Portege M800-107: Power Management & HDD Protection Utility questions!

Hi all

I own a Toshiba Portege M800-107, I recently installed windows 7 (ultimate edition), which has improved the capabilities of my laptop. The only problems I see are:

(1) the utility power management, when I install the necessary drivers on the official page of Toshiba, the problem is that the package of added value is installed without the power management. For now I have more to come the problem using power options offered by Windows 7.

(2) the biggest problem is the HDD Protection Utility, that whenever I try to install the driver from the official site, it stops the installation with the reason that "material is not supported by this computer.

Out these problems the laptop works perfectly and quickly.

If someone could help me with my problems, I would be very much appreciated.

There is no special tool of Power Saver for Win 7. Value added package provides a few additional options that you can find in Win 7/Vista power management.

(> 2) the biggest problem is the HDD Protection Utility, that whenever I try to install the driver from the official site, it stops the installation with the reason that "material is not supported by this computer.

The HDD Protection Utility using the acceleration sensor built into the computer.
The point is that there are different M800 market and possibly your M800 does not support acceleration sensor. This could be the reason why you can not install this tool.

  • Re: HDD Protection utility has stopped working?

    I came just to look at the Toshiba PC Health Monitor yesterday and I saw that my HARD drive protection did not work. I clicked on the drive and all my functions are greyed out and I couldn't allow him once again.

    So I did some research on Google and saw that I'm not the only one having this problem I did what other people did and tried to install the HARD disk Protection software... once again. Well about half way through the installation process, I get the following error:

    * 2753.The error file 'startmenu.exe' is not marked for installation

    and you can click the 'okay' box that automatically closes the program. I don't know what to do now.

    I have a portable Satellite P755-S5269 I bought a week ago.

    Hello

    I studied a bit and it seems that the 2753 error file is not marked for installation appear under different applications so it s not related to the software Toshiba other apps but is generated from the Windows Service install detect old installation of software that cannot be removed.

    I recommend you download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and remove all detected HDD Protection Utility versions.
    In addition, you can also try to clean the registry using the CCleaner.
    Then restart the laptop, download and run the HDD Protection Utility setup once more.

  • Where can I find XP x 64 drivers for Portege R500 - hotkey / power management?

    Where can I find the downloads that will enable the power management or hotkey support for my Portege R500?

    I already installed the drivers for everything except the fingerprint reader (do not want), tpm (really envy) and hdd (tos620a) motion sensor (not embarrassed at this time). Most of the drivers are recent original sites of the seller or, in the absence of those, leaving Toshiba 64-bit Vista download areas.

    Everything else works generally: wifi, graphics & chipset, sound, lan, bluetooth stack, cardbus, card reader, etc.

    However, after doing this, are the following questions:

    FN keys do not work for suspend to ram, suspend-to-disk, * screen * brightness *-essential to extend the life. FN keys for digital/Board pad, rocker of external surveillance * work

    Dedicated toggle backlight button does nothing

    However, in order to get the lifetime of battery beyond ~2.5 hours and closest alongside 7.1 hours, I need to turn things down / stop occasionally. What software can help and where I can get, as it runs on Windows XP x 64 edition?

    Note:

    I tried packages of 32-bit xp which provides Toshiba, they do not seem to work on x 64. The package 'chopsticks' requires 'cmod', but 'cmod' gives this error:

    Installation of Modules common TOSHIBA
    Not an ACPI machine. Cannot install TOSHIBA ACPI peripheral logic.
    Ok

    I tried the 32-bit xp package called 'pwrsav '; It installs a bad help link in my Start menu and adds a few exes, tpsmain and tpsoddctl, to my automatically starts. These 32-bit executables left immediately after execution.

    I tried to install packages of 64-bit Vista from Toshiba hotkeys / common modules / power management, but the only one of the three I can find via toshiba.co.uk is the common modules, and unfortunately this zip file contains only .inf, .cat and .sys files, no program installation.

    Motivation:
    I use a new installation at the same time because the default installation of Vista is unusable (900 MB of memory used on a fresh startup desktop, disk divided into several partitions, trial, adware and with broken software at left and right)
    I use x 64 because I am software engineer the next product needs to work on x 64, and this new laptop was a likely first candidate

    Hello

    Bad news first :(

    The European driver Toshiba page provides the drivers for XP 32 bit and Vista (32-bit & 64-bit).
    I did find all the drivers for XP 64-bit OS.

