Equium A100-337: poor performance Vista - should I upgrade to XP?

I have a brand new Equium A100-337, which came with Vista as standard.

No games work correctly (yes I tried the emulator). The noise is terrible and DVDs are almost inaudible. The firewall stops or crashes constantly. Now, I get the message that Toshiba flash cards do not work - I don't even know what they are!

Is this normal?
Installing XP would solve my problems?

Hello

What is a RAM upgrade. In line with this model of laptop comes with 512 MB of RAM. Very interesting, is that this graphics card is shared and use RAM for graphics operations. I imagine that the performance is not one that suits.

This model laptop can handle with 4 GB of RAM and I recommend you increase the RAM with 1 extra GB module.

I'm sure that the performance will be much better. 512 MB for me is certainly not enough. It is the same with Windows XP Home edition when the unit only has 256 MB of RAM.

Good bye

    Hello

    Equium A100-337 is a form of unit PSAAQE series. Am I wrong? The serial number, which you will find at the bottom of the unit.

    On the official European site of Toshiba, unfortunately, I have not found this series.

    You will wait a bit for compatible Vista drivers or you try to install other series A100 only Vista drivers.

  • Equium A100-337: WinXP Pro instead of Vista-> XP drivers needed

    Bought A100 337, but I have a few software can only, working under winxp. So I try to install a winxp pro on this computer.

    But I can't find Windows XP drivers for A100 337
    On the download page of hardware A100 337 except vista drivers driver, there is only Windows XP MCE driver available. Y at - it no problem if I install the winxpMCE driver in my winxp pro operating system.

    Why not? Try it out and report how it works. If something goes wrong, you can always reinstall Vista.

  • Equium A100-147: cannot install Vista because of startup configuration problem

    Equium A100-147 (Windows MCE) bought compatible Vista and bought my promised copy of Vista... used Toshiba step by step DVD ROM upgrade and also updated the Bios.

    Tried to load Vista Home Premium and after going through all the steps, it came with this message...
    «Could not update the computer startup configuration - installation cannot go ahead «...»»

    How should I proceed and what is useful to load Vista.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Considers that Howard.

    Hello

    How have you tried to install vista on the laptop?
    Have you tried to switch the MCE to Vista or were you running the new clean install of Vista?

    In my opinion, you must perform a clean installation. Don t updated the existing MCE of Vista.
    In such cases, you can join different installation problems

    If you are an owner of an original MS windows XP CD try to run the console of your windows XP CD recovery.

  • Replacement of the HARD disk on Equium A100-337 - installation of operating system recovery disc?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 337 Vista Premium. Unfortunately, the HARD drive died in it and it is out of warranty.

    I have the recovery CD and it have used before so know this works.

    I intend to put in a HARD drive replacement, but looking around, I can get a much better deal on something like maxtor/WD/seagate.
    It would be a problem for the recovery CD?

    In addition, the original disk is 60 GB - but if possible, while I replace in any case, I like to put in a bigger. What worries me is if the recovery CD is for 60 GB image pre - and then the rest of a larger HARD drive would be just wasted space? (if indeed it would even work in the first place)

    Someone else put in a brand/different size of HDD and used the successfully recovery CD? I have to admit not knowing much about how does the recovery process, pointers on that would be appreciated also.

    See you soon.

    A different size will be fine. Not sure about the different makes it well, but as far as I know, as long as it has the same interface as the original HARD disk, and then you'll be fine.

    A Yes, the recovery works on a more than 60 GB HARD drive.

    I hope this helps.

  • Equium A100 - 337 PSAAQE - abandoned?

    Hello

    I'm a little worried. I bought this laptop just 7 days ago, and when we look around the Toshiba site for updates etc, I discovered that A1OO-337 is abandoned.
    Anyone can shed some light on this?

    I'm not really happy that such a new (old) laptop is now discontinued, if that's the case, it is interrupted... Does anyone know how to contact Toshiba?

    tThanx for research.

    What? A model A100-337?

    Sorry, but I put t believe something like that.
    As far as I know the laptop came with Vista and a simple fact is that not all laptops are listed on the Vista and XP drivers download site.

    But you worry about don t; in my opinion, the driver will be available in the near future

  • Equium A100-147 - including modules of RAM to upgrade?

    Hello

    I think to upgrade the RAM on my Equium A100-147 and I was wondering what kind of RAM I should get and what is the maximum amount of RAM supported?

    It has a processor clocked at 1.6 GHz centrino duo t2050 if that's any help? I looked on the toshiba site and they sell only 1 GB of supported modules, but in other places I've seen people say that it can take more?

    Thank you

    Hi mate,

    The maximum RAM capacity depends on your chipset you have. From Toshiba Web site displays a maximum capacity of 4 GB of RAM, but don t forget, you need an OS to use the full capacity of 64-bit. Otherwise, you are only able to use about 3 GB.

    You can buy all the modules you want to, but I made good experiences with the Kingston modules. Kingston memory research shows the compatible modules for your laptop:

  • Equium A100-027 freezes after Vista update

    I bought an A100-027 (yesterday!) with Vista installed.

    Everything worked fine until I have that ran Windows update to get the latest Microsoft patches. now, nothing works.

    In detail:
    I put the system to go into hibernation when you press the power button and close the cover (which worked fine).

    I have set up an internet connection broadband and access to Windows Update to get the latest patches, which had 12. He downloaded them and seemed to install OK and then he said that wanting to restart the machine. I clicked on OK and the machine shut down and restarted, but he came all the way to the top. (I think someone can close the lid while crossing the restart process after updates).

    In any case, what now happens is - press the power button (don't forget he is in hibernation)-the Toshiba "in touch with tomorrow" the start screen appears, followed by a screen with "recovery Windows... "down (as expected). Then, the screen is blank - the hard drive light stays on for a minute or so, then turns off and it just sits there. If I then press the power button, it seems to make an extended stop sleep normal (HDD light flashes for a few seconds, then the power goes off).

    Following a response elsewhere in this forum, I tried to remove the battery (with power off and unplugged, of course) for 1/2 hour and its replacement - no difference. I also tried pressing different keys while turning on F, but no difference (except sometimes beeps).

    Help!

  • Equium A100-337: after reinstall of WXP Pro - no audio

    Hi people,

    Because of compatibility issues, we meet a couple with Vista Home Premium on this machine, I am forced to uninstall vista and install XP Pro SP2 license.

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 for Xp driver disc - all functions work well, GFX wireless lan, toshiba programs, but can not get audio to work. There is no conflict in Device Manager, hardware volume control is located at halfway. I can't install SRS trusurround.

    Advice please?

    Don t use drivers for Satellite Pro A100 but download the audio driver from the Toshiba driver page and select a series of Satellite A100 PSAA9E
    To my knowledge, this unit uses the HD Audio sound Realtek ALC 861 map
