Vista 64-bit installation on Satellite P500/025

I have just purchased a P500/025 and should have picked 64 bit installation but installed 32 bit instead.
Could someone please give me instructions on how to install 64 bit vista over 32 bit Vista?
Will I loose everything I have installed on my current 32 bit installation?
Thanks in advance.

> Could someone please give me instructions on how to install 64 bit vista over 32 bit Vista?
The notebook seems to be preinstalled with both OS; 32bit and 64bit
At the banging of the installation procedure you can choose what OS you are want to use.
As far as I know you can reverse this very easily. You need to run the recovery procedure again.
Simply boot the notebook, press F8 and choose Repair my Computer.
Then choose Toshiba HDD recovery and then you should be pointed to the menu which allows you to choose the 32bit or 64bit OS.
Check it and post how it worked.
Cheers

CS-4 Vista 64 Bit Installation problems - "checking system profile...."

Hello All:
I know that this has been discussed in the past, but I was hoping that perhaps someone has determined a fix for the following problem.
Background: In the past, with Windows XP Professional, I never had problems with loading any Adobe products. But just last week I reluctantly upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium because it came with a new power system PC that I purchased (AMD quad-core 2.4 gHz Phenom CPU, 8 Gigs of RAM and 1 TB HD) and this is where my problems began:
Nature of problem: I loaded the latest versions of Lightroom and Adobe Elements just fine - absolutely no problems there. But when I tried to load my Photoshop CS-4 upgrade disk, it never gets past the "checking system profile" bar at the very beginning of the install process. I mean to say that you initially get the install window and when you click "install," a small window comes up which indicates "checking system profile." Then the progress indicator goes all the way to the right - around 90% to the right but then just hangs there - and I mean stays there...period. I tried this several times, eventually having to use control/ALT/Delete in each instance to get it to stop. I even let it stay there for over 6 hours - all to no avail. What I found interesting is that just about all of my older programs - even those dating back to 2001 - all installed without a problem at all.
2. Actions I took to try and correct this:
    a. Then, in my attempt to find fixes for this, I made sure to close out any background programs that were running (and Vista has a million of 'em), to include Firewall, Windows Defender, any other malware and anti-virus programs, not to mention a bunch of smaller programs that have items running in the background. Then I tried loading CS-4 again....but still no go, the "checking system profile" indicator just hangs at 90% complete. Note that at no time did the install process ever load any files at all - I checked everything to ensure this wasn't the case, otherwise I would have removed them.
    b. On my next try, I then I copied all of the files from the CD to a folder on my desktop and tried to run the program from there - still no go as the "checking system profile" window still hangs at 90% I even tried loading the program by right clicking on the exe file and installing "as administrator," but that didn't do the trick either.
    c. Then I rebooted into safe mode, trying both to load the programs first from the CD and then from the desktop folder - still no go, but in this case it told me right up front that the action was unable to be completed. I assumed this meant that in Windows Safe Mode, the installer was not available.
Help Needed: So folks, I know this has been discussed in the past, but I don't know of any fixes that are available. Can anybody help me through this process? You can also send me direct emails at: [email protected] - which means I'd get them right away.
This has been driving me up a wall because some other folks with Vista 64 Bit systems report that they had no problems with installation. Again - it never makes it to installation, but gets hung up at the "checking system profile" stage.
Argggggggg......
Thanks,
Ben Herrmann

I believe you are falling victim to some known incombatibility of LR vs. PS CS4 installer. This should be covered in the knowledge base, so check there. A short way to happiness may be using the CS4 Clean Utility to remove the debris from the failed installs and unregister other Adobe installs, then install PS CS4, but since I don't use LR and never have tried this, I'm not sure if this specific case is covered.

Need Vista 64-bit drivers for Satellite Pro P100

Hello,
I have one question about Drivers for Vista 64bit version. I have a notebook Satellite Pro P100 and search in the drivers catalogue and find only a BIOS update for 64-bit systems.
But where can I find the Hardware drivers for 64-bit versions?
Regards
Mischa

The 4 GB RAM issue is a known issue at the toshiba helpdesk (yes I had it and called) it's due to a problem programming the BIOS to handle more then 3GB.
As for your drivers I can tell you in advance you can find everything except SD Card driver and the microphone jack in plug support driver.
I'm sorry I forgot where I found those but the rest is out there (you can also try installing 32-bit version for the most).
Ow and the BIOS - update for 64 bit doesn't work for me so don't count on it to much lol

Installing Windows 7 64 bit on a Satellite P500

I bought the above mentioned system back in August last year with 32 bit Windows 7 installed. I understand that it's not possible to upgrade and that a complete new installation is required.

