Enter it on back Satellite Pro 4600

I am running WinXp Pro on a satellite pro 4600

My floppy drive doesn't work anymore, how can I enter dos mode so I can create a backup with Norton Ghost?

Hello

I use Norton Ghost 2003, but it is an application installed on Windows XP Home edition, and there is no need to start is in DOS mode. It will be interesting to know that Norton Ghost version are you using, and how it works.

If you can not use the try FDD make Norton Ghost boot CD.

  • 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.

  • Resume the failed Satellite Pro 4600

    Hello

    I get a message "Press any key to resume failure continues" every time I powere to the top of my Satellite Pro 4600. It then remains on a white screen and I am unable to do anything. Someone at - it suggestions on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Check if the BIOS is set to RESUME (function that remember have been closed and continue on this same place).

    To do this: when the TOSHIBA logo is shown be very quickly press the ESC key a short time.
    You should get an error message and press F1 to enter BIOS. Search for Power-up mode (or something very similar). Set it to BOOT.

    If it is already set to BOOT, or it does not help, try pressing the reset button when the screen is empty as you say. You should find it on the, I think that, left side of the machine. Look closely on the sides. You should find a small hole.

    Good luck

  • Record stereo sound on the Satellite Pro 4600

    Hello everyone and happy NYE!

    I am trying to record a stereo sound from an external source on my Satellite Pro 4600.
    I read in the manual of the only way to enter the stereo signal from other sources (e.g., external CD player) is through card Station IV as the laptop itself has only monaural audio input jack.
    Is it possible to record stereo sound from external source without having to invest in the Station IV card?
    Or if not, is there any software that can convert the stereo, mono signal?

    Thanks for any help on this matter.

    Matthew.

    Hello

    In my opinion you can do this only if you use an external device to the audio transfer stereo. In combination with the right software, you can save, for example, old records and put music in digital format.

  • How to access the BIOS on Satellite Pro 4600 settings?

    Guys,

    I received a Satellite Pro 4600, unfortunately this laptop has 2 and a half proceeding on this issue. The first is MS2000, then XP then an incomplete installation of XP. When I start the laptop, it asks which OS I want to use. I have a legal copy of XP that I bought and I want to reformat the computer laptop and put on a new install of XP, the problem is how to enter the BIOS to change the settings to boot to a CD?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Steve

    Hello

    First of all you n t need to access the BIOS to boot from the CD.
    You can simply press the F12 key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
    It would show the available boot options.

    Alternatively, you can press the C button that would automatically allow the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 very unstable and BSOD

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro 4600 c750/128 with xp installed.
    It was ok, but slow, so I've updated at 500 MB of memory.

    He now became unstable under windows and throw a screen blue after awhile, which is a related, but firm and we will restart until I have a chance to read the error message.

    I tested the new memory from one day to the next with memtest and run 4 passes all tests without error, about 9 hours of operation (on the back).

    The event log indicates a discharge, but this does not mean a lot to me.
    The event log has an error during startup, what was there before the memory upgrade.
    Googling Sugest a fix to update the bios, it's always available for this laptop bios?

    The BIOS should be available for this former Satellite Pro 4600.
    The BIOS and drivers must be placed on the page of European driver of Toshiba.
    Here, you will need to search the Archives!

    But I doubt that the error is caused by the BIOS.
    Is the laptop ran stable also with the previous BIOS and it foolish to update the BIOS to fix this problem.
    I'm sure it won't change anything!

    Upgrade the RAM and BSOD appears now.
    I think that the problem is related to the RAM, even if the ram test didn't find any errors
    The RAM may be not compatible also if no error has been detected.

    I recommend that you test the laptop without the new RAM and check if the BSOD will appear again.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: HDD upgrade question

    Hello.

    I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro 4600 a 20 GB hard drive to a 60 gig.
    Only, I get a blank screen.
    When I go back my 20 original concert, it works well.
    Y at - it a special procedure for the Assembly of the larger disks?

    The BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly?

    Perhaps the size of the HARD drive is too big and so you have a few problems with the laptop.

    The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported and the BIOS recognizes all drives, if the size is too large. Therefore, you should try a smaller HARD drive

  • Satellite Pro 4600: WinXP - no hardware acceleration for dvd?