    As much as I know XP 64-bit drivers is not exist for one of the series of Toshiba laptops.

    Now a new better ;)

    I found a tool called display Tuner.
    It offers convenient access to the monitor settings, such as brightness, contrast, color settings.

    Perhaps this is an option for you.
    Google a bit

  • Portege M800 - error of HARD disk protection

    When I run the 'Toshiba HDD Protection Settings', I get the error:
    Can not find the Service for the Protection of HARD drive

    It's a laptop Toshiba Portege MM800 newish - has many applications and data installed (so I want to avoid wiping the HD and start again).

    What is the likely cause of the problem? And how to solve?

    The parameters 'Toshiba HDD Protection' has all the dependencies required to operate for its operation (services, etc.)?

    Thank you

    A friend has a laptop Portege and AFAIK for the cable HARD drive tool there is a service in the Windows Services that must be activated.
    Go to run => services.msc and look for this service. The service should be started and always on (automatic startup type).

  • Satellite A135-SP4088: need drivers XP for power management and Hotkey utility

    Hello
    I could not find the drivers for the toshiba A135-SP4088, we bought 3 of them to the office and it is almost impossible to use with vista, so we go to XP SP2 and manage to get almost all pilots of the other models, but I can't find 2 utilities that work with this machine, they are:
    Toshiba power management (remember the bulb in the taskbar) :D

    Hotkey Utility (so I can change the brightness of the screen and go to hibernation (Fn + F4)

    I have al the rest works very well, but these two are a real problem, none of the ones I tested worked, some same crash XP and must return to a previous restore point.

    also, I did not install ACPI drivers, are they necessary?, what are those that show I'm looking for? given that the model does not exist in the csd.toshiba.com site.

    Now, how one of the largest manufacturers of laptops in the world can build a such nice computer without drivers for the most common operating system?, can someone explain me this because I sincerely do not understand.

    Thank you very much!.

  • Portege M800-107 - weak WiFi signal

    You have a Portege M800 wireless problem? I have weak signal problem. This problem is specific or?

    Hello!

    To be honest, I think that you are off of the router if you have a weak signal.
    Have the latest driver WLAN and the BIOS?

    Check if the laptop and the router use the same WLAN standards and disable all security features in the router like encryption, the hidden SSID, MAC address filtering settings, firewall, etc.

    You have security software on your laptop? Disable it and test it again.

    Good bye

  • Re: Portege M800-107 unresponsive

    Hello

    I lived an usual accident of Windows Vista on my Toshiba and had to shut down the computer using the power button on my keyboard, because the Alt + Ctrl + delete function did not.
    In the first time, I tried to turn it back on to the it, I got the usual message, warning me that the computer was off not correctly. I chose to run Windows in safe mode and close it properly.

    However when I switched back on my laptop it does not meet all orders at all. I can move my mouse on the screen but cannot do anything while on the environment of windows... any ideas?

  • Satellite U400-10 was supports the HDD Protection probe

    All of the documentation I've read on Satellite U400-10 model has (PSU40E-00K006DU) indicates that it has a HARD drive protection sensor installed.

    I can't find this sensor listed anywhere in the Device Manager, and when I install the Toshiba HDD Protection utility it tells me that there is no sensor.

    Someone has this model with the sensor HARD drive Protection?
    If so, how say you?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    As far as I know the Toshiba HDD Protection Utility V2.0.2.3 (for Vista) was pre-installed on the U400 series, so in my opinion, the sensor is available.

  • Satellite U400-12F: LED power button & HDD protector tool does not work

    Hello

    I have a Satellite U400-12F and I bought a Vista Ultimate.
    After you have installed all the drivers and Toshiba of the corect order downloads, the button to turn on the power lights does not work.

    And I tried to install HDD protection Utility but the installer returned an error like 'cannot be installed on this model.
    Do you know why these problems?

