Problems with the online games on Satellite A300

I recently bought an A300 Toshy under Windows Vista Home Premium and it cannot find all the games to play online.
I opened all the ports that are correct and I can connect to the internet fine, but I never see all the games in a hall online.
I tried to cs: source, warcraft 3 and the 2 Team Fortress and none show all games when searching online.

My guess is it's a network problem, but I have no idea what, anyone have any ideas?

Hello!

You have internet security software or firewall on your laptop installed? This could block the games so check that!
Also, make sure that Windows Firewall doesn't block games.

In addition, you should check if you have Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista installed.

Good bye

  • Problem with the software Modem on Satellite Pro L40

    I tried to set up a connection Dial-Up Networking on a Satellite Pro L40 running Vista and can't get the modem to talk to the modem from the ISP. The connection appears OK and then you can hear the modem dial, but when the ISP picks up there is a bit of yelling and then my modem abandons the connection and I get the standard vista connection failed box.

    Things I've tried:
    -latest drivers for the 2.1.77.0 modem (and the rest of the system) downloaded from Toshiba and installed OK
    -all the updates of windows installed
    -removal of the modem in the Manager of peripherals and re - install
    -suppression of the agrsmdel.exe and then re-install
    -try different cables to plug into the phone jack
    -several different ISPS and phone numbers
    -reduce the maximum speed of the connection
    -connection to the same ISP with my Satellite L10; works very well never have time!
    -using the windows to diagnose and repair the tool (set last resort!); says that the modem works fine and can not find a problem with the connection

    Is it possible that the update of the BIOS on the laptop would make a difference (currently v 1.60)? I did some research on Google and found messages on various forums, which suggests that the connection between the motherboard and the modem chip is a little doubtful for all the Agere Soft Modem; If the case is it something I can fix myself or I should go for warranty repair?

    Hello

    I'm sure that there is no problem with your modem, but with the configuration or even s ISP modem. I recommend you to speak with the support of the ISP.

  • Problems with the installation of recovery - Satellite A300D - BSOD

    Hello

    The laptop in question (TOSHIBA Satellite A300D) recently stopped starting (BSoD).

    So, I tried using the recovery disk, but there is no help. What happens is:
    -After about 10 minutes of waiting, the first language menu load, so I click on "next".
    - Then I again click Next and accept the message that my HARD drive will be erased
    - Then I see a cmd prompt that says "try to remove all the letters of partitions possible...". »
    -There is also a minimized command prompt that says something like "RAID failed to initialize."
    -And then nothing happens.

    Is this a hardware problem? I also tried a full installation (instead of recovery), which, even once, is simply not. None of the errors is - it just freezes.

    Any help appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if you were not able to install the OS by using two different facilities CDs/DVDs, so there must be a problem with the HARD drive.

    The warranty is still valid?
    I mean you can contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and explain the situation. They can swap the HDD and again test the recovery procedure.
    Can you get somewhere 2,5 SATA HDD for testing?

  • Error message "A problem with the cooling system" on Satellite A660

    Hi all

    Hope I can get help here. I got about 5 laptop computers HP after each of them had problems and errors. I got sick of them and so got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.

    The A660 is a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started having a saying of warning message "a problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service "."

    The cpu fan works fine you can here it turns and the temperature of the processor i5 - 460 m is around 40 degrees for two hearts - that seems normal to me. I noticed that this happens only when running on battery, and if you switch from eco utility to the power saving mode. Its fine when running on the "balanced" power setting The fan is louder before when this message appears.

    Like its less than 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new immediately. Got a new home page, and the same message reappears. Everyone knows this. Like two laptops had this, I was wondering if it is normal that the laptop A660 series or if it was really a hardware problem?

    I tried to update the eco utility and the bios of the laptop, but the two are the latest versions. Can someone help or share if they have a similar problem with their laptop?

