• Portege R600 and Webcam in Skype functionality

  Hello!

  I tried to get the camera working on the Portege R600 within Skype.

  I got it in the past, but he stopped and now I just get a black screen when I load the video in the settings. I tried specifying the default camera and also the chicony usb 2.0 camera two identical results of both. I updated to the latest version, earlier and removed and he readded in Device Manager. No luck.

  Any ideas? Running fully patched Vista 32 bit

  Hello

  I'm not very well why this happens, but I see that you use the Skype of m.
  Some people have reported some problems with the webcam and 3rd party software like MS messenger and Skype for example. Both applications use the webcam also.

  I think there could be a problem with software compatibility between the software/driver preinstalled webcam and the Skype/MS Messenger

  You said that too that everything has worked in the past, as well, that would be really interesting to know if the problem would be persists using the laptop with the factory settings Toshiba and without a Skype or other additional software installation.

  Good bye

• Portege M700 and Windows 7

  Hi all

  I installed Windows 7 RC on my Portege M700, and everything was fine, except:

  -Intel(r) Management Engine Interface (show on the device as a PCI Simple Communications controller Manager);
  -Novatel Mobilink to the Novatel Wireless Broadband (3G HSDPA) SM-Bus minicards Modem integrated (EU870D) (list on the device as 4 Interfaces of data manager).

  I used the drivers on Windows 7
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=DL&OS=&category=&MOID=1927814& rpn = PPM70U & modelFilter = & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 10 73768662 and all fine wenf.

  I even managed to get the drivers for the Modem from Novatel minimap from a previous version and accepted Device Manager.
  But when I try to install the v2.02.27 from Novatel MobiLink available [here: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK&selCategory=2 & selFamily = 4 & selSeries = 157 & selProduct = 773 & selShort Mod = 684 & language = 13 & selOS = 26 & selType = all & yearuploa d = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = Chinas allMa & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 8 & page = 2 & startPage = 1] he justs roles back the instalation before it's over.

  Do you know if toshiba plans to deliver a version of Mobilink from Novatel compatible with Windows 7?
  And what of the Intel(r) Management Engine Interface? There will also be a compatible version?

  Thanks in advance guys...

  The point is that you tried to install the driver on Win 7 OS Vista and this could be the problem. Seems the Vista driver is not supported with Win 7.
  Of course, some drivers Vista would go with Win 7 but not all drivers are compatible.

  I think you have to wait until the drivers Win 7 for the 3G module would appear.

• Display problems with the Portege R600 and Win 7

  I have a R600 running windows 7, every two minutes, I have a display problem where where the vertical pixels seem to get every centimeter unaligned, so my screen seems to blur digital in bars across it.

  I have an external monitor attached and get the same problem with or without him. I have tired the driver of toshiba and intel driver.

  It seems to go away if I have windows min and max, but sometimes it doesn't. If I run my mouse an affected area, that it seems in trouble and sometimes it's not all screen.

  A refresh solves it.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  > I have an external monitor attached and get the same problem with or without him.
  Maybe I m wrong but in most cases if these symptoms are seen on the two displays (internal & external) then a graphics chip could be affected
  It would be the worst case, because that would mean that the motherboard needs to be replaced

  But just a question; have you noticed that using the previous Windows OS preinstalled by maybe Toshiba (Win XP or Vista), you must install the image of Toshiba again to verify if this display problem is still visible

• Various installation with the Portege R100 and Windows XP issues

  Hello

  I recently bought a used Portege R100. It came without OS and I wanted to install XP SP2.

  I know that restorations only work with PCMCIA readers adapted, but the HARD drive is formatted, so there is no recovery possible I guess.
  Here are my problems:
  -with my very old Freecom PCMCIA CD player the Windows installation CD is recognized, and it starts to load the XP drivers until he wants to start copying files installiation--> then I get the blue screen of Windows with the error 00 x 7 (virus or driver)
  -the same thing happens with my former W2k Pro installation disc.
  -With the even more ancient W98SE, strange things are happening too: installation seems to work fine, but when it comes to start with W98SE, for the first time, the system hangs up with pixelgarbage.
  -Make the 6 Bootdisks with makeboot doesn't work anymore.
  -J' also tried MS-DOS! And guess what! It worked! Loading the Freecom drivers and copy of Windows I386 folder on my hard drive with the volkov Commander (something similar to NortonCommander) worked too! So I got hav files on my drive but after running Windows NT in the i386 folder, the system hangs after some time, when it starts to copy the files to a temporary folder.

