• Portege 3440CT: Question about media port replicator

  Hi, sorry for my English...

  I have a question:
  I'm looking for a multimedia for my laptop port replicator.

  Do not include the port replicator (PA3042E-1DST) I found a driver for cd/dvd...

  Can I install a standard cd or dvd slim in the multimedia duplicator?
  Or he needs a car?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that you need this one: PA3042E-1DST Multi Media Replicator Port, but according to certain specifications, this port replicator can be used with different options. This means that you must PA3014E - 1DVD DVD Drive Kit or PA3015U-1CDD 24 x CD-ROM Drive Kit II.

  That s all I found.

• Portege R100 - question about the installation of the USB port and Windows problems

  Hello

  I just bought a used Portege R100, but I have some problems. Of course the laptop isn't a CD or DVD, player so I tried an external DVD drive, but it did not work. What kind of device I have to install Windows (not an edition of recovery or anything like that, but a whole new windows on the formatted HARD drive)?

  I also have another problem: whenever I plug a USB device (I tried the DVD drive external and a USB keyboard) when I start the laptop, it seems to hang. At least, I am not able to type anything more; the keyboard of the laptop is dead (the point where the entrance would still be flashing in the BACK platform, but typing. sth on the keyboard isn't doing anything). It is not normal, is it?

  I also tried to get to the BIOS, but I tried various commands (F1 to F12, DEL etc.), but I couldn't access the BIOS. It would be great if someone could tell me the command for it.

  Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the bad English, I'm not a native speaker :)

  Here you can see that XP installation isn't very easy, but can be done successfully

  as long as you are working in an environment with appropriate back-drivers back, you can use any kind of external (USB or pcmcia) CD player you want

  the bios is accessible by pressing ESC and the Start button

• Portege P7220: Question about C:\windows\system32\drivers\symevent

  I have a Portege P7220, bought in 2001 with Win2000. I tried to switch to XP, using the PCMCIA CD player I bought at Toshiba with the computer.

  1. in the first steps of the installation, he told me that I didn't have a CD player, with some info on "SCSI" which I did not understand, and he interrupted the installation of XP.

  2. I then restarted Windows 2000 and got a dialog box with the title 'NAV Autoprotect' and the message 'unable to launch C:\windows\system32\drivers\symevent. If I close the dialog box, the system apparently works.

  Should I worry about warning dialog box? A way round the problem that I encountered when trying to install XP? Would appreciate advice.

  David

  Well, I found that "C:\windows\system32\drivers\symevent" belongs to an old installation of Norton Antivirus, which I got rid of. But I have not found a solution to the problem of installing XP without recognizing the external CD drive.

• Question about DVD external HD (Blue Ray) players with Tecra M5

  I have a laptop TECRA M5 (in XP), although this could be relevant to other users of laptops with no internal HD DVD players.

  Is there an external HD (e.g. USB) DVD that I could connect my laptop? Then to watch HD movies on my laptop?

  If such a thing exists would it also directly connect to a HD TV (as my laptop has no HDMI)?

  Is there a way I could exchange my internal DVD for a HD one?

  Oh boy,

  I'll show you why you _shouldnt_ think about buying an external drive to your machine.

  1. Yes, there are a LOT of external HD DVD readers, most of them are hollow connected USB
  2. you could connect it to your laptop, Yes and no doubt you could play HD DVD movies on your computer, but NOT in HD from your screen only supports a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, but need to HD movies at least a resolution of 1280 x 720. Any sufficiently fast computer with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 or higher is able to display HD video, even if the computers are generally not advertised as such.
  3. No, you cannot connect directly to an HD TV, I mean why Don t you then buy a HD DVD player?
  4. Yes, you could, but you are quite familiar with the computer systems to exchange a player that is integrated into your machine? If you would really spend money for the reader, you should ask then spend the extra money for a technician. ;)

• Booklet: Question about DVD docking station

  IM new to computers
  The booklet and the dvd docking station
  When transporting the computer you will need to carry the docking station, if you are using DVDs.
  The computer keeps the cradle in place while on the move as an all in one device?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes the Docker and laptop are 2 separate elements which can be locked together and remain together until you unlock them. They can be transported as a single unit or 2 separate. Its a very good design as it all works as a single unit with the battery powering the two units. You need to distribute the docking station, if you want to use the DVD player but its not that heavy and much smaller than some portable DVD players

• Question about DVD watching on Satellite 2450-201

  Hi, I have a satellite 2450-201.
  and I'm sure that when I had it first I could watch DVDs, s without having to start, only now, when I try this the computer starts completely before it will play, now perhap it did this before but I didn't take so long to start, because there was not much on it to slow it down, what I want to know is : is it possible or just my imagination, if not how to reset it please.
  Thank you in antisipation
  Pete

  Hi Pete,.

