Cannot use wireless LAN with my Satellite Pro A100

Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-830
NETGEAR DG834G

Can not use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software. I don't know what that means and what software controls the connection. I have other laptop which is duly connected by wireless. I'm ok with wired connection.

I don't know much about the technical aspects and therefore ask for help so any reader can.
Thank you
Kris

> Can't use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software.

You may not use the ConfigFree for configuring Wlan but own Vista configuration options or the WLan configuration tool like Atheros Clint Utility or Intel ProSet utility. It depends on the WLan card which utility can be used.
Card Intel-> Intel ProSet utility; Card Atheros WLan-> Atheros Clint Utility

I guess the message + this connection is controlled by other software + appears because one of the above options controls the WLan.

  • Cannot use recovery DVD with my Satellite Pro A300D

    When I arrived at my laptop set up the way I like it, and I created a recovery disk which took the 2 DVD s.
    Then Vista started to slow down a lot so I decided to use the disc and everything started to go well then he asked for two drive and it came with an error message saying that the file was missing to complete the Setup program couldn't t.

    So now I can t get in the menu to restore it to the State when I had and the disks that I don t work.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello buddy

    It is badly located now. Please try to do it once more.
    If the same thing happen there is nothing you can do. I'm not an expert for this kind of thing, but I noticed the image recovery recovery DVD will be copied to the HARD second partition disk) first and then the installation of recovery will go from there.

    If the adaptation procedure is not done on the recovery of end procedure cannot be started.
    Sorry buddy. In my opinion, you can try to contact the nearest authorized maintainer and explain the situation. Take the DVD created as evidence and maybe they will order new media for free.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot use the recovery with my Satellite A100 disc

    I have the Satellite Pro A100 Series, when I boot it up it tells me "Windows could not starte because the following file is missing or corrupt" \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
    I tried to restart with the recovery disk in and you press F12 for the boot menu, select CD/DVD and nothing happens.

    Any help or ideas would be great.

    Nothing happens?
    If I understand you well you are not able to boot from the disk? Have you tried another disc? I mean it might be that the recovery disk is noisy or something else.

  • Cannot use the webcam on my Satellite Pro A200

    I have the Satellite Pro A200 series.

    My warranty (with clips) runs out on August 7. I had probs with my webcam since I bought this laptop two years ago. I keep says it's a matter of 'software' and not covered by the warranty. I did everything what I said to do... reformatted the hard drive three times, etc., etc. In any case... I use only this laptop when I go... I checked the other day and that's the problem, now, I recovered it. It works, I can see on the webcam, but no one can see me.

    I get this message that says "turn on camera"... but there is no way to turn it on and just what I do does not work. Is it not now a HARDWARE problem, with a built-in webcam If the camera does not illuminate? So it seems Staples should look like it. I'm back this week for another chance with them.

    But does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    Try this

    * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
    * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
    * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
    * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
    * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
    * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

    If it still does not work, then get an ASP to fix it.

    My Satellite Pro A10 never had a map of network wireless installed when new. I really want to add - it now to the machine in order to prolong his life, what kind of card need me?

    Hi robermd,

    If you are Satellite A10 was never equipped with wireless network card, you need to check if it s equipped of two antenna cables WLAN before you buy a wireless network card. The antennas are behind the plastic screen and usually under the keyboard you can find.

    Hello

    I put t know what problem you have, but check the status of the WIFI card in Device Manager. After this check, if the card is correctly enabled or disabled. If the map is successfully activated the laptop should be able to see WLAN network. If this isn't the case, I assume that there is a problem with the wireless network card.

    If you want to report us more on your problem.

  • Re: Cannot use remote control with my Satellite P20

    I just got hold of a PSP20E and the remote control (2 of them) does not work, the light blinks but that's all. When I try to set up in the Media Center settings, I get the message unable to detect the remote sensor.

    I was told by the previous owner it was working, the only thing I've done is to adapt to a new DVD (TEAC DV-W28E) player and loads of recommended Windows updates. The BIOS version is 1.6 and I'm under Win XP MCE (sp2). Any ideas would be welcome.
    Either by the way, I write a BIOS updated on a CD, or do I have to buy a floppy drive?

    Hello, Alan

    I used Satellite P20 over 2 years and I never noticed any problem with the small remote control. I guess you bought second-hand laptop and in my opinion, the first things you need to do is install the OS via recovery CD.