Strange devices on Satelite U300-15 after clean Vista 64-bit installation

I just got my Toshiba Satelite U300-159 (Model no. PSU30E-07901NN5)
It was a demo model used in the store where I bought it, so I wanted to make a clean install.
Using the recovery cd's didn't work. (Some thing about some files that couln't be read.)
This didn't really bother me at all since I want to run it with a clean Vista anyway, so I popped in a Vista Home Premium 64Bit UK + SP1 and installed it.
After installation was done I ran windows update to get a few more drivers for a few items that did not install properly.
After this pretty much everything was working fine.
Except:
I got two entries in the device manager called Base System Device. They are located under "Other devices".
I've looked around the toshiba site for drivers, but did not find anything that seemed like it was the thing I was missing.
(Actually I'm not sure that I found the correct support page. I got to http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp and was only able to select 3 versions of U300. U300-ST3091, U300-ST3092, U300-ST3094 )
Everything on the PC is working fine: card reader, bluetooth, graphics card, wireless + wired LAN, hotkeys, sound etc.
The only thing that does not seem to work is when I put it into sleep mode. The screen goes black, the powerled stays on, and the fans keep running. Its not possible to bring it back again though.
Does anyone have a clue where to find these drivers?
Or perhaps just somehow fix the sleep problem?

I have just managed to get my Toshiba U300 working with a clean install of Vista x64 SP1 with all the devices in device manager installed correctly.
Heres what I did:
1. Install Vista 64bit SP1 DVD
2. Windows update laptop and tick all drivers too.
3. After a reboot, this should leave you with just the Base System Devices left.
4. Go to Toshibas website, in the 32bit drivers Vista Section download and install the Card Reader Controller driver and the Webcam Software.
The card reader manufacturer included the 64bit drivers in the 32bit driver download package.
Note: You only need the webcam software if you want to use it with messenger etc. even though the driver is already installed by windows the software is required for it to work and it runs and functions ok on 64bit o/s.

Drivers for Satellite L300-1AN for Vista 64-bit

Hello,
I just bougt a notebook, Toshiba Satellite L300-1AN, and i Intend to install Vista 64-bit OS but i didn't find drivers for Vista 64-bit (only for Vista 32-bit). Can you help me withsome information or some links?
Another question (I am not an expert): my notebook have 4Gb RAM and some guys told me that only a 64-bit OS can use all my 4Gb RAM. Is this true?
Thank you,
Calin

Usually the drivers have to be specifically designed for 64-bit OS, and the installer must definitely not contain any 16-bit code (which is not compatible with 64-bit OS, but which is still a common thing nowadays - for the 32-bit drivers only, obviously). Some 32-bit drivers are somehow compatible with 64-bit OS, but there's a performance limitation (and possible conflicts with other drivers and memory resource allocation; 100% compatibility with the OS, as well as the OS' manufacturer certification, are some of the key features that will make Windows 7 better than Vista, since most of the problems are related to poorly written drivers).
Searching Toshiba's site for 64-bit drivers is definitely not a solution, since the technical specs on the website are not so detailed and cannot be used in order to narrow the search area (and there's no field to search by chipset driver, regardless the product series; even with such a field, not having the files indexed properly will bring no result).
The RealTek (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Sound) and Intel (Video, Memory Controller, USB...) drivers are easy to find, but the Toshiba-specific drivers, as well as the Toshiba applications, are a little trickyer to get. Those are the ones I'm interested in.

Need correct Win 7 driver installation order for Satellite P500/01G

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P500 and had to replace HDD after it was dropped by son.
I dont have the recovery disc so i loaded Win 7 from image on USB.
I down loaded all the drivers but have been frustrated by a few things.
The webcam seems to be impossible to get working despite trying every fix i could find online and some devices unkown in device manager.
The Toshiba site lists multiple audio,display and wireless cards wgich makes it hard to know the correct driver to install.
I needd a correct driver list and the order they should installed in
Model is Satellite P500/01G (PSPGSA-01G003)
windows 7 32 bit
Cheers

Hi
I have Satellite P500 too and Im really satisfied with it. I hope you are also happy with your machine.
To be honest I think you should use it with original Win7 64bit version.
As I can see you have an Australian model. I have UK model but I think installation order must be the same. So here it is:
Windows 7
Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility
Intel Management Engine Interface
Display Driver
Intel Turbo Boost Technology Driver
Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver
TOSHIBA Supervisor Password Utility
TOSHIBA HW Setup Utility
TOSHIBA Value Added Package
Card Reader Controller
NVIDIA HD Audio Driver
Conexant Audio Driver
Wireless LAN Driver
Synaptics Touch Pad Driver
TOSHIBA HDD Protection
Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
LAN Driver
YUAN DVB-T/ATSC Tuner Driver
TOSHIBA USB Sleep and Charge Utility
TOSHIBA Face Recognition
TOSHIBA eco Utility
TOSHIBA HDD/SSD Alert
TOSHIBA Service Station
HDMI Control Manager
TOSHIBA Remote Control Manager
TOSHIBA Fingerprint Utility
PatchFiles FixFPService_REG_1.0
ConfigFree
TOSHIBA Assist
TOSHIBA Web Camera Application
TOSHIBA Extended Tiles for Windows Mobility Center
TOSHIBA Folder Migrating Utility
PatchFiles
If some listed driver is not available for download just continue with next one.
Good luck

