Massage "cannot Access Volume Control!" on my Satellite L20

I have this strange problem on my laptop Satellite L20-100 with Windows XP Pro pre-installed.
When I turned on the laptop this morning I got this massage WARNIG: "Can t Access Volume Control!", then I noticed that the (Windows) Volume control icon does not appear in the system tray of taskbar.

Generally, the sound works under Windows. When I go to control panel-> sounds and devices Audio-> Volume V is marked near the "place volume icon taskbar", I tried to deselect and score again. It still does not appear, if I can change the volume here (Panel-> Sound) and Audio-> Volume devices and it works, but when I try to change it with Fn + up/down the whole bar is red because he does not see the sound card or something.

I tried to reinstall the audio driver, nothing happens.
This actually happened before, the first time that reinstalling Windows helped, I think.
Anyone have any idea what should I do? Thanks in advance...

If this problem occurred suddenly have you tried to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool?

  • The volume control on the Satellite Pro A200 with Ubuntu 7.10

    I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9, I did recently to dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu 7.10. It's the first time I used Linux and most things are going well so far.

    However, the volume control (a wheel at the front of the laptop) does not control the volume correctly with Ubuntu, rather than increase the volume smoothly as with Vista, it increases in a 1/8 of maximum volume jumps, the on-screen volume control is always smooth. I think that it is at least partly due to the change of a material volume wheel, as with the latest Toshiba, I have used, for a version of software based. It controls the system volume and runs continuously, without stop at maximum or minimum volumes.

    Does anyone know how to change this change in volume for a smooth jump?

    Thanks for any help

    So just to start to ask in the ubuntu forums because I think that someone is there who maybe has the same problem as you.

    1. What is the number and the model of the computer?
    2. When you open Device Manager you are able of NVidia graphics card under the graphics card?

    I checked online based on the error message that you provided and it seems that this problem is caused if you have the drivers for the graphics card from NVidia are exceeded.

    The first step in troubleshooting, I would ask uninstall you the drivers of graphics NVidia from the programs list in the control panel.

    See the link below for more information on how to uninstall the drivers from Control Panel NVidia graphics cards.

  • Re: Cannot use remote control with my Satellite P20

    I just got hold of a PSP20E and the remote control (2 of them) does not work, the light blinks but that's all. When I try to set up in the Media Center settings, I get the message unable to detect the remote sensor.

    I was told by the previous owner it was working, the only thing I've done is to adapt to a new DVD (TEAC DV-W28E) player and loads of recommended Windows updates. The BIOS version is 1.6 and I'm under Win XP MCE (sp2). Any ideas would be welcome.
    Either by the way, I write a BIOS updated on a CD, or do I have to buy a floppy drive?

    Hello, Alan

    I used Satellite P20 over 2 years and I never noticed any problem with the small remote control. I guess you bought second-hand laptop and in my opinion, the first things you need to do is install the OS via recovery CD.

    When the laptop to factory settings, you must test the operation of the equipment, in particular the use remote control. Recovery image is designed so that everything should work. If this isn't the case, it may be just because of a malfunction of the equipment. As I've already said I used this laptop long enough and never noticed any problems.

    To be honest I didn t make updates because the BONE was very well set up. As I said, you can test it with recovery image.

    The BIOS update you need floppy drive.

  • Cannot access the BIOS on the Satellite L40T-A202

    Hello!

    Months ago, I've updated the bios of my laptop Toshiba L40T-A202. After reboot I can't access the bios. I fixed it by jumping the jcmos into the mobo. Now the problem occurrd again and I can't seem to fix it with the same problem I did.

    Can someone help me? This laptop was bought abroad and I don't want to spend a lot of cash and send it to the repair shops.

    Please help me on this.

    > I fixed it by jumping the jcmos into the mobo
    With this action, you certainly killed the guarantee. I really don't understand what was the reason for this action.

    For a better understanding, I have a few questions for you:
    Have you successfully updated the BIOS?
    You can start your machine properly?
    See Toshiba welcome screen on startup?
    Windows starts as usual?

