bios update

Hi again, I have a question how to update BIOS on Win7 x64 ultimate. I downloaded newest version of BIOS for my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A8-185 PTA83E). After unzipping there is only .exe file. When I try to run that file it says, that my OS is unsupported. When I run it in compability mode (with...

I recently upgraded windows 7 ultimate x64 from my vista home premium x64, however, the new upgraded win 7 includes too much junk and slows down my laptop a lot. So I would like to do a clean install. My question is: I have already activated my upgraded win 7, so if I reinstall my win 7, would...

I need help with Windows Seven Pro 32 bit I installed on a nice custom built PC on Monday, it refuses to see (4) different DVD/CDR drives. I've tried the various methods for Disabling the Digital Driver Signing in Windows 7 but no luck. F8, then selecting diable never worked, registry entry...

Hello I formatted and installed Windows 7 home premium on my Samsung r 700 laptop (specification- Intel dual core t5550, 3 GB of RAM, 250 gig hard drive and the nvidia geforce 8400m gs graphics chipset) two weeks ago. The installation went without a problem and I managed to get all...

Hello, I'd had a fully working PC when I had XP SP 3. My vcard is a 8800 TS 512. Since I installed Win 7 32bit I've been experiencing this annoying error: "The display driver has stopped but has recovered" I've read through forums and I found that it was a common issue. using older / newer...

in my opinion sadly the only thing you will experience from microsoft hotline is a waste of your time, and / or money. my reasons were based on the following. i was transferred to three different reps, each of which i was asked my full name, phone number, email, edition of windows and reasons...

After updating my HP a6500f desktop to Windows 7 Home Premium I am experiencing the following issue: Any of my 3 brands of External USB drives disconnect in 64 bit Windows 7 OS when transferring large files to USB from...

The problem I am having is the system will go into S3 sleep but it will not come back up. It reboots the system upon wake up and I get a (How do you want Windows to start?" window. S1 sleep seems to work fine. I have adjusted the network card power management and set all the power management...

My apologies if this has been posted elsewhere; if so, I hope someone will point me in the direction of the current thread. Since upgrading from Vista HP, I'm getting "consider replacing your battery" and "There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly" messages...

I performed a new 32-bit install of Windows 7. For some reason, the monitor shuts off when windows starts. I found that after Windows boots, if I hit the "sleep" button on my keyboard, allow the computer to sleep, then wake the computer, the monitor turns on and everything is fine. Why would...

I have a HP Pavilion (DV3-1124CA) laptop. After I did a fresh install the sound stops working after I resume from sleep mode. I have to restart the computer for sound to work again. I have the latest sound drivers and did the bios update but it didn't resolve the problem.

I've been running this mobo since the first RC came out. No issues with card or anything. I've been running a valid Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate RTM installation for almost 2 weeks now, no issues. It first happened this morning when I opened up my PC from sleep mode and noticed i had no network...

Here's the skinny: I downloaded the RC over the summer to try it out, alongside linux mint. I like it so much that I've decided to abandon the linux distro for now and let Windows 7 take over my whole hard drive. The one thing remaining before falling in love is the lack of standby mode. The...

I am attemtpting to install the win 64bit 7 RC on a brand new build. I am using a USB stick as my install media. The install boots, although it takes a VERY long time to get from when windows begins to load the setup files to the place where I have issues (about 15 - 20 minutes). Where the...

After trying every possible driver with "Load driver" option without success, seeing atleast 3 BSOD's (error 0x0000007b) and being in a general bad mood i finally made it into Windows 7. What i did was the folowing: 1.) i flashed the bios to the latest version (used a rather old one before...

I've looked on the forums but can't seem to find an answer to this. I finally got Windows 7 installed (took forever, thought it wasn't working, but left it for an afternoon and it eventually finished installing), but now I can't boot with my DVD burner connected. I just get the "Starting...

This post covers two major problems I have been having. I am currently running Windows 7 64 bit build 7057. However, some of my problems span back to when I was running Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit 1. Configuration Motherboard: Intel DX48BT2 Processor: Intel QX9770 Core 2 Extreme 3.2GHz Memory...

I currently have W7 RC in dual boot with XPSP2. My system runs a Geforce 7900GTX (with latest drivers) into two identical Viewsonic VP930 monitors, spanning the desktop with no problems. I have previously dual booted XPSP2 on this sytem with ubuntu and found that ubuntu would handle a spanned...