    Thank you

    In front of me, I have Satellite A660-13 q (PSAW3E) and I have about 6 weeks now. It works almost 10 hours a day and so far I didn't notice this message or anything that may be suspect for the operation of the equipment.

    I put really know why this happen on your laptop and don t think that there is nothing you can do about it.
    I would trade it again. What you can also try is to contact the closest service Toshiba. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.

  • Problems with the graphics card on Satellite Pro M10

    Hi, this is my first post on the forum. I'm not a pro with computers or anything... the problem I have with my laptop is similar to the one in this thread:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26849&TSTART=0

    I spent half the day trying to figure out if my graphics card is broken, but since I'm a newbie with this stuff, I'm still not sure. :(

    This is what makes my M10. I'm trying to describe the symptoms that detailed as possible, but I'm German, so please excuse my lack of words in some places.

    1. when I turn it on, the laptop goes through the BIOS and give me scrambled BACK-screens and a slightly Warped windows loading bar. There is the consistency check, marked by black bars connecting the top of the screen down. After the audit, the screen goes black and nothing happens, or the screen of will just show me consistency check, do nothing. Be that as it may, I have to turn off the power (I think) and restart the laptop.

    2. sometimes the laptop goes through the BIOS checking & conistency with a few graphical shortcomings. The office is anything but shredded when he gets to the screen of the Windows user. The static method is if serious I don't even know where is the button turn off.

    3. sometimes Notepad starts very well, with the only graphic problem being the windows loading bar. When I go into Windows, the laptop pulls me a blue screen and stops immediately.

    4. sometimes, the laptop works fine for about an hour or two. After I rebooted, I have the same problems listed above, once again.

    5. If I open Device Manager and disable the graphics card, the laptop works very well. I have to lower the screen resolution and colors, but I can watch videos on youtube and everything. Finally, the laptop gets very hot on the bottom and the screen goes crazy again, so I turn the damn thing off.

    I don't know what that means! If my graphics card is broken, the screen should be all static, ALL the time? Not just sometimes more,... could sometimes less be some sort of communication problem between the graphics card and cpu? Please help me with this!

    Another thing I'm not sure about, even after reading the thread I linked above - can I replace the graphics card or not? Everyone said something different in the other thread...

    see you soon,
    Cozmo

    Edit: maybe I will add when I got the screen scrambled and everything. I installed Civilization 4, just to check if my satellite pro can handle, and everything went well for a while. The screen then haywire and I rebuilt my whole system, but display problems did not disappear completely. They were gone for almost a month, and now they are 'back' or something.

    Hi Cozmo

    I'm not a technician but here nobody needs technical knowledge to see that there certainly is hardware problem. I also believe that this problem occurs due to the graphics card. Graphics card is part of the motherboard and it cannot be traded separately. The entire motherboard must be exchanged.

    In my opinion, you have two options: either contact the authorized service provider in your country and speak with them, what can be done, or try to get the motherboard used. If you are lucky, you can find it on eBay. I already bought several hardware components for my old Satellite P10 on eBay.

    Sorry Cozmo but I do not see any other logical solution for you.

    Good luck!

  • Problem with the Activision game

    Hi Mark
    Thanks a lot for your answer. Sorry, it took a lot of time to get back to you, Windows 7, you do not know ;-)

    Right, I tried both of your suggestions, the first I followed religously, had incorrect switch or waited for bad back prompt [!] I think so. The second went well, but nothing seemed to be the case, no patience, maybe.
    In any case, I bought another 1 Tb HDD [Cheap @ Maplins, UK] and tried to the other installation costs. Guess what? Yes, it is true, he went abso-bloody-Marc soft.
    No problem. Everything is installed, or almost, and it's all working well.
    Thanks again Mark.
    p.s. I don't think you know why everyone including Activision AND Microsoft said that Call of Duty: World at War is totally compatible and works on Windows 7 64 bit... and! do you have?

