• Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

  I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

  I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

  What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". "Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  Luke

  PS - I'm a mac user and do not have much experience in the use of Windows laptops, so I need instructions spelled out clearly enough if possible.

  The error could be related to drive HARD and the setting in the BIOS of the controller...
  Probably, you need to install Win XP using SATA AHCI mode and to add the driver SATA as described here:

• Satellite C660-108 disables unsuspected rotation fan while rose

  Hello

  I so laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-108 series.
  I don't really know what to do, laptop turns off by itself at any time, the fan starts to spin very strong and fair, he stops, when I try to turn it on again same thing occurs, time is random, sometimes it turns on for 10 seconds, sometimes for hours... Please help technicians in my town don't know what to do...

  Thank you
  Karolis.

  I m wondering really that technicians can not help you with this. I mean if they can that help can we do on this virtual path where we can only speculate what may be the problem.
  Did you contact Toshiba service provider or an independent PC company?

  Problem is that we do not know if your laptop turns off due to high temperatures and overheating of the CPU or there is another reason. At least what you can do about it? Nothing. All you can do is buy compressed air and try to clean it. What else can you do?

  What confuses me, is the fact that your laptop turns off after 10 seconds. This must be studied.

• Satellite C660-108 - Wireless does not work

  Hey everybody,

  New to the forum, I had to sign up because of a problem with shame. I would like to apologize in advance because I know nothing about how computers work.

  I have a toshiba satellite c660-108, windows 7 OS. Yesterday I was updating it and I used it very well after that I restarted. He stops and went to bed. Today, I turned on and he did a system restore, don't know why. So all went through and then it wouldn't connect to the internet wireless, only ethernet cable (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=69127&tstart=0 - same problem as far as I can tell).

  I'm in the middle of my diploma thesis and word does not work now, so I did a full factory restore hoping everything would be ok. This isn't.

  Ive tried to download the driver toshiba wireless, just didn't work. It currently downloads Realtek but I'm sure it won't work either.

  How to get another wireless network card?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  James

  The essential is that you it works again.
  So congratulations. :)

• Satellite C660-108 does not start if the USB Bluetooth dongle connected

  Hiya,

  I hope you could help me.

  I'm having a problem with my dongle bluetooth and satellite c660-108.
  It all works perfectly. It connects devices via bluetooth and I can do whatever I want.

  But then when I'm mobile stop and turn it on again it will go if the bluetooth dongle is always in the USB.

  I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with a black screen and a cursor flashing at the top left.
  I have to turn it off, remove the bluetooth dongle and then turn it back on.
  And then windows starts. After that, I put in bluetooth dongle, once again I want to work with her.

  It isn't a huge problem, but it is a bit annoying when I have to leave the bluetooth and put it back again to get the windows began.
  I'm running under win 8.1 but he already had with 8 victory.

  Anyone any ideas?

  > I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with a black screen and a cursor flashing at the top left.
  Especially the blinking cursor is displayed because the laptop can not find a boot device.

  It seems that the device cannot put on the HARD drive while the USB dongle is connected.
  I would recommend you check the boot order in the BIOS.

  Put the HARD drive in the first place and the USB boot last device.
  Save changes and check if it helps.

• Satellite C660-108 - fan keeps running

  I just bought a Satellite C660-108 and pleasure keeps running all the time. Is this normal?

  Hi Judith_2,

  If your laptop computer is in idle mode, it isn't normal that the fan still works. Normally it should start and stop as on other models.
  But if you run some background applications such as Internet browser, Antivirus, etc., it may be normal because the CPU causes a lot of heat and it must be cooled to protect it from damage.

  Anyway, you can try to change the cooling method in Windows power management. You can choose between a maximum Performance and battery optimized. If you want to reduce, change the value of the latter.
  I confirm there is really a difference between the methods of cooling and optimized battery is much quieter.

• Satellite C660-108 - slow response keyboard

  The keyboard on my Satellite C660-108 is very slow in response. Some characters are not at all, some only after a short delay. It's very embarrassing when I type text and passwords (!) because I have to double check any type (and 1 / 3 words has spelling mistakes, because of the problem with keyboard)

  Is there a way I can troubleshoot what's the problem?

  Thank you

  Herbert

  Hey Buddy,

  As you can read in many other threads, you must update the BIOS to get rid of this problem.

  Toshiba has already published an article on what you need to do:

• Battery won't charge on Satellite C660-108

  I just bought a new C660-108 Satellite as a Christmas gift. The laptop worked fine for a while but then I noticed that the start of Windows 7 icon said that the battery was not supported (even if it has been inserted correctly, the two sliders were in the correct position, the power cable is plugged in and turned on). Of course, when the battery ran down the computer died.