    I have a satellite pro 4600 pentium 3 800 with 128 MB of ram and graphics Trident CyberBlade XP card. The device is perfectly able to reproduce DVDs with the software alone by using PowerDVD 6. However due to the fact that my battery is almost dead, I would be able to play the DVD the most optimized battery settings.

    Setting of the unit (approximately 350 mhz) low processor should be able to play DVDs if backed up by hardware acceleration, since cyberblade claims to be a card directX 7 with motion compensation and idct. However 4 PowerDVD 6 PowerDVD and windvd 7 do not recognize hardware acceleration under windows XP.

    In the past, I had a similar problem with a laptop computer with a graphics card than cyberblade i7. I was then able to activate hardware acceleration using just powerdvd 4 and windows 98, but I don't want to resort to that.

    Can someone help me? Do you know any software reading with the support of cyberblade XP Windows? Do I need any other drivers? I have the drivers on the toshiba site, and they date back to 2001.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I n t have any experience in hardware acceleration of the cyberblade card but mobile graphics cards are not similar with Office PC cards.
    As far as I know the unit has a support of the Trident Cyber BLADE XP video controller 16 MB VRAM external video and DVD material.
    However, you will find the Toshiba drivers on the Toshiba site but if you need one on so I would say to ask the support of Trident.
    But if you use no drivers Toshiba you can do at your own risk!

  • Satellite Pro 4600: How can I get my wireless to turn on?

    EIS,

    Sorry to ask the most basic questions, but I just inherited a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, on the back side of the laptop, I have the following information:
    CEL 750 / 128 / 20 GB / 14T

    On the left side of the Panel, there is a wireless - switch this switch, how can I get the built in wireless to work please?

    Thank you.

    Hi mate,

    Firstly: are you sure that you have a wireless card installed? This is the first question and perhaps the most important of them. Not every Satellite 4600 has been bundled with a wireless card and a switch wireless on the left side says nothing.

    I know it s hard without technical knowledge, but what you can do is download the drivers from the Toshiba Drivers and Downloads 'Archive' wireless, turn on the wireless switch and check if some materials are recognized. If Yes, then welcome to the wireless world. :)

    Would like to hear some comments from your part Thx.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - CPU overheating graphics card?

    16 days ago my tosh Satellite Pro 4600 has lost the ability to maintain 25 fps in a game online - IE. Diablo 2.
    He now plays to an average of 4 frames per second and ping gets up to more than 4,000... Needless to say that now, unplayable...

    I reinstalled the game... installed new XP and game on the D drive...
    Same thing... a program called SpeedswitchXP shows CPU use fluctuating 54 to 420, because the clocked processor slot general tab of my computer displays 422 now, not the 847 mhz it used to.

    Still, he surfed on the net and plays yahoo games of cards for example. at lightning speed, but not a rpg online... there work perfectly at 25 fps on average for 3 years... Irretrievably overheating / damaged CPU, graphics card?
    Anyone know? Another temp. program shown running at 64 c is worth a new motherboard?

    I can get one? Any ideas?

    Hello

    First of all, he should know that the processor and GPU performance are dynamically.
    This means that the speed and the performance changes if the temperature reaches a critical threshold.
    This could lead to performance degradation.

    In your case, the laptop is about 3 years old and I think that it s time to clean the fans to prevent the notebook from overheating.

    You can try to use the jet of professional compressed air to get rid of dust and debris.
    Such spays you can buy computer retailer.

  • Cannot change the contrast, brightness, etc. on Satellite Pro 4600. Help please.

    I can't control the contrast, brightness, Saturation etc... using the control panel of Trident in my Satellite Pro 4600. Could someone help me to activate these controls?
    Thanks in advance
    Andrea

    Hello Andrea,

    normally, you can change this settigs in the Panel, but to explain the way to change this would be nice to know what operating system you have installed.

    If you have the perinstalled Os, it might be that you have Win2000.

    Win2000:

    Go to the control panel - display - Advanced control and then you could choose between video, color or television.

    The Brightess could be changed to energy-saving, because the brightness depends on your setting of power.
    Battery high brightness mode could reduce your battery power!

    Bye Bob
