• Portege A600-138 with Vista 32 bit does not see the computers in the Group Win XP network

  Hello

  My Toshiba Portege A600-138 with Vista Business 32 does not see the computers in the workgroup.
  In our office, the computers are all equipped with Windows XP.

  When I connect my laptop to the Local network, I don't see any neighboring computers in Network Explorer.
  I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes to talk to a specialist Service of Support from Microsoft, and the only way to have access to local machines, we found it had to enter the IP of the computer directly into the computer browser path field.

  I hope you understand what I mean.

  The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
  He meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.
  He said that probably the sellers - in my particular case Toshiba - supplied their notebooks with VIsta oem images that were somehow corrupt.

  Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this problem?

  That's nonsense for me
  The Vista OS preinstalled Toshiba which is same BONE as full Vista disc from Microsoft.
  There is only one difference; Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba and pilots tools and drivers and tools are part of the Toshiba recovery image that contains Vista, driver and tools

  You will find information that a problem has to do with the new Windows Vista network map.
  Windows Vista uses a new Protocol (Link Layer Topology Discovery).
  LLTD is integrated with Windows Vista, this is why they appear correctly in the network map.
  But the problem is that LLTD is not integrated with Windows XP, which is why they do not appear correctly.

  But you can fix the problem by downloading and installing the layer topology discovery responder.
  Install it and your PC Windows XP will appear on the network map.

• Portege M400 problem with virtualization

  Hello

  What CPU you have in your Portege M400?

  Virtualization is a function of the motherboard (BIOS) * and * processor type. The fact is that not all processors are dematerialising and then you should check the specification on the first Intel page.

• Page and mouse gel with Vista

  I have a HP laptop that I bought when Vista came out. I had a problem with the mouse and gel page, all functions stop working, even the power button. The only way to make it work again is to the United Nations, connect the power supply and the battery and then replace the battery. This happens once or twice a month and has always been a problem, I have not been able to solve. Is this a Vista problem? Can someone help me?

  Ricktify,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  I would recommend that you contact the manufacturer as this looks like a hardware problem.  If a unit is relatively new then you should have the manufacturer take care of it.

  You can try running the tests on the system to see is there is a software problem causing it to freeze.
  Run the System File Checker:
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  Try to do a check disk:
  You can help solve some computer problems and improve the performance of your computer by making sure that your hard disk has no errors.
   
  1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
   
  2. right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
   
  3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click check now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

  To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

  To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
   
  4. click on start.
   
  Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

  Note: If you select automatically errors in file system of fix for a disc that is used (for example, the partition that contains Windows), you will need to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.

  If these things do not work, you should contact the manufacturer.
  Thank you

• Portege M400 - Vista specific management V8.02.00 power parameters

  Laptop M400-170 with Vista OS and the latest downloads from Toshiba.

  If you open the specific property of Toshiba Vista power management sheet (input shaft = > "TOSHIBA Power Settings V8.02.00"), you will see a property called '' Method of cooling' - very interesting.

  But what is the difference between the two values "Battery optimized" and "cooling optimzed?

  After a few tests, the interest drops because regardless of the value of this parameter, even after sufficient time for stabilization, * FAN behavior remains unchanged: it blows needless and extracted only cold air... *.

  HM, the latest version of the BIOS? Maybe the powersaver software requires the latest version, I guess.

  Another thing would be to close some programs running in the background and throttle certain functions (for example graph stuff) down to see if it stops blowing.

  Can you please give a short feedback? Would be grateful.

• Portege M400 and Vista - load PSD ends with crash

  I am an owner of a Portege M400 (PPM40E) and recently upgraded my Vista operating system. All new drivers work very well except for the * TPM *. Here's what's happening.

  There's nothing wrong with the installation of security platform. I can create a disc to ensure personal (PSD), load and unload until the first time I got disabling my computer.
  After each attempt to load the PSD is answered by an accident. Two seconds after the sending of password, I get a blue screen that informs me the source of the problem: * PFN_LIST_CORRUPT *, a memory dump file is created and the system restarts.

  Anyone facing this problem? Does anyone know how to restore data from a backup manually the PSD created? The Restore dialog box does not accept the * .fsb file.

  It would be great if someone could help me with this as I have not 'clear' backup files that I had stored on the DSP.

