• Portege R500 and Novatel Modem 3G on Windows 7

  Hello

  someone have a solution for getting the Modem 3 G build-in novatel works on Windows 7 in a Portege R500?

  I tried to install the driver for Vista 32 bit on my W7-Ultimate32bit. I have tried this driver:

  Installation starts fine, but the installer then a fallback and stops.

  What do I have to wait for a W7 driver?

  > Should I wait for a W7 driver?
  I think so. You can try to use the Vista driver but there is no guarantee for correct material work.
  I think that Win7 drivers will be available soon.

• WXP and Portege R500 - cannot add a new USB device

  Hello.

  I have a new Portege R500 Windows XP Home edition. It works great except for one thing, when I try to add a USB device does not install automatically.

  I get the 'Add new hardware' Wizard, who found the drivers and starts to copy the files... but it's like that. Animation of the files copy in place going and going and going, but never leaves. From this point that the whole machine froze (only the pointer of the mouse is sensitive), it ignores even ctrl-alt-delete and I have to turn the machine off.

  I tried several times, with a couple of different drivers and still get the same result. The device installs on my old M100, also running windows XP.

  If someone knows what's going on (and more important, how I could solve this problem), I would be really grateful.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  Compare 4 years, M100 (designed for Windows XP Home edition) and more recent Portege R500 (more recent hardware and Vista pre-installed) is for me quite flippant.
  Can you please tell us what external device to use with your beautiful Portege? Perhaps a printer?

  One more thing: have you noticed the same problem using different USB devices?

• Portege R500 USB Extrenal HARD drive question

  Recently, my boss bought a Portege R500 and I installed Win XP SP2.

  Installed all necessary drivers.

  It is, if I connect an external USB HDD's does not detect and I use the laptop after having removed the USB HDD applications hang up and it wont even stop.

  Can someone share a light on this problem?

  Thank you.

  It is not easy to share a lot of light on it. Who is the manufacturer of this external HARD drive? You have a software with this HARD drive that needs to be installed first?

• Portege R500 - keyboard USB Legacy support does not work

  I have a Portege R500-124

  I use it to dock in the office and the lid is closed, so I need to enter a password for DriveCrypt and generally control the boot/BIOS from a USB keyboard. But no matter what I set the setting that is inherited from the USB in the BIOS, the USB keyboard does not work. I tried the keyboard connected directly to the R500 when undocked and it's all the same. I also tried BIOS 1.6 and that's all the same.

  USB keys are working and I can boot from them, but no work of measures (for example, F12 to choose the BOOT device) keyboard - the R500 doesn't seem to have the functional USB keyboard support until an operating system (Windows or Linux) has started.

  Any ideas?

  > .the R500 does not appear to be the functional USB keyboard support until an operating system (Windows or Linux) has started.

  I can't confirm this, but I'm afraid you're right about that.

• Portege R500: How to activate the modem umts / 3g under Kubuntu 8.04? (Fn + f8)

  Hello

  I just installed kubuntu x86_64 on portege R500, but I can't turn on the modem umts / 3g.

  On Windows, I use Fn + F8 to activate it. When I use the key combination a new light begins to Flash next to the Ref. Leucht wireless meaming 3 g/umts is turned on but I can´t do on Linux.

  I have can´t activate so lspci even can not find the umts modem.

  I tried an option in the bios saying "Device Config: all devices / Setup by OS" (I tried the first option all devices), but I can't yet find the Linux umts modem.

  I also downloaded the utility toshet [http://www.schwieters.org/toshset/] but didn t find any option related to 3 g/umts modems.

  Any idea on how to activate it?

  Thanks in advance.

  FN key features are controlled by the tool designed by Toshiba. Toshiba doesn't support Linux for now and as a result there is no Linux tool to achieve this.

• How to boot from a USB - Portege R500 flash drive

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 running Windows XP, presented about 2 years ago and recently contracted a virus that has infected some of the startup files as the minute I connect it disconnects again, even in SafeMode! The quickest way I can think sorting is to reformat with the XP Recovery disk and reinstall windows.

  Problem! The CD/DVD drive on the computer laptop stopped working earlier, tried almost everything in the thread on this site, but had no luck.

  So my plan was to boot from a USB flash drive and do it this way. However in the boot parameters I only have the options of HARD drive / floppy drive / CD-ROM / LAN, none of them work. Does anyone know how to boot from USB flash drives?

  Any help would be really appreciated

  Hello

  As far as I know, it should be possible to boot from USB FDD

  I don't know if you would be able to boot from a USB flash drive, but it of certainly worth a try m

  Generally, you can try to press the F12 key when the laptop is turned on.
  A start menu should appear on the screen, then you should see all bootable devices.

