• Cannot read DVD on Satellite Pro 4600 movies

  Hello

  After a clean install of Win2K on Satellite Pro 4600 I am unable to play any DVD movie. I am able to access the data of the DVD discs. The error message is:

  "There is not Windows 2000 compatible compatible dvd decoder installed on this system."

  I was able to play DVDs when running Windows XP.

  I searched online and on these forums for an update of the software for my DVD player (model SD-C2402) but have been unable to find one. I should be grateful if you would be pointing in the right direction.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I have good experiences with VLC media player. Try to use it.
  Back to your problem. I think you need to MPEG2decoder. Googled around and look for any W2K codec pack. After installing it, I'm sure that everything will work properly and you will be able to watch DVD movies.

  As I wrote already test VLC media player. It's really good.

  Hello

  I found the news that DVD-ROM Toshiba SD-C2402 and Toshiba SD-R2002 readers are compatible with your model of laptop. If you have info that Toshiba SD-C2732 can also be used you should try it.

  Moreover, in my opinion, it is OK that's just English allowed on this forum and can be understandable for us all.

• Satellite Pro 4600: WinXP - no hardware acceleration for dvd?

  I have a satellite pro 4600 pentium 3 800 with 128 MB of ram and graphics Trident CyberBlade XP card. The device is perfectly able to reproduce DVDs with the software alone by using PowerDVD 6. However due to the fact that my battery is almost dead, I would be able to play the DVD the most optimized battery settings.

  Setting of the unit (approximately 350 mhz) low processor should be able to play DVDs if backed up by hardware acceleration, since cyberblade claims to be a card directX 7 with motion compensation and idct. However 4 PowerDVD 6 PowerDVD and windvd 7 do not recognize hardware acceleration under windows XP.

  In the past, I had a similar problem with a laptop computer with a graphics card than cyberblade i7. I was then able to activate hardware acceleration using just powerdvd 4 and windows 98, but I don't want to resort to that.

  Can someone help me? Do you know any software reading with the support of cyberblade XP Windows? Do I need any other drivers? I have the drivers on the toshiba site, and they date back to 2001.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, I n t have any experience in hardware acceleration of the cyberblade card but mobile graphics cards are not similar with Office PC cards.
  As far as I know the unit has a support of the Trident Cyber BLADE XP video controller 16 MB VRAM external video and DVD material.
  However, you will find the Toshiba drivers on the Toshiba site but if you need one on so I would say to ask the support of Trident.
  But if you use no drivers Toshiba you can do at your own risk!

• New DVD drive not recognized on my Satellite Pro 4600

  Hi all

  I recently bought an engraver of DVD in NEC ND-6650 nine.
  This drive is NOT recognized by my Satellite Pro 4600 at all - neither Windows 2000 nor in the BIOS (v 2.60). BIOS updates higher than the 2.60 version are not provided.
  Does that mean I can forget about using the new writer in my old notebook?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Nils

  Hi Nils,

  I suspect that your new drive may be not be compatible with your laptop. Like all scanners to your new drive will be configured as slave or master (or CSEL possible), and this configuration should match your laptop.

  Usually your hard drive is configured as master on IDE channel 0 with optical drive is the slave on the same channel device. However, you may find that your optical drive is configured as master on the IDE 1 channel.

  Normally the setting is preconfigured by the manufacturer so you will need to check both the conficuration of your new drive and the configuration of your original drive to make sure they are the same.

  Kind regards

• I can build in the Satellite Pro 4600 DVD burner?

  Hiya

  Can anyone help with this? Has anyone equipped with a DVD burner (dvd - rw drive Toshiba sd-r6252)?
  Which models are compatible? I'm good fight opening and Exchange.
  Compatibility just in fact know.
  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t found any information if this drive is compatible with the Satellite Pro 4600, but you should be careful to replace the drive.
  You should check the dimensions of the car. Very important is the drive (master, slave, csel) settings because it is not possible to change this settings as on the usual desktop drive.
  I'm not sure about the settings on the Satellite Pro 4600 but the ASP Toshiba should know that.
  You can also order the caught player supported by the Toshiba service partner in your country.

• Satellite Pro 4600 - CPU overheating graphics card?

  16 days ago my tosh Satellite Pro 4600 has lost the ability to maintain 25 fps in a game online - IE. Diablo 2.
  He now plays to an average of 4 frames per second and ping gets up to more than 4,000... Needless to say that now, unplayable...