    All the best
    Bozsvfr

    Bozsvfr,
    COD: World at War is a game compatible with Windows 7 64 bit.  A common problem with some games running after moving to Windows 7's hardware drivers.  Make sure that your system meets the requirements of the game system and then update your hardware drivers.  If make sure that hardware vendors have 64-bit drivers Windows 7 available, usually video and sound drivers cause problems with games when they are not updated.

    If everything is up to date so you may want to boot your pc and test.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Problems with the old game; Total Annihlation. Display a horizontal bars, turns into a rainbow of colors. Help, please. I love this game.

    I have display problems with a game that I just downloaded. The game is Annihlation Total; the game does not appear correctly. He works for a few seconds, all the graphics turn Rainbow and I can't seem to stop. Tried to run in compatibility mode; did not work. I hope there is a solution because this is one of my favorite games...

    Hi razorbladeapple,

    (a) what operating system do you have? And also to indicate the version?
     
    There is currently no information on the compatibility of the game with Windows 7.
     
    (b) is the display horizontal bar change only whem you play the game?
     
    (c) you have installed the updated display drivers?
     
    Some devices have drivers you need to install yourself. If you download a driver that is not self-installable, follow these steps:
     
    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
     
     
    Contact GT Interactive and check what they have to say about the compatibility of the game with Windows 7 because they are the best people to offer support.

    I have problems since I changed my computer from vista to windows7... Sites game requiring shockwave remains... I get knocked off line every few minutes... Why? How can I stop this?

    Hot4Lefteris,
    The first thing I would say (if you have not already done) is to ensure that you have the latest version of Shockwave installed.  If you have still a problem, I would like to run IE without Add-ons and then put only the module Shockwave Player and the test.  Also, follow the other steps listed here and post back with the results.

  • Strange problem with ports USB on my Satellite A300-243

    Hello

    I have the following problem. So far, I have 4 USB ports, and only my USB key and key to my friend works there. All other USB keys (I tried mby 20 different ones) does not work: aks for, pilot research, etc...

    I spent many hours together in the internet search, but I didn t find a USB driver, but I don't even know what I'm looking for. So please, I would be very happy if someone could help me with this.
    And I forgot: other devices do not work too. I use it y of the mouse, but it only works in the USB port on the left. Safely, he asks for driver...

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Normally you n t need a driver for USB. On XP, Vista and Windows 7 the stick will be automatically installed and no driver is no longer necessary.

    Can you please tell us what OS you are using? This happens with the factory settings or you have installed another OS?
    You should try with the factory settings and update the chipset driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site. In addition, updating the BIOS could also be helpful.

    Hello

    These last days, I have a problem with my laptop. When I start it, nothing happens on the screen. I hear the process etc. of fans, hard drive, but there is no reaction to the screen. There is only one way to close: take out the battery and adapter.
    When I start it up after the problem, everything works fine.

    Anyone know what it is?

    Thank you

    I read about similar cases. It s really strange, but sometimes it happens
    But usually the BIOS update should contribute to

    You use the latest version of the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, update with the correct version.

    Good evening!

  • Strange problem with the module memory series Satellite Pro 4300

    I have a laptop Toshiba satellite pro 4300 series with 64 MB onboard + 64 MB Module and I want to upgrade my memory to 320 MB. I bought two ram of 128 MB each. I removed the 64 MB module and I put a 128 MB module into the slot (A) one, but I saw that the total memory is 128 MB again.

    I removed the module again and I put the second module in the connector (A), but I saw that the total memory is 128 MB again. After that, I put the two modules in my notebook (Slot A and slot B) but I see that the total memory is 192 MB. This means that it recognizes each module as 64 MB as opposed to 128 MB. Dose anyone know why this happens?
    And what do I do about it?

    Thank you.
    [email protected]

    Hello

    Well, I put t know why this happens. It seems that the 128 MB modules are 64 MB modules. I know that it of strange but I have only this explanation. You are 100% sure that both modules of memory 128 MB?
    In my opinion, you should check the bars of memory if they have 128 MB.
