• Cannot read DVD on Satellite Pro 4600 movies

  Hello

  After a clean install of Win2K on Satellite Pro 4600 I am unable to play any DVD movie. I am able to access the data of the DVD discs. The error message is:

  "There is not Windows 2000 compatible compatible dvd decoder installed on this system."

  I was able to play DVDs when running Windows XP.

  I searched online and on these forums for an update of the software for my DVD player (model SD-C2402) but have been unable to find one. I should be grateful if you would be pointing in the right direction.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I have good experiences with VLC media player. Try to use it.
  Back to your problem. I think you need to MPEG2decoder. Googled around and look for any W2K codec pack. After installing it, I'm sure that everything will work properly and you will be able to watch DVD movies.

  As I wrote already test VLC media player. It's really good.

• Cannot read DVD on Satellite L20

  When I insert a DVD, the DVD does start up, sometimes changes the menu of the DVD, but when I start as a movie, I get a Microsoft error message. When the report is sent, I subsequently have a message that something is wrong with the filter... Does anyone have a solution for this? The driver for my DVD/CD-ROM drive is the standard driver from Microsoft.
  TNX,
  Tom

  Hello

  I also recommend check if this problem occurs on different DVD players.
  The WinDVD must be preinstalled on the Toshiba laptop. Check it out.
  Power DVD is also a very good program to watch DVD

• Satellite Pro 2100: TEAC CD drive problem - cannot access CDs

  Hey

  I got my Satellite Pro 2100 for another few years.
  So far it has worked well.
  However, now the cd player is always displayed the yellow light just after trying to load a cd, followed a quiet thump. This means that I can not access the content of the cd (audio or data).

  The drive is still recognized by Device Manager, and I'm told it works well - I know better however, it most certainly isn't! the drive will still appear in my computer, and I can always try and discover the contents of the cd inserted, which is always empty!

  Ant help or advice would be most appreciated, because I really want to re-preparation of the system!

  Hi Simon

  The satellite Pro 2100 is an oldie ;) and I guess that you pointed out the CD/DVD drive all the time long.
  I would not be surprised if this player is dead. For me, it looks like the end of the device.

  Until it must be said that I'm afraid you need to replace the CD/DVD drive with a new m.

  Best regards

• Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

  my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

  Hello

  I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
  In this case, you need additional codecs.
  This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
  Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

  Good luck

• A new DVD burner for satellite pro 2100

  Ive got a satellite pro 2100 and I want to change the recorder to a dvd burner. is there a template I can get which will be a swap of right for in-house or will I need an external dvd burner? Thank you.

  HI Jamie,

  DVD writers usually come in two varieties, IDE usually designates those intended for 'slimline' and Office Tower systems which are generally mounted in laptops.

  The physical form of the player is usually constant models (in this case Toshiba use different brands in their notebooks). The device will have various plastic components fittings attached to it which will need tro be transferred to your new unit and have threaded metal accessories which are used to secure the unit to the laptop. These must also be transferred to the new unit.

  You also need device drivers dedicated to this new unit that can are provided on a CD or even be downloaded on the website of unit manufacturers.

• For Satellite Pro 2100 DVD burner?

  I have a Satellite Pro 2100 which has a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and I would like to upgrade to a DVD burner but don't want an external. Could someone tell me which drive is compatible with the model number and where I can get hold of one? Can I get a Toshiba direct? Nowhere would really suit me I need to get one, but just don't know what I can and can not use! Thank you.

  Hi Jamie

  Unfortunately, he was unable for me to find this DVD burner, but if you want to update or change some parts of your laptop the best way is to ask ASP for compatible devices and supported.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro 2100 - Exchange optical drive

  Hello!

  I m a proud owner of a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 (1.9 GH). Already done HDD Upgrade (as already said) of 250 GB and 512 MB RAM upgrade.
  Now, I want to upgrade the DVD-ROM in a DVD burner. I heard the fact, slimline drives are jumperset by the firmware, not the real riders.

  Can someone tell me weather I need to buy a "rider" master drive or a slave - drive "rider"? Or is it possible to replace the drive with a cable-select-disk?

  Toshiba-readers are always 'closed' to enter computers laptop toshiba? All the optics of toshiba notebooks readers bridge the same?
  Would be happy to receive some answers :-)

  L0nestar

  Hello Lonestar

  AFAIK all optical disk drives cannot be used with all portable models. There must be a difference with assignment of pins. Because of this, you must use only compatible disks. I have the same info as you. All readers are already "closed."

  I checked the user s manuals document. There are several compatible with your model of laptop sides, but none of them is DVD burner. It can be really hard to find the compatible DVD burner.

• Satellite Pro 2100: booting from a CD are works not

  Hello

  In our company, we use BartPE boot disk to get on the network of the company, from which we can then use Norton Ghost to the image of our PCs and laptops. It works really well. However, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 who refuses to read any bootable CD. Will TRY to read the disc, it simply cannot.

