Games and graphics on the Satellite A100-197

I have a portable satellite A100-197 and I have problems to read some games. Most of the games work very well, but I have problems to read games on Steam, as source of counterstrike and half-life 2.

Before starting the game, I gives me an error message saying Steam does not recognize my graphics card, and when I go in the game there is no display, just a white screen. I am told by the error message I use ' Mobile Intel 945GM express chipset family "." I don't know hardly what to do, if there is something that I can download to fix this or if I have to buy a new graphics card.

If this is the case, should what card I buy? I said I need a low profile card, is this the case? What is the best to buy a small budget? I know there are a number of issues, but someone could please help me! Thanks ;)

Hello

I also play counter strike and my practice of experience games flow needs always the latest graphics driver.
Especially the laptop manufacturers do not provide the latest versions and to look at other sites for the most recent version.

According to your message, the phone supports an Intel 945 GM graphics card.
Visit the Intel website and download the new chipset / graphic driver for this card.

    Hi all

    My Satellite A100-250 is now almost 1.5 years old. Recently, the screen goes funny; black text on white has shadows strange, degraded colors have streaks of primary color, some halftone colors seem to cross the screen.

    I have no problem with DVD player (although I n t use it a lot), but it must depend on what model you have, I have Pioneer, but I know someone who has one * mast (list of readers as possible is in the manual, apparently depends on which model is available at the factory during Assembly).

  • Update graphics on the Satellite A100-215

    Hello!
    I would like to know if there is possible to update my graphics card to some one like a GeForce 8600GT or a Mr. Radeon HD2600, something like that, with the DirectX10.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi friend

    Unfortunately there is no chance to update the graphic card of your machine, because the unit graph (or comparable) is welded ("wired") on the motherboard.
    This whole system was aligned with this chip, and there is no way to Exchange or upgrade your graphics subsystem.
    If you want better graphics and a more powerful graphics chipset, then you will need to purchase another computer with a better graphics card.

    That's all. Sorry dude.

  • Want to have a faster graphics on the Satellite A100-326

    Hi all

    How can I make my Nvidia 7300 running faster graphics card? On Star Trek Legacy if I turn anti-aliasing on it starts to become very slow. Any chance to do an upgrade?

    Thank you

    Ricardo

    The nVidia GeForce FX Go 7300 is a powerful graphics card with 256 MB memory clean (not shared memory)
    Generally there is not a lot to do, but some settings can be changed in the nVidia GeForce tab which is located in the properties of the graphics card-> advanced

    There is an area of performance tuning & quality. You can change the anti-aliasing settings manually or controlled Application.
    You can also set the maximum performance PowerMizer settings. The graphics card will waste more power but runs well powerful. But this setting is not recommended if you are running the laptop on battery.

  • Blue screen with DVB - T USB TV tuner comes with the Satellite A100-165

    Hi all

    I have the Satellite A100-165 with PX1211E - 1TVD USB DVB - T TV tuner (TV savvy). I think the installation is OK because I can watch TV on my PC!

    But occasionally PC reboot with blue screen! :-((Je pense qu'il lorsque le niveau dele de signal TV est inférieur)
    I update the driver warned with the version I found on the Web from Toshiba site: savvytv-udvbtt - 10180629.zip
    But it's always the same!
    You have an idea about this problem?
    I can agree to have a bad display when the signal quality is lower, but it is very annoying to often have a blue screen and PC reboot!

    Thank you in advance on your help
    Best regards

    Hello

    I think that this can be corrected with the latest display driver. Please visit the Toshiba download page and install it.

    If the problem is fixed, please write again.

  • Impossible to get PRTSCR DEL + keys to work on the Satellite A100

    I have the Satellite A100 - 232 PSAA2E. Bought in Greece... If some of the keys have a second role - for Greek letters. Especially not a problem.

    However... I can't get led (top-right) to work and same (3buttons on the left led) the print. Is there a setting to change or is there another way to remove and print screen?

    Your ad is somewhat confusing. Satellite A100 is pretty old laptop so I do not understand how you have this problem now.

    Everything was ok in the past?

    As far as I know you can change the keyboard input language, but this has nothing to do with DEL or PRINT key features.

    Can you give an exact describtion of the problem with drivers?
    So first of all, you can try to download the drivers again from the download page of Toshiba here:

    And make sure that all windows updates are installed. SP2 is important to be installed for some devices.

  • What Watts value using the Satellite A100-771?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-771. Does anyone know how many watts the TI needs?
    In my car, I have a 200 Watt 12 volt DC to inverter, but his does not.
    Is it possible that the laptop needs more than 200 watts?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    As far as I know the satellite A100-771 uses an AC adapter reference number: E/PA2521U-2ACA 15V 6a 90W.
    In addition, you can use these adapters:
    AC adapter PA2521U-3ACA (2pin 90W/15V) and PA2521E-2AC3 (90W/15V 3-pin)

    I put t found any information on the car adapter, but I think you might be able to buy from any distributor of mobile or you can order from the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country.
    I think that guys will order the part directly from the warehouse of Toshiba.
