Vista, 7.1 & 7.2 don't work!

I don't get it. After 4 hours of installing and uninstalling, adding (over 50GB) stuff to the library, random errors, CTDs and BSODs, I still cannot get iTunes to run under Vista correctly. I tried compatibility mode...no dice, I get the dreaded endless "computer not authorized" loop. I tried 7.1, I got BSODs out the yin-yang. I tried 7.2, I managed to get it working, but the sound quality was so godawful that I just finally said to heck with it and uninstalled it yet again. So far I've gotten virtually everything else to run under Vista after some tweaking or patch/driver downloads, but this business with iTunes is ridiculous. Has ANYONE gotten it to run under Vista with no issues at all?

Things I've tried that I've seen suggested here in user discussions:
Disabling UAC in Vista
Removing Quicktime and installing standalone version
Trying different sound and video drivers
Updating BIOS and mobo firmware
Using other programs to play music (they play fine in virtually everything else, so its definitely iTunes)
I should probably explain my exact situation:
I had iTunes 7.1 on a Dell. I scrapped the Dell and custom built a new computer. Somewhere in between that time, 7.2 was released. I just cranked up the new computer and started adding stuff on 5-30-07. I have an external that I put all the music, movies, etc on. Neither version of iTunes runs stably under Vista, and compatibility mode has its own issues. To add to that, even during the 5 or so minutes that iTunes does run, it sounds horrible and video playback is a joke.

Vista Rescue and Recovery discs don't work

I have a T61 (7659-D22) that came with Vista Business preinstalled. I made (and verified) a set of R&R discs, then used a set of WinXP discs supplied by Lenovo to install XPPro.
Now I am trying to use the Vista discs I made to install on a brand-new drive in the same machine, but after I select "Restore my machine to its factory state" (or whatever the actual wording is), I just get the hourglass thing "for ever" with no evidence of disc access.
Any suggestions?

I wrote:
I do have a backup of the R&R partition -- created with Macrium Reflect -- but the special MBR needs to be present for F11 to work. The only means of repairing the MBR seems to involve the use of a floppy, but of course this machine does not have a floppy drive.
I restored the Recovery partition (created with Macrium Reflect) and marked it Active. Although F11 still did not work, the machine rebooted into the R&R partition anyway and gave me the option of formatting only Drive C:. The only very minor glitch was that when it rebooted it booted into the R&R partition again rather than into C:, and I had to use Partition Wizard to mark C: as the active partition. It then booted into C: and went on its merry way configuring Windows Vista.
Maybe I can then recreate a usable R&R Startup CD -- but maybe it doesn't matter as long as I can preserve the image of the Recovery partition somewhere -- on a DL DVD-R perhaps.

Buttons don't work on Tecra M7 after Vista Upgrade

I know this one has been discussed many times, apologize and need to raise it again as my two function keys on my Tecra do not work post Vista Ultimate Upgrade.
If I press either of them right now they launch Windows Mobility Centre. I know this is not what should happen. They did work briefly last year after my machine came back from Toshiba repair. They had run some kind of utility that restored the functions (I had to drop back to XP Tablet as a I had a CD ROM issue that we thought was Vista related and turned out to be hardware failure), alas, I have not gone back to Vista and they don't work.
I installed all of the Vista updates in the order they are shown on the web site. I since saw the suggested order for loading the Vista drivers. A suggestion to Toshiba - it would be REALLY useful if you produced an updated upgrade guide for Vista with a step by step guide detailing the order that the updates should be run.
Anyone out there who can help - I would be really grateful for your feedback.

I managed to resolve this by modifying items in the Toshiba Value Added Package. I had to tick a box for button support that had not been added. If anybody else experiences this difficutly I hope this helps.

Creative Audigy 2 ZS - ASIO don't work in Vista 64 bit APPs

;C Hello. I have the Creative Audigy 2 ZS card and Vista 64 bit OS. My problem: don't work ASIO in 64 bit applications, such as?cakewalk sonar 8 (64bit), Guitar Rig (64bit) etc. In options of these applications ASIO not available, but in 32 bit version of applications Creative ASIO is visible. I used all drivers from Creative Download Page for Audigy 2 ZS, even beta, but problem still actually. How it is possible to solve the given problem? Sorry for my english.

