• How to reset the sensor of fingerprint on Portege R700-174?

  Hello!

  my "problem":

  on my portege (r700-174), I run a win7 (which was preinstalled on your laptop), a victory for 8.1. and for some is true the technical preview of win10

  all systems are protected by password and fingerprints.

  also the win10-test system (for test prints digital-utility in win10)

  now, I deleted an old generation of win10 and do a new install with the latest version

  Unfortunately I forgort to cancel the registration of the fingerprint I had entered with this old win10 - so now this finger cannot be used
  to be entered for the new win10 (or any other system)

  My question

  is it possible to reset it completely (clear all the fingerprints for all systems) the fingerprintscanner out of one of my systems running or to cancel the registration of the
  Fingerprints for this system, which does not exist anymore on my portege?

  Thanks for the tips

  Kurt

  The fingerprints are stored on the fingerprint sensor and you will need to follow the instructions of this Toshiba document to remove your scans of fingerprints.
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/items/FAQ/386

  In the case that this procedure does not work, only the Toshiba certified maintainer would be able to erase fingerprints users digital related privacy information on the fingerprint sensor fingerprint flash.

• Portege R700 - SSD installation: a succesfull and the other failed

  For what it's worth I just short wants to share my learnings SSD:

  1. I bought a Newton GTX 500 GB Corsair for my R700 (i5, W7). Looked to work ok after normal cloning, but often the PC froze and I couldn't restart it. Only way to continue was to force its rotation down with the power button. I've always had this message when starting:

  + PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable for. +
  + PXE - M0F: exit Intel Boot Agent. +
  + Insert system disk in drive. +
  + Press any key when ready... +.

  Only way to go was to force down once again and then the Pc may start and open windows. I've updated all the drivers I could think of-including Intel - but the problem persisted. Please note that this happened at the time with no systematic behavior, at least what I could understand.

  2. I got cold feet for this behavior and I bought a new R930, exchanged relative small with a bigger Samsun 840 Pro 500 GB SSD HARD drive. No problem, works very quickly and smoothly!

  3. I can now reinstall Windows 7 on the older R700 with the Corsair SSD - and now this machine works without any of the oldest problems, but I Don t understand.

  Any of you have seen something similar?

  > Anyone of you seen something similar?

  Of course. PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable error is displayed because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
  Usually, this happens because of faulty HARD drive.

  I n t have this laptop Portege but I ve bought the same shape of my laptop Tecra SSD drive.
  After cloning, the data on the drive to SSD drive using the software, which was part of the SSD HARD drive package, start the laptop much more quickly. I m very satisfied.

• Portege R700 - saver installed on Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello

  I was looking for a way to reduse noise from the fan on a Win7 Portege R700-174 and read to install 'Energy savings' from the Toshiba support site.

  Installation was OK, but I can't use ist because common Module is not installed. I get an error ' Code: 0 x 2. I already understand that 'Save energy' and 'Common Module' is not designed for windows 7. Why I was able to install it anyway?

  Now when I try to remove the 'save energy', I still have another error and uninstall fails.

  What can I do? Any help is appreciated!

  Concerning
  Michael

  Hey,.

  Toshiba common modules and energy savings are designed for Windows XP only! This software isn't compatible with Vista and Windows 7. In this case, you need to install the package of added value.

  In any case, not it s too late and you need to remove the installed software. If you get an error when uninstalling, I recommend the use of CCleaner to remove programs. CCleaner can also uninstall all the software that you have installed and it s freeware tool. Do a Google search for download and try to uninstall tools Toshiba again.

• Portege R700 Wont close or install W7 SP1

  Hello

  I have a Portege R700 for a few months and then only a brilliant notebookI'm having some trouble that I can't find the answer to. I thought I would post the two they could possibly be interrelated.

  First of all, when I am running on battery only my computer usually off. It gets to the Windows stops screen and just hangs. After all of 10 minutes, I have generally give up and manually turn off the machine by holding the power button. This is my desktop computer, it is very rarely used on battery so I have not really worried about it but I want to fix. Also when I use my machine on port replicator, at the office, when I shut down my computer what it comes up with the screen that a program is not responding and force close. I find it strange because there is no program running in time (of course there is probably a background running program).

  The second problem I encounter is that I am trying to install Windows 7 SP1 via the full download of the Microsoft Web site, but when it comes to install the update I get the following error:

  ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING (0 x 80073701)

  I did a search on the web for answers, but all of the patches described did not work. My only other option might be a complete reinstallation of Windows that I hated doing.