  Thanks in advance,

  Rob

  Hello

  I googled a little and found details of error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT.
  NFP: Page frame number and describes the sharing of individual images of main memory where the driver running or orders of this application.
  If an application or driver is beyond this scope, then a BSOD will appear.

  Here are a few tips and proposals to solve this problem I found on an external Web page:
  -updated the BIOS and set the default settings
  -reinstall and update the display driver, audio driver, LAN driver, etc.
  -Reinstall the security help,
  -update the Windows operating system

  In the worst cases, this problem could be caused by a malfunction of the RAM, and in this case, the RAM modules should be replaced.

  Sorry, but I didn't find more info on this issue.

• Impossible to install Vista on Portege M400 - not compatible with ACPI

  Hello

  I have a toshiba portege m400.
  It has windows xp professional installed SP3 (the former owner he replaced with that of the xp tablet edition - I want to upgrade to vista so I can have the capabilities of the rear shelf!)

  In any case, I have a vista version - a version upgrade Home premium.
  When I try to install it it comes up with the error:

  +' This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed on a computer that supports ACPI. Contact the manufacturer of your computer for an update of the BIOS, or install Windows on an ACPI compatible computer. " +

  When I try to boot from the cd it gets up to when I type in the product key, but then he tells me I have to run this from my current operating system.

  I tried to update the BIOS (it is currently 1.8 and I heard vista needs 2.0 at least). I tried to install the latest driver from the Web from Toshiba - BIOS version 3.2.8 site but it says "this computer is not supported" even if I went through the procedure of choice of type of my laptop and spec and the pilot came on his list.
  Now I'm pulling my hair out.

  Can someone help me please!
  Would be to get a full version of vista (not an upgrade version) work and boot from the cd because it seemed to go further like this?

  Thank you!

  Hi guys

  I think I know how you will be able to update the BIOS

  I read here in the forum that in very rare cases, you have the Toshiba preinstalled OS in order to update the BIOS
  So in my opinion, you will be able to update the BIOS if install you the operating system from the Toshiba recovery disc.
  After installation try to update the BIOS

  After the BIOS has been updated you could install the new Vista

• Shutdown in Vista with a Portege M400 problems

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Portege M400 (do not know if it is a matter for the Council of vista or portege support plate, anyway). I installed Vista Express Upgrade a few months ago and everything worked fine for a while.
  But over the last 4 weeks, my laptop seems to have a problem when stopping down. No matter if she's just hibernates or shuts down completely, the computer automatically turns itself after being off for about 5 seconds.
  I have to use the switch to turn it off again (and then it stays off). Any ideas? I haven't changed anything and it could be a hardware problem, but my guess is that it has something to do with Vista ;)

  Thank you

  Alex

  Hello

  installed some software or tools/applications/updates? Sometimes, a small update can disrupt the entire system and preventing it from functioning. So, just check what has been installed and it may be useful to install the new bios, maybe update all drivers etc... Make sure that everthing is real and up to date.

  Hi Izzy Nagar,

  ·         Exactly when you receive this error message?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: You can try to reduce the resolution of the screen (lower), then check if the message still appears.

  Check also if the refresh rate of the monitor is set correctly and check the manual of the monitor for assistance.

• How to reduce noise from the FAN on Portege M400 with Vista?

  M400 (* _VISTA_ * with newer utilities for electric model) FAN blows very noisy constantly regardless of real need for cooling.

  Even with zero responsible jobs, less than 1% (flat curve) of the activity, the processor speed to 50% in the model of power and all power to the minimum settings, FAN does not reduce the speed. After a reboot, for a short time, the noise is bearable, we can conclude that the FAN seems to be capable of low speed.

  _Problem is the same, even if the M400 is outside 9 ° c! _

  On all the M400, we, the problem is the same.

• Portege M400 system hangs after Vista system restore

  My system crashed by doing a system restore. Now on startup it gives errors. When I boot from the CD, I go for the choice of the partition to install on and there is no partition, and it has this error:

  No hard drive found. Click on load a driver to provide for installing mass storage driver.

  I went to Toshiba and Microsoft for help. Or can direct me to the right solution. I can't find my recovery disk. I have just the windows installation disc. Is there an easy fix for this?

  * original title - cannot fine partition on Portege M400 during installation of Windows Vista Business 32 bit.*

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  For any problem, reinstall Vista, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

  Here is the General info on reinstallation of Vista:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
