Problem of definition of screen with Satellite 4600

I wonder if anyone can give me advice on my toshiba satellite 4600 laptop. I am running XP service pack 2 and the machine is around 6 years old, has a celeron 733 mhz processor, 256 MB of ram and HD 30gig. The problem is that it doesn't seem to change the definition of the screen (which is necessary for many games).

In the display settings properties there is choice between 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768, however, it is by default to 1024 x 768, and if you change to 800 x 600 all that happens is that the office gets more into the screen of the monitor leaving a black border around the unused portion of the screen (it is like when you resize a photo) (, the picture becomes smaller)-the icons are tiny, so, really, it is always 1024 x 768, but just a smaller version.

When playing the Pinball game that comes with windows XP, the game is really small in the middle of the screen of the monitor, but when I click on 'fullsize' the game remains the same size, but the border around it is growing.

On my other computer, the game expands when you click "fullsize" because it changes the definition of the screen. For the most part, my laptop is unable to change its definition of the screen, but I think it would change the definition of the Frogger game.

I reinstalled windows XP and add service pack 2, but the problem persists.

I ran Belarc Advisor for what exactly is my material, and it has under the display:

-Trident Video Accelerator CyberBlade XP (Toshiba) graphics card
-Default monitor
-Generic TV (monitor)
-Toshiba 8 (monitor) (143 "(live)

I checked the Device Manager in system properties and it lists the display driver:
Trident Video Accelerator CyberBlade XP (Toshiba)
There is no error with the driver, and when I tried to update the driver it says that he could not find a better match than the software that I currently installed.

I thought that the notebook had 3D graphics but it cannot handle even fairly basic graphics in games. Someone at - it ideas?

Kind regards
Yvonne

    Hello

    He s strange because I checked the maximum memory that you can use and it s 1024MB. In this case, it should be possible to use 2x512MB.
    The unit uses DDR - Ram modules. This is a problem.

    I also checked these modules and the modules support has recommend:
    PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
    PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)

  • iPhone 7 more stuck on black screen with the spinning wheel

    How can I fix it? I tried to reset, go into DFU mode, recover from iTunes. Nothing works. I can't use iTunes because he wants me to grant access from my iPhone is not responding. DFU mode doesn't work, the screen does not any combination of seconds I hold down the buttons to. This has happened more than an hour. Should I just wait for the battery to die? Please note that I do not live in the United States or the U.K. or anywhere with an Apple Store, I can take it to.

    Thank you

    Hello! I think that I may have a solution to our problem of the black screen with the circle of rotation.

    I came across this post today because my iPhone all nine 7 (which I've upgraded to the latest ios) also got stuck on a black screen with the circle of rotation. I tried to update some of my apps, when suddenly the screen froze. I clicked once on the home button and the screen become black with the subsequent appearance of the circle of rotation.

    I have tried everything - simultaneously press the home button and power (does not work). connected to itunes to do a restore (it won't let me not because my "find my iPhone" was turned on - but I could not turn off because my phone was insensitive).

    In any case, a very useful Mr. Damon (Senior Advisor to Apple) helped me via chat to solve the problem.

    Here's what I did:

    1. make sure that your iPhone is disconnected from the socket or the computer.

    2. hold the POWER button and the VOLUME DOWN button at the same TIME. If it works, the screen should turn off almost immediately.

    3. connect your iPhone to the computer. (when I have connected to the computer, my iPhone automatically on and was ready to be reused).

    The steps below are for those whose iPhones did not turn with the above steps. The following steps are designed to allow you to disable remote your 'find my iPhone', so you can do a manual restore from iTunes.

    4. go to www.icloud.com.

    5. click on Find iPhone

    6. given that the phone is turned off already, he won't be able to find it. On the top bar, click DEVICES.

    7. click on your iPhone.

    8. click on "delete account".

    9. go into your itunes and do a restore.

    I did have to do steps 4 to 9 more, because as I said, my iPhone automatically activated after step 3.

    This really worked for me. I hope this works for everyone else too! Have a great day!

