• Need advice for installing Win7 on Satellite A300

  Hello

  I intend to buy Satellite A300-1MT (PSAGCE), and before I do I just check if there are still some problems with drivers for W7 for this model?
  On other forums, I saw that there are some problems with drivers like music keys, webcam, touchpad and FN keys and so on...

  So, can someone confirm me that all drivers are now available and everything works?

  And also until I started installing drivers is there anything I need to know (wait used?) Or perhaps better: does anyone have a special notice?

  Please, find the will to respond! Thank you very much!

• Satellite A300-23d and memory upgrade

  Hi all

  I want to upgrade my laptop memory 4 GB to 6 or 8, I got the Satellite A300-23d.

  What is the best memory for me? I'll get the Win7 64 bit OS
  I understand I have to do a clean install of the operating system, so my 2 Q is where can I get all the programs of Toshiba I got with the pc?

  Thannks for the help

  Hello

  Up to 8 GB of RAM according to specification for laptop computer, you can upgrade.
  You must use the RAMs 1 GB / 2 GB / 4 GB DDR2 800 MHz. If you 2x2gb for now, you can buy 4 GB of RAM additional or maybe two of them to use maximum RAM.

  Module of RAM of 4 GB compatible a part PA3670U-1M4G number.

  Win7 drivers download page you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/windows7_drivers.jsp
  Unfortunately for your models PSAGCE drivers are not available for the moment. I'm sure that the pilots will be ready for download in the next few days. From time to time to check this page and you will see when drivers will be there.

• Question of graphics 3D Satellite A300-23d

  I bought a Satellite A300-23d about 4 weeks ago. I use my laptop for graphics and the game. I used it with no problems at all during the first 2 weeks. But later, during the game Anno 1404 suddenly some scattered polygons and textures purpleish appeared. I thought it is the result of the game. But I started to see these artifacts in all games. Now, I can't yet play 3D games on my pc. After you start a game, I see a yellow-red-purple checkered kind on my screen and polygons get spiky.

  It looks like a hardware malfunction. Because I tried the update of drivers and hard drive recovery. It is getting worse day after day. Windows works perfectly fine (except that I got approximately 4 BSOD) but I can't play 3D games! What can I do? The only solution I think it gives for repair. I get the objects even when you play with powerplay (underclocked). It is not a heat problem. And if you ask, I'm not overclocking my laptop. With the help of stock parameters.

  Hello

  BSOD is a sign of hardware or software problem and eventually it s related to the GPU question
  If the new OS didn't install help, I'd recommend contacting the guys of ASP.

  Good luck

• Satellite A300-23d - BSOD on start up

  Hello

  My name is Tom and I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-23d for about six months. Yesterday, I used a HDMI cable to attach my laptop to my LCD to play abit on a higher resolution. In addition, after a while the PC crashed and rebooted itself with an error appears on the screen.

  I tried several times to reset and start it again no success at all. I get trying to boot my computer is:
  First black screen windows recovery error, then regardless of the option I chose the blue screen appears.

  Thanks for your time,

  Tom

  Hi Tom,

  I searched a bit using Google and I founded a few interesting articles on this BSOD code 0 x 00008086.

  It seems that the only solution for this problem is Toshiba Recovery disk now. I mean normally repair option would also be my first choice, but if you get a blue screen too, you don t have other options now.

  Then enter the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot of it. It can restore factory in a few minutes. Don t forget your whole HARD drive will be erased.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A300-23d needs too long to start

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A300-23d.
  The problem is that it takes too much time on the login screen 'Please wait '.

  I did try the recovery since the DVD and start the system, but still have the same problem, and diagnose the startup has not detected any problem.

  Can someone please?

  Hello

  I think I could help you
  I had the same problem with my laptop. The start-up procedure is too long (about 3 min).
  I have updated the Tempro software and disabled some background processes in the MSCONFIG Startup tab.

  This has helped to decrease the boot time of one min.
  I think it's very good improvement.

• Satellite A300-23d - can I he move to Windows 7?

  Hello

  I got by Satellite A300-23d and I was wondering if it can work with Windows 7 (I think it can, but must make sure). More importantly if I will put on my Vista Home Premium level throw the Toshiba upgrade plan I could get Windows 7 Professional?
  And when I update all Toshiba programs will always be on the PC and still work?

  Any help would be great!
  Thanks in advance!
  Shaked

  Hey mate,

  I agree with Akuma. You can use the upgrade feature, but you will get the same version as before. AFAIK most Satellite A300 were shipped with Vista Home Premium and then you will also get Windows 7 Home Premium. In my opinion for home use that s enough and under Vista, all versions of Windows 7 already contains the Windows backup feature. If you want professional or ultimate edition, you must purchase a copy of it.

  And why your A300 shouldn't t works with Windows 7? I mean if Toshiba sells this option of upgrade on some models they will be definitely supported. ;)

• Mousepad & keyboard do not work under Win7 on Satellite A300-1BZ

  Hello

  I just installed Windows 7 on my laptop that is about a year now, but the mouse pad and keyboard do not work. No lights on the caps lock keys or anything either, the only way to get to work is to press the power button so that the laptop goes to sleep and then press it again to turn it back on, then wakes up the keyboard but the mouse pad still does not work.

