  I run XP multimedia.

  When the optical drive no longer works, I ran malware controls, then Mats_Run.dvd.exe.

• CD/DVD drive works, but does not read the CD

  Upgrade to Windows 7, last week. All right.  In the past days, have been ripping the CD for my MP3 player.  Tonight, the CD/DVD stopped reading media.  I can see the drive in Windows Explorer.  When I click on the drive icon in the WinExplorer, the drawer opens for loading; However, when I insert a CD and close the drawer, read access / the light blinks but nothing to indicate that the CD is actually read.  CD new no scratches.  Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

  If this is a brand new CD, the CD's may be defective or your disk may need an update of firmware to understand a new type of media.

  The laser may be dirty or co - is told in passing is not.

• DVD Player & touch screen does not work after last update DX1210 to Windows 8

  Hello
  I know. I should have checked the upgrade information before doing so, but I have upgraded to Windows 8 about 3 months ago and my DVD player and touchscreen no longer work. I don't know what else does not work.

  I searched drivers but can't seem to find a.

  Can someone point me to the right direction?

  Or do I restore to original settings - Windows 7?

  Which brings me to my second question. How to restore? I did not have a backup, but I left all my data on a hard drive.

  I can't find any help on any of these challenges.

  Thanks in advance.

  To be honest that I n t have this unit and don t have experience with it but I ve checked Toshiba to THE support page and of course, this model is not supported for Win8. What you need are utilities and tools specific to Toshiba.

  In my opinion, if the device is not fully supported you should go back to original Win7 and supported.
  I put t know why you didn t follow the Toshiba s advice on the creation of recovery media. From my experience, that the recorded data are unnecessary, and you will not be able to start the recovery image installation.

  What you need now is the recovery disk. Visit the Toshiba page if there is possibility to order a new. Otherwise contact the closest service Toshiba and ask if they can help you with this.

• Flash Player installs but does not work

  I've recently upgraded to Flash 11.6.602.171. I am running Windows 7 x 64 and IE 10 (32-bit edition). Installation said successefully Flash installed, but embedded Flash content does not appear on the web pages. All I see is a blank section where should appear the flash content. Still works fine before, it started just after an upgrade to the latest version. Shockwave Flash object is enabled in Internet Explorer. Go to Flash in my control panel shows that the latest version activex controls are installed. Here's what I've tried;

  • Through all installation and uninstall procedures set out on the Adobe web site. No differerence.
  • I uninstalled Flash and checked that it is uninstalled as described on the web page of Adobe Version 'find' according to the
  • Reinstall Flash and it says "Flash installed successfully."
  • Go to the page to find the Version and the Flash object is not displayed. When the page is loaded a gray area appears, then disappears, and no flash object shows. Do right click makes up the menu of the flash objects and I can access the Flash drive configuration manager, but can not display flash content.
  • I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times and get the same results.
  • Videos YouTube work fine. Only embedded objects do not work.

  Another thing I noticed is that Silverlight video does not show as well. Move the mouse around section of the white screen where video Silverlight should be, the mouse pointer changes to the finger and I click, playback of video with audio but no video. I also noticed that aero live preview on my taskbar now shows white screens with icons instead of a real overview of the windows. I think this may be a video display problem, but have no idea as to how to proceed.

  Any help is greatly appreciated

  Issue is resolved for now. By reading another post, I came across this;

• SD card reader recognizes that there is a card in the reader, but does not open it

  I have Windows Vista Home premium and not had a problem with the drive so far. I used this card in the drive before with no problems. The card still reads in my digital camera and I checked to make sure it was unlocked. When I insert the card into the reader, the card will appear as "Secure Digital Storage Device" under the window of the computer, but when I try to click on the drive to open it, I get an error message saying insert a disc in the "Secure Digital Storage Device. I've updated the drivers for the card and the card reader, but that has not solved the problem. Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Hi hopkinshoney,

  This error occurs with this particular SD card or all SD cards? Try to use another card and check.
  What brand of camera is it?
  The device appears in Device Manager?
   
  You can open the Device Manager window by clicking Start and then typing 'device manager '.
  Click the entry that appear in the upper part.
   
  Method 1.
  You have installed the cumulative package of Vista SD card?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/933847
  Try that to see if that solves your problem.
   
  Method 2.
  You can also read this article which includes a hotfix:

  Method 3.
  I suggest to perform a clean boot to see if startup programs are causing a conflict with your hardware.
  Here's how:

• The CPU fan does not work on Satellite A60

  Hello world

  I have a little problem with my laptop.
  I noticed my cpu fan does not work. only the second fan are working fine. (general fan)

  my PC is a satellite A60
  You have a solution to find why my fan does not work?
  THX

  Hello

  I put t know what fan you mean because I saw only a single fan at the bottom of the unit. However, perhaps the second fan is hidden.
  It's not easy to say why the fan doesn't work. Maybe dust clog up the fan and cooling module may not work correctly. You can try to use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fan.
  If it doesn t work so I guess there must be something wrong with the material and to fix this, replace this part. But in this case I recommend to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. He has much more experience in such cases.

• FN + F5 does not display options - Satellite A60

  Two days ago, when I used Fn + F5 I could scroll through the options and choose different display options. Yesterday when I did the same thing the options were not available. Both times I connect to a projector. Restart does not help.

  Is there a way to reset the default settings? Perhaps, I hit a button and changed? This happened to someone else? Looking for a solution.
  I am running XP on Satellite A60.

  Thanks to all those who can help you.

  Hello

  It seems that the Toshiba Hotkey Utility and Hotkey utilities for display devices stop working.
  Go to the page of the Toshiba driver, download utilities and reinstall!

  PS; I recommend that you first remove the old tools of the operating system. Then restart the laptop and install Hotkey Utility, restart again and follow the installation with Hotkey utilities for display devices.

  Greetings and good luck

• Satellite A300-1 M 1 - skates from CD/DVD, makes noise but does not read the CD

  I own a laptop Satellite A300 - 1 M 1

  He reads some DVD, windows media player or VLC, but fails to read CDs and many DVDs

  The drive is recognized in Windows Vista. I updated the drives and rebooted. Then removed from devide Manager and rebooted. The removal of the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry and restarted it again.

  The problem is it exactly even. I can read a DVD (DVD movie) but not a CD (with data). I can read both disks on a different laptop.
  When I insert the DVD, the disc spins and in few seconds it appears in windows Explorer and can be played with Windows Media Player or VLC, for example. When I insert a CD with the data, CD towers, there is slippage noises, at different speeds. The mouse cursor changes briefly shhowing a disc below it, the orange light flashes, but after some 40 seconds or so only a message appears "Please insert a readable disc. Needless to say, I tried several different CD. Only DVD movie I managed to read on the player.

  The drive is listed on the device as a Manager:
  HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA - T50N

  The CMN Satellite A300 - 1 M 1 are:
  Intel CoreDuo P8400 2.26 GHz
  4 GB OF RAM
  I'm using Windows Vista (as it was installed on this laptop)

  What can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  I think that there is not much to buddy
  I think that it s a CD/DVD drive problem
  There might be something wrong with the lens of laser disk or disks are not totally compatible

  You could try burning the disks on another computer and could attempt to read copied discs

  Otherwise you will need a new CD/DVD drive