  If anyone has solutions that would be great.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Why you are not allowing Windows Update to install updates to the machine? This method usually solves 90% update install problems as the update manager download only the sections of service pack required for your installation/version/version of windows 7?

  How does closing? by pressing the power button or by using the windows menu Start button stop?

  When on the port replicator the error message said exactly? What is the name of the program?

• Portege R700 - no autorun for CD/DVD and USB keys

  In my Portege R700 there is no way to make autorun works (for key USB and CD/DVD as well). CD/DVD and USB keys work perfectely, but not the autorun.

  I tried to use both the automatic repair of Microsoft and PowerToys, but the problem that it is still there. I also tried to change the registry, but it seems that the changes are not retained. I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
  Can someone help me?

  Thanks in advance.
  Gerlando

  Hey,.

  > I suspect that it is something related to some utilities or so.
  What utilities you have installed? Theoretically, they could block the autorun

  Normally if autorun doesn t work on XP, you can enable it in the Windows registry:
  Start > run > regedit

  The registry editor will open and go to:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / policies / Explorer
  Double-click the NoDriveTypeAutoRun value and set the value of 91.

  Now he must navigate to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Services / Cdrom

  Double-click the AutoRun value and set the value to 1.

  Now restart your computer and try it again, usually autorun should work again.
  Additionally, make sure that the latest Service Pack is installed for XP (SP3).

• Portege R700 - upgrade Windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit and memory question

  I recently bought Portge R700 and am disappointed by the memory. I have a license of Windows 7 64-bit edition: what problems can arise if I update? Once installed, I can then use 8 MB of RAM.

  Moreover, I found the reagrding misleading Web site the option of using the 8 MB of RAM with the32-bit OS. I have 4Mb installed, years to see that only 2.86 MB is usable.

  I get "out of memory" messages and would like to know how to allocate more memory to live for video.

  Tom's right. If you want to use the 64-bit operating system, you must do clean install operating system. All drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one.
  If you need assistance with installing Win7 let us know.

  I put t know for what purposes do you use your laptop and what applications are important for your daily work, but, in general, I don t think you will have problems using 64 bit OS. Please keep in mind that all additional software is 64-bit capable and everything will be OK.

  As far as I know laptop user doesn't have the influence of the use of video memory and it runs automatically. It is unclear to me that you can change these settings and set how much RAM can be used for video operations.

  Anyway, Portege R700 is nice for laptop with sufficient power for daily use and also for use with standard applications. I don t think you ve bought this laptop for games.

• Portege R700 - Touch Pad, ecoUtility and presentation of the key does not

  Hello

  I got a Portege R700 with Windows 7 64 bit.
  This machine starts very slowly after the log in user mode only.
  The system is waiting for 1 to 2 Minutes before you can work. In administrator mode erverything is fine and fast.

  Thus our directors thought it might be the Toshiba Software and a lot has been disabled or uninstalled.
  Because this did not help and because I thought that it migt be cause of Kaspersky, I started to reinstalled and update the software from Toshiba. Most of it works now. Shortcut keys does not work, then I start TfcRst.exe via autostart now, even he would somehow it would be better in 'systemecommencent '.

  But still some keys do not work. The Tablet touch power switch, just above the touch pad does not work.
  The Fn F9 works. And the two keys to the right upper corner (ecoUtility/off button and the presentation-Key) do not work. In all three major, I get a pop up saying "this function not taken in charge.

  Anyone has any idea of this?

  Thank you

  Solomon_de

  Hello

  Why you n t try to restore the operating system back to the same state until the administrator has removed or uninstalled the Toshiba Software?

  Generally speaking the VAP (value added package) controls the multimedia keys.
  Also the FN keys require the VAP and Flash memory card Support utility.

• Portege R700 - Sandforce SSD OCZ and Toshiba BIOS v1.9

  Hello

  It is a question to the Toshiba techy guys. Please can someone confirm compatibility with SSDS OCZ Vertex2 (Sandforce) with the Portege r700?

  Since I've updated the stock HARD drive I had problems with BIOS recognizing the SDS when you restart. If I boot the laptop from the cold, that is nice, DDI is recognized and everything is ok, the problem is intermittent. When requiring to restart the laptop to Windows 7 (64-bit), it hangs at the screen Toshiba Leading Innovation. It seems that the BIOS cannot detect the drive for some reason any and just freezes. I read the threads on the footprint software but am already run version v1.0.2.32 - so think it is independent.