  I reinstalled the game... installed new XP and game on the D drive...
  Same thing... a program called SpeedswitchXP shows CPU use fluctuating 54 to 420, because the clocked processor slot general tab of my computer displays 422 now, not the 847 mhz it used to.

  Still, he surfed on the net and plays yahoo games of cards for example. at lightning speed, but not a rpg online... there work perfectly at 25 fps on average for 3 years... Irretrievably overheating / damaged CPU, graphics card?
  Anyone know? Another temp. program shown running at 64 c is worth a new motherboard?

  I can get one? Any ideas?

  Hello

  First of all, he should know that the processor and GPU performance are dynamically.
  This means that the speed and the performance changes if the temperature reaches a critical threshold.
  This could lead to performance degradation.

  In your case, the laptop is about 3 years old and I think that it s time to clean the fans to prevent the notebook from overheating.

  You can try to use the jet of professional compressed air to get rid of dust and debris.
  Such spays you can buy computer retailer.

• Satellite Pro 4600: Win2k with SP4 - cooler run all the time

  Hello

  last week, I bought a used Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 PIII, 1 GHz, 512 GB of Ram, WIFI and DVD burner. Great machine so far.

  After that I changed the FAT32 file system to NTFS and reinstalled Win2K/SP4 cooler runs all the time.

  TaskManager says that "THOT_KEY.exe" uses up 99% of the CPU power. Disabling this service reduces the power of the processor and the cooler was quite, BUT didn't really helped - lots of keys does not work.

  I ran a few utilities to disinfect as Kaspersky, NOD32 etc. to ensure that Ia´ve not taken some malware.
  Should I try a bios update or change some settings?

  Any ideas?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  AFAIK the THOT_KEY.exe belongs to the Toshiba Hotkey utility that controls the various key functions.
  If you disable this service, you will not be able to use the FN keys more.
  I m not 100% sure why this service uses 99% of CPU performance, but perhaps that it s not completely compatible with the W2K service packs. Where did you download this utility? I found it on the page of Toshiba Europe!

  In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the system again. This is probably the key!

  Good luck

• How to access the BIOS on Satellite Pro 4600 settings?

  Guys,

  I received a Satellite Pro 4600, unfortunately this laptop has 2 and a half proceeding on this issue. The first is MS2000, then XP then an incomplete installation of XP. When I start the laptop, it asks which OS I want to use. I have a legal copy of XP that I bought and I want to reformat the computer laptop and put on a new install of XP, the problem is how to enter the BIOS to change the settings to boot to a CD?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Steve

  Hello

  First of all you n t need to access the BIOS to boot from the CD.
  You can simply press the F12 key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
  It would show the available boot options.

  Alternatively, you can press the C button that would automatically allow the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.

• Satellite Pro 4600: No sound

  I can't hear any sound out of my Satellite Pro 4600. No internal speaker, my earpiece. According to Windows, everything works fine. Volume is not equal to zero. Sound is not attenuated. What can be wrong?

  > I bought this used laptop computer last year and so far I do not use it to play music.

  Maybe your sound driver was not installed ;)
  He s strange to me how someone could use the laptop a year long without a sound?  :|
  In any case, the audio driver is needed! Install it and enjoy new sound sense ;)

• Satellite Pro 4600: beep when the headphones are connected

  Greetings to everyone.

  I feel a strange audio problem with my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 headphone output port. Whenever headphones are used, bursts of low beep occur regularly every 3 seconds or so superimposed on what playing right now. Each burst lasts about one second and consists of about 8 fast beeps. The beeps occur after Windows starts and end once the system off. I thought that it was a driver issue, but I use the latest driver for my card, downloaded from the site Web of Toshiba (package name: s5105sndx.exe).

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you for your attention.

  This problem doesn't appear if the headphone is plugged or also with the speakers if the headphones are disconnected?

  If this happens only if the headphone is connected if there is something wrong with the headphone jack.

• Cannot change the contrast, brightness, etc. on Satellite Pro 4600. Help please.

  I can't control the contrast, brightness, Saturation etc... using the control panel of Trident in my Satellite Pro 4600. Could someone help me to activate these controls?
  Thanks in advance
  Andrea

  Hello Andrea,

  normally, you can change this settigs in the Panel, but to explain the way to change this would be nice to know what operating system you have installed.

  If you have the perinstalled Os, it might be that you have Win2000.

  Win2000:

  Go to the control panel - display - Advanced control and then you could choose between video, color or television.

  The Brightess could be changed to energy-saving, because the brightness depends on your setting of power.
  Battery high brightness mode could reduce your battery power!
