Portege M700: Vista Bussines - what Toshiba Utilities I need

Hello

I am a new user of M700 and recently installed a clean copy of Vista business on my PC.
I was also able to install all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba site, but since I have not installed all the Toshiba Utilities so all buttons on my laptop do not work as it should.

I see that there are a lot of utilities available and might be useful as well but unfortunately, site Toshiba support Web does not provide all the detailed data that would be particularly useful for the user and it is almost left to the user to make from the name.

I'd really appreciate if anyone can guide me gently on what all of the utilities that I have to install to take advantage of the capacity and features of my machine and at the same time not compromise on performance.

Also, please identify the following utilities do?

(1) Toshiba tablet PC extension
(2) value to Toshiba pack
(3) camera utility (should I have this application in order to use the webcam with Skype?)
(4) optical drive Auto Lock (and market)

Finally, the touch on my Tablet function does not work and can someone help me please identify if I have this feature or not, as when I try to install the driver from Wacom to Toshiba website, he said that "supported hardware not found".

Thanks for reading & help!

Hello

On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find all the necessary drivers for the Vista operating system.
You can also find the full description on simple drivers and utilities that are available on the page.

On the page, you will find a red arrow and more header information.
There you can find the details that make the tool or driver.

So check for yourself if you need more help just after again ;)

Best regards

  • Portege M700 - Vista operating system factory reset

    Hi guys, I would really appreciate help, please

    :)

    I have a problem with the reset procedure factory on my Toshiba Portege M700 Vista,.

    what I do is the following:

    1 turn off the computer by pressing & holding down the power button
    2. turn power on by pressing the power button
    3. I invite me for the password (BIOS HARD drive), I enter pasword
    4. I press F8 and go into the Advanced Boot Options
    5. Select repair your computer, press enter
    6. I select correct keyboard in pop - up, System Recovery Options after
    7. I connect as a user by entering my password
    8. I select Windows complete PC Restore

    New window appears, saying "Restore your entire computer from a backup" - Windows cannot find a backup on the hard disk or DVD on this computer. The area where I could specify the path to the file is grayed out. It is not that I now have the road, but I guess that there is a hidden with the Vista partition install files that it contains (?)

    "" In a small pop-up screen (on the top one), there is a similar message: "no valid backup locations could be found..."

    In an ideal world, I would use the backup (plant) from the internal hard drive of origin, rather than purchase and waiting for the preservation factory / restore DVD...

    Thank you much in advance!

    Hello

    The explanation is quite simple. For some reason, your laptop can not find recovery saved on your HARD disk image. I can't say why, but this can happen if the recovery image is deleted, removed to another folder, or in the case of modified HARD drive partitions.

    Recovery image is set with the so-called markers and when you start the image recovery Search installation wizard these markers. In the case where the markers are not found, you will get this message on the screen.

    So now you have the problem because the mounting will not work. Only option for you now is to install the original recovery image using recovery media, but I'm afraid you did not create one, right m?

    You must order the original Toshiba restore disk or you can install the version of the OS using the Microsoft installation disc.

    What do you think of all this?

  • Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE Vista: all my Toshiba Utilities stopped working

    All of my Toshiba Utilities stopped working.
    Message appears saying "* stopped working" windows is looking for a solution.

    It was after that updates have been installed in the correct order as posted earlier in the forum. Not only the value added package configfree as well as PC diagnosis, etc.

    I have a Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE under Vista Home Premium.

    Any ideas? I think that perhaps is McAfee Security Center has something to do with it.

    Hello

    I suggest the following: recover your machine and update tools and drivers again. I don't know if McAfee is the cause of your problem, but if a system is broken on the software side, then, among the most popular and useful actions is to restore the system, and then being happy when it works again.

    Would appreciate comments on your success.

  • Portege M700: How to activate the touchpad Vista (by software)?

    Hello

    I use a Portege M700 Vista.

    Some time ago, due to a problem of cursor (he jumped at random on a different position in the text I type), I turned off (by software) the (use of the) touchpad. From there on, I use the M700 keyboard and an external mouse.

    Unfortunately, I have forgotten how I did it and am now unable to turn the touchpad... Even after spending a lot of time looking for the command (under Vista), I have not discovered its location...

    Any help woud be appreciated.

    Thanking you.

  • FN + F8 does not work which allows the Wan on Portege M700

    Hi all

    On my Portege M700 (Vista), I can see that by pressing FN + F8 should scroll through the devices and activate the internal device of WAN (HSDPA).