  So I tried almost everything I know. at this moment I am download knoppix to try it.

  I ran Memtest86 and 9 Diskmanager to test the RAM and HARD drive, finished two withut errors, so the priority of main parts in the installation process seems to work. Maybe it's that my IDE controller is broken?
  I have no idea, WHY does he not move windows!

  Help is hot!

  Thank you

  It should work out that way, run you own your HD first in Fat32format - file-system, otherwise it won't work!
  Don't forget to use "smartdrive' in your BACK-commissioning, otherwise it will take a lot of time, even the 'freeze' is possible.

• Portege 7220 and windows 98. Black screen installation

  Hello

  I am facing this problem when I try to install win98 on the machine above Portege 7220 (/ PIII650/64/12/13 t/M), following on its docking station...

  I boot from a floppy disk and cd rom (e:\) access in order to run the installer of windows 98SE. Once I typed e:\setup.exe I get a black screen and the computer crashes. However I can install windows NT or 2000 on this machine, and also the windows 98SE cd works ok on other computers, i.e. no black screen!

  No idea what is the problem?

  Thanks in advance,
  Bar

  Hi Bar

  Please do not be angry on me, but I have to ask you something. Did you use Win98SE full version or simply update CD for Win98?

  It may be that your CD is scratched! Then please try another new CD or another OS as W2k!

• Portege R600 and Win7 (32 bit): driver WLAN is missing from the site

  I will install windows 7 on my R600, I am currently downloading the drivers on the Web page. However, on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads there is no driver for my Intel PRO/Wireless card.

• Portege R100 and Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a portege R100, which, with the new 1 GB memory is very good. I want to update from XP to Win7.
  All the world does? Any suggestion? Win 7 slow down the system?

  Richy

  If I undestand you, you have only 1 GB of memory? If you do, I'm sorry, but your system would be slow as hell. 2 GB is a minimum in my opinion.

• Portege R600-12Z long delay of start & does not recognize DVD dirve

  I have been using my Portege R600 running windows XP for about 14 months now and recently FOUND that he began to take 1 to 2 minute wait before starting the sequence start or resumption after hibernation. Now, I have discovered that the DVD drive (5100 DVD - RW supermulti drive) does not work: in the Device Manager it shows as unable to start; If I try to boot from the drive of CD/DVD (F8 at first upward, or the definition of the boot priority) it does not take into account the CD and eventually get to the start of the HARD drive in any case. At the same time, the reader is actually superimposed a disc (it will open and close and will try to read any disc inserted). I've updated the bios (3.20) and all the drivers concerned I can find (although none seems to be specific for this drive). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  I should also mention that this replaced R600 actually an another R600 (one of the earlier and more fragile versions) on which I had exactly the same problem after about 10 months. I just unluckly, or is this a weakness of the R600 line?

  PMR thanks for your comments.

• Portege R600 - 13 X - how to reinstall the operating system on the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I inherited a Portege R600 - 13 X of my colleague, who hit and killed the hard drive. I installed a new hard drive, but you don't have operating system installation diskettes as he said that the computer has not come with any. To make things even more difficult, I believe that the optical drive may not work. My old R500 had a dead optical drive and after I replaced it (he has not yet worked) I was told it is perhaps something to do with the ribbon cable, which piggy back off the coast of the SD card reader, then to the motherboard.

  Anyway, is it possible for me to install Win 7 Professional (I have the original windows key) from a USB flash drive? Or y at - it a specific OS recovery/reinstallation disk that I can download Toshiba?

  Any advice would be very welcome
  Thank you

  I have a Portege R600, and he has been a formidable workaholic, although now showing its age with newer software.

  I think these machines came with pre-installed Vista and your friend must have created a set of recovery discs when they got off the machine.

  Toshiba did release a drive to upgrade when Windows 7 is released which was available to the buyer within the free upgrade period you. You may be able to find a disk, but you will need the Win7 license to go with it.

  If not, your only option is likely to be to buy a disk and license. Of course, you can find the specific Toshiba drivers are missing. If you think about it, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to locate what is essentially a free Windows 7 download install disc.

  Without an optical drive, you need to use an external USB drive and the BIOS to boot from that first force.

