Only 16 colors after formatting Satellite Pro 430cds

I have an old satellite pro 430cds which I recently formatted to reinstall the operating system.
I still have the original disk from toshiba which allowed me to re - install the cd-rom, but I am only able to get 16 colors the screen refuses to accept the same 256-color or higher resolution.

I tried different things and different drivers, update bios and all have proved to be unsuccessful. The graphics card is a chips and tech supervga card and has the correct drivers, but I am getting now at the end of my same with that.
I would like to buy a new graphics card, but I fear that the same problem would prevail.

Am I missing something obvious and someone can help me?

Hello

See the page of the Toshiba driver for the graphics driver from Toshiba.
Try to install it.
On the page of the Toshiba driver I found the drivers for Win95, Win3.1x, and WinNT.
If you plan to use the other OS so I think you should use the standard operating system driver.

  • White screen after the Satellite Pro P200 display driver update

    I installed the latest display driver ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 (8.432, on the site of Toshiba through Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. Reboot, everything seems good as much as the screen "Please wait...". "Windows Vista professional, but instead of showing the page of connection I get an empty screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as usual). All I can do at this point is to be able to, and I'm running out of ideas on how to move forward.

    Things I've tried:
    # start in safe mode, the video resolution or last known good configuration, result the same screen empty.
    # connect to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) is not possible because the system has not yet loaded the network drivers.
    # I can't go back to a restore point because Vista can't find (I did a manual after you install updates windows over a couple of days).
    I can run a system command line options of recovery and prefer to use it to disable the driver + if + I knew how before the use of the more radical options.

    A search on the web (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
    previous versions of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at to give a solution which does not exist for me.

    I agree with Hairyfool, you who should solve problems using an external display. If no image appears, then something with the material might be.

    Please give some information about your situation...

  • Black screen after hibernation - Satellite Pro A120 mode

    I have the following on my A120 problem:

    My Satellite Pro A 120 with professional vista crashes after I close the lid.
    The current settings in the power management standby is extended when the lid is closed, but I also tried with the sleep settings.

    After I opened my top once again, black screen appears and restart windows.
    Vista offers a solution online after the accident, but nothing appears as a result of the audit.

    Someone had this problem?
    I would appreciate any kind of advice.

    Hello

    I see you are using Vista on this laptop.
    This laptop has been pre-installed with Windows XP. Am I wrong?

    It would be very interesting to know if the same thing happens with the OS pre-installed Toshiba. Please check this!

    That say these issues can be caused by wrong or not entirely compatible graphics driver or lack of MS patches/fixes.

    I recommend checking out the various graphics and update the operating system drivers to the last State

  • Control problem of screen colors on laptop Satellite Pro

    Hi all

    No one knows how to stop the Intel graphics driver to try to improve my colours on the screen?

    I have a Spyder3 Pro and it seems to have graphics drivers interfere with it.

    all I want is for Spyder3 choose my windows color profile, NOT Intel.

    SPEC:
    Windows 7 32 bit
    Video BIOS Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD 2026.26
    i5 Intel Core with 4gig of RAM.

    Thank you in advance. :-)

    Hello

    I've never heard of Spyder3 Pro, but in my opinion this has nothing to do with Toshiba. In your case I contact the manufacture of the Spyder3 Pro software and ask how to choose the right color profile of Windows for this program.

    Hi people

    I just browsing the internet when my color on the screen of my old m30 of 11 months gone, I rebooted and all I get now is a blank white screen with a few lines down it. Someone at - it had the same problem?
    I hope that this is covered by the warranty.

    Hi Nigel,

    If your laptop is still covered by a warranty then would certainly consider a Toshiba authorized repairer. It sounds as if there is a fault either with your graphics card you screen.

    To be honest I do not understand your question, but if it is written by Satellite then must be satellite. Why only he can also be Satellite Pro?

  • Fan runs at full speed and never stops on Satellite Pro A120

    the cpu temperature is 30 ° c and the fan is always at top speed.
    I have try all the possible settings of the Bios.
    I can't update the Bios because there is only 1 version of the Satellite Pro A120 and is not possible to replace the existing one.

    Have you tested this change in method of cooling in the sleep tool? Make sure that the cooling rack is not dirty and nothing is blocking the vents.

  • Behavior of cooling after only the BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

    Hello everyone,

    I have two laptop computers, Satellite Pro A300 Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300 2 GB, ATI 3650 512 MB and so on...

    Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. Version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after that flashing the BIOS fan runs constantly, he does not stop.

    What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

    My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to fix this?
    Yet once again, the problem did not exist before flashing the BIOS and the problem is on both computers.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Best regards
    Osman

    > What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

    I doubt that there could be something wrong, I want to say that you said that after changing the method in cooling Toshiba Power Saver, the fans don't run all the time
    Usually the cooling modules are controlled by energy savings and the BIOS contains only the table fan.

    Keyboard of my laptop or on the left side of the laptop becomes too hot because on this side, you find the cooling modules that blow hot air

    Nothing so unusual...

  • Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - reset to factory settings after formatting

    Hello

    I tried upgrading my installation of Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 ultimate. I ended up format the partition and now Windows will not load and the installation hangs right on 0%. I don't have a disc of recovery for this laptop, is it possible to access the recovery partition on this laptp to reset to factory settings or a restore CD I can order and it will work?

    The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X

    Hey Buddy,

    If you have already formatted the Windows partition, you are not able to start the recovery of HARD drive more. Also there is no possibility to access the recovery files and start them, so the pre-installed operating system is necessary.

    The only option you have is Toshiba recovery disc. Only with this drive, you can restore the original settings of the box but I m wondering why you have n t a. It s mentioned in the user manual you have to create yourself

    In any case, just order a disc here and be happy ;)

  • Satellite Pro c660 does not connect to another wireless after format

    Hey all,.

    I have a Satellite Pro c660 and bought a copy of windows 64 bit with him - the laptop come with many software from toshiba on what I wanted really, I therefore installed windows 64 bit (fitness in the process).

    After the Installation I had some problems connecting to my wireless home (he was missing drivers, but have now install) but finally got it works.

    After having taken it round my friends last night, I could not connect to its wireless - the password has been good and I could see the network, but he just kept constantly defect - its network was on it, because his cell phone he was performing. -The only difference between its network and the spirit (that I can see), it's that she was using the TKIP encryption to connect, while I was using AES (my network card is Atheros). -Even when I tried to configure a network profile and have it automatically connect (using the same information she used, including the TKIP encryption) - it was always not.

    The ideas people? More missing drivers?

    PS - I really don't want all that toshiba nanny software on the laptop.

    Thanks in advance!

    > Any ideas people? More missing drivers?

    If you can see the Wlan network then it means that the WiFi adapter driver is correctly installed and the problem is between the router configuration problems WiFi and wireless network card.

    Are you abele to connect to other networks wireless at home?

    Please disable encryption settings in the Wlan router and try to connect to the Wlan that is unprotected.
    But note; This must be done only for testing purposes!

    You should also check if the MAC address filtering is disabled in the settings of the router.

  • After logging on my Satellite Pro only black screen and the cursor are visible

    I have a windows vista pro (PSAASE-00G004GR) satellite after turn on and typing the password for windows vista, the screen goes black but I see that the cursor moves & because it seems that the hard drive also works in th background, but I can't see anything except the mouse cursor , I tried to boor with other options (LAST WORK safe MODE KNOWN FEATURES... etc) but it's still the same only black screen and the cursor...

    I do not prefer the product cause of my data recovery on this subject, any ideas?
    thnx

    Hello

    You have the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAS hmm if you want to save your personal data, I recommend to remove the portable computer HARD drive and try connecting it to another computer via an external USB HDD controller. These cases of 2.5 HARD disk are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

    Then you could try to recover the laptop delivered together with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    But wait; have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?
    Check it!
    Maybe you could see something on the second screen.

    I think that this procedure could be useful to clarify what s wrong.
    To me this question looks like a small little dysfunction of the FL inverter.
    In this case the installation of the new operating system will help you not to solve this problem.

    But who knows the verification is necessary to find what could be wrong.

    Good luck and bye ;)

  • Satellite Pro P200-15W: after Bios Update 1.90 incredibly noisy fan

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200-15W, I recently made an update to BIOS version 1.9 and seems to have been a big mistake.
    After restarting the computer, I had a lot of software deconfig and the fan has become incredibly noisy.

    I have the problem with the Toshiba Vista registration software, I get this message: "registration of Vista has stopped working". I read other discussions, I don't want to just disable it in the start.ini file, I would actually solve the problem if there is a way.

    Is there a way to change the configuration of fans? I read a post from Toshiba on another model of laptop that has had the same problem of noisy fans after an update of the BIOS, they gave that a solution with a new version of the BIOS, is there a way to reverse the BIOS to the previous version? (recovery CD will be useful for this purpose)?

    See you soon

    Edgard

    Hello

    It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
    Why the table fan has been changed?

    Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
    This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

    Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive.
    The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
    But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software as "Vista record"!

    If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

    Sorry, but all I can suggest.

    Best regards

  • Satellite Pro U400-12y: how to use HDD recovery after the new installation of the OS

    Dear Sir

    I have the Satellite Pro U400-12y and give tem my friend use it when he gets back, the laptops it do format c: and reinstalled new windows.
    I try to do the recovery only by pressing f8 without answering.

    How can I recover my laptop to its state of origin as drive HARD recovery again in d:
    Thanks in adv

    Hello

    You will not be able to restore the factory settings because another operating system has been installed on the first partition.
    Usually by pressing F8 immediately after the laptop has been powered should allow the advanced on-screen menu. Here, you should choose option called repair my computer and Toshiba Recovery HARD drive.

    But if this doesn t work then you will not be able to use HARD drive recovery.
    In this case, you will need to order the new CD from here:
