Toshiba Dock or Topbar or whatever it is called on Vista Home Premium Sattelite model P205-S6267

I've a Toshiba Sattelite P205-S6267 running Vista Home Premium (OEM).
When I first bought it, there was something similar to the Windows Sidebar but it was at the top of my screen. I know it's not the actual Vista Sidebar becase it was originally along the top of my screen and my pokeing around indicates Vista Sidebar doesn't do that. Furthermore, it had all these white icons for assorted Toshiba utilities for managing hardware and configuring stuff.
At some point, I must have removed it. I have all the CD's and other materials. How do I restore the Toshiba Topbar or what ever it is called?

Those are Toshiba's Hot Key Cards, also known as Flash Cards. See Appendix A of the Satellite P200/P205 Series User's Guide.
You may have turned it off. On the Start menu, it's at Programs > Toshiba > Utilities > Settings for Flash Cards.
Or you may need to reinstall this utility.

Buy a Toshiba Vista Home Premium recovery disk, or buy Windows 7?

I just bought a used Satellite L355D-S7810, but without any of the original disks. The laptop originally had Vista Home Premium 32 bit (and it has the COA sticker for it). I won't go into a long story. Suffice it to say I had to wipe the hard drive. I installed XP because I already had the software, but trying to get all the drivers has turned into a real pain. So, I am considering two options:
1. Order a Toshiba recovery disc so I can "recover" back to Vista home Premium (32 bit). Cost: ~$30
2. Buy Windows 7 (64-bit). Cost: ~$180 (For a full version)
Cost-wise, it's a no-brainer. However, I've never used Vista or "7". Seems I've heard a lot of complaints about Vista. Which is easier to work with? Or, I should ask, which would give the best performance on my Toshiba laptop?
Thanks

Jerry,
Thanks for replying. I worked on the XP install for hours! After I got the NIC driver installed, I was able to download most of the other device drivers through the Windows Update web site, and things were going pretty well until I downloaded and installed about 67 "critical" Windows updates. Big mistake. After that, the laptop would not boot at all. I'd see the start-up screen with the Toshiba logo, then it would go to a completely black (although backlit) screen with a blinking "cursor" (really an underscore) in the upper left-hand corner. After just 3 or 4 beeps... nothing. Just a black screen. Nothing else. No hard drive activity. Nothing. I rebooted multiple times to no avail. I couldn't even get into safe mode. Finally I tried a Windows XP "repair". After the repair I could get as far as the Windows logo screen, but then I'd get a blue screen with a long error that went by so fast I couldn't read it. I have no idea what happened. I think you are right. I'll just get the recovery disc and hope it has all the right software.
Thanks,
Chuck

You may have to follow the slightly more detailed steps in whichever of these two applies to you.

Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267 - DVD Burner unable to read DVDs only CDs

Hi,
Trying to reinstall Vista on my Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267 laptop but the optical drive will not read any DVDs at all only CDs. So I'm unable to install Vista which is only on DVD but WinXP on CD is detected and installs OK except for XP driver issues which makes loading XP useless. I have been at this problem for few days scouring various internet forums which mostly speak to the registry issue with lower and upper filters. But if I can't get the OS installed then those solutions don't apply to me. I need help. Anyone..anyone???

Satellite P205-S6267
You're in luck!
Your model belongs to part-number family PSPB0U, which corresponds to part-number family PSPB0E for computers made in Europe.
Go to the European download site and look up the Satellite P200 with Short Model No. PSPB0E.
When you filter on Windows XP, you'll find 36 items listed.

Random BSOD - Toshiba Qosmio X500 13R (Windows 7 Home Premium x64) have min

I've been having some problems with random BSODs on my laptop.
The laptop itself is fairly new,bought in March this year,really good model but refently I started having problems.
One day I closed the laptop and thinking it went into sleep mode but a few hours later when I opened it a BSOD stared me in the face,the processor part was pretty hot so I immediately restarted it to lower the temperature,but I remember that the BSOD had something about "Kernel Power" written on it.
It happend 3-4 times since then,the third time it happened I enabled minidump logging so now I also have the log from the last time it happened,can anyone take a look at it and tell me what is going on and how to fix it??
I still have a guarantee on this baby so I can get it fixed for free if it's a hardware issue, still I have some important work to do this week (already almost lost a crucial project file on this) so I want to try and fix it myself for now,until I get this project done.
Thanks!!!

The BSOD can be caused by software of hardware issue.
You can check if new OS installation would solve this if its software issue then a fresh OS installation is the right workaround. Before starting a OS installation, backup the data ;)
But of course the issue could be related to hardware; for example high temperature.
You said that you have noticed higher temperature while happening.
So maybe the memory modules are affected by higher temperature and this leads to BSOD. In most cases clogged fans are reason for that. Check if dust and debris needs to be removed you can remove dust using compressed air spray.
But if this does not help, I would recommend checking the hardware under warranty conditions

MX Includes (or whatever they are called after the take-over) search engines friendly urls - what am

Hi
I have a set-up with PHP, Apache (mod-rewrite enabled), using "MX includes" and I'm trying get it to work with "/whatever" instead of "mod=whatever" having removed the "mod" from the server behavior. In the database (includes from table) I have added a / before the url.
But it just does not work. When calling e.g. index.php/news nothing is returned.
What could I be doing wrong?
Regards,
Tom

Computer operation 101.
Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:

If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

My Toshiba P200 DVD/CDROM devices has stopped working (code 39) since I updated with Vista SP2.

