• ChkDsk does not work properly under Vista

  On Toshiba Satellite laptop computer Windows Vista, I have planned a Check Disk to run after reboot. I checked the two boxes (automacticly repair files and scan/repair bad sectors). I restarted the laptop and he appeared as chkdsk would run ok, because I saw this message:

  checking file system on C:

  The type of ntfs file system

  a disk check was schduled

  Press any key to cancel

  I do not press any key to cancel. But within 5 seconds to start, he said something like: "the disc is OK", then finished checkdisk and restarted windows.

  Why not run a full scan? How can I force it to run a full scan?

  If you don't mind, would you care to try again?

  Use these instructions...

  Start button > in the search box, type cmd > look at the top left, right-click on cmd.exe > click on Run As Administrator > press the Enter key.
  Now, you will see a black and white screen. It's your cmd window.
  At the flashing prompt type this... chkdsk/f/r
  It is preferable that you copy and paste that above the line of command to avoid the misspelling. There is a space between 'chkdsk' and ' / '.

  Press the Enter key.
  The window will say something like... (I'm paraphrasing)... he can't do it now, but it will restart. You want to do, o/n.
  Type 'y' as in Yes > press ENTER.

  Output of cmd window.
  Restart your computer > system will start the disk check.
  It will take a while... a long time. Sit back and wait. Do not turn it off.
  The system will restart when the disk check is complete.

  The Vista installation disc is a DVD. Apparently, you don't have a DVD player. You would need to purchase/install a DVD-ROM or DVD - RW to install Vista. Are you sure that your hardware supports Vista before doing this?

  Even if a minimum of 1 GB, the requirements in the real world Vista requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM to run without problem. You will also need Vista drivers for all your hardware.

• Satellite L775 - mouse pad does not work properly

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L775. I run Win 7 Home Premium. My mouse pad does not work properly. I also have a Logitech Anywhere MX wireless mouse. I tried the mouse pad to work properly with the key FN and F9, but it does not work. And you really have no idea if that turns or out of the mousepad anyway, subj for another time I guess.

  What does not work, but I have to do is to go to Control Panel then mouse option load that and just scroll the tabs without changing what each time and then close and the touch pad works. But only for this session. If I have my laptop nearby, or turn it off, I have to start throughout the whole process.

  What's past and how to fix this?

  Thank you very much.

• Keyboard does not work properly

  Hello

  I had trouble getting my laptop satellite to initialize. Recovery disks & pressing F keys weren't working so I decided to open the laptop to see if there are any loose connections. To my surprise, the laptop seems to work again once I had the USB keys and put back them in! Unfortunately, before that I did, I opened the keyboard and peeked inside.

  When I booted up and tried to use the keyboard keys half of their work and the other half seem to think that they represent two other keys for example if I type the letter 'E' I get '3' and '-' as a whole. After 5-10 minutes the entire keyboard will become totally unresponsive until I restart again. Of course, I think I've done something here because this problem since I opened the bottom of the keyboard. This could be a hardware failure I have caused or is anyway that this issue can be resolved without replacing anything?

  Thank you very much

  Tom

  Hi Tom

  Theoretically, it might be just a connection lost between the keyboard and the motherboard, but I'm afraid, it can be a serious problem of m.
  Maybe you have damaged the connector of the keyboard cable or something similar, and not the keyboard does not work properly.

  I think the keyboard needs to be replaced to check if only this part is affected

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Satellite P200 accidents + message: graphic card driver does not work properly

  Hello

  hope that this issue has not been covered before, but I've owned a Satellite P200 for 3 years now, and this week, it crashes all the time.

  When it started going down he gave me a few messages in the sense of "your graphics card/driver does not work properly and windows will be arrested to avoid damage.

  It has progressed to the point where now when I turn it on, I have vertical lines running down the screen and the screen flashes on and outside. Within 20 seconds, it restores the BSOD - 'there was a problem and windows will be arrested. Error Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area"then stops.

  I ran a system restore but the problem remains.

  I have a feeling that my graphics card is toast. Is this good? Are there any other options to try? Thanks in advance for any answers.

  Matt

  Hello

  Sounds like the GPU problem.
  But try the graphics card driver update.
  Use the most recent driver for your graphics card.

  In addition, clean the fans of portable computers.
  Dust and debris could prevent the cooling fans to turn with the best speed and this could lead to a higher temperature which would lead to overheating.
  Use a jet of compressed air. I also use it and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

  If this is not enough, then a problem of graphics chip would be possible.

• Satellite Pro M10 - infrared does not work properly

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro M10 and my infrared does not work. I downloaded the zip file with the drivers from this site. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it always happens in the Device Manager under "unknown - SMC IrCC - Fast Port infrared (IR Module: HP). (with an exclamation point). When I look at the properties it says under device status:

  This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

  Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

  However, under Driver Details is said:
  C:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\smcirda.sys

  I extracted the zip file in my home directory of c:\downloads\infrared.
  whatever I do, it does not now. It worked when I bought it, but I have too many things on the system for a new installation. Which brings me to another question. Is it possible to re - install windows without losing all your data, etc.? I did it with other systems (95,98) Windows. But it seems that the Toshiba recovery disc means any wiping.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  If your HARD disk contains two partitions and you have saved the data on a second you can reinstall the operating system on the first partition using recovery DVDs.

• Satellite L670 - after Win 8 upgrade WIFI does not work properly

  Afteer upgrade to Win 8, the WiFi of my Satellite L670-128 has stopped working properly.

  The connection only works some time, usually only a few seconds before the connection is lost.
  After a few seconds or minutes the connection is restored, just soon to be lost again.

  Cannot download large files or even to see larger photos on normal web pages. Is there any Win8 driver for Broadcom coming 802.11n network card, or should I throw one 2.5 year old computer in the trash?

  Buy a usb-wlan card is not an option, as wireless mice is already "permanently" reserving one of the three usb ports and wlan card it would be just to the left...

  To my knowledge this L670 series isn t Win 8 taken in charge and this means that there is no special Win 8 drivers for this device, so I put t think you will find an another Win 8 driver for this WLan card.

  But do you really want to throw this laptop in the trash just because the wifi does not work properly running Win 8?
  The device was working properly under Win 7?

  I would recommend running a few Wlan test.
  For example; Disable wireless encryption on your router and Wifi connectivity with the open network do that just for testing purposes, perhaps you will need to change the type of encryption to test.

• Satellite P25-S520 - DVD player does not work properly

  Difficulty of DVD player or buy the external drive

  My DVD player does not work properly, in fact it can never work properly. Recently, I tried to back up my PC on a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize that the DVD was present. Then I tried to write a text file on a DVD and was a failure. DVD + R and DVD-R media were found to be (Maxwell 16 X).

  I could have probably lived with this however, I received a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my laptop nearby and it was recognized.

  An attempt to update the driver has also fails.

  I was able to copy a CD of music last night so that at least works properly.

  Does anyone know how can I fix? The important part is to be able to load my new program.

  Research on some forums I found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive can't be fixed, I'm not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately, where I live there is no brick and mortar stores selling external drives and I prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can someone suggest an external USB drive that will read and write CD and DVD and is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?

  Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.

  However, you won't be able to boot from CD (run recovery for example) If you are using an external drive.

  So, your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and request a quote.

  Hello

  First download the audio driver by using the links below and save the installer to your desktop.

  Audio driver - Windows 7

  Audio driver - Windows Vista

  Once the download is complete, right-click on the Setup program and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation - ignore the warnings that you can see everything that is an earlier version.  Once the installation is complete, restart the laptop.

  Kind regards