  I can hear it try over and over again, but it just doesn't work. I tried to write by using different media and different CD burners, ranging down to write at a speed of 8 x, but nothing helped. Is there a problem known with the reading of the CD - Rs on this beach or model?

  Tim.

  Hello

  To boot from the CD, you can press the C key immediately after starting the laptop.
  In addition, it would be very interesting to know if it is also not possible to boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

• Satellite Pro 2100 jumps down and now demand HARD drive password

  Hello world

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100. I have some problems when you access the Internet; When I start the Internet, there is no problem, but when MSN messenger start the laptop goes down and I have to turn off manually the laptop. This would be a kind of firewall?

  Last Sunday, this problem occurred when using Skype; But now the computer has completely collapsed. The system first asked "inserting a disc system. I didn't know what they meant, so I turned off the computer a few times manually to see if it would disappear.

  When I turn on the laptop, Windows will not start upward and the system asks a black screen "the password HARD drive". Does anyone know what this means and where I can find it? And means that my laptop is dead, or am I able to fix? Can someone help me?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I know, it's the HARD drive password cannot be deleted.
  If the HARD drive password has been activated and you don t know the password for the HARD drive, then you will not be able to use the HARD drive more. :(

• Satellite Pro 2100 is really really slow running

  I have a satellite pro 2100 I killed a friend.
  He said his brother gave him and that he had no idea what was wrong because he didn't have a chance to watch it.

  I put windows xp pro top and used the bottom of the laptop pro license key.

  but the laptop is really really slow.
  It may take up to 5 minutes for nothing I click to open up.

  the strange thing is the laptop works fine in safe mode, can open things like I should.

  but in normal windows mode, it slows down to a crawl and even crashes.

  I have trie all to my knowledge.
  I even uninstalled and turn off the graphics drive that I thought that he maybe, but he always does.

  I tried multiple copies different from xp pro and even tried a copy of vista, but still the same.

  He had 2 different lots of tried in ram, 2 sticks was new aswel. I tried 3 different hard drives and still the same.

  My thoughts are that the integrated graphics card is exhausted.

  can anyone else confirm this? Certainly this isn't a software issue because I tried a few different copies of xp and vista. IM about to bin it now.

  > anyone can confirm this?
  Don t think someone could confirm everything that is related to a malfunction of the equipment.
  Here in the forum, we can talk about problems and makers of disorders, but no one will be able to say with certainty what's going wrong here.

  First laptop computer is an oldie.
  The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 CPU, isn t a up to date CPU and in my opinion, that don't expect too much performance.

  I put t know how this camera supports memory but everything below 1 GB of Ram would be good enough to the smooth running of the laptop.

  However, given that the unit works much faster saving mode, I guess there must be a hardware related problem.

• Need to find the cmos on Satellite Pro 2100 battery

  I have a laptop that is not keep date/time settings and I need to identify the laptop to find the correct instructions to take apart.

  The brand is a Satellite Pro SP2100, model PS210E006P9-EN number, but I can't find this brand/model on the Toshiba site. The closest I can find is Satellite 2400-103, part number: PS240 - T 014, 1, that seems identical.

  I tried to use the identify tool of Toshiba to detect what is the laptop, but that fails to provide results.

  I also need to find out what food is for this unit as the current is defective and exposed wires.

  The adapter of current with her is PA3201U-1ACA, the problem is that this card has another card on the end to fit the power plug to the back of the laptop. The connector at the end of PA3201U is too thin to fit.

  Hello

  This laptop is very old and the name of this machine is: Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E

  > I have a laptop that is not keep date/time settings and I need to identify the laptop to find the correct instructions to take apart.

  Usually the CMOS battery can be charged. You must connect the power adapter and the laptop must be powered for about 12-14 hours.

• Satellite Pro 2100: is it possible to upgrade memory 1 GB?

  Hi sat 2100 and looking at 1 GB but laptop reconises only 512 meg and wont work at all with 2 x 512.
  Would be a bios update help?

  Thank you
  Steve

  Hello

  According to this site about Satellite Pro 2100 memory, the laptop supports 512 MB max.
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7444&ft=m&St=3

  It is the maximum value that can be used in the notebook.
  The BIOS will not help because it is a hardware limitation of motherboard!

• Need new driver NVIDIA for my Satellite Pro 2100

  Hello

  Anyone know if there is a newer version of the NVIDIA graphics driver that comes with the satellite pro 2100? I looked on the Toshiba downloads section and on the NVIDIA site, I have not had any look to find everything. They simply stopped updating this driver?

  Any help will be thank you very much and I do a search before posting, but haven't found anything.

  Thank you

  Hello Steve

  Satellite Pro 2100 is fairly old unit. It is about 6 years old. Graphics card is NVidia GeForce4 420Go with 16 MB of memory only. Now the question: do you really want that Toshiba should support unit of 6 years with the latest NVIDIA driver? Please don't be crazy on me, but I really don't understand what you expect.

  A more interesting question to me is: for what purpose you need new driver? You want to use with newer games, or maybe you some graphic problems watching movies DSVD?