  You don't say what operating system you have. To watch DVDs without having to start you would need to have Windows installed MCE. He would use a small area of your hard drive to store the necessary software to allow you to play DVDs without having to start your main operating system.

  If you have XP (Home or Pro), then it is more likely that your startup process now takes longer than before so that you can start your DVD software. In this case check for unnecessary tasks or processes by using the Task Manager and I would also recommend spyware scanning, removing everything you find and run Defragmenter and disk cleanup.

• Question about DVD drive on Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7

  Although the [Specification | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=131911] told my Sat - Pro A200 (PSAE7) comes with a drive DVD Toshiba, it is * NOT * installed in my machine. I tried to download what is called "dvdpl-20070807102909" (what is the program?) download from Toshiba site, but when I double-click on the "setup.exe" inside the application, Windows Vista says 'cannot install this application.

  I also watched inside the recovery disc that comes with the laptop, but nothing obvious to click to install the drive appears.

  Please what could someone help and tell me how to install this DVD player?

  It s a bit strange
  On the European driver Toshiba page, I could find the Toshiba DVD player software.
  It s version 1.10.06 DVD player
  So I assume it must be preinstalled on the Toshiba laptop.

  The restore CD that came with the laptop contains an image of Toshiba. This image should support Windows OS, all Toshiba driver, utility and software tools extra.
  Please insert the recovery CD into the CD/DVD drive and boot from this CD.

  This procedure will format the whole HARD drive and install the operating system again on the laptop.
  After a new installation, please check if the Toshiba DVD player is available!

• Portege M400: questions about fan and screen buttons

  Hello

  I just received a M400 and experience a great tablet, but I have two problems.

  Fan seems to be always, no matter how hot the cpu or the performance.

  buttons on the screen, specially the control stick, do not work after some time of use, a reboot usually solves it.

  I tried to reinstall the drivers as suggested on other forums, without success. It looks like a driver problem.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Hello guys. Fans are running because of the temperature inside the laptop.
  @Nicknick1: you are using the joystick. In this case, I guess you play. All series device with a maximum performance during the game. It s wasn't that asking the fans to run all the time.

  However: I put t know how much standby power version you have, but you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver the V7.08.00 changed to 17/03/06

• Re: Question about the CD/DVD player for Portege M400

  I have a Portege M100 - and the CD-ROM drive does not work.

  Whenever I put a disc in I can just hear the motor turn the disc, but the computer is not picking up the drive. Device Manager picks up flawless.

  It doesn't seem to be any firmware for this sorting (or am I wrong).

  I've seen a DVD player for a M400 on ebay and I was wondering if that would take on my M100.

  Before buying it, I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be compatible. It seems to be OK size wise, but I was wondering if my Portege M100 XP would be able to use it.

  The description for the drive I want to put in the M100 is below:

  Thank you very much for your time. :)

• Re: Need technical information about the CD/DVD with Portege 7200 series writer

  Hello
  just to clarify my last post should have read: CD and DVD rw burner compatible with the laptop above.

  all the best john.

  The Portege 7200 cannot be upgraded with a CD/DVD burner (drive).
  You can buy a dock like [this one | 5QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.ca/Slim-TOSHIBA-Portege-7200-Dockstation-Built-in-DVD-CDRW_W0QQitemZ170200420841QQihZ007QQcategoryZ14008] which provides a feature of CD/DVD drive!

  I m not 100% sure if this docking station can be improved with a CD/DVD burner, but you can try to contact the ASP in your country for details.
  Guys might provide information whether or not this player is available!

• A few questions about the Portege R100 upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege R100 of America with 768 MB of RAM, 40 GB HDD, DVD-ROM on the PCMCIA card. I want to renew the Windows XP Pro Notebook by updating the material.

  -How can I update a larger HARD drive?
  -What RAM should I update?
  -Can I upgrade the processor?

  Thank you for your help.

  holger112

  Hello

  You cannot switch the processor!

  You can upgrade the HD, but because it is an interface 1.8 "HD with an ide (50 pin ATA) the best you can find is a 60 GB HD (Toshiba MK6006GAH 60 GB) you can find them on ebay for a reasonable price

  You can easily switch from memory with a module 1 GB pc2700-dimm ddr1 (like kingston or corsair) in replacement of the module of 512 MB to a maximum of 1.2 GB.

  You can buy them everywhere

  Also note:

  install XP on a R100 is not very easy, but you can find lots of information on this forum, as here:

• How can I get a DVD ROM for Portege My drive

  I bought an external DVD Rom type Toshiba PA3246E and Realplayer says that I need the native driver for topay DVD movies. Anyone know where/what should I download.

  V

  Hello

  I hope that your player works properly with all the media you are using. This native driver is obviously not Toshiba stuff and Google all over the place and pick up some information about this.

  Sorry, but I didn t understand what DVD movies you want to watch.

  Good bye