  Current situation is that the computer will work very well with the feeder so the removal of the battery (now deceased), but it will not turn on with the battery inserted (if the power cable is plugged or not).

  Is this a problem with the battery or laptop?

  Before start us discussion please try this.
  Remove the battery, start your laptop on mains only and when the operating system is fully loaded, put the battery in place.

  Please let us know if the battery is properly recognized and that recharge the battery will start as usual.

• Satellite C660-108 - no internet connection automatic

  I bought a laptop replacement last weekend - a Toshiba C660 - 108 - that gives me a problem.

  I can't the computer to connect automatically to the internet router (Orange) because it is unable to connect at the start even if the network is always visible. Then, I need to go upstairs to the router, press the wifi button, and then I can connect. It works fine until it or I lose connection or switch off when I find once again to repeat the process.

  We have three other Toshiba laptops in the House who all work with happiness and automatically.

  Tried to connect with virus protection disabled and no conflict there is different I think.

  Have checked that I have the latest version of the driver and that it.

  Have noticed however, that when I put them to the top of the list of networks available in the range, my connection doesn't have a checkbox "Allow to automatically connect" while others do. I checked all properties and the boxes are checked to allow the automatic connection.

  When I use my laptop at work it connects to the network automatically without any problem (the work is a router BTConnect).

  Spent the week looking for a solution for this on the forums and would be required, if someone can tell me what to do to allow an automatic connection.

• Disk error and black screen on Satellite c660-21z

  Hello

  MY SON HAS HAD HIS LAPTOP FOR 3 WEEKS.
  USED THIS MORNING, SHUT IT DOWN IN A NORMAL MANNER, WENT TO START TONIGHT AND GETS A BLACK SCREEN WITH "A DISK READ ERROR OCCURRED. PRESS CTRL + ALT + DELETE TO RESTART»

  I TRIED TO RESTART, TRIED BOOTING IN SAFE MODE, AND THEN RETURNED.

  SOMEONE HAS SUGGESTED EVEN TAKE OUT THE BATTERY AND PUT IT BACK BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK.

  CAN ANY ONE HELP?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It looks like a problem with the HARD drive.
  Please check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS. Switch on and press F2.
  Usually, this will help you access the BIOS.
  In the BIOS on the front page that the HARD drive should be mentioned is that?
  Otherwise, this means that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced

  By the way: you did not post the laptop model but if it s 3 weeks old, then you must get in touch with Toshiba service, if the HARD disk is defective you should get a new one for free because the warranty to be valid.

• OpenGL driver for Toshiba Satellite C660-1J2?

  Adobe After Effects always crash at startup.
  It says it is unable to initialize OpenGL and I need to contact the manufacturer of the graphics card.

  So I contact Intel because I had an Intel Hd Graphics adapter, but they say that the driver I already customized is set for Toshiba. So I search on Toshiba but can't really find any useful link.

  Do I have to manually install OpenGL or can I disable it somehow without starting After Effect?
  How can I installOpenGl manually?

  I downloaded the latest driver of graphics on your part, but it does not help.
  What I want to do is run a popular Adobe product then I think that a lot of people have this problem.

  Hello

  OpenGL is a standard API for writing computer graphics 2D or 3D software.
  OpenGL is a product of open source but DirectX is published by Microsoft and DirectX is part of the graphics card and not OpenGL driver.

  However, you cannot download and install OpenGL for use in the graphics OpenGL driver must be implemented in the driver

  Mostly it of done by the graphics card manufacturing.
  Therefore, you will need to check the Intel page to get a driver from Intel that supports OpenGL because the laptop supports the graphics HD Intel HM55.

  This link detects the driver updates are relevant to your computer, and then helps you install quickly and easily.

• my keyboard mouse on my Toshiba satellite C660 laptop will not move. Im having to use my wireless mouse.

  would it be a virus, and my internet keeps disconnecting and then reconnecting.

  Hi barbhog,

  When was the last time you ran a virus on the computer scan and what were the results? You see other issues of performing with the hardware on the computer?

  Let us ensure that the touchpad is not disabled. Is there a somwhere or the switch on the front or the side of the laptop that might have been put in power? If not, you can try to go into the BIOS and check if it has been disabled it.

  To do this:

  Start by pressing F2 or F10 when booting. You will see a flash at the bottom of the start screen option in the BIOS.

  Once in the BIOS, go to 'Advanced' highlight the property system > keyboard and mouse features or options of the unit and press ENTER.

  Find the internal pointing device and pass from disabled to enabled.

  I hope this helps. Just reply to the results.