  I've recently updated firmware OCZ Vertex2 to v1.32 hoping that it could solve the problem and there is not. The question might be more compatible with the Toshiba BIOS Sandforce.

  I am running the BIOS v1.9 - please can you guys do something to fix this?

  > That's obviously a problem with Sandforce
  Always is it that there are several different manufacturers of SSDS, and it might be possible that not all the parties meet the same standards.
  In this case, many manufacturers of SSDS provides updates of the firmware, but this isn't always the case so have to test other SSDS

• Portege R700 - 11G - high and annoying fan noise

  Dear friends:

  I have a Portege R700 - 11G, I bought only two weeks ago.

  The computer works fine, except for the high and annoying fan noise.

  Even do nothing, only to start and sometimes in the bios Setup, the fan is always turn with a temperature of 40 ° or 50.

  I've updated the BIOS and I don't know what to do.

  Can someone help me please?
  Thank you very much.

  Hi mate

  Please check the settings in the Windows 7 power management!

  There you can optimize the CPU and cooling performance module this should help reduce heat dissipation and fan speed.

  In addition I recommend upgrading the Toshiba Fingerprint Software immediately to the version V1.0.2.32 or higher. In addition, turn off the power save option of fingerprint device in Device Manager.

  Device Manager->-> authentic Tec Inc AES1610-> the power management of biometric devices

  Here, you will have to remove the mark next to the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  Disable the power saving mode will reduce the life of the battery, so you can check whether or not it helps reduce noise.

• Portege R700, Windows 7, mounted sudden fan/cpu, freeze and force stop

  Hello

  I have a persistent problem that starts to become annoying... Portege 700 running Windows 7. Normal use (office, WMP, IE anything heavy)

  No apparent reason (no new requests started for example), there is a sudden increase in the speed of the fan which should be max (looks it takes off) and I suspect use of the processor at the same time. And it's that it's not simply to stop (I left for awhile on occasion) and does not match an input (keyboard or mouse). The only 'solution' is to use the power button to force a shutdown. (And then I lose all cookies etc. when starting again).

  I did a lot of Googling on that. Thought it was WMP network sharing Service and has taken measures to see, but have recently disabled that service and still the problem occurs... (I checked that it is always disabled when just rebooted).

  I keep as 'clean' as I can (have AV installed, use ccleaner regularly etc etc) so would be surprised if a virus/worm, but am running a scan again just in case...

  This happens quite often be a pain - and I have no idea what is the cause, if any ideas gratefully received.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I m no owner on the site Web of Toshiba Portege R700 but I found an article that describes EXACTLTY the same problem. High activity of its use and CPU fan, then it freezes :(
  Here is the link to this article:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0C032L0000R01.htm

  As you can see, update the fingerprint software could help get rid you of this problem. :)

• Difference between Portege R700 and Satellite R630

  What is the difference between the two models, Portege R700 and Satellite R630?
  Is it only fingerprint, port dock station reader and a more powerful configuration (CPU, SSD, WiFi 802.11n, Type)?
  Is this the same materials used body? Is it the same weight?

  I found this comparison:
  [http://www.ultra-laptops.com/comparisons/toshiba_portege_r700-s1330_vs_toshiba_satellite_r630-131]

  Hi snicker_1,

  There are many differences between these models and also, there are different R700 and R630 models on the market.

  In my opinion, you should check these notebooks from Toshiba Web site. There you can see what models are currently available and the configuration.

• Portege R700 and Win 7 Update detects not SP1

  Hello

  I have a Portege R700-1E8 with Win7 Pro.
  WinUpdate detects no SP1, but it has detected the other updates and installed their (the SO is enabled).

  If I install SP1 manually (downloaded as iso from Microsoft Download site file) it seems to be installed without problems.
  Yet, I picked up the phone to the original state and tried to detect the windows updates again.

  There are many upgrades available, but without SP1 AND IE9.

  Any ideea?
  Thank you

  Costin

  Hello

  > If I install SP1 manually (downloaded as iso from Microsoft Download site file) it seems to be installed without problems.

  So where is the problem if you were able to install SP1 manually?
  I had also some problems to install the patches in the past, that I could not install patches after system reboot and disable a 3rd party firewall, I could install necessary updates who received automatically by Windows 7.

  However, SP1 can be installed manually and it should be possible to install other patches automatically, so in this case, I wouldn't be worried
