• Satellite A100-062 - connect via HDMI LCD monitor

  Hello

  I wish I could connect my laptop Satellite A100-062 to LCD TV.
  The TV has a HDMI input. I understand that I could get a cable to connect DVI to HDMI, but I'm not sure I'd be able to output/DVI laptop computer.

  Is it possible to connect the laptop to a TV LCD with HDMI? If so, how would that be better achieved? Do I need a series of cables converters?

  Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  As much as I know this laptop can't stand out DVI, or HDMI port.
  It supports only s-video and RGB (monitor) output port.

  My Satellite phone supports a HDMI port output. The external monitor supports DVI and HDMI.
  I connected my laptop via a DVI-HDMI laptop/DVI HDMI cable on my monitor.

  I don't know if there is a RGB to HDMI adapter I doubt m
  But I found another solution;
  You can use a cable S-video to SCART and was able to connect the converter as Lindy - SCART to HDMI between laptop and TV or LCD display.
  This converter is not cheap, but it s about 120Euros

• Satellite A100-062: I would like to downgrade from Vista to XP

  OK, I'm helping a friend who has two Toshiba laptops, about 5 months (with XP) and another with Vista. For various reasons: lack of support of pilots for its 2 years, printer, the software does not not etc. - I would like to 'downgrade' the new laptop to XP. The model is a Satellite A100-062.

  Is it as simple as just install XP and Vista (good riddance) - crush or am I'm going to have problems with a lack of Toshiba XP drivers for this particular machine?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  > Is as simple as just install XP and Vista (good riddance) - crush or am I'm going to run in
  > problems with a lack of Toshiba XP drivers for this particular machine?

  Well, on the page of the Toshiba driver you will only find the Vista drivers.
  But don t worry the A100 many different A100 series notebooks were shipped with the same hardware specification.
  I simply recommend you test different drivers from different series Satellite A100 and Equium A100.

  Additional information on the Tip:
  Why you n t create a second partition on the laptop and install the XP operating system as a second operating system.
  In this case, you can use the two BONES.
  What do you think???

  Can someone help me please and don't forget I'm a novice so will need an idiots guide.

  Thank you very much John

  Hello!

  Have you tried with the disk recovery Toshiba or a disk of Microsoft?
  If you want to reinstall Vista with Microsoft disc, you need SATA drivers.

  I m do not know what is the problem, but in your case, I would like to format the HARD drive. You can do this with the Microsoft disk or with special tools like the Drive Fitness Test (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT).

  Delete all partitions and then do a low level format. Then try again to install Windows.

  Give me a reason why this has happened.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-062 - USB mouse does not work

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-062.

  I've never been able to get a USB mouse to work with her.
  The OS is Vista Home Premium, whenever I have plug in a USB mouse, the operating system detects a device has been connected to the USB port, but eventually the message material has not installed successfully.

  So I have to rely on the touchpad, the problem seems to be limited to mice only, I've successfully used a USB webcam without incident.
  I tried several USB mouse with the machine exclude a problem with my original mouse.

  Has anyone else had similar problems?

  Thank you

  > So I have to rely on the touchpad, the problem seems to be limited to the mouse only, I have successfully used a USB webcam without incident.
  Looks like a problem with the USB mouse and not with the laptop or with USB ports
  I would recommend testing different mouse and using the other.

• Satellite A100-062 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I'm out of memory on my A100-062 the disk of Vista (C) on my laptop (currently 62.6MB/37.1GB left!), but I left on data (E) 32 GB drive / 35.9 GB.

  Is it possible to move itunes and my library of music on the D drive and where there is more room? Or should I look to upgrade the hard disk (internal or external)

  I am a complete novice when it comes of it so * _basic detailed explanations_ * on what best to do would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks Max1210

  Before you buy a new HARD drive, you should try to move the folder my documents on the second partition. Also the mp3 files you have.
  I save my documents, pictures, music, and so far only on the second partition. On the first partition I install only the programs that I need.

  If you want a new HARD disk it of your choice if you take a HARD drive internal or external. On the external HARD drive, you can backup your data.

• Satellite A100 - Synaptics pointing device does not

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-062, that is around the age of 10 months. The other day while I was using the laptop touchpad no longer meets nothing that do about it, including the mouse buttons. I did a system restore and then used the toshiba recovery disc but nothing solved the problem. Then I stopped using it for a few days I was getting ready to return to the shop, but beforehand, I thought I would try something. Before I had tried something I booted up it to make sure that the mouse was still not working. However, it was and I did not anything else to fix.

  I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if you have how many times it happened, and whether or not it is repairable.

  Thanks for any help in this matter.

  Hello

  If the touch pad does not respond after clean installation of the operating system (DVD release) there must be a hardware problem. I recommend you contact the service provider authorized in your country. After 10 months the warranty should still be valid. Let check the touchpad and if there is a hardware problem it will be exchanged free of charge.

• Windows vista on the Satellite A100-036 problems

  Hello. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit, and I have the following problems.

  1. they replace me the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it more because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?

  2. whenever I turn on the laptop touchpad scrolling does not work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver. If you have installed another pointing PS/2 device driver please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. You want to uninstall the synaptics driver now? "I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.

  3. whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

  4. everytime I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I put in market or the automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

  5. sometimes it does not install the automatic updates and it shows me Error 8000FFFF.
  Could someone help me? Thank you.

  > 1. they replaced the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?
  If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

  > I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.
  Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

  It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

  > 4. Whenever I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I have to turn it on or automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

• Satellite A100-207 - \windows\system32\config\system is corrupt

  Hello

  Can someone help me with the following problem. With regard to a Toshiba Satellite A100-207 with windows XP media edition

  When starting the laptop hangs with error * \windows\system32\config\system is corrupt *.

  This article is the closest to the problem http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545. but the warning in the article on the point is not to use with circumspect OEM on more facilities of he made me.

  I have lost the disc of recovery (recently).
  But were able to boot the laptop from USB using a cutter (lite) version of windows.

  The scene in the article copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system fails because the file does not exist (the other files do however).

  In this folder there is a system.bak, this would solve the problems like the laptop boots windows logo screen then after 5 minutes restarts and just go around and around a certain extent.

  There is also a file system.sav in the folder windows\system32\config using this all goes someway to to solve the problem, the laptop restarts and resumes product set-up with off course fails has so I don't have the recovery disk.

  I would be grateful if someone could help with the problem

  Regards Garry

  > but the warning in the article on the point is not to use with circumspect OEM on more facilities of he made me.

  You can ignore this warning, you have no other choice than to try to fix this system following the article in the Microsoft Knowledge base.

  But to be honest, I doubt that the system would run smoothly after this work around.

  I would recommend the new installation of the OS.
  If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can use a Microsoft Disk to reinstall the system. Essential drivers are available Toshiba driver Web site.

• Satellite A100-709 - Windows XP Pro lost key

  Hello

  I formatted my machine today and re-installed the same operating system (Windows XP Pro), but did not notice that my key of windows on the back of my Satellite A100-709 has been torn. :(

  So now I have a machine with an inactive license.
  No idea how I can get it back, should I talk to Toshiba/Windows to do knowing that they might have in their books of b?

  Hello to omak

  Problem s that this key at the bottom isn't for the activation of the OS and this is the license for the original Windows Toshiba version offers with this laptop.

  If you are using clean install of Windows XP Home edition, you must use the key to legal license for this version.
  You have original Toshiba recovery DVD that you got with your laptop?
