• Re: Portege M800 - cannot get bluetooth installed in Windows 7

  Hi, I have a portege M800 PPM81C-07602D. It came with windows vista but I reinstalled Windows 7, and now I can't get the bluetooth drivers to install. I tried the old drivers and the new drivers windows vista 7, but when I run the installation I get the message "Please plug in the bluetooth device and click OK."... If I click ok it appears again. I don't know why it wouldn't find the bluetooth internal... I don't think that there is a physical switch to BT anywhere, and I tried to find out if it had been disabled in the bios but nothing in there on this subject... so... I'm out of ideas.

  Anyone has any ideas I can try?
  Any help is appreciated, thanks!

  Toshiba Bluetooth stack can be installed if the BT module is activated correctly use FN + F8 key combination to activate the BT module.
  After making that BT should be recognized and installed correctly (you will have to entered BT in Device Manager).

• Portege R500: Cannot restore Vista using Toshiba recovery disks

  I downgraded Vista to XP loaded factory.
  However, I would now like to restore back to Vista.

  I have disc 1 & 2 ' product Recovery DVD-Rom; Portege R500 disks.
  They are also marked "Windows Vista Business (SSD/PATA)" has been provided by Toshiba.

  I don't know how to use these discs to restore my operating system to Windows Vista. When I insert disc 1 and after loading some files, a message "cannot read the file source or disk - Preinst2.SWM" and I can not go any further.

  An instruction step by step would be greatly appreciated

  I wonder why you receive two recovery disks. As far as I know Toshiba Vista Recovery image is stored on a DVD.
  Perhaps you have received two CD

  In any case, have you tried to boot from the second disk? I mean the second recovery CD?

  Usually, recovery is not very sensitive. You must boot from the disc and should follow the instructions on the screen.

  The error cannot read from the source file or disk - Preinst2.SWM looks like a little to the Conference on disarmament would not readable or the CD/DVD drive would not read the disc properly.

• Portege M800: The fan is almost always on

  Hello!

  I have a Portege M800 M105 with Vista 64 bit. The fan is almost always on despite the fact that the temperature of the CPU is about 43 to 46 Grad Celsius and the CPU has nothing to do. I used the program Speedfan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) to display the temperature. I find that the noise of the fan is very noisy.
  Is there a possibility to control the fan, so that it will be only noisy when the temperature is high?

  Best regards

  Hello

  You are right. The Toshiba Power Saver for Win XP looks completely different as the Vista energy saver.
  But you can also change many settings in Vista energy saver that contribute to the use of the battery power decreases.

  The power settings are a bit hidden in the Vista energy saver but check this thread posted by Jayjay:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=38906&TSTART=0

  You will find a link to the doc of Toshiba:
  [How to manage Windows Vista power management features | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm]

  How to manage power settings in Vista there are has many useful tips.

• Portege M800-108 - LAN does not

  Hello all :)

  First of all, I'll post my information system
  Portege' M800-108 Windows Vista 32-bit Service Pack 1, with all the latest updates
  Router DLink DSL G624T no DHCP

  I got my laptop connected to my router this morning with LAN cable, and everything worked great. When I returned home, I connected the laptop to the router and the LAN was not working. The LED on the router would be clear ON and then turn off and then ON and OFF again, as if the PC is looking for a connection.
  I used all of the 4 ports on the router, I've used different cables and the problem is still there.
  The LAN driver is the most recent available.
  WLAN works very well on the contrary.

  Any suggestion? Is this a HW problem?

  TNX a lot.

  You said that the s light will light up and then move offshore, on and outside.
  This happens on all 4 ports?

  Normally, when this happens on a router or a switch which means that the router is defective.
  But you can try this:
  Unplug the router AC adapter. Wait at least 1-2 minutes and plug it back on again once.
  Maybe the router is working properly, and if not, you should change.

• Portege M800 - 11G: what is TRDCReminder & TRORDLauncher of Toshiba

  Hello

  I'm french and I bought a laptop PORTEGE M800 - 11G with Vista Premium

  I want to uninstall a lot of features of applications, programs, & windows.

  I post on this forum of toshiba because I hope that we can explain to me what are these applications; TRDCReminder & TRORDLauncher, published by TOSHIBA.

  I prefer known before uninstalling these applications.

  Thanks for your help

  Sorry for my very bad English,

  Greetings from sorts

  Hello

  I think that the TRDCReminder remains for Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator reminder and it reminds you to create the own recovery disk.
  The TRORDLauncher is related to the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator too.

  However, the two processes are developed by Toshiba and are necessary or a part of the Toshiba Recovery disc creator.

• Portege M800 - refund of Windows Vista license but how?

  After that my A100 finally broken I wanted to buy a new laptop (Portege M800). But unfortunately, it comes with Windows Vista and other software that I have any use.

  According to my interpretation of the license agreement, that I cannot agree to all conditions of it. Somewhere in the EULA, there is a statement that asks me to return the license to the dealer or the manufacturer for a refund if I am not prepared to sign.

  The seller I bought this laptop since would not accept the license and the laptop which is unacceptable to me.
  Y at - it a program that allows me to buy this laptop without software?
  I want to say this right is granted by the local laws and in addition to this software to the group a hardware device is illegal in my country.

  So where can I get the promised refund?