Can you roll back OS to earlier time before you installed SP2?
Does drive works properly again?

Not all docking station/speaker say that they support answering incomming calls? Is it a function of the iPhone4 or of rhe docking station/speaker?

I need to buy a new MB for college! I'm thinking of getting a 13" MBA w/ the external DVD/CDROM drive and portable/external/whatever it's called memory. Where should I buy, Best Buy or Apple Store?

So basically a BB employee told me that instead of giving me the apple giftcard (one that would given to me for the back-to-school deal at apple) they would discount that off. Also, she says that their insurance policy (instead of apple care) would replace my macbook "then and there" if anything were to happen to it. Sounds too good to be true since I've had MANY MANY troubles with BB when I bought my first and only white MB 4 years ago. They were horrible. But she said the policy has changed since then and that people come in to exchange MBs daily. Can anyone help me! :3 Thank you <3
ALSO, (sorry for being a pain) is the MBA a good choice if I'm getting an external/portable hardrive as well as a DVD/CD-ROM drive? I need a MB for college stuff: writing papers, projects, presentations, other general college stuff. MBA doesn't have moving parts, which is a huge plus since I am not careful with my things, and will probably drop my MB a million times.

MacBook Air is a perfect choice for a college student. I have used a MBA as my only machine for several years now and am a professional in the advertising industry. I write a lot, do some (little) graphics work, code, and create presentations and videos. It's more than capable.
I have an external CDRW/DVDRW but I got mine from Amazon it's not Apple-branded. It works great but was a fraction of the cost. Also if you buy the Air from Amazon you can get free shipping and pay no sales tax, which may come out to less than getting the educational discount. However, if you qualify for both the $100 gift card and the educational discount you'll probably come out better getting it at Apple.
Here's the top of the line Air at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00746YD24/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=beley-20&camp=0&creati ve=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B00746YD24&adid=0PNV1Q2S073PY61NZQZX&

The tools drop down menu does not have the options "button?" or whatever it is called. So, how do I get it back or better yet... where is it? 14.1.0 mac

I am on a Mac. I am running Firefox 14.0.1 In the tools drop down menu, there is no options button. where is it or how do i restore it to the tools menu?

Thanks for the reply, but I didn't understand it. As you can tell, I am not very good with computer jargon. So, I have to be walked through every step.
Still, I think you were not trying to answer my Tools/option question so much as tell me how to do something else. On this, I could be incorrect.

Scanner for Toshiba 18.5" laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 -bit

I bought an HP Officejet 6500 at the suggestion of people far more savvy than I in the world of technology, but unfortunatly I can't locate any drivers that will install with a 64-bit. I've tried everything, and I've given up on that.
All I want is a plain old scanner that works with Windows 7 64-bit without having the hassle of finding drivers for it. Even Best Buy Geek Squad can't help. So here I am -- anybody have any advice?
If you think I'm more than a bit tech challenged, you would be right so any advice has to be in very basic terminology.
Thanks.

Why when I click the Safari icon in my dock to open Safari it will not open onto my home page?

After downloading the new version of Safari it no longer gives the option to open Safari with your home page. The only options are to open Safari with a blank page or the last page you viewed.
In addition, when Im using Safari and I press Command+N to open a new page I would like that page to be the same as the page I was originally on. Example: If I am on Amazon.com and I press Command+N I would like a new page to open ALSO on Amazon.com

Carolyn thank you for your response,
I know how to set my home page what I am trying to do is make it so when I launch Safari it will OPEN on my home page.
In "Safari / Preferences / Apple opens with" the ONLY options are:
"A new window"
or
"All windows from last session"
How can I make it my "Home Page"?
In addition, when Im using Safari and I press Command+N to open a new page I would like that page to be the same as the page I was originally on NOT my home page.

Whatever happened to call frame action

Flash contintues to get worse with every improvement to the
point where it's almost as useless as the online manual whiich
takes half an hour to open and finds trillions of results for every
keyword and none for what I want to know. I spent ages learning
Flash a couple of versions ago and its so different its like a new
program. I really hate it.
So what the bleep happened to the bleeping "call frame"
action. And what do I do now, except throw out this bleeping
program.

So use an older version, right? Or go outside and play
badminton or
something. ;) Take a jog, maybe; clear your head.

Honestly, I'm sorry to hear you're so upset by it. In truth,
the
program has become a lot more powerful. It does so much
*more* than it ever
used to, which means it allows *me* to do so much more than I
ever used to.
I can't think of another program that does cartoons, web
stuff, CD-ROM
stuff, titling and overlays for video, rich Internet
applications, games,
and the list goes on. Thanks to Flash, I was able to quit my
day job,
believe it or not, and make even more money working from
home.

Well, you mentioned the documentation that "takes half an
hour to open,"
but all I had to do was hit the F1 key. The Help files opened
in less than
a second. I searched the word "call" and found the "call
function" entry
right away. According to the documentation, this action was
deprecated in
favor of the function statement since Flash 5. You can still
use it, of
course, and the details are right there at your finger tips.
