Question about display drivers - Satellite A200-BB5

Hello

I need to update the drivers to display on my Satellite A200-BB5. Vista is the operating system.

I just bought a LCD of Samsung Syncmaster P2250 monitor and am unable to set the resolution properly configure it to work with my laptor snd. I get the following message shows that sense when I'm trying to set the resolution of the screen:

"Cannot use the current graphics display driver. It was written for an earlier version of Windows and is no longer compatible with this version of Windows. The system has been started using the default VGA driver. »

Any help with this would be appreciated. I don't know much about computers in general. Talked to a technician at work and it tells me that my drivers are probably unhinged and I should be able to find the updates online.

Hello

It seems that the Satellite A200-BB5 belongs to the Canadian series for Toshiba laptop.

The latest drivers must be placed here:
http://support.Toshiba.ca/support/?LG=en&from=65

If you will always get this error message, then I would recommend 3rd party Web pages for a compatible driver.
If you n t know the GPU, then install a hardware diagnostic tool (i.e. Everest Home Edition). This will help you get all the details on you portable hardware.

  • Question about video drivers Satellite P100-257

    Hello.
    Question about video driver. Version 14.25... Works (tells... 945 GM chipset); 14.27--works but with ocassional problems (tells... 945GM/GU); version 14,29... (said 945GM/GU) - does not work at all - black screen, but you can hear sounds which tells that XP does all right.

    Why that? And what is GU? Pilot info says it is for 945GM, pilot says he's for 945GM/GU.

    All kinds of three said they are for Mobile Intel 945 GM Express chipset. Who initially my machine have said there. In section "video card" my machine said no Intel - some Calg... - don't remember exactly the name.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    As much as I know Satellite P100-257 supports the graphics card Mobile Intel 945GM. The code name of Intel's GM Calistoga
    This is not the same thing as the chipset Intel 945GM/GU. Both are different and so the graphics drivers are not totally compatible!

    The Intel page provides some interesting info on these chipsets:
    Mobile Intel Express Chipset 945GM

    Unfortunately, I have not found anything on the 945GM/GU.

    Hello

    > How long hold battery (6-cell) to the A200 - 14 d?

    It depends on the use of the laptop and the battery type if you can run applications that need to CPU and graphics performance or will watch movies DVD then the battery working time would be much shorter.
    But isn't bad 1 h 50 min

    I found a compatible PA3535U-1BRS battery for this camera. It s a Li-ion, 9 cell, 6000mAh battery and performance should be better.

    Before you start installing the new driver remove the old. You can do this in the properties of the device in Device Manager.

  • Questions about TV Tuner Satellite A500/040

    Hi all

    I'm new to the Tuner of TV analog digital hybrid and I'm sorry if my questions seem as stupid.

    I have two questions about the of digital TV Tuner analog integrated hybrid in the Notebook Toshiba Satellite A500/040. My understanding is that the TV tuner hybrid integrated able to decode TV signals high definition and their display on TV via its HDMI port. I wonder if I could watch TV shows on your laptop without connecting to a TV. If so, is the software needed? There are several USB TV tuners for desktops and laptops on the market, A500 hybrid TV tuner works differently these USB TV tuners?

    Thank you

    Young

    > I think I know that the TV tuner hybrid integrated able to decode TV signals high definition and their display on TV via its HDMI port.

    N ° this s tv tuner not a HD!
    It s a digital tuner that provides digital video signal 576i and not 1080i.

    Of course, you can use the HDMI port to connect the laptop to the LCD HDMI port but you will not get the quality video full HD as blueray for example.

    I found this Australian page from Toshiba:
    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/A500/psam3a-04000e

    You will find this passage short text:
    + With tuner TV built-in, you can even watch analog or digital TV everywhere where you travel, while the HDMI ports make connecting high definition on your TV screen and sound system. +

    You can also watch TV on mobile phones display! It's a key reason why the TV tuner built in ;)

  • Could not adjust brightness of the display on Satellite A200 PSAFCL

    IM using Satellite a series,.
    Model: PSAFCL

    Can someone tell me where I go to update my BIOS, im currently using 1.90v.

    I want to update it's because I can't adjust the brightness of the screen.
    I can't find it on the power option in the Panel.

    Someone help me pls?

    Hello

    The series of Satellite A200 PSAFCL is certainly not a European model, and therefore, you will not find any drivers or updates to the BIOS of Toshiba Europe page.

    It looks like a device designed for the Asian market.
    I found this page from the PSAFCL A200 series Toshiba:
    http://www.Toshiba-Asia.com/notebooks/viewConfig.jsp?configID=1637

    Maybe it helps.

    By the way; If you want to use the original operating system preinstalled, so everything should function. Also a screen brightness control.

  • Question about temperature internal Satellite A300 ND1

    Hello

    I have a question about the temperature of the standards it of ok for my laptop and what is the normal temperature and how can I keep it low?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It's not easy to say what a normal temperature could be.
    The temperature is not always the same and it depends on the use of the laptop.
    Usually, the temperature would increase while gaming or running applications high performance. Why? Because all devices such as the CPU and GPU would focus the heat dissipation and this leads to a higher temperature.