?I was having the same problem like your having, I have the X-Fi XtrememMusic soundcard, Vista 64-Bit OS and SONAR Home Studio 64-Bit. I could not get the Creative ASIO to load and activate. I now use the Cakewalk Driver Mode (below)?to switch between mode easy now without any problems.
This may or not work, Below is a separate program by cakewalk ?"Cakewalk Driver Mode" that forces?when selected the ASIO, ?WDM/KS and MME 32-Bit modes.
Just install and before going into your SONAR software, use the "Cakewalk Driver Mode" to see if your software is listed. Select that software your using and then select ASIO, click apply and go into your SONAR software.
If your software is NOT listed, this software will not work, But, try it out to see if this works.

Embedded Flash videos don't work

Since updating Firefox to 36, embedded Flash videos don't work. HTML5 and Flash videos on YouTube work fine. I have Click-To-Play enabled (disabling it didn't help too), but instead of a grey area with the message I just see a black area where the video is supposed to be. Does anyone else have this problem?

Flash videos don't work with PepperFlash disabled (but with system plugin enabled) on Chrome!

Hello everyone,
Basically, Google Chrome lags a lot when I use PepperFlash and so I have heard that disabling it and using the system flash will have better performance. I have done this but when I disable PepperFlash, the flash videos don't work as it says flash player has crashed. Also, I would like to resolve the lag and bad performance with flash videos on chrome because the video playback on Internet Explorer is a lot better than Chrome(Never thought I would have to say that) atm. A possible solution might be to install 32-Bit Chrome instead
Summary:
Flash videos lag(most likely due to PepperFlash being used according to other people)
When PepperFlash is disabled, the system flash plugin does not work in chrome as it apparently crashes every time.
I would like help on how to resolve the bad performance and be able to use the system flash plugin to have no lag on videos and livestreams.
Thanks,
Talha

Desktop SMS and Windows Mail don't work properly together

Hi
thought I would post there here as been having some issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer doesn't suffer same issues and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a couple of very helpful told me who to try solving the issues.
One of them suddenly realised I'd said my laptop was a Toshiba and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail just don't work properly together so the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall it apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs don't like each other and would explain why my desktop doesn't have the issue but laptop does.
After resetting the Windows Mail (tutorial on a vista site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/) Touch wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site does both 32 and 64 and followed Brink's excellent resetting Windows Mail (didn't restore any mail) and then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch wood no more mail issues as has been giving me problems virtually daily with marking draft emails as read/sent.
So had to click on forward then delete those bits and finish email to send it and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to draft or outbox get the number of emails in the brackets whereas before this wouldn't happen unless I closed the program then reopened it.
Hoping these solutions have fixed my problem and wanted to share it with anybody else who wants to read this thread and would recommend the Vista 64 site as they're all really helpful over there and speak in non technical terms for those of us not technically trained.
Debbie

I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

Satellite P200-RT1 - FN keys don't work after downgrade to XP

Hi
I have a Satellite P200-RT1, PSPBOC.
I have downgraded my operating system from Vista to XP.
Now I am having a driver issue, I have installed all of the drivers for my computer. I have installed all of the HotKey utilities for my computer as well and I still have an issue. Some of my FN Key functions don't work. The ESC to F5 Functions work but all of the functions above there do not.
I am really looking for the Display Brightness and Dimmer keys F6&F7 to work, if possible I would also like the F9 key touch pad enable/disable key to work as well, which as of right now they don't.
I was wondering if there is a driver that I am missing and if so which driver is it. I have taken my computer into three computer shops now and no one can figure this out. Please Help ME!
Thanks Ken.

Hello
It seems that your notebook is a Canadian model and therefore you can download the drivers on the Toshiba Canada website:
http://www.toshiba.ca
The problem is that I cant find Windows XP drivers on this website. :(
The only way I know is that you try the drivers and utilities from the European website. Normally the models are very similar and maybe it works. Its worth a try.

Try to download and install Toshiba Accessibility and Controls (Driver).

