  Hello

  Please don t compare models of European specifications and Americans and don t make updated mix. If you have European cell phone please use only the stuff available on the download page of Toshiba Europe.

  If you don t have problems with your device and system runs stable operations, don t do anything. That's just my opinion.

  Good day!

• Portege M400 - Toshiba Flash Cards crashes on Vista

  Toshiba Flash Cards crashes on Vista when windows is configured to use the standard color scheme "windows" under appearance settings, (for your information, I prefer to use this mode, vista runs faster, uses less energy and less ram system in this mode).

  However, he does not plant immediately, on the contrary, it seems to crash whenever I flip the screen (which happens quite often that I m using a tablet pc) with the version previous software it crashed at startup but which seems to have been fixed with this version, although not completely, but when it blocks it completely will not close even if I force the Task Manager to end the process (rather than just the) Task).

• Portege M400: update XP to Vista causes the page fault in nonpaged area

  I spent several hours working through the Vista upgrade only. After a restart the process, I get a BSOD now reporting a page fault. Microsofts advice was to regularize the upgrade and then try again. Useful (or not) This resulted in the same second time around. The office is now closed for the weekend, probably because no one gets questions Friday night / on weekends?

  There is a KB on support.microsoft.com (kb 939720) which refers to a similar problem and a fix, but you can not download it - you must call. All other users Portege had the same problem and how they have solved their?

  Hello

  just a quick question: have you already installed the BIOS compatible Vista on your computer? It s one of the most important steps before installing the 'wonderful' on your drive Vista hard (I don't understand why you need but it s OK your machine... ;))

  If it isn't already, go to the website of Toshiba Driver download and download the latest BIOS for machine (Vista compatible) which is absolutely essential if you decided to put Windows Vista on your computer.

  Here´s the link:

  Would appreciate any comments about your situation.

• Portege R830 - updates BIOS and USB 3

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Portege R830, business management Windows 7 (SP1) 32-bit (for work).
  I also start Linux Mint 14 64-bit, that I installed it on a portable USB HDD (non-professional).

  I recently bought a 3 USB HARD drive, but when I connect it to the USB 3 port on my R830, it gives me only USB 2 speeds (25 MB/s).

  I checked with some diagnostic utilities (usbdeview, etc.), who say that the drive is connected in USB 2.1 mode.

  The drive reports itself as being 3 USB, cable is USB 3 (SuperSpeed) and the port that I use on the R830 is 3.

  I feel the same way, if I boot on windows or linux.

  I've updated all the drivers on the two operating systems, does not.

  then I tried to update the BIOS, but I get the following error:
  "An error occurred during the preparation of the updated environment.
  You have not given the permission to execute the update".

  For the record, it's the BIOS I'm leaving, & to.
  BIOS version: Current Ver.2.80--> updated Ver.4.10
  THIS Version: Current Ver.1.10--> update Ver.1.60

  Does anyone know why I wouldn't get USB 3 speed (which, for my drive, are expected to be around 40-50 MB/s), or why all the diagnostics say USB 2?

  Does anyone know how to overcome the problem of updating the BIOS?
  (I tried in safe mode, disable AV, disabling NX)

  See you soon

  This USB driver is installed?

  Please try to install it and check again speed USB.

• Portege M300 - update Bios without battery

  Hello

  Currently, I am trying to fix a problem that I have with my laptop (Portege M300) of the battery.
  I have been informed that the bios update should solve this problem, but when I try to update I get error "the AC adapter is not connected, or battery power is not sufficient.

  Now, the power adapter is connected and works well, but the battery is on 4% of costs...
  This is the exact reason, I'm updating the bios!

  Does anyone know how I'm supposed to solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance,
  Chris H

  Hello

  I m not very good if the update of the BIOS might help you what it s a battery problem
  Have you noticed this problem on the first day of purchase?
  I mean if this issue was not present the same using BIOS in the past, then it wouldn't be a matter of BIOS but material, possibly a battery

  I think that the battery needs to be checked.

• Portege M100 - update Bios for Win XP does not work

  I have 1.4 BIOS and tried to use the bios on the download page, tell me the bios is not suitable?
  Why?