    But it doesn't seem to do anything.

    What could I do wrong here?

    Hello

    As far as I know that some models are equipped with the Wireless WAN functions.
    Did you buy the m700 with WAN functionality?

    Usually the WAN indicator lights or flashes blue when the Wireless WAN function is activated.
    The indicator will light up or blink to indicate the status of the connection to the WAN service.

    But note!
    The WAN card must be installed to use this feature. Some models are equipped with such a card, but NOT all!

  • Portege M700-130 + Portreplicator + external display

    Hello

    We have a Portege M700-130 with the PA3508E-1PRP portreplicator and have a problem with the external display (monitor) connected to the portreplicator.
    The OS is Vista Business. The external monitor is an EIZO S2401WE-GY.

    Now the question:
    * Can you just place your Portege in the portreplicator, start it with the key to the portreplicator and get an image on the external monitor to the connection of the operating system image without doing anything on your laptop? *
    It would already help us if someone with the Portege even and a portreplicator can give us his experience about it.

    Because we can't, but we have absolut want to achieve or better should. We have tested all the settings in the power and hardware configuration options. The point is: when the Portege gets started without portreplicator and is remplace replaced offshore in the portreplicator, then began with the portreplicator the external monitor goes black when loading of the connection of the operating system image. Only after that the laptop screen is fliped open, we get an image on the external monitor.

    Help or an answer, I'd be very appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    One of my friends has tested this on the Portege M700 Vista OS.
    It connected the external monitor using a VGA (analog) and DVI port.

    It seems that it works as you suggest in your ad.
    The Portege lid is closed and connected to the external monitor.
    You do not need to touch the Portege M700. He should start by pressing the key of the duplicator.

  • Portege M700 - Modem UMTS Novatell missing drivers for Vista 64 bit

    Hello

    are there drivers for the UMTS modem yet? (I have found that none on the Toshiba download site) It's the only thing that prevents me from using a Version of Vista 64 bit on my Portege M700.

    Could you (guys from Toshiba) please release the 64 bit Vista for the Novatel UMTS modem drivers?

    Thanks in advance,

    Matthias

    Hello

    You are right. Novatel Wireless Mobile Broadband Drivers and TOSHIBA 3 G RF Power Control Utility are not available, but maybe you can check if Vista 64 - bit DVD recovery exist for this model of laptop.

  • Portege M700-106: unable to start the task manager & programs after Vista sleep

    Hello

    In fact I am facing problem like below...
    Configuration: Portege M700-106 with upgrades (Hynix Kingston 4 GB, WD Scorpio 320 GB with jumper default config doesn't = no jumper)
    Reinstalled system from Toshiba DVD recovery, all updates possible on web too.

    However, when I wake Vista from the suspense Task Manager I think I can't start (continuous report) some programs (e.g. ThunderbirdPortable of SDHC), all other programs works well enough.

    Anyone can know the reason, solution for this?

    Thanks for help

    Staszek

    Hello

    As far as I understand, you are not able to use some 3rd party applications after the awakening of Eve Vista but other applications running ok only software Thunderbird Portable to the SDHC card.

    Well, I have come to the conclusion that the card reader can hangs after the awakening of the stand by mode or the ThunderbirdPortable should be repeated. Probably it s not a problem of Vista, but question ThunderbirdPortable.
    Have you tried to search if this is a known issue with this software?

    I would recommend this review!

  • Problem with webcam not fixed with Vista SP1 on Portege M700

    The Vista SP1 does nothing to the failure of Vista to recognize the built-in webcam Portege M700.
    The existing forum thread mark this question as a response, despite the link to the document toshiba mentioning the error messages entirely different from those cited by those of us with problems

    I find it strange that the M700 UK wouldn't have a built in webcam; is it really true?

    Hello

    I noticed a problem with webcam in time early Vista release, but it was linked to the Vista OS stroller and was solved by SP1.

    Sorry, but another problem with webcam into the unknown for me and as far as I know internal webcam works fine also on Portege M700.

    As you already suggested the internal webcam is not available on all Portégé M700 series. Toshiba notebooks, any series, are equipped with different hardware specifications and example to the webcam internal, in the light of the webcam and internal microphone are available on some models.

    Maybe no problem with a webcam, but some Portégé M700 does not really have an internal webcam ;)

  • What is the maximum capacity of the disk for Portege M700?

    Does anyone know what is the maximum capacity of disk for Portege M700?

