  Hello

  It is really strange that your laptop works on this path. I sure you are the first person who sends us a report about the slow speed of LAN Mr. it is really strange.

  Of course we don t know anything about your router, the internet connection, the configuration of the OS, but what you should try is to also test with another router. Who knows what is the problem.

  In the worst cases, please contact your local dealer, explain your problem and see what we can do about it.

• Satellite C855-2GX - touchpad is lagging while doing somehting that need RAM

  Hey all :)

  I have a toshiba Satellite C855-2gx
  My problems touchpad lag so much if I install a software or I'm doing something which need to ram (games, defragmentation)

  There is no solution for my problem please :'(

  and sometimes the shift of the pc (keyboard and mouse do not work)

  Sometimes, I noticed the same on machines with low performance. It happens when the drive is extremely busy and portable needs performance for some intensive like defragmentation operations or antivirus scan.

  What you can do about it? In General, you can improve Ram to increase performance of s for laptop and also you can optimize the preinstalled operating system. With optimize I mean you can disable all unnecessary applications and the boot process for your laptop will take care with less background process.
  Also disable the Windows automatic update installation. Use the option check for updates but let me choose...

  I think that you need to upgrade RAM. If you need advice or help with this let us know.

• Question about the new Yoga 10 HD +.

  Hello

  A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD + that I hope you can answer.

  I bought the former model, last year. Love the design and long battery life, but a few major questions made me return.

  • Somewhere that I've read that it can not read NTFS on USB so I guess that's the same thing with a NTFS formatted microSD card?
  • Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
  • Anyone who has questions about the audio via bluetooth?
    (I know that BT is not exactly High End HiFi but the old 10 Yoga for some obscure reason - most likely a driver problem which nobody cared to fix - rang * very * worst with visibly distortion while both my phone and a Tablet noname cheap I have zero about fidelity - any of my devices bluetooth audio) I tried aptX or not)

  So to avoid buying it back it also I really I would like to see if I can get my questions answered before buy you.

  While I love the form factor and long term issues above are only two Mayor dealbreakers for me. Bad audio quality = no joy listen to spotify, local etc. MP3s. not of NTFS or exFAT = some great movies.

  My old noname android Tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious it may be, or I should watch the competition and will be form factor and battery LIFE.

  Thanks in advance.

  EDIT:

  If it does not support NTFS or exFAT on microSD card have someone at - he tried ext3 or ext4?

  I mean with Linux Android root, it should be a no-brainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where it * might * have some trouble with Microsoft.

  I used a USB through a USB OTG cable. NTFS or exFAT have been recognized by the Tablet PC. FAT32 is seems to be the preference.

• Question of battery charge on the new Satellite C50t-A-10J

  I have a new Satellite C50t-A-10J that has intermittent load problems. Sometimes it charges ok sometimes it says connected does not support. When no current charging if I click on the battery icon supported starts and continues ok.

  Does anyone know of a more automatic solution? I read on similar problem solved by uninstalling and then reinstalling the Microsoft ACPI battery compatible control method in Device Manager but is reluctant to try because the computer is new.

  I can of course go back to the retailer, but thought I'd post just in case someone had a similar solution.

  Thank you

  Hi Geoff

  I guess this isn't problem in the system.
  It seems that your battery is defective and I recommend to contact the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country to get a battery replacement.

• Question about password on the new Satellite A105 HARD drive

  I am the owner of a Satellite A105 and the hard drive was failing. I got a new hard drive but before I gave up on the current one I decided to wipe it clean and a few tools to see if it was a way to recover.

  Well, when wiping clean it restarts and then he showed me a message saying "password type of HARD drive internal" or something similar. I do not know the password so I can't use the hard disk more (or is there a way to reset the password?), but before you install the new hard drive I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password.

  I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive? The one I have is brand new, and I want to know if I plug it in and from the laptop are all I have to do?

  Hello

  If the HARD drive password has been activated and you don t usually know this password then the HARD drive is locked and can no longer be used.
  It s simply not accessible and it s not possible to remove this password.

  > I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password. I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive?
  I think that he should t be any problem with a new HARD drive.
  As I said the password is stored in the sector specials on the HARD drive. The old password should not exist on the new HARD drive (if the password has not been set).

• Only the C partition on the new Satellite C50-B-14Z

  Hello

  I'm not an experienced user, but I'll do my best to explain the problem.

  I bought Toshiba Satellite C50-B-14Z with 8.1 installed Windows, and when starting the system, I noticed that there is only one partition of hard drive, the C partition. When you enter the disk management, I see there are 4 basic partitions already (500 GB disk):

  -Recovery - 1 GB
  -EFI system - 100 MB
  -Recovery - 10.97 GB
  -C (boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition) - 453,57 GB

  They are all primary partitions, and I read on the forums that you can have only 4 those primary, so I can't add one more to the D partition, I would like to have.
  Possibility that I offered in "actions" is to create a virtual hard drive, but I guess that is not the same thing.
  I also read that you can create new partition if you have "unallocated" space (partition), but all 4 before indicated are those primary and not affected.