  Hello

  Common modules are installed on your Portege M100?
  If this isn't the case, then you must install the common Modules in order to be able to run the BIOS update!
  The common Modules is an essential component of Windows systems.

• Satellite A110-352 - update BIOS (MS-MS-BACK/Vista x 64)

  I want to upgrade the BIOS on my cell A110-352. I run Windows Vista Business x 64, however, the utility of the bios for vista in the downloads section shows an authorization error (even when I run the program explicitly as an administrator).
  Aid said that there are two ways to update, on of them is classic cd-rom boot, sort of update of ms - dos, but the MS-DOS software for the update of the bios is not provided in the download section.

  I was hoping that with a newer BIOS, all my 4 GB of RAM could be recognized.
  Any idea, what tool/procedure is best to use for the update of the bios.
  I hope someone can tell me where I can find the zip file, described in the 'how to' on the Toshiba site.

  Hi Roderik

  Let's talk facts;

  Is that ONLY the BIOS Win versions are available on the European driver Toshiba page. These BIOS can be improved by running only the Windows operating system.
  The traditional BIOS update is not available on the Toshiba page it simply doesn t exist
  So if you want to update the BIOS, you will need to use the version on the page.

  So now, let's talk about the issue of ram of 4 GB.
  Is that different components need to support 4 GB if you want to use 4 GB memory full. The components are so; BIOS, Chipset and Windows OS.
  If on this components will not support the 4 GB then you will not be able to use it

  This means that an update of the BIOS will not use the 4 GB if the other parties will not support 4 GB!

• Portege M800 - update BIOS stucks - Windows 7 32 bit

  Hello world!

  I have a problem.
  I downloaded the update to the BIOS of Toshiba Hompage.

  The update started successfully, but the point of "BIOS News Flash ' to 'treatment block 26 of the 33"the stucks updated!
  I'm waiting for almost 2 hours, but nothing happens.
  My screen freezes, I can't move the cursor, the clock shows the time even... then nothing happens...

  Is this normal?
  I don't think, but it's my first update of the BIOS, so I'm not really familiar with it...

  Anyone have an idea?

  It would be great help!
  Thank you!

  Hello

  It's different not a common BIOS update process
  The update of the BIOS should not take much time.

  In your case it is possible that something was wrong during the flashing process and module ROM was not properly flashed.
  I think that you are in difficulty and in my opinion, only the ASP technician would be able to help you.

  The BIOS ROM must be flashed again using a crisis procedure and this can be done by a technician of the ASP.

• 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.

• Update BIOS question on Satellite A200-25 b

  * Hello! *

  I have a dual boot with windows xp/ubuntu. I want my my BIOS for more functions but can I replace the v1.7 for the v5.6? I read: «Ce Bios is only compatible for laptop computers equipped with Windows XP» -->

  5.6 BIOS and my computer

  I don't want to crash my computer.

  Sorry if my English is not perfect... I'm French.

  Hello

  I suggest that you follow the updates to the BIOS in Windows XP Home edition. The reason v5.x upgrades are available (and say that the BIOS is only compatible with laptop computers equipped with Windows XP) because they are updated BIOS to allow installation of Windows Vista.

  If you do not want to upgrade to Windows Vista, stay with the WXP BIOS in the range v1.x - v2.x (also check whether or not the BIOS is specifically for Windows XP).

  I hope this helps.

• Modem will not accept the drivers on Portege M400

  Hello

  I have a Portege M400 built from a unnatended installation, which accepts all Bluetooth, Screen Rotation, etc. Disk utility HARD drivers but it won't accept and install THE modem drivers. I tried the drivers from the Toshiba tools disk and two drivers XP modem on the Toshiba site.

  The modem is installed and works fine when using the product recovery image, but the drivers will not work after the installed unnatended be applied.
  The unnatended disc has also included modem drivers, but of course, they do not pick up any.

  Is it possible that I can get my Active Modem?
  Thank you very much

  Rob

  You said that the modem is working after installation of the recovery CD.
  One question; Why you n t want to use the Toshiba Recovery CD?
