354023 2006-10-08 12:43:00 Have you seen the TOSHIBA program called ConfigFree for Laptops with WI-FI, looks like a RADAR showing WI-FI Access Points,

its only made for Toshiba Laptops Only .



You ask:



Can I buy this software?



Per Toshiba site .

No, this software is only available with selected Toshiba notebook models . Users are able to download the ConfigFree software or any upgrade version for use on selected Toshiba notebooks, including some models, which did not originally ship with the software .





WELL , I did it . (It worked for me on a HP Pavilion ze2800 series and a Dell Latitude C-600) .



For those of us that dont have Toshiba laptops it can be made to run on other Laptop Manufacture Models too .



DOWNLOAD ConfigFree

354025 2006-10-25 01:51:00 Where do i go in my files after installing Configfree to find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->TOSHIBA Merny (8085)
354026 2006-10-25 01:54:00 It's in the registry, where only the bravest tread. (lightly). Back-ups up to date? Use regedit R2x1 (4628)
354027 2006-10-25 02:00:00 can you please explain to me as to what the bravest tread is? Merny (8085)
354028 2006-10-25 02:03:00 If you are not brave (or don't want to demonstrate your valour) keep out of this here registry, it may be going to bite you right in the data. R2x1 (4628)

354030 2007-09-02 09:10:00 Hi,

I use configfree (came supplied) on all 3 tosh laptops, great, especially when travelling, but.......has anyone managed to install it on Vista? I just bought a Asus R2H for portability and its got Vista on it.....don't like Vista anyway and it just will not connect to any network! Before I rebuild it to XP Tablet i thought I would ask about configfree