  Then, the next opportunity that I read on is to do a right-click on C and "reduce volume", and then create new partition from the rest of the space (if I understand it is good), but then I read in Windows Help:
  "When you shrink a partition, all regular files are automatically transferred to the disk to create the new unallocated space. There is no need to reformat the drive to shrink the partition. » ... "If the partition is a raw partition (that is, a lack of a file system) that contains data (for example, a database file)", reducing the partition may destroy the data. ""

  Normally, I have never tested a large part with the C partition, and now I don't know if I would destroy some system files while doing this "shrinkage" and I don't have the CD installation for the system, so I can't fix it if I ruin something.

  Please advise...

  [So the next opportunity I haven't read is to do a right-click on C and "reduce volume", and then create new partition from the rest of the space (if I understand it right), FONTS] [/ COLOR]

  Yes, this is the right way to have more than one partition. You can define what capacity should partition C and any free space can be "convert" to the D partition.

  One last thing: don't forget to create a recovery (DVD or USB) media. It is very important to have recovery image back-up.

• Installation of antivirus on the new Satellite L50B

  Toshiba Hello Forum
  I need to install kaspersky internet security 2015 (i've got the third license) on my new laptop, but there are already installed (but not yet configured) McAfee

  How do you propose to do?
  do I need to uninstall McAfee before you begin to install kaspersky?
  I read [former position | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=48993] who's talking about problem of uninstalling McAfee...

  THX and sorry for my English.

  So I use Avira before Avira installation I delete originally preinstalled application antivirtus. I recommend you do the same thing.
  On my new Satellite, I removed McAffe without any problem using the option Uninstall in Control Panel > programs and features.

  After restarting the laptop installed Kaspersky and I'm sure that everything will be OK.

• Re: Bought new Satellite C855-29N free 6 months offer cinema

  Hi all

  He had an offer with this laptop, 6 months free movie tickets

  now when I click on the site link is dead,
  Can someone point me in the right direction that I can not find email address for Toshiba.

  Try to contact the closest service provider and ask for help. They are in touch with Toshiba seat in your country and maybe they can help you with this.

  Out of curiosity, but where do you come from?

• Installation of Windows XP Home edition on the new Satellite Pro L550

  Hello

  I have a new satellite Pro L550 and need to downgrade to XP. If I want to go back to Windows 7 that I can in the future?

  Thank you, Lisa

  Hello Lista

  In my opinion you should look forward and begin using the new Windows7 operating system. It is really good OS, well done and runs with good performance on Toshiba laptops.
  Please note that you have most recent laptop with newer hardware model designed for standards of Win7.
  Yes, you can install Win7 when you want.

  Win7 is fully supported and you won't have any problems with it.
  To return to Windows XP edition family has no much sense to me, except to use some old software designed for Windows XP Home edition only.

  Anyway, what model of laptop you have exactly (L550-xxx)?

• Nothing works without problem on my new Satellite C855-12J

  Hello

  A few days ago, I bought (in-store) laptop Toshiba Satellite C855-12J.
  Parameters:
  -Win 7 64 bit,
  -Intel Pentium 2.2 GHz B960,
  -AMD Radeon 7610M 1 GB.
  -4 GB of RAM,
  -500 GB HARD drive,
  -internet 24Mbps (provider: NETIA).
  -McAfee antivirus (license 1 month).

  After you have installed all the drivers, programs and updates, I saw one thing: nothing runs smoothly, especially the browsers (Opera, IE). But it's not the worst:

  -Games (World of Tanks, League of Legends, CS 1.6, CS: Condition Zero) are late development, but unusual way: there are normal report, stable fps (LoL - 60 frames per second), but suddenly, at random times (more often in teamfights), the game freezes for 1-3 seconds. There are also sound bug in games: even if there is no frost, voice is often trolling ("D-d-d-d-d-doublek-k-k-k-k-kill"). Of course I tried to run all the games in the graphics settings lower.

  -The movies I watch is also very bad also. Very often the screen is freezig for 1-3 seconds, but here its lights up normally. It happens more often in the web players, played movies form HARD drive works a little better.

  Now... What I tried to?
  -installed Adobe stuff - plugins, Activex, Shockweave,
  -installed DirectX 11 and Windows 7 codec pack,
  -tried to run games without background processes,
  -installed upgrading the BIOS (announced by Toshiba TEMPRO),
  -try another internet configuration - WiFi and LAN.

  I downloaded the update - DriverMax. It shows a lot to update drivers, while TEMPRO is silent:
  -GPU,
  -Synaptics driver SMBus by Synaptics compatible with Intel (r) 7 series/C216 Chipset Family SMBus Host Controller - 1E22,.
  -LPC Interface Controller by BYD COMPANY LIMITED compatible with Intel (r) Express Chipset LPC Controller HM76 - 1E59,.
  -PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge (filtered Matrox) of Matrox Graphics Inc. compatible with Xeon E3-1200/2nd generation Intel (r) Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port - 0101.
  d ' others for sound, usb ports, etc.
  Should I try? I'm afraid, is not sure. I need your advice.

