C drive full on my Satellite U400-15B

Hi all

I'm not very skilled when it comes to PC if you need a little help, I get a message to warn me that my C drive is to achieve the capacity, even when I have not downloaded anything for a long time.

I explored the drive and each folder that is and there is nothing obvious to say why I used 147 GB of my 149 GB of capacity.

Its a portable 320 with 2 discs and the drive E is ok?
I did the usual temporary files, deleted, emptied the trash etc nothing works
Its a Satellite Toshiba U400-15 b If this is any help

Any ideas and help someone, I know you more

Hello

I can also recommend the CCleaner. It freeware tool which helps you to remove the temporal stored files and helps to clean and repair the registry very useful certainly...

  • Slow start on Vista Home Premium - Satellite U400-15B

    Hello

    I just bought Satellite U400-15B and am finding it takes very long to start Vista, I went into msconfig and disabled the things I don't use and stuff that I think is not necessary, but it is still having to wait ages before that I can use the laptop. I have enough RAM and processor speed, so I don't think that the specifications of the laptop are a problem

    Is there something that can be done on this slow start, any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think slow start or laptop slow operations depend on good configuration of the OS. I played with this last month and I am now convinced that Vista starts and runs on my laptop.

  • Must be replaced to the right arrow for a Satellite U400-15B

    Anyone know where I can get a replacement key for a Satellite U400-15B right arrow?

    As far as I know you can't buy replacement for a single key.
    What you can try is to put cheap keyboard. I saw today new keyboard for Satellite A300 for only 15 euro.

    The replacement of keyboard is not so complicated and you can do it alone.

  • Satellite U400-15B hangs on the Internet and make multimedia keys touch

    Hi all

    Had two problems with my U400-15B which I hope to solve.

    (1) the first problem is that I noticed that my internet sometimes seems to weigh on Internet Explorer, when using the Web site who have a couple of images e.t.c.
    It freezes but the rest of the laptop works very well - I want to say you can go to the start menu and other programs very well. However, if you open Microsoft Word, while this is the case, it will take a little more time to load than normal upward. Anyone know what this might be or how I can fix this problem?

    I use Vista Home Premium 32-bit and the laptop has 4 GB of RAM / thus, Intel Centrino 2 P7350 - is powerful enough.

    (2) the second problem is that when I press the 'sound' button, the white lights and the white bar above the touchpad become informed. When I press on it again once the lights come back but he is not mute. Only when the laptop is put in standby mode and then woke up once again, the key work properly. All the others work fine. Does anyone know what is the cause?

    I exchanged this laptop 3 times now and each of them did question (2), but surely this isn't normal.

    Any help or advice to address these problems are very much appreciated.

    Thank you

    (1) have you tested a different internet browser? For example, Firefox.
    I use Firefox for years and never had any problems with it. I like Firefox over Internet Explorer, it s faster and you will get a lot of modules useful for her ScrapBook.

    (2) have tried to update the BIOS? Look on the Toshiba site to find a newer version:

  • Satellite U400-15B screen is not bright, as it used to be

    Hello everyone

    I've had my U400-15B almost a year now and I noticed that the screen is not as bright as it used to be.
    The brightness level is at the maximum, but it seems a bit dull.

    Everyone has noticed this or is it just the LCD is not not very good?

    Hello

    > Brightness level is at the maximum, but it seems just a bit dull.
    So you're saying that you have already checked the FN + F7 key secret that increases the brightness of the screen?

    Well, maybe there's an FL inverter problem?
    The FL inverter is a small part that controls the brightness of the display.
    If this part starts bad run then you will see the screen as behind a thick fog.

    If it's a deal, then you should get in touch with a local service technician whu could replace this.

    PS; If you are running Windows 7, then you should go to Win 7 power management and need to check if the Win 7 didn t adjust the brightness of the display at the lower level in order to save the battery. Windows 7 supports a power saving mode that tries to save power

  • Satellite U400-15B - using recovery discs?

    Hi all

    Usually, I put my computers laptop back to factory after a few months. Usually short, faster and smoother and I store my music, videos, all on the external hard drive etc. HE made a copy of the recovery cd 2 theres, but I don't know how to reset to factory settings.

    Any help much appreciated.
    PS: It's Windows Vista

    Help, please

    Hello

    Using the Toshiba Recovery disk is very easy! If you have created the disk you only at the start of the first. So go in the BIOS boot menu, and then select the CD/DVD drive where you entered the front disc.

