Win 7 Pro x64
Acrobat and Firefox don't play nice. Firefox at least now puts it in "unlabeled containers". Removing the "containers" restores Firefox's operation. This happened in XP too.
I haven't been able to get an external modem to install.
Win 7 Pro doesn't like some USB serial servers.
USB is particually wierd with "Sleep and charge ports"
Initial wireless connectivity is particularly bad. Had ICONs in the system tray that said I wasn't connected, but I was. It's slow conncing wireless from sleep. I had to make a tweek to make wireless work properly. I feel I should not have been the person to develop the solution on my own. I published my solution in "MicroSoft Tech Net".
Toshiba Hardware, Toshiba support, Toshiba reliability, Toshiba honesty and Toshiba additude is really bad. It took like 4 months and three trys to replace a keyboard and the left-click key. First time: There is nothing wrong; Second time: replaced left-click and keyboard (replaced it with a broken one) (sent them a pic of a finger pushing on the spots that would not work); Third time: (sent pics again - problem moved to 3 keys in stead of 1); said it had a video problem and they wanted to reformat the drive. I said NO. I loaded the latest drivers from NVIDA and it works fine. Every time I had to send it immediately back, I had to wait for another box.
Toshiba told me that they could put a backlit KB in my machine for $275 twice. They then told me that they could only replace with like components. I put a backlit KB in for like $55 and it doesn't work. I can get no power to the KB power connector. I SUSPECT it's a EEPROM enabled option (KBLED). I had the new keyboard basically within a day and installed within 15 minutes. Toshiba parts won't pay for return postage on defective items.
The machine isn't bad, but it looks like it's not upgradeable in any form. The service center I ordered the parts from said that they are not allowed to work on my series.
The machine was in repair for so long, I wasn't able to exercise the Windows warranty for the wireless issue.
The computer isn't bad, but the quality of service is at the bottom. They just wanted the unit in and out. Initially, they would not fix a key that was depressed at least 1 mm at rest because it wasn't DEFECTIVE. They ship it back because their tests showed that the keyboard was fine. They didn't understand "The space key doesn't work when you press it on the front edge". They could not call. I wasn't allowed to talk to a tech. I had to send a picture of a finger pressing the space key.
works very well actually, and has blocked a bunch of trojans over the past year...