  • Satellite Pro A200 - black screen with a blinking cursor

    Hello

    I'm new to the forum and have a big problem.
    So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

    My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor.
    Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.

    I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Please go into the BIOS settings and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
    The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
    Eventually the HARD drive is dead and you need to replace it and reinstall the operating system.

    Good luck

  • Satellite X 205-SLi3 - black screen with the mobile mouse at startup

    I have a computer laptop X 205 - Sli 3 satellite, which is a little more than a month and running windows Vista. (let me know if the exact specifications make a difference)

    Yesterday morning my laptop was working fine, I arrested him at home because I need to take to work with me to get some files there. However, when I tried to turn it back on all I got was a black screen with cursor mouse mobile white dead center. I saw other posts with similar problems, but no solutions.

    Loads everything up as normal at the beginning: I get the Toshiba load screen (this allows me to make changes to the boot from there with F2, F8, F12 or, but none seems to have no effect) and I get the little green loading bar of Microsoft just before the screen blinks a few times and then turns black except for the white mouse. The touchpad, Capslock and scroll lock keys * are * admissible, but the function keys and Ctrl + Alt + Delete to do * not * work. There is no way to stop the laptop at this point without maintaining the power button.

    I tried to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, only to get exactly the same result after Windows loading bar. (only a lower resolution on this beautiful Virgin high-def screen mouse cursor). I activated the boot record, nothing, I tried to start with the "last known good configuration", nothing.

    I tried windows repair options: repair system, System Restore (it * was * a windows update just before restore point in my laptop screwed up and I m wondering if that has something to do with it because it was the first time the computer was turned off since the auto update installed... but get an older restore point does not help) , as well as the windows memory diagnostic tool. Everything is displayed normally but still black screen after the loading bar Microsoft...

    I also tried the debug mode, and directory services restore mode just for the heck of it - each time the black screen of death.

    I even put in the Toshiba recovery disc and put my laptop to boot from the CD rather than the HD (it gives me the same options by pressing F8 and go to repair are starting only I didn't have to put my admin password)

    The only thing I can think that I n t done is format my whole hard drive, I know that this is not always a solution, and I prefer to keep all my school and work files if possible. Fortunately I am able to get into the command prompt BACK and some of the most important things am copy on a USB key, but I'll still probably lose all my programs and larger files.

    Someone had a similar problem?
    If so, what was the solution?
    I would call all technical support, but I won't have time until after the new year to spend on the phone and I have a feeling that their solution will be to format and use the recovery disc.

    Man, such an expensive machine and then all this work of wouldn because of some software sh... So, if you have backed up your most important files, then, I would _recommend_ you to recover your machine. Won´t solve you anything just trying to find the error, believe me, you'll go nuts.

    Just put the recovery in the drive and start the process of "delete-all-my-programs-but-protect-my-nerves-and-make-everything-OK".

  • Satellite L550 - black screen with mobile cursor on startup

    Hello world

    I have a Win7 of Toshiba Satellite Pro l550-17u with a startup problem, black screen with a cursor, but not going beyond.

    Tried to reset the default values on initial F2 menu configuration
    Tried to boot in safe mode and the safe mode with networking
    I tried Repair computer option
    Tried the restore advanced user
    Tried to load the recovery disk
    Tried to boot the laptop directly from the disc
    Tried to remove the battery, but made no difference

    When I get the white screen with the cursor, I tried a few things mentioned.
    Ctrl + alt + delete to get the Task Manager, but nothing.
    Pushin' Win + R to open the Run dialog box, but it does not work.
    Click on SHIFT 5 times quickly to get ticky key opened to get to the Control Panel, but it did not work for me.

    Last night did not turn on my laptop turned off but when opened I received a message that my system has recovered from a serious error, you click on close and then it turned off my laptop had this problem since.

    Next step i think I can reinstall the memory but don't really want to start taking it to bits.

    I also have a large amount of data I really want out of the hard drive. any suggestions?

    Any help or suggestions much appreciated

    Hello

    To be honest, for me it looks like a Windows problem. Maybe something messed with the registry and Windows can start t more

    I think that you must restore windows recovery disk Toshiba you wrote that you have tried to load the restore disc but what happened after that? Can start the installation of recovery? If so, you should do this.