    The computer will now try to boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and installs back factory settings. Only a few clicks are needed and must wait a few minutes where you can drink a coffee for example. ;)

    The disc contains a picture of the factory settings, and that means it wipe the entire HARD disk and creates the partitions again. All the drivers and tools are automatically installed and your computer is ready for use again!

  • Satellite U400-15B - noisy fan after Toshiba WIndows 7 upgrade

    Hello world

    Question 1:
    Last week, I got my Windows 7 Upgrade DVD from Toshiba. I'm leaving has upgrade and after 5 hours, the upgrade was complete. I have encountered a problem that the automated driver installed on the endgame wrong on the update of the BIOS because it is trying to write the backup file of the BIOS on the DVD. After a lot of pressure on the keys, I managed to get the installation to carry and then did the BIOS manually updated later. This succeeded and it updated to V4.80.

    Since the update of the BIOS, the fan noise is much stronger. I noticed it's from the fan that is to the right of the envelope, I guess it is the CPU fan. The fan that blows air on the left side of aeration wors as usual. Any suggestions? Should I get the BIOS, if so, how can I restore from the file BIOS.bak WinPHlash is?

    Question 2:
    The Upgrade of Windows 7 Toshiba DVD, I am able to do a new install of Windows 7, IE not need to upgrade to Vista?

    Question 3:
    On the upgrade DVD Toshiab is automatically installs the drivers required after the upgrade to WIndows 7. He had 22 things to do on my own. Does anyone know how to get the list of the required drivers for this laptop that the upgrade DVD refers to?

    Thank you very much for your time in reading this.

    Have you tried to change method parameters in Toshiba's energy-saving cooling?
    Change it to optimized battery.
    It has reduced the activity of fan on my A300.

    You can find it in the advanced power settings.

  • Dysfunction of the SHIFT key on Satellite U400-15B

    My laptop suddenly started to behave strangely. Pressing Shift left moves the cursor move to the left of the screen, while the right shift causes a jump at the end of the next line?
    This means that I can not tape anything without the text becomes jumbled, as words for one place end up at the beginning of a line, if they are capitalized.

    I have an external keyboard and that works very well, without the error. I also did a full scan with Norton 360 and get clear.

    Any ideas?

    Mike Grantham

    Hello

    Did you check if your caps lock shift has not been activated?
    Try to use the FN + F10, Fn + F11 and FN + F12 key combination.

    After that, try again the Shift button and check how it works.

  • Change username on Satellite U400-15B

    I made a mistake with the laptop that my wife now uses

    Today I tried to help him change the settings of computer of mine to his name. This has simply resulted in a disaster now because when I turned it on it just displays the screen of Windows 7 on the screen and then frozen.

    Someone at - it the ideas of what to do to get it he must restart or have I have to return to the local computer shop please?

    In my opinion before giving your laptop to your wife reinstall the OS and give it to your wife with clean OS preinstalled and factory settings.
    After installation of recovery image that you can configure, username and password at this point, you can enter the good name and configure the laptop for your wife.

    Hello

    I think that it s just Vista it deliver s confused but thanks for no apparent reason.
    I would say; Reinstall the entire system using the recovery disk but before you do this, try to update simple applications:

    > C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\conf ig\machine.config
    It is a path to the MS. framework
    I think that there is a problem with this tool Ms.
    Just to update or reinstall!

    > "Tempro has stopped working".
    It is Toshiba tool. TEMPRO can be downloaded from the Toshiba page too.
    Reinstall it!

    > "Record Vista stopped working, it will close and inform you if a cure is found.
    You are 100% sure it s Vista and not recording Toshiba.
    As far as I know it must be an application called ToshibaRegistration.exe
    C:\Program Files\Toshiba\Registration\ToshibaRegistration.exe

    Run msconfig and uncheck the access path to the ToshibaRegistration.exe. Again, restart the laptop.

    However, if all of these tips will not work so simple OS reinstallation should help you!

    Hello
    I found the new driver for the Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset (driver 15.11.3.1576) on the website of intel, but I can't install it because it's not original Toshiba.
    I'm doing this because we're on the website of toshiba is pilot about a year.

    Does anyone have an idea how to install the latest driver for my laptop Satellite U400-112?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Generally, you can install the drivers Toshiba not only at your own risk.
    So if something will go wrong because of drivers Toshiba not then your warranty does not cover this.
    So this was a brief info about drivers not Toshiba.

    Now how do I install the driver;
    You can do so from the Device Manager. Go to the Device Manager. Choose the graphics card and to update the driver. Then a new window should open. Then, choose the Advanced installation procedure. Then choose don't search. I will choose the driver. Then point to the new Intel driver downloaded and applied.