    Thanks for the reply

    As I m wrong not the Portege M700 does support a SATA HDD.
    In this case we must avoid any limitation of the size of the HARD disk
    Usually, you can use almost all SATA 2.5 hard drives in you M700.

  • What is memory max in a Portege M700 - 12l?

    Hello, this may be a stupid question, but... here goes:

    "You can install up to 4 GB of RAM in this Tablet PC. Module of memory up to 2 GB in each of the slots. You must use DDR2 - 667 MHz PC2-5300 modules. »

    But I think there are 4 GB modules, if so, can I use 2 4 GB modules in slots 2 and get 8 GB, it is possible? or this laptop works with the max of 4 GB?

    Thank you.
    PS: maybe this isn't 4 GB and its (2 x 2)...

    If you Portege M700 (PPM70E) then you can increase the RAM to 4 GB only.
    To have 8 GB is not possible because the motherboard can handle with 4 GB of RAM only.

    You can use 2 x 2 GB (PA3513U-1M2G).

    Good bye

  • Portege M700 rotation problems after the upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit

    I've upgraded to windows 7 yesterday evening on my portege m700. It is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I installed all the drivers in 64-bit on Toshiba page and the Windows section. Everything works perfectly except the screen does not properly rotate when in tablet mode. I can press ctrl + alt + arrow keys to rotate, and I can also use the windows Mobility Center to rotate 90 degrees at a time. I wonder what I have to do turn once engaged in tablet mode, as it did in Vista. I have the Toshiba rotation utility installed, but it doesn't seem to be something. It seems that it does not receive a signal from the screen that it was shot.

    I need it for school, so any help is GREATLY appreciated.

    Hello

    I think that there are not all 64boit drivers for Win 7 published and released for M700 and you will need to also install drivers for Vista 64-bit!

    For example:
    * Tablet PC Extension v 1.0.0.1 for Vista 64 bit Package *.
    This package installs a range of important public services.

    Utility _TOSHIBA of rotation: _ define 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 tablet buttons 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 M700 Wacom does not respond after hibernation

    I've been using the M700 for two months and I met a very annoying bug. It is not mentioned in this forum so far, but there are other reports on the Internet who mention this problem too. (http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/showthread.php?t=16902)

    * Question: *.

    Tablet is placed in hibernation. When he wakes up, everything seems OK. When you use the stylus or the key functions, that the cursor does not move. Tablet and pen services have not crushed, but there is no link between screen/digitizer and software.

    + Technical support +.
    The series/USB connector is not reset after waking or hibernation is dead the serial connection

    * I tried solutions *.
    So far, I have reinstalled Vista, tried XP (and will stick to it because it's a better OS in many cases) and have reinstalled all kinds of drivers Wacom.

    * What we want *.
    Wacom has also seems to be aware of the problem but says it's a matter of Toshiba. I am impressed with the construction and the quality of the M700 (it is a replacement for my robust but now almost unusable M200 and I have a M400 too, but I never liked it) and this issue is the only glitch I meet.
    I would like to know if anyone else in this forum has experienced a Wacom-coma after the resumption of the hibernation or standby, and if so, if they have found a solution (apart from restarting their PC)

    And I would really like a response from a representative of Toshiba review of this question.

    Hey Buddy

    I m not a M700 owner and, therefore, I can not say much about this issue, but to my knowledge, there are a few different problems with Vista and hibernation mode.
    For example, device high definition audio, screen WLan failed after the resumption of hibernation.
    These issues were definitely Vista problems.

    Installed on Portege M700 Tablet d River was developed by Wacom, I wonder why the guy States that it is a Toshiba issue?  :| (perhaps because this Toshiba laptop s ;)))

    Anyway, you said that you have reinstalled the driver for the tablet of the Toshiba page and updated the Vista of the State. Check the BIOS updated maybe he could improve the functionality

    If this does not work I recommend you contact the ASP to find out if there is a known issue

  • Portege M700, Windows 7 and touch screen

    The Portege M700 was feature touch screen before I upgraded Vista to Windows 7. Now it does not, any more than the features of two fingers that W7 is supposed to offer. Any ideas on how to recover the touch screen feature?

    Hello

    I think that you need to install the driver for the Wacom tablet.
    The driver is placed on the page of the European driver Toshiba
    The WACOM Dual Touch driver for the integrated tablet is required to use the features of the tablet.

    There is also the Extension of Tablet PC Package.
    This package installs a range of important public services.
    Utility _TOSHIBA of rotation: _ define 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 tablet buttons 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.

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.

    But all of these tools are released for Vista when perhaps they will work with Win 7 too check it!
