Windows Installs via cd but doesn't run Setup process, help please....

Hello All,
  I have a Toshiba Presario L355D-S7825 and wanted some insight from any knowledgeable person in regards to programing, etc.
The two Recovery cd's install fine when performing a full restoration.  However, after installation the computer is supposed to reboot and then begin the Setup process (out-of-box-experience).  This doesn't occur though.
1) Instead the computer boots up into what I beleive to be the built-in Administrator account and then continously runs driver installations.  There is no setting up this account.
2) I discovered I can manually run the sysprep.exe tool at which the computer will reboot and the "normal" Setup process then begins.  Whereas the end-user sets personal preferences, account name and activates Windows, etc.
3) I really don't know what the sysprep.exe tool is for?  It seems to be for duplicating operating systems to deploy over a network?  IS IT OK TO MANUALLY RUN THE TOOL AS I AM DOING AND WHAT ABOUT RUN LIMITATIONS?  OTHERWISE, IS THERE A BETTER WAY TO RUN THE OOBE??
Thanks, Ralph

  • Service error...  tried everything but doesn't work!!  Help please!

    I just got my brand new video ipod, and I can't even download anything!!!
    I installed the CD that came with the ipod.
    Ipod IS recognized by the windows, but not in iTunes.
    I see in the discussion that so many people had these errors...
    "ipod service error" under ipod updater and
    "The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the ipod's software."
    I've tried almost everything that's suggested in the discussion. Re-installed iTunes so many times, used Windows Install Cleanup, used msconfig under Run and changed system configuration utility. NOTHING.
    Could someone suggest me anything else I can do?
    I'm really disappointed and frustrated... I was so excited to get my new ipod, and didn't expect to run into a problem from the start!!!!
    And I've been working on this for 2 days!
    Dell   Windows XP  

    problems after problems...
    Ok, I got the ipod service error taken care of.
    Thanks to this thread.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1388732&#1388732
    So now the ipod updater has updated my ipod successfully.
    NOW, the itune doesn't open.
    everytime I try to open it, it gives the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close." error.
    So I'm off to this new problem...
    At least I got the service error taken care of.

  • HI my iphone 3GS does not respond to swipe to unlock or swipe to shut down, its 1st problem was that it did not respond to touch on the left hand side of the screen. I have restored through itunes via laptop but still the same. Any help please.

    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Running Windows 7 via bootcamp but cannot update to either 3.1 or 3.2. My MAC OS is 10.6.8

    I am running Windows 7 via bootcamp but cannot update to either 3.1 or 3.2. My MAC OS is 10.6.8.
    I can  download either version, but I get an error message after attempting to install.
    First tried Boot Camp 3.2.  Error message indicated I need Boot Camp 3.1 first.
    Then tried Boot Camp 3.1. Error message indicated I need Boot Camp 3.0 first
    Then tried Boot Camp 3.0. Would not allow download.
    I know the OSX came with Boot Camp why is there a problem????!!

    3.0 is on your OS X DVD. Clearly spelled out in the guide in Boot Camp Assistant, and here -
    www.apple.com/support/bootcamp : manuals, look for 10.6 pdf version.
    3.0 is pre-requisite for any other
    OS X comes with Boot Camp Assistant and you access 3.0 drivers while in Windows.

    One has to initialise a session first for use with Oracle Apps if you want to make it run as a concurrent job.
    Any decleration within your package will not be recognised unless initialisation is sucessful.
    Investigate the built-in packages:
    FND_GLOBAL - for initialisation
    FND_SUBMIT - for setting session relevant parameters
    -- function returns true or false depending on whether the initialisation was sucessful or not
    create or replace function is_Init_OK (p_User_Name       in varchar2
                                          ,p_Responsibility  in varchar2
                                          ,p_Language        in varchar2) return boolean as
      b_Set_NLS   boolean;
      b_Set_Mode  boolean;
      r_ISet      fnd_Init := Get_Init_Set(p_User_Name, p_Responsibility);
      begin
        -- 1
        fnd_global.apps_initialize(r_ISet.User_ID, r_ISet.Resp_ID, r_ISet.App_ID);
        -- 2
        b_Set_NLS := fnd_submit.set_nls_options(p_Language);
        -- 3
        b_Set_Mode  := fnd_submit.set_mode (false);
        return (b_Set_Mode and b_Set_NLS and (    (r_ISet.Resp_ID is not null)
                                              and (r_ISet.User_ID is not null)
        exception
          when others then
            return false;
    end is_Init_OK;
    -- for example
    declare
      l_User_ID number = 'IMPORT_POST'; --- import post user
      l_Resp    number =  'Import and Posting responsibility' -- import posting responsibility

    I have successfully sync'd my macbook and new ipad via itunes, but how do I sync the calendar, please ? I do not have icloud yet.

    You can select the calendar to sync in the Info Tab in the iTunes window on the right, when your iPad is connected to the Mac , while iTunes is running and after you select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading.

    Freezing, or crashing?
    ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
    Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding

  • HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated.  There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

    Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.