  PS: as far as I know the USB startup was available in ToshibaHWSetup (tool of Toshiba which changes the settings of the BIOS under windows OS.) So I guess boot from USB must be possible.

• Portege R500 and Toshiba optical Tilt-Wheel Mouse

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Portege R500 combined with my Toshiba optical Tilt-Wheel Mouse. I use Win XP Pro SP2.

  When using the laptop will cut the mouse. If I plug the mouse into a different USB port, I can use the mouse for a while, but it does not stop.

  Then the same problem, but a reconnection to another work of doesn´t of USB port.
  I use the original Microsoft win xp driver.

  Hoody Bye

  Have you received the special XP driver with this mouse?
  If Yes, then install it.

  But to my knowledge it s common USB mouse that needs to use a plug n play

  Then maybe you should check the USB settings.

  Go to Device Manager and open the USB bus controller tree
  Here, you must mark the unique USB root hubs and select Properties.

  In the Management tab to disable the function allow the computer to turn off this device

  In addition I recommend upgrading the XP to the last State. I want to say that all fixes and patches must be installed!

  Good luck

• Portege R500 - RAM and disk SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a PORTEGE R500 bought in 2007, SERIES NO.48025469H.

  I have obvious problems with VISTA and WINDOWS 7. The two do not work well, because he seems to have a memory. I wonder if I can increase the memory and replace the drive with an SSD. I want to keep this laptop because it is perfect for all my needs.

  Thank you

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop can handle with GB of RAM, but has been bundled with 2 GB memory is not possible.
  http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Tege-R500-11z/

  What about SSD? SSD upgrade is possible and you can use 256GB SSD for upgrade. After this system will be much faster, and you will certainly more performance and speed.

• Portege R500 - low volume with Win 7 and Realtek driver

  Hello

  I have now installed Windows 7 on my R500 to prepare for the end of Windows XP to life.
  I've experienced this now with Windows 7 sound does not really work.

  Build-in speaker does not work and a speaker connected to the outside with amplifier can get just a little sound in the maximum amplification I googled and saw many people having similar problems.

  Does anyone know if Toshiba has a solution for this?

  Other people with laptop computers Portege have the same problem?

  Thank you
  Markus

  AFAIK the Portege R500 supports Realtek ALC262
  I googled and found some people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops from other manufacturers using the piece ALC262

  But I found the solutions :)
  Download the utility of small noise turn Mute Off after upgrade to Vista
  [Its utility to turn Mute Off | http://support.toshiba.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=1671893&pf=true] and unzip it with WinRAR or WinZip
  You will find a small file called "MuteOff". Run this file as an administrator and check if your sound would work.

  Note: All drivers should be installed as well as the Realtek audio driver.

  Your comments would be appreciated

• Portege R500: Card reader SD and ODD do not work - drivers needed

  I have laptop portege R500, product number: PPR50E-04X04WCE.

  last year, I changed the operating system and installed windows 7.
  Since then, I can't use the dvd drive or the sd card reader.
  And the control panel it apears two unknown devices, but I can´t find the controllers for these.

  What can I do to fix this?

  I assume you found unknown devices in Device Manager.
  Check it please http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78
  Here you can find instructions how to identify the unknown devices.

  I checked the Toshiba download under http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp page and your Portege is listed there, but under the option ARCHIVE. It is supported for Win7 so there is no problem to install all the drivers available.

  Check it out please and let us know if you still have the same problem.

• Portege R500-11Z: how to use the external mic and hear the internal speakers

  We have a Portege R500-11Z running XP and want to use Skype with an external table microphone and the internal speakers.

  When connect us the microphone to the Jack MIC the Portege, built-in speakers cut out!

  How to use an external mic and still hear the internal speakers?

  Hello

  > When connect us the microphone on the Portege, built-in speaker MIC Jack cut!
  Are you sure you used the microphone port and no headphone port?

  Have you checked your settings Audio from Skype?
  There is an option called ring through the speaker too or something like that.

  Please also check the Realtek HD audio Manager in Control Panel.
  There is a tab called Audio i/o.

  Usually, you can change the connector settings, by clicking on the small key-tool icon.
  Disable the option called Mute rear output when plugged headphones before

  As you can see is called headset and not so I m confused a little bit why the speakers are turned off when you connect an external microphone.

  By the way; There is also a tab called micro.
  Check if the two options that reduce the echo and noise are OFF

  Any help would be appreciated.

  This Toshiba recovery image or self created image this image that you use?
  If you have noticed this problem with own laptop preinstalled (Toshiba recovery image) I don't think that it is software issue.

  Did you speak with service days? I mean they should have enough experience with this model of laptop.
