Tecra S2: BIOS 1.3 is not compatible with Windows Vista

i just bought Windows Vist Ultimate and i tried to install it on my tecra S3 notebook and it said that i had to upgrade my bios. so i did upgrade to latest version found on the toshiba website (v1.3) but i got the same message please provide a bios upgrade which is vista compatible for my notebook or provide where i can find thge update.

Hi
The Toshiba driver site says the BIOS 1.3 for Tecra S2 was released on 19/06/2006
It seems its not a final Vista release and therefore its not compatible with Vista.
Unfortunately, everything looks like you have to wait with the Vista installation till the new BIOS version is released.

Captivate is not compatible with Windows Vista RTM

I can confirm that Captivate 2 is not compatible with Windows
Vista (RTM Final MSDN). I have been testing it on several systems
with various versions of Vista. It had partial success with RC2,
but with RTM it crashes quite frequently (when vista is drawing new
windows). I can't tell however if captivate is directly responsible
or if it is perhaps an incompatible version of Flash (current using
latest version 9 beta) that is to blame. However, since Vista is at
RTM then I would say that it is now the responsibility of Adobe to
fix the compatibility issues with a new update. Technically vista
is not due to domestic market until january 07, however businesses
will be able to purchase vista in only two weeks, and as Captivate
is generally used for business/training use i would certainly think
that it should be of high importance that these issues are
resolved.
Can anyone else comment on their experiences with Captivate
and Vista?

Hi cptv8
I appreciate your taking the time to report back your
findings about Vista. Perhaps it will be helpful to those that are
early adopters.
You stated:

You have a valid point. However, you are making it in the
wrong venue. How? Well, Adobe doesn't normally make it a habit of
visiting the peer-to-peer support forums. This means users
supporting users. If you are concerned that Adobe is aware of this
issue, you should really consider using a different channel. The
Wish Form. And you can easily get there by simply
clicking
here.
Now I don't claim to be a guru of anything in particular, but
it seems to me that businesses are very slow to adopt things. They
tend to take a very pragmatic and slow approach. Many are just now
making the leap to XP! So I'm guessing that Vista will be slow to
gain ground. I'm also confident that the Captivate team is well
aware of the Vista issues and will be addressing them as best they
can.

Tecra M5 BIOS not compatible with Windows Vista

Hi, I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft and it reported that the BIOS on my Tecra M5 was not compatible with Vista and to contact Toshiba. I am currently running version 1.7 - the latest available I think. Is Toshiba going to release a version that will be Vista compatible, or a fix so that I can run Vista on my M5?
I forgot to mention that the machine is a UK M5 (PTM51E)
Many thanks,
David

David,
That's not the case. Whatever the results of the software advisor that you have run, you can install VISTA ok on your Tecra M5 PTM51E portable but obviously subject to you having purchased the license (full version or upgrade) from a local supplier, however, you will have to carry out a new (clean) installation of VISTA which means you would have to wipe your hard disk drive in the process. Obviously, making sure that you backup all of your data first to another system (or to external media) and be aware of the software that may/may not run correctly under VISTA before starting the process.
There's a new M5 BIOS released for your M5 which would then upgrade your existing 1.7 BIOS to the latest version.
The standard 512mb Tecra M5's run VISTA very well. No Toshiba software is available, however, maybe this will be released over time so you can adjust power settings and utilities as you can now under XPP.
After installing and registering/activating VISTA you will be prompted to install various updates (including an updated graphics driver and some patches.) Take these options and then your portable should work better. That said, even the standard VISTA installation works fine (AERO support appears to be improved on the new version plus it looks slightly more optimised and also runs a little quicker.)
If you are familiar with your portable, IT aware, and unsure of wiping your existing system totally, then you could also purchase a additional internal Toshiba SATA HDD kit for the Tecra M5 in order to try VISTA in the short time. Another internal 80gb/100gb HDD would give you the capability to try VISTA without losing all or your XP software and software/networking configurations, enabling you to move back to XPP should you have any (none-Microsoft) software or antivirus software issues stopping you from working after your installation of VISTA. I appreciate that there are costs associated but this would allow you to switch between XP and VISTA more easily (than wiping your current system, installing VISTA and then going back to XPP should any problems occur, not to mention the time savings that this could introduce !)
With VISTA, just take >>GREAT CARE<< with your software. Many (none- Microsoft) software applications have some issue(s) with VISTA because it is new. So, this may mean that you may have to purchase a software update in order to ensure that you have 100% compatibility with your favourite applications (or have to replace your existing software versions entirely with new ones.)

WRT54G not compatible with Windows Vista?

When I used to have Windows XP I found connecting to the router simple, and reliable. However I just got a new computer with Windows Vista, and for some reason I can't seem to install the router anymore. I tried inserting the Linksys CD and I followed all of the directions and it goes to check the router's status it brings up a page that tells me to right click my internet connections or something and my computer still doesn't find the router but connects to Realtek or something a long those lines. Thanks for any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As you have got internet connection on your computer...you can try adjusting the wireless settings on your router...so that other laptops can connect to your router wirelessly....
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Adobe Acrobat 5.0 not compatible with Windows Vista

On installing this software on my new Windows Vista, incompatibility message says I need to install kernel-mode print driver. Where can I get this from. No luck with the Adobe website technical support!

Then you will need to purchase an upgrade to the current version 8.1.
Note that Acrobat Standard would be a downgrade; to retain all your
current features you'd need Acrobat Professional.
Note that there was no product called Acrobat Writer, if you want to
be exact. And you would normally have only one of "Acrobat" and
"Acrobat Reader". To make it even more confusing, "Acrobat Reader" was
renamed "Adobe Reader".

Is Flash Player 11 just not compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit?

When I installed the latest version of Flash, I lost the ability to view You Tube videos for more than the first 3 or 4 seconds. Today I went to the adobe site thinking I needed a new flash player, and got this message:
Note:Flash Player does not support 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista. Flash Player 11 now includes support for Windows 7 64-bit.
Seriously? So I have to scrap my computer or get Windows 7 in order to use Flash?
I am not a techy, so I have resisted coming to the forums and getting a response I don't know what to do with. If you have an answer for this, I would really REALLY appreciate it if you can translate it into language for the lay person.
It isn't just You Tube videos, either. So many news and other items are now done in video instead of an article, and I am finding that I am not able to get information I am looking for because of this.
Please help!

What this means is the following: the 64-bit version of Flash Player will install fine on Vista 64-bit, but Adobe will not provide support if it does not work as expected.
In fact, Adobe will not provide any support for any Flash Player on any platform, except here in this forum.
I suggest that you
uninstall your current Flash Player using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
install the 64-bit Flash Player with the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment
Good luck!

ITines is not compatible with Windows Vista Ultimate

I tried 3 times to install (re-install) iTunes 7.3 so I could activate my iPhone. iTunes kept returning a message to uninstall and re-install iTunes, since some unknown piece of software was needed to recognize the iPhone. When will Apple fix this problem? I had to use an older WindowsXP machine to successfully activate the iPhone.

Yes, I went through this too. I have Ultimate 64bit (came installed on my new HP Laptop - most of the new laptops are coming this way.
I finally took my iPhone back, because the as the gal at the Apple store told me, they will never support 64 bit Windows OS.
However I did read a post here that future versions of iTunes were expected to correct this. I sure hope so.
Anyone know if the new iTunes 7.3.1 corrects or now allows for activation or synching with Vista 64 bit???

Adobe is not Compatible with Vista? or not compatible with 64bit Vista?

From reading through some of the threads here, I am still a
bit confused. Is Captivate 4 not compatible with Windows Vista at
all? Or just not supposedly compatible with 64bit Vista?
Has anyone tried to do a software simulation recording of the
start button, or start menu, or any control panel windows? It
doesn't register a click at all! It will not record a frame!
This is rediculous Adobe. You had, what... 2 years almost? to
develop Captivate 4? And you can't even make it Vista compaitble?
I suppose you'll drop Captivate 5 in 6 months and make
everyone pay $400 for an upgrade just so they can record anything
in Vista? This had better be a high priority update. As it stands
right now, I have to do full motion recording. If I want to do
that, I will use Camtasia!!!
Please give me an answer or a workaround.... Someone..
Anyone.
I am using 64bit and it works fine if recording within an IE
window. All editing, recording, etc functions work fine. I have
tried to do this on a 32 bit version as well with no luck
(recording start menu / button/ control panel windows/etc)
Thank you.

