• 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.

• How to reduce the noise of the big 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.

  How to work with M400 in an environment quiet?

  Hello

  Toshiba has designed the special version of the BIOS and it was a long time ago. This version of the BIOS has been designed prior to the launch of Vista, and now we can not say that it is not for Vista.
  Of course, it is not for Vista.

  In Vista, there is a fairly new situation. At first, I must say that it is well known that Vista uses more resources than Windows XP Home edition. Secondly, you know very well that M400 has a lot of background processes running. If I remember well under Windows XP Home edition, there was between 60 and 70, ongoing process. Can you please tell me how are running processes on your M400 running Vista?

  It's really not easy to say what to do. I think that you have two choices: either wait that Toshiba has do something (can take a long time) or try to reduce all the processes running and try to optimize the operating system. I don't think this will help a lot, but you can try.

• Portege M400: Vista does not see the CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I have improved my M400 for Vista, and now it seems that I have a problem with the driver for my DVD player.

  Any ideas?

  Vista uses the Microsoft own driver and you don't need any special drivers to get the job of CD/DVD drive.

• 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

• Portege M400: Where to find Windows Vista 64-bit

  Hello!

  I've owned a Portege M400 for a period of 3-4 months now, and I wonder if there is even one person out there who managed to get this laptop computer working under vista 64-bit.

  I finally got bluetooth drivers to work, after the arrival of drivers available. But the following list does not work or I have not found drivers that work.

  -The buttons below the LCD
  -Accelometer (and all the utilities like screen rotation or to do something about tilting machine)
  HARD disk utility - protection (I installed Vista drivers, but they totally destroyed the machine and I had to restore system did not start after the installation of windows)
  -Fingerprint reader

  And I could live if I couldn't get buttons and accelometer to work, but still it would be great that the computer laptop everything would work.

  I'm starting to lose hope and I am already planning to install pirate Vista 32 bit in this laptop... Because it seems that it was a mistake to buy 64-bit ultimate. Some drivers Toshibas indicates they are pilots 'vista', but they do not yet work with the 64-bit version, which has little frustrating...

  In any case if someone could help me I would appreciate it a lot! Because I'm getting slowly frustrated with this problem with vista 64-bit.

  Thanks in advance

  I really understand you, but there is nothing to see! Toshiba Vista 64-bit drivers are not available on the Toshiba page. Nothing!

  Of course, you can use a Vista 64 bit on laptops, but you will get not all 64-bit drivers. Maybe more later but not at this time!

  So either you will switch back to Vista 32 bit or you need to use this notebook without 64-bit drivers. But this is not recommended

  On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find all the Vista drivers required for a Portege M400.
  There is also a Support Button driver and this driver allows you to customize and TOSHIBA special button preset settings.
  There is also a Tablet PC for Vista Extension Package!
  This package installs a range of important public services and contains this apclations:

  TOSHIBA Rotation utility: Set the orientation of the screen by default as the system to be used in the transition from the PC to Tablet mode, or vice versa.

  TOSHIBA Tablet PC buttons driver: You can dedicate the buttons on the tablet to perform common tasks so that you can easily use your tablet PC away from your workstation. For example, you can dedicate a button to open a program or to change the orientation of your screen.

  TOSHIBA accelerometer utilities: These utilities are a set of material utilities that work with the integrated motion sensors you machine. With the accelerometer, your machine will be able to detect how you're holding it at one point. You can set the machine to perform a specific function when the device is tilted quickly left or right, either at the front or back. You can also take control of the cursor in some applications and move by leaning the PC in a certain direction

• 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

  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.

• Vista on Portege M400: mouse keeps blinking

  Hello
  I installed Vista Ultimate on a whole new Portege M400.
  The mouse cursor does not stop flickering.

  He replaces briefly about 2 times a second form the usual arrow of the 'blue circle', indicating a change of context.
  No idea why and how I might solve this "feature"?

  Thanks in advance

  To be honest, I have no idea why your cursor blinks.
  But we're not sure, this laptop comes with Win XP, and I assume that the mouse work correctly on XP installed. Am I wrong?

  Well, in this case, there must be something wrong with the software.
  Maybe you have installed the drivers of Toshiba together in the wrong order or some drivers are missing. Maybe the graphics driver must be updated. Who knows?  :|
  Issues are rare and it of necessary to study!

  Please install all drivers as mentioned in the Toshiba installation instructions txt file that is located on the driver page.
  Then update the Vista of the State!

• 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

• Cannot install Vista Business on Portege M400 - IDE issues

  Hi guys... I am looking for your help.

  I downloaded all the new Vista drivers avaiable from Toshiba in support of the new installation of Vista business on my old Portege M400, that came preloaded with a version of XP Tablet and kept their loan on a CD.

  I also upgraded the version of the ACPI BIOS to the latest available 3.80.

  I insert the first CD of Vista professional and do a boot. (I also have a n upgrade Vista Business CD but I want to do a clean install).
  I go past the first steps and choose Install.
  I am faced with an error message "no disk has been found. "Click on load a driver to provide a device for installing mass storage.

  Looks like Vista is not able to see the IDE drive to the edge and it's a driver problem.

  I touched the "Rescan" button available on the windows installation and another message appears: "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct driver, and then click OK. »

  Pls tell, what new drivers since available downloads of drivers Vista for my model 400 ML PPM40E, should I choose here for my Vista installation recognizes the disk available?

  Hello

  It is very easy to solve this problem.
  If you would look on the page of the European driver Toshiba (Portege M400 section), then you will notice that a RAID driver is available for this model of laptop.

  Impossible to install Vista because it cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of RAID driver!

  You must install the RAID driver first and then you can proceed with the installation of Vista.
  As far as I know the Vista installation accepting the USB flash key you can use this key to include the RAID driver.

  Hope I could give some useful advice.

• Portege M400: click right button on the pen does not work

  Hello

  I can't button right-click on the barrel of the pen to work with my new Portege M400 tablet PC. I tried with the option 'Use the stylus buton click-right' in the 'Pen settings' tab 'settings in Tablet and stylus' dialog checked and unchecked, but none worked.

  Is the stylus defective, or worse still the computer? Or can anyone suggest how to operate?

  Thank you

  Toby

  PS: "pen" should be "nep" reversed in option, tab and dialog names above, but the silent filter profanity does not accept the word "nep" (reverse).

  Hello

  You have this problem since the first day? Please remember that the pen is not in a very long distance from the screen. As you know if the distance is too great the pen will not work as usual.

• Portege M400 - Vista installation under the version of BIOS 1.80

  Hello

  I came to the decision to install vista on my M400. I upgraded my BIOS to 3.40. However, I really only want the quiet fan so I was wondering if it was possible to run Vista under BIOS v1.80 and, if so, whether it would impact performance in any way.

  AFAIK Portege M400 (PPM40) is supported in Vista, but I don't really know what will happen with fan and noise. Just testing everything. If you don't like Vista, you can install recovery image at any time again.