    When the laptop to factory settings, you must test the operation of the equipment, in particular the use remote control. Recovery image is designed so that everything should work. If this isn't the case, it may be just because of a malfunction of the equipment. As I've already said I used this laptop long enough and never noticed any problems.

    To be honest I didn t make updates because the BONE was very well set up. As I said, you can test it with recovery image.

    The BIOS update you need floppy drive.

  • Satellite Pro A100 becomes warm while playing a game

    I had a problem for some time with the Satellite Pro A100 when I play games.

    I'm glitchy spells during the game, sometimes with the fan runs much and the laptop is very hot.

    Is there something I can do?

    Hello

    As you've probably experienced peripheral internally as CPU and GPU have to work with the best performance all in game. This leads to higher heat dissipation.
    If fans and the internal vents are clogged then the CPU and the GPU may not be cooled properly and may lead to overheating

    What can you do? You can ensure that your vents are free of dust and debris, and that air can circulate properly.
    I would recommend so clean the fans with a jet of compressed air. These aerosols can be ordered from dealers different computer/laptop.

    In addition, don t use the laptop in the bet, couch or on the knees because the cooling fans would be stuck and this would lead to a higher temperature.

  • Satellite Pro A100 carpet * dvd uj - 841 s write at very slow speed

    Hello.

    The carpet * a dvd multi drive uj - 841 s that came with my satellite pro a100 written on very slow DVD. Firmware 1.50
    I use good philips and kodak media (both rated 16 X).

    now, I know that the drive is only rated at 8 X max. But I can't even reach 6 X.

    A firmware update would solve this?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, some burning applications control the burning speed to obtain the best possible results from burning
    As you probably n t know the speed of combustion higher risk of burn errors
    I burn my DVD only using a single 1 x speed.

    Then I can be sure that all DVD players would be able to play the burned DVD.

  • Satellite PRO A100 - failure of wireless connectivity

    Hello world

    I have a problem to connect to my router wireless from a Satellite PRO A100 XP pro with integrated Atheros Wlan. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be welcome.

    The laptop can see the wireless network and says it is connected, if I ask it to connect, but fails to get an IP by DHCP - leaving a 169. 254.x.y address and "limited connectivity or no network. I tried the button fix but to no avail. If I used a static IP address on the same subnet as the router and gateway ping request times out. Successful ping 127.0.0.1 and the IP address of the host.

    Another PC can connect to the wireless router.
    The firewall on the laptop is disabled.
    The wired LAN works well.
    I tried to connect to two different (the two Linksys) wireless routers without success.
    I used different encryption configurations, including none.

    Any thoughts on how to proceed?

    Have you tried to reboot your router and check the WLAN connectivity again?

  • Satellite Pro A100 - cannot update driver ATI

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my graphics ATI Mobility Radeon x 1600 card card. I can't update to the latest driver from the ATI. The program says that it can not install on my system - contact company for the most recent driver. But the one that is provided by Toshiba is almost two years!
    It all started with, that I could not run FIFA 2009... even if it clearly States in EA own manual that this graphics card is supported! But I do not see everything in the game - except the players. Only their shadows are visible...

    I know it's a lot, but I'm pulling the hair here!

    HEEELP!

    BTW: my system: Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-PSAACE - Core2Duo 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 120 GB of HARD drive Windows XP Pro.

    I really wonder that many people do not understand why the laptop manufacturers don't offer drivers for graphics cards so often.
    Each laptop manufacturer deals with design, hardware components and drivers used for the operation of the equipment. On laptops, hardware components are miniaturized and placed close to each other. This means that the heat and is a common problem for the designers of the laptop.

    Each computer laptop (hardware, drivers, BIOS, cooling system) is designed to operate in optimal conditions. If you want the new driver that can force a graphics card to run on the maximum limit, the result will be more heat. More heat means more risk for damaging hardware and overheating.

    So to laptops, there are limits that must and should be respected. Graphics card manufacturers cannot just offer new drivers for laptops and be responsible for the damage. When some owner of the laptop is damage graphics card because of the driver who should be responsible? ATI or Toshiba?

    For this reason, graphics card manufacturers say clearly: If you want the new driver laptop computer contact the manufacturer. Manufacturers must also protect the customer s of material and be careful with this stuff.

    So I think you see how it works and the display driver update will be probably endless discussion on each laptop computers forum.

    Good luck!