    Backup, you can do if you buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive and install in the case of HARD drive. Now you can connect to another computer.

  • Satellite A200 - white screen with 3 beeps

    Hello

    My Toshiba Satellite A200 was recently gives me a white screen with 3 beeps at every start. I took it to my friend for repair and they told me that I had to take the battery out and put it so that it starts. It worked for him, but not me. I called technical support and told me it was a hardware problem with the memory or the motherboard.

    Anyone have the same problem and know what to do? I wouldn't mind not check memory myself I don't know where to start...

    Thank you

    Hi hpthinker,

    I think the support that you called is right and it s a hardware problem. Perhaps with memory or the motherboard

    The best way to fix this would be new modules of RAM because they can be easily replaced in a few minutes and are not expensive nowadays.
    Just so buy new modules of RAM in your local computer store, or ask your authorized service provider for this problem. They can offer you new RAM modules and you can test it again.

    By the way: If you have two RAM modules, test it with a module only.

  • Satellite L500/00W - gray screen with lines appeared twice

    Hello

    2 weeks ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L500/00W and today I was reading something online that this grey screen with lines to come...
    He did so twice already... I do worry...

    This could be the cause? How should I do? This happen to anyone else?

    Thank you
    Lily

    Hello

    I m not L500 owner so I can't tell you if that happened or not.
    I A200 and U400 for my company and I didn t have shown such symptoms in the past

    He signed strange s if the display changes the brightness and display vertical lines.
    It might be a problem of display or something with the graphics card.

    If you see this new symptom then I would recommend connecting the laptop for external monitor to check if the same would be visible on the screen 2.

    If the same would be seen on 2nd screen there is a big chance that and GPU would be affected.

  • Satellite A100-906 - black screen with a cursor

    Hi all

    There is a problem with my Satellite A100-906:

    After having lit - Toshiba page appears - that the loading Windows XP page - more than a black screen with a cursor (the touchpad moveable)... and nothing more.

    That's what I tried without success:

    Detach the battery for over an hour
    Start the computer with battery detached
    Change the default BIOS settings
    Start in Safe Mode - the same black screen with 'safe mode' legends in the 4 corners of the screen.

    Please help with this.

    Hello

    According to your message, the screen of the laptop BIOS is visible and also the Windows screen.
    I think that it s not a hardware problem but a software problem.
    Maybe your operating system is confusing until you think about using the Toshiba Recovery disk and to restore the system?
    I mean you already tried the passage without danger and she didn't so in my opinion, the next step should be the new installation of the OS

  • Satellite A200 - black screen with two beeps

    Date: October 17, 2009

    I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer * model A200 PSAFCA-01400J *. I am facing a problem of * completely black screen * (I can't see any image either). It happened twice more than the screen wouldn't turn on by moving the mouse or the touchpad. To turn on the screen I had to restart the computer. The screen worked well until it turns off again. Since it does not turn on even after I restarted my computer several times. I noticed that my * Windows vista home premium * load properly I can hear audio that indicates that I am ready to open a session. I also noticed the sound signal after slipping my finger on the sensor attesting that I connected successfully, but the screen remains black.

    When I turn on my computer, I noticed that it sounds two beeps, first beep is short and the second beep is relatively long. I tested the cover closing the cover switch and noticed that my computer goes into sleep mode and by opening the cover that Eve turns off and my computer turns on again; but the screen remains black. One of my friends suggested that the backlight of the screen inverter or the lid switch is defective. Can someone tell me what could be the problem and what do the two beep codes?

    Thank you

    Hi mate,

    Normally the beep codes at the start of average that it s something wrong with the hardware of your laptop. As Akuma said, maybe the graphics card or RAM must be replaced or other parts too.

    Have you already tried to connect an external monitor? You can see a picture on this subject?
    I don't know but maybe what he s m only internal something wrong with the monitor.

    In any case, I think you should contact a service provider for help. Technicians can check the laptop and fix it for you.
