Toshiba Satellite P205-S6287 Notebook PC - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

same info requested by me to asist-is this a password or a key for a program request.

when you plug the ac plug in do not have the unit on. then turn unit on to see if all is well with the touchpad area.

delete wireless connections and reboot,insure you do not have the wired ehternet cable also installed, and insure that wireless switch is off as well for now. when system reboots, turn on the wireless switch and see if the program for IP is corrected.

what type of card inserted PCMCIA or a camera type card?

cable plug possible defective, if possible plug into another computer and see if error occurs. since you did not state OS go into the Device Manager and insure 'network adapter' has driver installed and working. Is there an external media hooked up?

from the information supplied, and being a Toshiba owner, new units are shipped with a trial version of MS Office. When the key ID numbers are requested you have exhausted the amount of time you can use the program contents for free. Now you must register/buy the product. If you purchased the retail version-the key is on the bck of the sleeve the CD/DVD came in.

Before start up option,you will find a f2 for settings on bios go there be fast and carefully.
click on wireless and enable it.
If you have problems with that,go on control panel, system,device manager, and click on wireless, go with troubleshooting.if you have a X on some components click to enable it and your computer need restart.try to clear all X buttons bu device manager and clean disk after that.
Should be good. If you have more questions email me on [email protected]
Good luck!

If you have a start up message "click f2 for settings"
try to click on that but you need to be fast with that.
That's a Bios system and take a look whats enabled whats disabled.click on disable link and try enable it but if you have more questions email me on [email protected] to figure out together cause I have done that by myself.
You need to restart your computer again and should be good and ready for installation.
Good luck!

Sorry but i think your stuck, It may be possible to get an after market cardbus adapter for it though.

ya vista have some problems go to your internet option and download manually the latest update of your webcam .this may be a problem because u are using latest version of yahoo but your web cam do not support it or either add xp also in ur laptop.

If you actively set Restore Points.. You can attempt to fix by restoring to a previous date..
Also Check Device Manager to See if any errors are in there..

Boot into Safe Mode... Do this by repeatedly pressing the F8 key upon bootup... you will come to a screen with bootup choices... choose boot to safe mode (the first choice)
then go to your Ad/Remove Programs from the control panel.. and proceed to uninstall... then reboot Normally..

Looks like you need to get a replacement touchpad. If its still under warranty then you can avail it to get a new touchpad. Otherwise you will have to shell out around 100$

Hi

Check your computer for any programs that may be using your web cam.

For Example Photo Software Video Software

You may need to remove the drives and software for the Web Cam and then reboot and re install the software. This should fix the problem.

Let me know if you need more help.

Hi

I would boot into Safe Mode and run this utility to check your registry and startup.

OR

You can try the original OS cd and repair the installation of the OS.

Last Resort

If that does not work then see if you can roll your computer back to a date prior to the problem starting.

you should re format the hard disk to partition it

Dullahban,

The key functions along the top of the keyboard can not be changed. They are preset and all of that model function the same.

i agree with kykeaton
we need more info on the problem

A Vista Upgrade from XP could cause problems, and even the one you describe, but not an "update" usually. But then again, if when it shuts itself down, if you have to press the power button twice to get it to start back up, I would say that the processor is overheating (in which case the system does this to keep from frying the CPU). If that's the case, a cleaning of the fan and heat sync could fix the problem. You could also run temperature monitoring software (plenty are available for free trials).
As always more detailed information on this issue you are having would help.
Good luck.