Captivate 3 and 4 work fine on 32-bit Vista. Neither is fully
compatible
with 64-bit Vista, so far as I know, but you should be able
to get results
by running in 32-bit compatibility mode.

Creative Zen Micro Not compatible with Windows Vi

My daughter has a Creative Zen Micro MP3 player, no video feature, just the the music player. She recently got a new computer that runs Windows Vista. She tried to install the program on her new computer, and it said the software was not compatible with Windows Vista. Does that mean I need to get new software from Creative Zen? to use the program on The computer running?Windows Vista? Any help would be appreciated..

The software that came on the original CD is not supported on vista.
The Zen Micro will work nati'vely with Vista if it contains the latest firmware version. If the Zen Micro isn't being recognized by Vista then you will need to use an older system (windows xp) to upgrade the firmware on the Zen Micro. Once Vista recognizes the Zen Micro you should be able to download Vista compatable versions of the software for the device from the creative website.

Is Dreamweaver compatible with Windows Vista?

No matter what I do I can't insert text into Dreamweaver. I'm
beginning to think Dreamweaver is not compatible with Windows
Vista. I can type text into it but I can't write a document in
another program then insert it into a DW page. It just won't do
anything at all. I've watched about 4 videos on this and read many
things on Dreamweaver help and can't find it. I think it might be
easier to learn html than Dreamweaver. I can't find any good
Dreamweaver tutorials, even in Lynda.com. They all teach as if you
already know most of the program.

Where are you copying the text FROM? Which app?

HP DVD1260I not compatible with windows 8.1

Recently i bought HP DVD1260I dvd burner, it works fine at first. I have windows 8.1 PC, recently I noticed my Dvd drive is not shown in windows explorer as well as in device mananger, but the dvd drive is shown in BIOS. To check my dvd is working or not, i have booted with linux cd, it works fine. Now, it shows that the dvd drive is not compatible with windows 8.1 (recent updates may cause this issue). Could anybody help?

Hi Jero,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
There are some issues with the upgrade - even if your system came with Windows 8.1, there are a bunch of HP products that are not updated yet for the new 8.1 environment. It is a pain, but the truth is that some things take more time than others. I do not work for HP, by the way, this is just my personal opinion.
Disclaimer: I am not running Windows 8.1 at this writing; I have some issues with the way in which 8.1 will treat some of my favorite setups... I am not ready to commit to the discomfort. Smiling.
You do have to be on the latest SimplePass to have a chance at all for this to work.
It appears that you are aware of the native Windows 8.1 fingerpring login service - this is a good thing.
I do not know personally if the fingerprinter, native or not, will work with that new "feature" of Windows 8.1 that wants us all to log in with our Microsoft password.
I did find a fix for Windows Live Login: Quick Tip: Change to a local account in Windows 8.1
If you can get your system set back to a local login and then make sure you are running the latest HP Simplepass, things may fall into place.
Latest HP SimplePass (at writing) is linked in the following file:
SkyDrive >> look for and open the file named:
Simple Instructions to Upgrade HP SimplePass
I hope something here helps!
Click the Kudos Star!
It is a great “Thank You” for the HP Experts who are here to help!

Latest version of firefox program is not compatible with windows 7

After I updated the latest version of mozilla firefox in my laptop which is a windows 7 program,it doesn't work anymore. Every time I open the firefox, the screen goes black and I can't see anything on the screen but black. And when I troubleshoot and fix the problem, it says that "COLOR SCHEMES IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 7". Program compatibility is the 1.5 version or 1.0. How to fix this one? I uninstalled and already installed a new one but still to no avail the problem is still the same. Should I install the older version? Where to download the older version? It seems that in mozilla firefox website, only the latest version or the 3.0 version is available.

hello Gracerilla, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