  • Cannot access the BIOS on my Satellite U940-11 t

    Hello

    I have a problem with my computer.
    I installed a dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows 8.
    I disabled the UEFI mode in order to install Ubuntu. But now I have more access to Windows, and I can't go into the BIOS menu to activate the UEFI.

    I tried all possible combinations (F2, ESC, F12, F10, F8, DEL,...) and none of them opens the menu of the BIOS.

    I read on a forum that if I put my battery, it will work, but it didn't.

    How can I access the BIOS? Is there a secret combination that I have not yet tried?

    Thanks for your help.

    The F2 key is the right one to access the BIOS.
    Try this method:
    Press F2, and then press the power button to power the unit in place.

    By the way: Windows 8 and 8.1 Win requires the permit secure boot and UEFI boot mode.

  • Cannot access fl.controls.Button in Flash Pro CS 5.5?

    I must be missing something obvious, but I made a couple of hours of research and you have not found the answer. I use Flash Pro CS 5.5 and have created a main class that is defined in the property of the Document class.

    In the ActionScript editor, it lists a whole bunch of ActionScript 3.0 packages and classes. In particular, it has a called fl.controls. When I try to add this to my import, however, the compiler says that the definition of fl.controls.Button (for example) is not found. Is there some extra steps (linked, paths to define libraries) that would allow me to use these?

    Note that I'm compiling/editing for Air for iOS.

    No idea what I'm missing?

    Thank you

    When you try to use a component (such as a button), you have one in your library.  That is to say, add a Button component to your library.

  • Re: Satellite P200-123 volume control wheel

    Is it a mechanical or software driven command?

    If I turn the wheeel 'up' the volume sometimes breaks down? It doesn't seem to be a 'stop' on the wheel.

    All tips are welcome

    Thank you

    Hello

    the volume control of the Satellite P200 is a software engine, so it has no physical stop like on older machines, which means that there are some disadvantages about the time to change the flight and the reaction control.
    Don t ask me why they have implemented this software wheel-driven, but each new series of machines there and it s predictable that they will stay with this technique...

    You work quietly with the steering wheel to avoid such phenomena as spin the wheel 'up', but the volume down.
    I have the same on my Tecra S5 and it drives me crazy sometimes, but I have to live with it...

  • Satellite P10 804: cannot modify the sound volume control

    Control sound Volume at the front of the unit is fixed now in all and cannot be changed.

    Can I fix it?

    I put t know if you can fix it.
    You have enough experience to disassemble the laptop?
    You have experience in welding?

    The volume control is mounted on the motherboard, it s is not easy to say what is happening there may be some loose contacts

    I think that it of better to contact a technician for laptop because it has more experience as a user of portable common like me and you!

  • Just after I turn on the laptop (before that turns on Vista) I get "cannot open volume for direct access.

    Just after I turn on the laptop (before Windows Vista turns on) the following message appears "cannot open volume for direct access.  What this mean and how can it be solved?

    Thank you

    Eddie

    Hi EddieLopezA,

    ·         Which version of Windows Vista is installed on your computer?

    ·         You have antivirus software on your computer?

    This problem may occur if another utility or service, for example a virus check program or a program disk monitoring, locked the partition before you try to run the Chkdsk.exe or Autochk.exe utility.

    I have some steps that may help you.

    Method 1: I suggest you to turn off all third-party applications and check if you have a similar question.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. open the start search box, type services.msc and click OK.

    2. in the Services (Local) list scroll the service concerned (for example auditor of virus or disk monitoring tool).

    3. right click on the service and select Properties.

    4. change the startup type to disabled for all applications 3rd - party that could be the cause of the blocking of Chkdsk problem.

    5. click OK/apply.

    6. restart the computer.

    Method 2: If this does not help, try to change the registry value and restart the computer.

    1. click on the start search box, type regedit.

    2. in the Publisher of the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:

    \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session manager

    3 change the Boot entry run of:

    autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C: (or other)

    TO:

    autocheck autochk *.

    Note: Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.  If you want to edit the registry to fix this I urge you to back up your registry before proceeding.
