• 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

  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 R700-155 - SSD connector question

  Hello

  I seem to have a non-standard connector type on my SSD (THNSNC128GMLJ). I'm now concerned that I will not be able to upgrade my SSD for a more capacious. Anyone know anything about Toshiba use anything other than standard SATA connectors on their SSD family?

  This is quite annoying because the laptop was advertised as follows - "Hard Drive - 128 GB Solid State Drive - Serial ATA-150," I'm not an expert but the connector on my SSD does not resemble something like the SATA connectors I have seen before.

  Any help or information would be most appreciated.

  Hello

  The laptop support a normal SATA controller and connector of the disk SSD should also meet SATA standards.
  If your SSD supports SATA interface so I could use an inline adapter.

  Maybe you need a micro SATA Adapter SATA? Google for it to get a few pictures.

• Portege R700-1CQ - ECO Utility and buttons mouse pad not working not

  Suddenly the ecoUtility buttons and activate/deactivate mouspad has stopped working?

  The ecoUtility works if started manually through programs but is not starts when you press the ecoUtility button...

  The mouspad is not disabled if you press the button...

  I already deleted and reinstalled the ecoUtility and value added package - no results?

  It runs under Windows 7-64 bit...

  The help is apreciated...

  Concerning

  Hello

  Hmm. you are able to activate the Eco utility manually, but it does not start automatically when you press the button.
  This means that there must be a problem with some command buttons that run the applications.
  Usually the PPV control multimedia keys and so the new facility should fix this.

  I think you should try this;
  Firstly uninstall the VAP system.
  Then, clean the windows operating system using the free tools like CCleaner for example.
  This tool cleans garbage temporal files and the registry.
  I think that some damaged registry entries can cause this
  Restart the computer and then install 64-bit VAP.

  Good luck

  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 - Malware with software pre-installed?

  I recently bought a Portege R700 - very well designed and built with an excellent specification. All is let down by the obnoxious behavior of collusion with Microsoft to send malicious software in the software loaded from Toshiba. It is absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable to load software that removes several times my IE8 homepage settings to replace it with MSN and the bling search engine. I hope I've stalked finally how to remove this MALWARE by editing the registry and delete the entries of thugs.

  (Especially from Toshiba) anyone know how I can ensure it is permanently deleted?

  Can someone give me a good reason why I should not report this behavior for the Commissioners of the European Union for violation of the antitrust settlement with Microsoft?

  I am completely disgusted.

  Hello

  To be honest, I never heard malware with software/OS preinstalled Toshiba or Microsoft.
  I m sure all software that will run are tested for the virus, malware, etc. so I put t think you have malicious software installed on your computer.

  I also use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba on my two laptops and all the settings, I've defined in IE8 or other programs have never changed.

  I recommend to install an antivirus program before going online.

• Portege R700 - gel & fan

  Hello

  I have an older Portege R700 for two days and it has developed a problem of freeze and fan. Actually, he launched the first day.
  Basically the screen freezes and kicks the cooling fan speed and nothing else responds until you make the stop & on again thing. Its happened a couple of times now on two different days.

  Any ideas?
  Send it back?
  Download a little amazing software, I currently don't know?
  Persevere on the toshiba site, until I have find how to contact Toshiba directly instead of you good people?
  Just ignore it and hope it goes?

  Any advice welcome. But please make it as simple as possible because I am a novice regarding the technical stuff.

  R
  (Just in case you think about overheating, based in the United Kingdom and is not a hot day and there is airflow around the laptop. The second gel happened after only about 2 hours of use).

  It is not easy to discuss these issues.
  1 / we don t know what OS you are using
  2 / the operating system configuration is not known to us
  3 / who knows what additional software do you use and what is running in the background
  4 / this occur with AC, battery or both power supply

  I put t really know what to say so at the moment. What you can do, if possible, contact nearest service, visit them, explain the situation and see what they say about all this.

• Portege R700 - cannot update the BIOS

  Hello
  I recently bought a Portege R700 19 M and I downloaded the latest BIOS version available in the Toshiba support page and when I run the .exe file, it does not work with this message: "the computer is not supported.
  And when I look in the HWSetup Toshiba tool, it does not display the BIOS version but some weird characters (letters not usual) so I can't find out which version is installed.
  Thank you for your help

  Hey Buddy,

  You update the BIOS to the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba?
  Are you logged on as administrator when you try the update?

  To be honest I doubt a problem to update the BIOS because I found other threads where users report that BIOS update was successful.

• 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.

  Hello.

  I want to install the new 128 GB SSD in my Portege R700-173.

  I want first to recovery media. But I do not understand what will contain this DVD.

  It will be Windows7 install disc? (I'll be able to install new windows on my new SSD?) with the pilots additional Toshiba and utilities?

  or this recovery disk will contain some kind of image of a real system?

  I also think that moving my C: partition (windows) from the old HDD to the new one SSD (with Acronis software - I did it with my desktop computer)

  should I move only my C: partition (with good shift of k 4)?

• 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.