  I can plug in a USB mouse and it works, but I would prefer if the keyboard and the touchpad just would first work place! However if I restart the computer using the touchpad keyboard then suddenly works.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  I upgraded my Satellite A300 to Win7 and two works of features perfectly.
  Did you upgrade or clean install of Win7?

  To be honest, it's a little strange. I installed Windows XP Home edition, Vista and now Win7 on my A300 but the touchpad and the keyboard worked fine all the time.

  Have you noticed this immediately after the departure of punch or later?

• Need drivers for Win7 for Satellite A300-214

  Hello!

  (1) after you have installed all recommended drivers (model A300-214, PGAGCE Windows 7 32 bit) I'm still 4 devices not recognized, shown in the Device Manager program.
  Moreover, I found the drivers of webcam.

  (2) why review for this model (A300-214) is not displayed on the site?

  I installed Win7 with success on my Satellite A300-1LI, and I can't believe that you can t it too much.
  On the Toshiba download page you can find the drivers for your model laptop, but you need to look for PSAGCE.
  Model number, you have posted is false. G not but S on the second place (PSAGCE is right).

  Some drivers are missing, but for all missing commands, you can use Vista drivers.

• Impossible to install Vista on Satellite A300 PSAGCE - not ACPI compliant

  Hello

  I'm recovering the laptop from a friend.
  He has installed Windows XP on its Satellite A300 PSAGCE and concluded that of course XP 32-bit Windows does not support the full functionality of the laptop.

  Now I wanted to reinstall Vista that came with it. I have two recovery DVD but when I wanted to start them (them two DVDs) I always get the error message that the system is not fully ACPI-compatible.

  Now of course this laptop should work with Vista and the provided restore DVD should work as well, no?
  I tried to download a Bios nw, but it seems 1.10 is the most recent.

  I also can't find all the ACPI settings in the BIOS that I could activate.

  Could someone help me?
  It is really urgent and driving me crazy!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Strange! Usually, if you have created the DVD recovery Toshiba using the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator then everything should work correctly and you should be able to install Vista on this A300!

  I put t know if you have changed something in the BIOS or elsewhere, but you should access the BIOS and should define the default settings.
  Then try to boot from the recovery DVD Toshiba again.

  Good luck

• How to install Win7 on Satellite C870-190?

  Hi, I hope I'm posting in the category right forum then...

  My laptop is Toshiba Satellite C870-190 and it doesn t want to start my windows 7 CD.
  I tried first with the DEL-button that opened the system startup when I start Notepad and then choose the CD-ROM device and do not want to load the CD and then I chose F2, the first unit on the boot to the CD-ROM section, still do not want to load it... the final solution, I tried to install it from the Windows 8 (current operating system) from my computer--> CD--> setup.exe, and then click INSTALL.

  My computer laptop doesn t have allowed me to install it even from Windows... on file copy screen to say... and then it gives me an error that says that the operation failed... What is happening with this laptop?

  How can I format my HARD drive and then install windows 7?

  Thank you

  At the beginning I will say that I hope that you have created a recovery media (DVD or USB) before you have begun to install Win7.

  Return to your Win7 installation. A long time ago I installed Win7 on friends U940 and the first stage was changing course startup in the BIOS settings mode - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm
  After the installation Win7 has started successfully, but in my case the SATA driver support was necessary.

  Please check first and send comments.

• Installing Win7 on Satellite M70-173 - query of wireless internet

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M70-173, which I think to be up-to-date with windows 7. However after you run the windows 7 Advisor, he told me to download the driver of the wireless device that is:

  Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

  I put t really know what it is? Is my wireless 'card '?
  In any case, I check on the Intel site for the updated drivers for win7, and he says:

  "Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection does not support Microsoft Windows * 7.

  Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection is no longer manufactured by Intel, nor Intel provide any future software updates to support new operating systems or improve compatibility with devices and third-party software products. "

  Does this mean that I should not install Windows 7?

  How can I work around this problem, do need me to upgrade and how much would this cost?
  Thank you

  Satellite or Equium M70 is old model of laptop computer designed for Windows XP Home edition, so it is certainly not taken in charge for Win7. It is certainly possible to install Win7 on this laptop, but you will not be able to make it work with all the options that are specific to Toshiba.

  Yes it's the wireless card if this card doesn t work for lack of best drivers and the best option for you is to buy the wireless USB dongle. Ask your dealer how local it costs. As far as I know that's not expensive.

• Problem installing XP on Satellite A300 - driver SATA is an .exe file

  Hi all

  Can someone help me? I have read the post "how to install Windows XP Home on Satellite A300? Posted the: June 26, 2008 22:40 "but, when I put the storage (XP) drivers in the Windows XP installation CD (driver is a .exe) and restart the computer, the installation CD does not recognize the SATA drive...".

  What can I do?

  Thank you

  It could be a driver compatibility problem, but also missing some other patches or missing SP2 MS could cause this BSOD.
  So please make sure that you Win XP CD contains SP2 too.
  As suggested try to start in safe mode and reinstall the drivers created for your notebook from the series.

• How to install XP in Satellite A300-1BI with Vista

  Hello

  A few days ago, I bought a Satellite A300-1BI with Windows Vista preinstalled. I don't like this OS and I want to degrade for Windows XP and also install my Ubuntu Linux distribution, but I cannot install lame of them because the hard disk appears as "not connected" on men to install XP and Ubuntu...