  Hey Buddy

  This OS comes with the laptop.
  Of course, you can install another OS if you want you have to buy it and you can install it
  But I put t believe that you will get no refund license Vista of someone if you want to use

  I've never heard of such thing and never met someone who got a refund of such license

• No driver Vista Portege M800-105 (PPM81E) available

  Hello world

  I bought an M800-105 and as with all laptops, I bought I did a clean reinstall of the operating system (in this case vista Home premium)... to my surprise there is only one driver listed when I search model fo PPM81E vista driver (the driver Bluetooth stack)

  I downloaded the necessary driver as displays and pilot Wi - Fi intel.com but all the features of Toshiba as keys FN, webcam, touchpad buttons next to the... power button not etc don t market.

  The driver for the device will be published, or is there a mirror/alternate for pilots bond?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Portege M800 is, in my opinion, the most recent model Portege and will certainly offer the drivers. I think it's just a matter of time. Vista drivers are available for all preinstalled Vista notebooks and will be the same with the Portege M800.

  But one thing confuses me: why you installed your version of Vista if Portege M800 is already available with Vista Home Premium? You created the recovery DVDs?

  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.

• Portege M800-103 - Bluetooth not working not not Linux

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Portege M800-103 (PPM81A) and a system to dual-boot with Windows Vista and Ubuntu 8.1 x86_64 (recently installed).
  Almost everything works well under Ubuntu except bluetooth, which is not yet recognized.

  I also tried the omnibook and the toshset (with unbearable = 12) drivers. I have had no success at all.

  Little help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  Have you checked OS support for this model of laptop computer?
  As much as I know this Portege is not Linux supported and Toshiba doesn't offer BT stack for Linux.

  Have you checked some Ubuntu forum? Maybe you can find some useful information there. I imagine that a lot of people have the same problem with the different laptop models.

• Portege M800 - Exposed sensitive Touchkeys does not work

  I am owner of the Toshiba Portege M800-105. Everything done his work. After 2 months working on it, my sensitive touchkeys exposed next to the POWER button does not work. After that I uninstalled 'Vista-value-added-package' everything works correctly. Why? Now my FN keys do not work or are disabled. Why?
  Before uninstalling the package, the first button next to the power button had to function to turn off the backlight of the Logo, the touchkeys senitive one of my touchpad. NOW he cut the sound! Weired fairy if you aks me. How do I challenge my buttons up to factory settings and make function keys FN?

  I reinstalled the value added package again, and have the backup problem as before: the first two buttons next to the power button does not work!
  Unter the Application: Thoshiba Button supports, for the first two buttons there are no keys depositd/marked so that I can change the configuration here.
  FN keys work after installation of the package, but not the sensitive keys! Please who can help me?

  Value added package has small programs. One of them is the Toshiba button Support. Walker I have uninstall it everything works. When I install it, nothing works.

  Thank you for the help on [email protected]

  Hello guys

  This is really strange. I put t really know what happen on your laptops. The fact is that these buttons are controlled by the software. If I remember well he called support Button or a button control and she is part of the package of added value.

  VAP contains several different tools and utilities. When you remove the VAP, it will be removed the responsible application of the functionality of FN (Flashcards), and this is the reason why the FN doesn't work anymore.

  So, theoretically everything should be OK when you install PPV again. Again theoretically. Why you still have this problem I put t know and I don t believe that no one can say for sure. Maybe some registry entries are corrupted now? Who knows?

  I presume that you don t want to use a more radical solution and do clean install of the new OS, but it can certainly help. With own OS pre-installed (factory settings) everything works well again.

  In the end, I must say that I use Satellite U400 (similar to your Portege) almost 6 months now and all the buttons work correctly. I always use the Vista version and I n t made no changes. It works well.

• Portege M800 - at startup "Please wait" message remains more than a minute.

  Hello

  I'm French and I bought a laptop Toshiba Portege M800-10v!

  Currently, this pc is great! However, I noticed something disturbing.

  In fact: when you start Windows Vista, I get the message "Please wait", which remains for more than a minute! I found that I was not alone! But I can't find any information on it.

  You know more?

  Thank you.
  PS: Excuse me for my English.

  Hello

  If you have any new laptop and if it is connected to the internet for laptop will automatically download new updates and each of them will be installed after restart. If you should not be worried about it.

  Yesterday I installed some stuff on Satellite P300 friends and I waited about 3 minutes after the first and the second restart. It bothers me, but there is nothing to do. To avoid this problem, I changed the update settings and used the check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them.

  Hello

  I m not a Portege M800 owner but normally I would say that you should try to update the BIOS and install all Windows updates, but you already have it not.

  What can you do now? If you have installed your own version Windows try again with the factory settings. Maybe it has something to do with software or then I don't know m.

  If it doesn t work I think you'll need professional help to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your parts defective laptop hardware and trade if it of necessary.

• Re: Portege M800-10Z - WiFi does not work

  Hello.
  I have a problem. I recently bought Toshiba Portege M800-10Z and downgraded Windovs Vista to XP service pack 3. All right, but the WiFi does not work.

  I tried to upgrade the wireless Lan driver, but it still does not work...
  I have Intel Wireles WiFi Link 5100 and system is Windovs XP service pack 3
  Is there someone who could help me with this issue?

  I would be very grateful for advice.

  Thank you very much

  Hello!

  That you say with the WiFi does not work?
  Can you connect to the router?
  The WLAN card is recognized in Device Manager?

  To solve this problem make sure that you have the latest version of the BIOS. Check on the Toshiba site.

  Also disable features of security as a hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so far away.
  Check if an update of the firmware on your router available.

  Good bye
