• 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.

• On Portege M400 Vista recovery disc creation

  I upgraded a M400 that came with XP to Vista Business. The Toshiba Recovery disk utility delivers a message 'no partition found HARD disk'. The management console displays a recovery partition - but there probably still recovery XP info.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to transfer in a Vista recovery image in this partition? Is this available at Toshiba somewhere in the world? I can get my tech support people to hunt it if we know that there are...

  Hello

  Maybe you should correctly format the drive and delete all partitions with an external program (like UBCD-> "Ultimate Boot CD") and then try again.

  It may be that the XP recovery partition blocks the new recovery/installation process.

  If I were you, I would try this format-thingy.

  If not, take another HARD disk and try with that. ;)

• Where to download Ulead Movie Factory for Portege M400 & Vista

  Hi all

  I have upgraded from XP to Vista on my M400 and want to go Ulead Movie Factory. Download only what I see is a patch, but I have no more than the original. Anyone know where I can download the original from?

  Thank you

  Steve

  We did not like the software pre-installed on the image of Toshiba Ulead Movie Factory.

  If yes then I guess this program shipped with the laptop and cannot be installed separately.
  You will use the Toshiba Recovery CD and would like to reinstall the laptop to use this program, either you buy a full version.

  Best regards

• Portege M400: Vista performance

  I recently updated my M400-146 for Vista Ultimate (32 bit) and Vista works ok, but not quite as expected. If I compare the index experience Vista on some systems, the M400 compares poorly.

  On the M400 (Core 2 Duo 2 GHz + 2 x 1 GB PC-5300) I get a performance index of: -.

  Overall rating = 2.6, CPU = 3.9, memory = 2.6 (other values seem ok)

  On a desktop system (Core 2 Duo E6600 + 2 x 1 Go PC-6400 (DDR2-1066), integrated Intel graphics) I get: -.

  Overall = 3.8, CPU = 5.3, memory = 5.6 (limited by the integrated graphics card)

  On a non-Toshiba laptop (PM - 1.8 GHz, 2 x 1 GB);

  CPU = 3.8, memory = 4.0

  So the laptop with a CPU and RAM much slower, much slower than the M400 better scores for memory and about the same for the processor.

  One thing I've seen, is that Vista described the experience index as "not rated". If I manually run WinSAT still see errors about "RDTSC to QPC is too high."

  Anyone else see the RDTSC to QPC delta error? The index of the experience you get?

  I have to say that I compared the performance of the M400 with SiSoft Sandra running two XP Vista & under Vista Sandra reports a little less than half the performance of XP on all measures.

  Hello Mike

  What to say? A lot of people are disappointed by the performance of Vista. I have to be honest and say that this fact surprised not at all.

  I have this phone small and Nice, but you should try to optimize the operating system on your own needs and also to disable all the stuff you n t need for your work. Maybe you shouldn't focus on this score of Vista but try to optimize the system to run stable and quite fast for you.

  BTW: have you updated the BIOS to the latest version 3.20?

• 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.

  I don't see a driver vista for the DVD player.

  Any ideas?

  Steve

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

• Portege M400 - Vista - external monitor + Tablet feature internal

  Hi all

  I have a monitor to display large 24 "connected via the docking station on my M400. My question is, is it possible to also use the feature Tablet LCD inside and that's when my 24 "monitor using.

  The 24 "display is fine but the internal LCD screen is rotated 90 degrees, giving a black border top and bottom (portrait upward way) but the digitizer works in landscape mode. So if I move the stylus down it moves to the right on the screen :)

  It's so close to being good, I hope that this is possible. It would be great to work off the screen 24 "and to open Windows Journal to take notes on the screen of the tablet.

  Thank you
  Royce

  Hello

  Hmmm, if you want to change the orientation of the screen I would suggest to the Toshiba Tablet verification options.
  There you should find the tool called Rotation Utility.

  This utility provides an option to change the orientation of the screen into tablet mode and PC mode.
  If the laptop is set to Tablet mode, you can choose between portrait primary, primary, secondary landscape landscape and portrait high school.

• 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).

• 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. »

  Currently loaded on the XP: currently loaded poster IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers like Device Manager: "Intel (R) 82801 G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers and primary IDE channel."

  Hard drives shown are: Toshiba RAID SCSI Disk Device LD0

  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.

  Cheers mate

• 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

• Portege M400: How to configure command in Vista buttons

  Hello!

  Can someone tell me how to use the buttonsetting.ini to configure the buttons with the TBSbtnSt.exe.

  Hello

  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

• 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.