  I spend ~ $ 550 on this laptop and I cannot watch movies smoothly or play old and low end games. I know that my hardware is not perfect, but my friends play these games on cell phones really worse and makes me feel angry.

  Waiting for relief,
  OverpoweredCucumber.

  > After you have installed all the drivers, programs and updates, I saw one thing: nothing runs smoothly, especially the browsers (Opera, IE). But it's not the worst:

  The books are already pre-installed and configured for the installation of the driver is not necessary

  Perhaps this happens because the CPU is much sought and the process of the (game) stucks for a few seconds

• Windows 7 does not start on the new Satellite C660-195

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C660-195 with Windows 7 pre-installed.

  This morning I turned on it and it came with a black box with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe in it. This box then disappeared and Startup Repair kicked. He then told me that Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. The notice were to remove any device that had recently been attached to the laptop (such as a webcam or music device) but I did not install a hardware or devices. I clicked finish and stop you the laptop.

  I lit it again and it's the same thing (new!)

  A forum would suggest trying the following: click on the link 'Show advanced options of the system and support recovery' who asked me to choose the configuration of my keyboard, but then when I do & click then it tells me "you must register to access system recovery options" I am never given the option connect!

  When using the F8 advanced boot options I'm still not able to solve this problem. The same thing (see above) that happens when I try to start in all security modes, last good known Configuration (Advanced), debug mode, start Windows normally etc. I don't understand it.

  Looking for other forums, they suggested dΘplaτant zero while running and then one selects Windows 7 to restore the laptop to its factory settings, but the same thing happens - it shows just the black screen with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe launched then startup repair, that does not solve the problem.

  I don't have a disc of windows 7 to restore since I only bought the laptop 6 days ago and didn't have time to do a still. In addition, the laptop must have the restoration on his hard drive, but I can't access it to restore windows.

  I'm just a home user understand all technical talk. Please can someone help me?

  Hello

  Sorry to hear you I have this problem. The fact is that the new laptops come with only HARD drive recovery image and not with recovery DVDs. What you can try now is to install the recovery image using HARD drive recovery facility.
  If this works you need out of the box again.

  Please do it following the instructions in this document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

• A few questions about the feature Satellite A300D - 14 p

  I have the model Satellite A300D - 14 p a month. 2-year warranty. I have a few questions and ask for help and suggestions I have to do?

  * My quality of the camera * is VERY poor, with a lot of light on, I can get image quality generally ok. Inside, next to turned on the two options, night mode, or backlight compensation, I can hardly see my face, very dark and very bad quality. Second problem, it is a blue led light, it is annoying because half of the picture is always blue, somehow made light photo half which is always blue:(((j'ai utilisé modèle portable L300 série (moins cher que le mien) with the same device and that blue light, it works perfectly :()

  * Autonomy and start up Vista OS *? In little 1.5 hour energy saving mode? Surf train and nothing else... I asked Toshiba support here in Serbia in this respect and they told me that it is normal and measure the battery life (2,... h) by specifications, this is when my screen is off and computer do nothing? They also said that starting normal time for Vista OS is maybe more around 1.45 min?

  If I install win XP is it possible to get longer battery life?

  I have to go in service Toshiba or what?

  Thank you very much and sorry if I'm boring :)))

  Nikola

  Hay Nikola

  You are not boring at all and welcome to this forum.

  I don't know where to start. ;).

  I have Satellite A300-1LI in front of me and I use it about a month now. Startup time is very interesting theme and with a good configuration, you can optimize and make much shorter as with factory setting. Please read a very interesting thread about it under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
  Do the same with your Satellite and I hope that you will be satisfied.

  Battery operating time? I have to say that information about two hours are realistic and I can confirm that. The same thing on my Satellite. But to be honest for mobile computing, it's OK. I've changed several notebooks and just business laptop Tecra had to linger battery operation. What you can do is check the Toshiba support site and look for info on the more powerful battery. I don't know, but you can use the battery (Li-ion, 9 cell, 6000mAh).

  On cam, I can't say much. It works on my Satellite on OK and I am satisfied. OK quality is not the same as for integrated cam but good external webcams it's OK.
  If you are not satisfied with trying to speak with the nearest service or try to compare it with some other Satellite by your local dealer.

  If Nikola, if you have more questions please post again.

• Re: Keyboard issue on the new Satellite P870

  I bought a portable Satellite P870 last week, I found the function do not work, especially for the backlit keyboard function key, I tried almost everything, but doesn't help t, only the brightness and volume can be adjust.

  I wonder if there is an update of facilities or for my laptop error checking, maybe I am missing some files of utilities Toshiba?

  Hello

  Do you use your new Satellite phone with original operating system preinstalled that you got with it?

  Have you noticed these problems since the first day or later?
  What you can try is to reinstall extra package from Toshiba. This package contains several tools and one of them is utility of flash cards.

  Latest version, you can find on the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
