silly mistake, but it's one i imagine that others may make and i would have thought the experts would have been able to identify it earlier.
That part I can believe. Also known as PEBKAC.
i would have thought the experts would have been able to identify it earlier.
And how is anyone supposed to be able to identify that if the can't see it.

Volume button not working with Vista Business

Anybody knows what Toshiba Software should i install to be able to use the volume button in Vista Business? I have a Qosmio G20-102. Thank you.

Hi
Are you not able change the sound volume level in Vista???
The problem is that only some single Vista drivers were published for Qosmio G20 and not all functions can be used.
But dont give up Andrej!!! There is a hope!!! Thanks to the all forum users who post proposals for solutions!!!
I found this very long but interesting and useful posting about Vista installation on Qosmio G20.
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=20494
The user FranciscoJr is a Vista+Qosnio G20 guru ;)
One hint; some of the items of Toshiba Value added package for the G30 can be installed on G20.
Install only the checked items. In other way you will have conflicts with windows mobility center.
Good luck

Installing Palm Desktop 6.2 on Vista Business: only installs Media and Install, no Cal, Contacts

I attempted to install Palm Desktop 6.2 under Vista Business on top of Palm Desktop 6.2 beta. I selected a complete install. After the installation and the device sync, only the Media and Install sub-applications were available on the desktop (though all were still available on the handset). No Calendar, no Memos, no Contacts, nothing.
I subsequently re-installed (twice), each time removing the Palm Desktop software completely (from the control panel). Same result. Is there some trick to this I need to know?
Thanks.

Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Thanks, I very much appreciate the help. But why does this happen? I mean, after I tried it,
I figured, okay, maybe if I change the security permissions no the executable so that my id
has full control... But no. I did that (also changed the permissions on the link), but when I
bring it up under my account without running it as Admin, it still brings up only the media
portions of the Desktop. Then I went through c:\Program\Files\Palm and gave full control
permissions to my id for every executable I found in the top level directory. Still no joy.
I do appreciate the help -- it certainly beats not being able to access my calendar at all --
but I'm afraid I have to call this more of a workaround than a fix. For one thing, I'd like very
much to be able to access my calendar from a userid on this machine that does not have
Administrative privileges. Any chance for a fix at any point in the future?
Thanks again!

Enhanced USB Port Replicator under Vista with blank taskbar

I have an annoying bug where the vista taskbar goes blank under Vista. I'm running an X300 with the Enhanced USB Port Replicator attached to an external monitor. I have set the external monitor as the primary monitor. With this configuration, the taskbar usually goes blank -- i.e. the taskbar shows nothing except a window frame and the start button. There are no applications shown, no quicklaunch icons, no tooltray icons... nothing. The taskbar is still functioning correctly, and it will show thumbnails of open applications, or allow you to click on any items that are there but not displayed. Any idea why this bug is there or how to fix it.
I found it really annoying and problematic till I found an quick workaround... unlock the taskbar and stretch it out and it will begin displaying properly again.

I have an X301 running Vista Business. The 2 second freezes are really annoying.
Has anyone tried the displaylink driver http://www.displaylink.com/downloads.html to see if it helps?

Can I upgrade Vista Home Basic to Vista Business using Boot Camp & Fusion

I have installed Vista Home Basic 32-bit through Boot Camp partition and am running this through Fusion 1.1. I need Fusion's capability of running Windows at the same time as my Leopard. Presently, this OS is running smoothly as are my peripherals, including my LAN networked printer. However,
I am told by VMware Fusion email tech support that they do not support Vista Home Basic. They would support a number of other Windows OSs including Vista Business which I can readily afford, or Vista Ultimate which would be much more difficult monetarily.
I am concerned that I will need Fusion's tech support in the future and thus am willing to do the upgrade to Vista Business or Ultimate if I have to. I have been informed that Home Basic is FAT32 but Business is NTFS; that FAT32 is Apple readable and writable, but NTFS is only readable. I am a newbie and don't know what that means.
It appears from what I can understand on MS Windows support forum topics that Ultimate is more compatible with Home Basic. Could someone with technical expertise please help advise which way is best to go with this, and if I have to, which upgrade to choose; and, how to go about installing without messing up what is already working.
I'd really appreciate help with this as I have over a month trying to get this right and have had to communicate with tech support of various companies, do several complete deletions of partitions and reinstalls of various OSs and other software needed to accommodate my PC needs. My frustration level is really high at this point. Thanks to whomever is wiling to help this struggling newbie.