Satellite A300D with Vista 64-bit - Drivers for Conexant High Definition

Hi,
I have Satalite A300D-15B AMB 64-bit notebook with Vista 64-bit installed. After I have installed Vista, it automatically took the audio drivers for sound card, but Dolby didn't work.
I tried to install the drivers from toshiba, it fails.
Can someone guide me how to install the Vista 64-bit drivers for Conexant High Definition Audio please......
regards,
Ganesh

Hello Ganesh
Sorry but this notebook model is not supported for Vista 64-bit and I don't know what driver installation are you writing about.
What you can try is to download and install THIS driver.
This is driver for Satellite A300 but this notebook has the same sound card as your Satellite A300D - Conexant CX20561.
Please post the results.

After rebooting my Windows Vista 64 bit system, could not access iTunes; after uninstalling I tried reinstalling, but it has been running for more than 24 hrs. Should I cancel installation?

I had been updating my Windows Vista 64 bit system and as a result of a problem, had to reboot my system. Afterwards, I was no longer able to access iTunes. I got a message stating that there was a problem with some of the files associated with the application. A phone rep at Apple's Customer Service provided me with emails linking instructions on completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I did the uninstall, then checked for lingering iTunes files and couldn't completely remove some, but tried intalling the latest version of iTunes. It has been running for roughly 24 hours. The status bar is green all the way across, and when I try to cancel, I get the following message: "Are you sure you want to cancel iTunes installation?" I keep hitting "no," but am staring to wonder if there is a problem with the install. Should it take this long if I have roughly 134 gigs of music? I can still see the music in my computer's C drive, so I am worried that there is an error, perhpas because I didn't clear out all the lingering C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and all the lingering C:\Program Files\iTunes\. Any thoughts?

It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.

I am trying to install itunes on my hp laptop with windows vista 64 bit. But when i install i get this error "An error occured during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32"version="8.0.50727.6195".publickeyTOken="1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b".

Vista 64-bit + Firefox + (Netflix-required) Silverlight installation = I am now out of aspirin.

I like Firefox, and hardly ever open IE unless forced to anymore, so this was an atypical experience.
'''I've found a 'for now' workaround for this which I've included. What I'm looking for is a solution that feels less likely to go up in smoke due to some future, required update.'''
'''Situation:'''
I recently subscribed to Netflix. Netflix very specifically required Microsoft Silverlight before it would stream content to my PC.
'''Problem: '''
Silverlight updating via Firefox results in me not having Silverlight at all after clicking the Update button, etc., and running the Silverlight installer. Said installer tells me (in complete defiance of their listed System Requirements, all of which I meet) that Silverlight 5 is not compatible with my 64-bit OS. In this case that's Vista, although the message didn't specify. And it tells me this -after- it's done deleting the older version of Silverlight that I had, leaving me with no Silverlight at all. Not classy.
I found that much out pre-Netflix, the hard way, which was why I had no Silverlight installed when I subscribed and -then- found out I'd need it. I'd set up a restore point before updating Silverlight, but made the mistake of taking the 'not compatible' message at face value and didn't restore afterward. And yes, the same installer behavior happened when I tried again to reinstall Silverlight so I could use Netflix's stream-to-PC option.
'''Detailed info and a workaround which (for now?) works:'''
So at that point I bit the bullet and went to the Microsoft Silverlight update page in Internet Explorer. I got a message that Silverlight is not compatible with my OS there too, when I was at the download page (again, in spite of their system requirements page saying otherwise, and if there's an "unless it's 64-bit Vista" footnote I sure didn't find it), -but- the Silverlight updater downloaded via Internet Explorer, unlike the one downloaded through Firefox, resulted in me being able to install Silverlight anyway... but a 'stealth' older version installation, see below.
I could then watch Silverlight-required material -in Firefox- just fine once the IE-acquired version of Silverlight was installed -- as long as I never update Silverlight, or more to the point, as long as I never -have to- update Silverlight. This is not an optimal position to be in with software these days. Also, Firefox plugin update checks now show me as -still- having an outdated version, which I confirmed is the case. And if I opt to update it, see above regarding the installer deleting Silverlight and then giving me the finger and leaving me Silverlight-less.
Note: I couldn't -find- an option on Microsoft's site to get an older version via Firefox, I looked, and the downloaded-via-Firefox version of the Silverlight installer was no help at all. Meanwhile, the IE-acquired version installs an older version of Silverlight automatically without -telling me- it's an older version.... While I'm glad that it works, it makes it LOOK like IE is doing what Firefox couldn't, getting version 5 of Silverlight on Vista 64-bit, when it isn't.
Version note: According to the "Installed Version" checker on Microsoft's Silverlight update page AFTER updating via IE, and also to Firefox's Manage Add-Ons option, Silverlight 4 (4.0.60831.0) is what I end up with via the IE-downloaded installer; the current Silverlight version is 5-something. But the only reason I know this is because I went back to the update page and looked at the "version you have" entry again.
I'm happy to have any version that -works-, but concerned about what will happen when either a Windows update, a Firefox update, or something on the Netflix end, causes the yellow 'out of date' button beside Silverlight in the plugin update checker list to turn to gray and 'disabled' and stay that way.
I do realize that this issue is probably largely the result of Microsoft being, well, Microsoft -- Silverlight is required for Netflix streaming to PC, and there are issues getting Silverlight installed via a non-IE browser? Oh yeah, that doesn't make me suspicious AT ALL. Hah. But I am hoping that on the Firefox end, someone's accounting for the existence of this Silverlight-related snafu, because if I hadn't been stubborn enough to go back and try Netflix in Firefox again after all this, I still wouldn't realize I didn't HAVE to use Internet Explorer to watch Netflix content on my PC.
And if there's anything that can be done about the way things (refuse to) go when installing/updating Silverlight via Firefox, a Google search suggests I am not the only one who's had this problem or one similar to it.
''edit: typo squishing.''