    Thank you very much
    concerning
    Daniel

    > After installing all the drivers and software of Toshiba by order, the button to turn on the power switch lights does not work.
    Please check the BIOS settings. As I m not wrong not it takes an option called LED illumination or something like that. There you can turn on and off.
    Also, try to customize the special button of TOSHIBA using the Toshiba control utility.
    There are also some useful options.
    But to be honest I n not know exactly if this button doesn't work with Win XP. Maybe this feature is not available in XP.

    > I tried to install HDD protection Utility but the installer returned an error like 'cannot be installed on this model.
    This error message appears if you try to install a tool that was not designed for this series of laptop.
    The U400-12F seems to belong to the PSU40E. Check if it s a good tool.

  • Defective screen on Portege M800

    I bought a PORTEGE (M800-107) in 2009 and before the expiration of the 3-year-old warranty (2012), the screen went black all the time.
    I sent it to the official service of TOSHIBA in Greece (called "IDEAL his '), who fixed it in about a month (and after two attempts).
    A year and a half later, the screen went black again. Now they ask me 500 euros for the replacement of the screen. Of course I won't give all these money.
    Portege was the 3rd Toshiba laptop, I used. I chose it because I wanted something powerful and professional. The irony is that the more expensive model has exploded sooner than the cheapest.
    However, it was the LAST ONE on your part.

    PS: in order to take my laptop (without attachment), I have to pay 30 euros for check technicians!
    Really, you know someone who goes to the service for fun? Or I am responsible for the failure of your model?

    Hello

    To be honest I m was really asking you this display problem. Portege and Tecra are the best notebooks of Toshiba business line and for years, they are known as products of high quality with the best material.

    Anyway, sometimes the best products have problems and be in trouble. Similar things happen with all technical products. I know that's enough damage and angry, especially in the time when you need your laptop.

    Maybe it sounds stupid now, but maybe you can buy view on your own and find someone who can exchange it for you. I did it for my friend a few years ago. We purchased watch on eBay and we exchanged it alone. Of course on our own risk.

    Bye and good luck

  • Libretto U100 - HDD protection warning appears during playback of some CD

    Hello

    The sensor HARD drive protection warning when I tried to play some CD. So far, this has happened with 2 CD, one which I have tried to install the drivers (which I "finished work" ultimately and downloaded the drivers from the Web site instead) and the other I tried to install an application (which finally installed but I had to "end task" and eject the cd). After the "end task", I checked if had installed it the application and it was completely installed, but the CD was 'stuck' in the installation dialog screen somehow, and "Finish" screen does not appear.

    I don't think it's the player that I played a cd of music without problem. I think that the drivers are ok, because the buttons on the unit are functioning as intended. The cds are without dust and scratches.

    If anyone has experienced this problem and you know a resolution?

    I look forward to your reply.

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    Strange

    Usually HDD Protection detects the vibrations, shocks and these signs in the computer and head of HARD drive (HDD) moves automatically to the safe position to reduce the risk of damage that might be caused to the drive in head-to-disk contact.
    But I put t. see connections between the Protection of the HARD disk and playback of the CD.

    However, the HDD Protection Utility controls the HARD disk Protection sensors.
    Maybe you should try to reinstall this tool.

    Go to the Toshiba European page, download the utility of the HARD disk Protection 1.01.08 and reinstall.

    Then you can check if the message appears again.

  • Tecra R10-120 - HHD Protection utility installs in Portuguese

    Hi all

    I'm new here so I ask you please help the statement a little bug in "HDD protection Utility" when installing on Windows 7 RC1700 version.
    I downloaded the file "hddprot-20081124153035. ZIP"from Vista 32 drivers and utilities for Tecra R10-120, and there the 2.0.2.5 version from 24/11/08.

    My Windows 7 (32bits) is configured as:
    To install language: English
    Time and currency formats: Portuguese (Portugal)
    Keyboard or input method: Portugal

    During the installation procedure installs "HDD protection Utility" in Portuguese.
    I guess the code keyboard or time controls parameters of format rather than the language of the system.

    This is a minor bug, so I think it will be simple for the Toshiba development team to resolve.
    The only forward to point is, how to let them know.

    Thanks for any help that you could provide,

    Hello

    You have the beta version of Windows 7.
    The utility is designed for Windows Vista.

    Check if the same thing happens with Windows Vista?