Thank you, The Hatter, for answering so quickly.
You asked about my needs. I use Apple OS capable Word to create documents, but often need data from a PC-only CD that was loaded on my Toshiba laptop for these documents which I share with others via email attachment sometimes from PC side and sometimes from Apple side depending on whether I still have things to add to the file and of course need to print from PC side also. That's why Fusion's side-by-side and drag and drop capabilities are perfect for me (I actually used to try to email the document to myself and go to my Toshiba to retrieve it, complete the document and email back, but MS Outlook often failed to operate.) I also receive from a friend, sound files created in PC format that I previously used Roxio to burn to CD. (Haven't gotten this running yet, apparently info I saw online about which Roxio v. would work with VHome Basic was wrong).
When I am traveling and away for 2-3 weeks, I need to have everything on one laptop so I gave up my iMac w/Tiger v10.4, which I loved, for a new Macbook Pro to get the duo core, with a 23" Cinema Display. After reading Apple discussion forum and talking to Apple Sales, decided to get Fusion to run both OS simultaneously (this part works beautifully). I need to be able to print from the PCVM (which I've finally resolved).
RE XP: In my conversations with Fusion tech supp. I was given instructions to load my XP Pro directly in VM w/o Boot Camp, telling me BC was unnecessary because Fusion could do partitioning and everything else necessary, so I scrapped everything and tried to do a new install, but their detailed instructions wouldn't allow installation. When I emailed them of the problem, they didn't reply. I really needed to get my PCVM up and running so went back to scrubbing everything and beginning again using Boot Camp and Vista Home. If there is a way to use use my XP upgrade with or without BC, I'd be happy to, but don't know how to go about it. I ordered Vista Bus. full on a special promo online for $127 but it hasn't arrived yet, so I believe I could return it if I don't need it. Will I need to scrap everything again and start over, or can I install the XP Pro upgrade with where I am now? Will the Vista capable application software be able to work with XP? How do I check whether my current partition is NTFS? What is MacFUSE, do I need it, and if so where can I get it? Is it expensive? I've really over-extended having to purchase things I believed I needed to proceed.
I also have a Seagate 500 firewire for backing up my Leopard using Time Machine. Boot Camp partitioned the 500 for Leopard and PC using FAT32, but Seagate TS tells me that I can't use both OSs and that's why I can't see the PC partition in the Fusion desk top. Fusion TS tells me that I can't use FAT32 to back up Vista. Stymied again! So, I just found a Seagate 300 Free Agent to back up the PC side if I need to I have 13 days to decide.
Suggestions...instructions?
Again, thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I'm really grateful. I have tried to keep notes on what I've done and how, but I've scrapped everything and redone things so many times, I'm just confused at this point.

Hp officejet pro 8000 a809 installed locally on vista business with driver 8.12.2008cant share to xp

My customer has a HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 installed locally on Vista Business with driver 8.12.2008 He wants to share this for use on the XP PC but after installation on XP and trying to go into printer properties the message comes up "The HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809 Series' printer driver is not installed on this computer. etc etc Do you want to install the driver now? It doesnt matter if you go through the installation process or not, when you try and print a test page you get "Test page failed to print. Would you like to troubleshoot etc"
I have tried installing the XP drivers locally AND on the Vista PC but with no luck. On the shared tab under "additional drivers" there are only Vista drivers listed.
Any advice gratefully received.

Depending on the model of the unit it may not be wireless. if it says A809n then it is a wireless model, but the A809a model is not. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01659070.pdf Here is the manual for that unit in case you need it.

Vista Business 64-bit on ALL Macs with Bootcamp 2.1

*With the latest Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows Vista 64, can ALL Macs (shipping as of May 2008) run Windows Vista Business 64-bit* (Business version is preferred for professional CAD applications)?
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bootcampupdate21forwindowsvista64.html
More particularly, all new Penryn 64-bits Macs such as iMacs, and not only the Mac Pro and MacBook Pro lines. Ref.: Apple refreshes iMac line, now up to 3.06GHz: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/04/28/applequietly_refreshes_imac_line_now_up_to_306ghz.html
*Also, can we confirm that OEM versions are not supported, like I read on some discussions?*
Thanks,
Message was edited by: brun

What is the hardware difference between an iMac and a Mac Pro that prevents that? Is it purely an Apple restriction effort to Pro user base (investment of staff to produce the compatibility through drivers) and not a hardware restriction? An iMac runs on a Penryn chip, a 64-bit platform, therefore perhaps only the drivers would fix this apparent issue.
It still appears that some users were able to do it, re: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1534484&start=0&tstart=0
The install disk would not even boot or Visa 64-bit would install, but not reboot under Vista?
I am reading that it is really a burden to install an OEM version.

External Monitor with Bootcamp (and Windows Vista Business)

It looks like this has been discussed quite a bit already, but as a computer neophyte I've had a hard time deciphering an answer that applies to my unique circumstance. So apologies if some of you've already been over this.
Anyway, here's my question/problem:
My second monitor (Gateway HD2250) doesn't work when I'm using Bootcamp (Windows Vista Business). I'm running a VGA cord from the Gateway monitor to a VGA adapter that's plugged in to the back of my Mac. My computer's a late '06 iMac w/ Mac OS X 10.5.5. BTW, my virtual Windows does seem to register the second monitor; it's just that nothing shows up on the Gateway screen.
Ideas for help? Thanks everyone!!

I managed to get an upgrade version of XP to run by using the internal DVD drive for the main all disc and an external DVD drive for my qualifying disc. Has to be that way round because the Apple keyboard ceases to function for a while and the required USB windows keyboard dosen't have an eject button. The whole business was very painful however, trying to get the installer restarts to select the correct drive each time.