Flash player 11.0.1.152 installation problem with Windows Vista 64-Bit

Hello,
I just can't get Flash Player to install on my computer with Windows Vista 64-Bit - doesnt matter if I try with Firefox, Opera or IE (I usually use Firefox).
The download isn't a problem, but when I start the downloaded .exe, this file just disappears from my download folder and nothing happens - besides starting a process called install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih_3.exe, which does nothing. The usual installation popup never appears. After that I can't try starting the installation again, until disabling the process via task manager ("Only a single instance of this application may run"). Doesn't matter if I try the download and installation with or without "McAffe Security Plus" btw - same result.
I never had such a problem before - Flash Player 10.3 was and is no problem to install and use.
I have tried all the measures suggested in the troubleshooting section on the official site, including the advanced troubleshooting measures (uninstall old version, run as administrator, disabling software firewalls, disabling virus scanner etc.). Nothing helps.
I don't got those problems with my laptop running Windows 7 - just my desktop computer with Vista 64-Bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit on Satellite L300-1AM

When I can get drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit? Or I need to intall 32-bit drivers on my 64-bit Vista operating system?
Please links ;)

[Toshiba - Download Drivers|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]
In the Drivers Search Page (the link above) select these filters:
_Product type:_ +Notebook+
_Family:_ +Satellite+
_Product Series:_ +Satellite A Series+ (don't try the L series if you want to find anything useful)
_Operating System:_ +Windows Vista 64 Bit+
_Country:_ +World Wide+ (you have to select this in order to get rid of those multiple country options available for the modem)
_Language:_ +English+ (obviously)
Don't modify any other filter. The results will be about 100 (maybe more, but the site is set to show up to 100 results).
Advices:
1. Download the latest versions only (there's no point in downloading multiple versions of the same driver, yet they will be shown in the search results area)
2. Download what's specific to your laptop only (network - RealTek, both wired and wireless; chipset and graphics - Intel; modem - Toshiba; webcam - Chicony; there's no point in downloading anything from otehr vendors - except maybe the touchpad, but Windows can handle it properly without aditional drivers)
3. Don't download any BIOS or Firmware file; they might not be for your notebook, and installing the wrong ones is a sure path to screwing up your notebook (and losing the warranty); if you need them upgraded, go to the download page for your specific model, Windows XP or Windows Vista 32 Bit drivers (since they are OS independent anyway)
Toshiba utilities (DVD Player, ConfigFree, etc.) should be OK too (again, download the latest version only).
BTW, I own 2 Toshiba notebooks (L300-1AM and L300-1AN; quite similar, the differences are in HDD and CPU only) and I had the same problem: no 64-bit drivers (and the same "support"). Quite strange the idea that Toshiba is testing these 64-bit drivers before releasing them (according to a previous post), since the same drivers, for the very same chipsets - but installed on other models - are available. Windows Vista 64-bit is out on the market for nearly 2 years now, the production of these models has already been stopped (and I assume they have not been produced during one night only :) ), yet they had no time to test the drivers... High-class support from Toshiba!