Forward and Back Buttons Don't Work

Greetings,
My forward and back buttons on the mouse don't work in PSE 7. Instead I always have to click the forward or back buttons on the toolbar, or use keyboard shortcuts (alt+left arrow or alt+right arrow).
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Thanks,
Shane.
Photoshop Elements 7
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

This is working for me. The forward and backward buttons on the toolbar would work only with pressing of Alt button i.e. Alt+Left arrow.
Suppose you are in Single image view, and press left and right arrow keys, application would switch to previous and next photo respectively.
Please let me know if you have other concern.

Portege M750 and Win8.1 Pro -tablet buttons don't work

Hi
I'm having difficulties installing the tablet buttons in WINDOWS 8.1 Pro. Everything else works, perfectly.
In Windows 8 Pro this buttons worked nicely, but now, after a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro two of the buttons don't work. The buttons are the Toshiba assist button and the presebtation button. I've tried to configure them in Toshiba assist software but nothing happens.
I'm sure I've installed all drivers that made wverything work with Windows 8. As anyone tryed this and add success?

> I'm sure I've installed all drivers that made wverything work with Windows 8
Windows 8.1 is not Windows 8 and many of Toshiba Win 8 drivers and tools dont work or are not fully compatible with Win 8.1
As far as I know the Toshiba does not support Win 8.1 on this Portege M750.
This means that no Win 8.1 drivers will be released and in such case some notebook features like the control buttons could not work properly.
Fact is that using Windows Vista or Win 7, such buttons were controlled by Value Added Package. This package does not exist for Win 8.1 and has been replaced by other software called Toshiba System Driver
So in case you want to try to get the buttons to work, I recommend checking this with Toshiba System Driver

Qosmio G30-126 monitor become black and FN buttons don't work

Thx for help !!!
Sry for my bad english

Hi Martin
First of all its interesting if you have downloaded and installed all Toshiba Vista drivers which are released on the Toshiba European driver page?
All drivers must be installed in the right order!
If I'm not mistaken the Qosmio G30-126 belongs to the PQG32E series. It was delivered with HD DVD drive and therefore you should choose the drivers for Qosmio G30 HD DVD (PQG32E)!!!
Please check firstly the Installation Instructions txt file and then install all drivers like mentioned in this document.
Regarding the display issue;
You should install the right NVIDIA driver from the Toshiba page!!
The FN keys and control buttons dont work because the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package was not installed. This package contains different applications which are necessary to get all Toshiba functions running!
Good luck

Clean Install of Windows 8 & Some buttons Don't Work

I bought this PC with dead Hard Drive. I installed new Drive and Windows 8 from USB.It only installed as 32bit OS and I know it should have been 64bit. Has 4Gb memory installed.Property screen shows: 4.00GB (2.97GB usable)(32bit OS, x64 Processor). Some of my buttons Don't Work nor does my Microphone. I have tried verifying all drivers but none fix buttons. No errors listed in Device Manager. Any help is Appreciated.

Wow that is so a "Canned" response. Can't install Windows7 on a system that never had 7. This unit was made originally for Vista. And even those do not have drivers I could use. Now if there were device manufacturer information you could give me about my unit then maybe I can get the buttons to work. The most important is the Microphone and Volume/mute buttons that need to work then you could help me.The Dell site will give you an exact biuld list when serial or Tag number is provided which help Identify device manufacturer so user can goto their site to get generic drivers to work with their Dell PC regardless of what version of OS is currently installed.So if you can really help here is the PC Info»HP TouchSmart IQ524 Desktop PC

Re: Satellite A200-1ZF Win XP & Toshiba Control buttons don't work

Hi,
I have a Satellite A200-1ZF with Vista installed originally.
I removed Vista and install XP. And then installed all drivers and almost everything is working but those keys (power,www,mediaplayer,play,stop,back,next) on the upside of notebook don't work. :/
Only power work properly ...sometimes www and mediaplayer, but rest of it doesn,t work at all.
I have Windows Media Player 9 series. I don't know if it is problem with my drivers or windows media version or something else..
please help..

Hi
Satellite A200-1ZF belongs to the PSAE6E series.
Choose this series in the Toshiba European driver download form.
There you will find a XP BIOS. If you are using Win XP on this notebook then you have to update the BIOS to the XP version!
Furthermore you have to install the Toshiba Controls v. 2.48.2.2C.
This tool is needed to get the Toshiba Media buttons working!