If I am remembering correctly, some changes were necessary in order to make this work with 10.1.2.3. So, if you are using the old jar which you used in previous versions, I would recommend obtaining the one specifically updated for 10.1.2.3. Refer back to the OTN page which has the download and choose the link that references the new version:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/techlisting10gR2.html
Be sure to clear the client Jar cache before re-testing. This is not the same as the browser cache.

T30 Windows Vista Business IE8 Questions

I have a few questions concering Lenovo Laptop, Windows 2000, XP and Vista. I thoght maybe I would post the questions here and see what kind of answers I can obtain.
1. I have three Lenovo laptops one is a t23 and 2 are T30. On the 23 I have windows 2000 with IE 6, on the one t30 I have XP with IE 7, and on the last one I have Vista with IE 8. With IE6 and IE7 when I go to the drivers matrix there is the button for auto detect system. But that button does not come up on IE 8. Can someone tell me why or what to look for? Is this a vista issue or an IE 8 issue?
2. Now again I am not sure where the problem resides but if I type in the T30 part number XXXX-XXX into the block on the lenovo site useing IE6 or IE7 the correct details come up. 2.2Ghz processor and all the other details. However if I type in the same exact number in IE8, now it comes up as a 2.0Ghz processor and some of the other details are different. I am thinking it is either IE 8 or Vista Business. Not sure. I know when I type it in on the Vista machine a different box comes up with the option to continue or cancell.
3. This is more of a driver issue but I dont see on the drivers matrix a driver for my wireless card for Vista. I see one for 98, one for XP, 2000, and OS2 but dont see one for vista. It is a factory install wireless I know that becase the driver if I install XP on the machine from the lenovo site works well. So do I have to go to Cisco or what?
Thanks for any and all info. Have a great weekend.

The Cisco wireless card used in T30 is not supported by Vista or W7. You'll have to move to a newer card, or revert back to XP which would be my suggestion. ThinkPads of that vintage are best utilized with XP at least in my opinion. There is no support for graphics card either.
Good luck.

ISight to run in MSN (Windows Vista Business via Parallels)

Hi guys !
I'm a MAC newbee and as I need to run some Windows applications I have installed Windows Vista Business via Parallels.
Everything works just fine - except for the iSight web-cam when running MSN. I have installed the AppleiSight drivers from the Leopard DVD into the Windows Vista and I did get it running once. But since then the iSight won't start if running MSN. The iSight works perfectly in PhotoBoot, iChat and so on, so there's no problem with the actual HW.
If I try ro re-install the drivers it seems they're already installed, still my MSN doesn't find any cam connected.
I read somewhere that I might need to make the iSight camera "available" to Windows, but I haven't been able to figure out where that might be - if that is really the case... ??!! So if anyone can point me in the right direction here it would be just awesome...
THANKS !!!

I am having trouble getting the isight to work with aMSN messenger. When the video comes up, I can see myself in the screen viewing box, but the person I am messaging cannot. I am aware that MSN is a microsoft program and therefore might not work with apple. aMSN says that my isight is firewalled or blocked by a router and that I need port forwarding. I was wondering if there is any way around this or if anyone knows the numbers involved for the port forwarding?
"If you are unable to view a webcam in aMSN after a contact has send you an invite, or after you have issued the command to receive/send webcam, and you are behind a router, you may need to follow these steps:
If you receive: IP-Restrict-NAT and you receive false in webcam wizard, that means your connection is firewalled. (does not send the IP)
If this is the case, you will need to open some ports for the webcam to use because they are currently blocked.
To do this, open your router web-based configuration (check router manual for details on this). Once you have the web-based configuration open, browse for a setting called "port forwarding" or "port range forwarding" or something similar to that. (This might be found under the advanced features for your router).
Now that you have the port forwarding page open, you will want to set the port forwarding range so that aMSN will be able to accept and send the webcam stream.
Here's an example of how you will set up your port forwarding:
Application: aMSN
Start: 6890
End: 6900
Protocol: Both(TCP & UDP)
IP: xxx.xxx.x.xxx
Enabled: X (Yes/True)
Note: xxx.xxx.x.xxx is the IP of your machine that you are trying to send / receive webcam
If you have a web server open on your port 80, you can try to disable it too, sometimes it helps."

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Saw an earlier post which suggested the following:
I would try deleting the intellisync folder and then trying to sync again. This may or may not help. Below are the instructions:
Close the BlackBerry Desktop Manager application.
Disconnect the BlackBerry device from the computer.
Double Click on My Computer> Local Disk (c>Documents and Settings>(username)>Application Data>Research In Motion>Blackberry>Intellisync
Note: If the Application Data folder is not present, click Tools>Folder Options at the top of the screen.
Click the View Tab, then click on Show Hidden Files and Folders.
Click Apply>Ok and continue through the remaining steps.
Delete everything within the Intellisync folder.
Launch BlackBerry Desktop Manager and attempt sync the device with the computer.
I have done this and sync seems to be working (for now anyway) - give it a go!