  I hope that you have succeeded.

• Portege R600 - detected SD cards but cannot navigate or format

  Hello

  I have problem on my Portege R600-10U (Windows 7 Ultimate) with SD card reader. When I put the SD card into the slot it is detected by the system, but I can't the eyebrows he or I can do format.

  I did the installation of RICOH_Media_Driver_v2.07.01.00 on the Toshiba support site, but when I check pilot for SD card reader is show a generic driver by default Microsoft.

  Also I don't know if it's important, but I can see player sd on the list of devices only when I put the card in the card reader.

  I even tried to do a manual installation of the driver by selecting the extracted content of CRAC - 20091103162555.zip (RICOH_Media_Driver_v2.07.01.00 folder), but windows didn't find the INFs appropriate in it.

  Me missing something, is there a prerequisite not before installing the card reader driver or card reader perhaps it self does not work properly.

  Many thanks in advance,
  Igor

  > Card he is okay since I use it in my camera
  This could be the problem

  I think that you can access this SDHC card if you should first format!
  There should be a preinstalled tool called SD memory card format.
  Format the SDHC card first, and then try again.

  PS: The card reader must manage SD up to 2 GB card and SDHC up to 16 GB cards

• Portege R600 - difference between the cooling options

  I have a Portege R600 with Windows 7 installed, but I guess my request is generic for all Porteges regardless of the version of Windows.

  Could someone please explain to me what really mean "options of cooling" in the power settings? I could not find the details of anywhere.

  Optimized battery means that the cpu fan is activated only beyond a certain temperature? And what is the difference between cooling and maximum performance?

  Is there another way to set the speed of the cpu fan directly?

  It is a very important point for me, because the fan of the Portege is terrible, too noisy, insofar as I plan to return the laptop unless I find a solution. Sometimes, this looks like a Ferrari to RPM 1 billion engine!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think the explanation is quite simple: optimized cooling battery means that the fan is activated only on a temperature higher than the maximum performance mode and that s all I think.

  For example, if I put the battery optimized cooling notebook is a little hotter than the maximum performance mode, but if I can save energy. ;)

  In addition it s advisable to clean the laptop from time to time using a jet of compressed air!

• Portege R600 - 3G or WiFi - how to set the priority of connection

  Hi, all, wonder if anyone can suggest an answer to this query?

  Our (not too illiterate I.T.) MD has a Portege R600 and a 3G dongle it uses to compose on our VPN and Citrix server using the built-in wireless connection manager.

  It works fine, unless it is in an area where he can get the two Wi - Fi _and_ a 3G signal, which case the R600 resumes and connects to the Wi - Fi connection itself, but it can not noticed this and he then manually dial on the Internet via 3G dongle.

  According to the parameters of the Wi - Fi network it is on, this can cause problems to connect to the Citrix server as it tries to connect via Wi - Fi network and not the 3 G dongle.

  So my question is, in the wireless connection manager, is it possible to define a priority or priority which the network, Wi - Fi or 3G, is used for its Internet connection? Ideally, we would like to set up the 3G network as a higher priority, but I don't think this is possible using the WCM.

  I realize the ideal situation would be just him train on turning off the WiFi connection, leaving the 3G connection as the connection active unique (it cannot turn the wireless off full stop by using the switch on the side of the laptop as this turns off the 3 G connection more).
  But like I said it is not too good with all things I.T.

  Any suggestions most appreciated!

  Thank you very much

  KW.

  I n t have this laptop model, but please check the FN + F8 key combination.
  He can choose it option 3G only?

• Portege R600 - Windows 7 switch backlight does not

  I have a new Portege R600, comes with Windows 7 32 bit and the switch on / off for the backlight does not work.
  I installed the new VFR package, until I uninstalled the old. Also the latest version of the Bios.

  Use the support Toshiba button and placed in the file backlight.exe, still does not work. If I tap the backlight.exe file manually, it works.
  It is not a problem of material, as told in the hard drive of my old R600 with XP Professional and works of button.

  What can I do?
  Toshiba support is not able to help, to talk about the new facility, but is the original unchanged.
  Maybe in the button holder, I put in an option in the empty file?

  > Switch on / off the backlight does not work.
  AFAIK some BIOS versions contains the additional option to enable and disable the lighting.
  Please check if the lighting is not disabled in the BIOS.