    > How can I keep it low
    Very simply, you can keep still low level, but you can make sure there is enough free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation.
    Also don t use the laptop on your knees etc in order do not obstruct cooling fans.

    It s also advised to clean the fans from time to time using the jet of compressed air. These sprays are really useful and could buy in the stores of different computers.

  • Satellite C660-1F1 - Question about newer drivers and the speed of the memory

    Some of the drivers for this laptop are outdated compared to the most recent drivers on peripheral manufacters website. Is it safe to use these new drivers or is it recommended to stick with the old drivers that are on the Toshiba site?

    And second question: is it possible to make the fastest possible working memory supported? Don t BIOS options include options for the parameters of memory. Why the memory is running as low mhz in case of default? CPU - Z shows that the current frequency of dram is 532, 2 mhz. What is the maximum, it is at 667 mhz? Probably she can´t be 1 066 MHz as promised in the specs?

    Hi cryogenized,.

    > Some of the drivers for this laptop are outdated compared to the most recent drivers on peripheral manufacters website. Is it safe to use these new drivers or is it recommended to stick with the old drivers that are on the Toshiba site?
    Why you want to update your drivers? Do you expect a gain of performance with newer drivers?

    Way General, with official Toshiba drivers you are on the safe side because they are pre-tested. If you can make sure that they work properly and don t cause property damage. Install the other drivers happens on your own risk!

Probably she can´t be 1 066 MHz as promised in the specs?
    The laptop is equipped with modules of DDR3 1066 MHz and the RAM speed is dependent on the FSB of the processor. If your CPU is throttling down, RAM modules will work also on low speed. On a high utilization of the processor (100%) the RAM modules must run with speed of 1066 MHz I think.

  • Question about upgrading drivers Nvidia on Satellite Pro X 200

    Can I update the drivers from nvidia 8700 for my 8700 pro satellite drivers for vista from nvidia home page,.
    or do I have to use the toshiba page.

    The reason I ask, is because I had a laptop computer manufacturers one another, and when I updated my nvidia drivers from the nvidia homepage,.
    Spoolsv.exe has started using all my cpu, and the reason was that this driver has not been supported by this manufacturer

    Shouldn´t you use the original Nvidia drivers since they are not changed for mobile platforms. If you install drivers from there, your computer will run much hotter then now and it won´t work correctly because the programming of schedules for the GPU and RAM are not correct.

    You will need to go here:

  • Satellite 1900-303 - question about display driver

    There are TWO pilots in the Toshiba site dated one month apart.

    Should I install a former first and then the second?

    There is no details on the site.

    Check it out here

    I really don't understand why there are two of them, but in my opinion, you must install the driver with the number of listed versions. I can't imagine that you need to install both of them.

    If please test and let us know how it works.

  • Re: How do we get Toshiba to ask newer drivers - Satellite A200 - 28 p ATI

    Hello

    I have an A200 - 28 p with an ATI HD2600 card in it and the July 08 version of the driver 8.452 on it,
    Now, I sent ATI and asked if there was anyway that they could provide Toshiba with the driver which corrects a known issue in the Sims 2 game where cards ATI 2.3 Series 4000 suffer a black screen on TV and the PC doesn't have an image.

    And they essentially told me that they cannot offer me a updated driver and there are ways to get the latest drivers but that belong to my laptop maunfacturer asking for the latest drivers as people with desktop computers with one of the affected cards have all had a driver update to solve the problem and the creators of the game provided a fix in one set updated for one of the expansion packs that I don't own.

    So unless I may leave an exemplary program called Securom on my laptop I can not get my number black screen fixed am used now but when feel well enough to play on desktop is fun to see TV programs and pictures of PC seems unfair to my laptop can not have a more recent updated driver with a fix in there.

    Anyone know who I need to contact Toshiba to see if ask ATI for a driver with a fix in for this problem known?

    Post edited by: Simreaper Oops misspelling

    This tool is known to me, but it s at your own risk to use these drivers and tools!

    The display driver for desktop PC s don t have protection against overheating and if the graphics chip can be damaged.
    So I think that this solution of good isn t.

    About the main problem perhaps there is an upgrade or patch for the Sims 2 available which solve this problem.
    I search with Google for a stamp. :)

  • New display for Satellite A200-1FJ driver

    Hello

    I had a Toshiba Satellite laptop. It s 200 - 1FJ with a processor Intel VGA X 3100.
    I have a question; why I can t find a updated driver for my VGA of Toshiba Web site?

    The version I found is so old.

    Hello

    This is a good question, I guess that the graphics driver of Toshiba laptop are not the same as the original Web sites of manufacturers of graphics card driver.
    The Toshiba graphics drivers are modified and specially designed for the use of the laptop.
    The drivers of the most original of Intel, nVidia, ATI site are created for desktop PC graphics cards.

    However, you can try to install the driver of the Intel page but only at your own risk as a 3rd party driver is not certified for the use of the laptop.

    You can download the driver, unzip and install the graphics driver through the Device Manager.
    Here you can choose the graphics card could reinstall it by using the advanced procedure. You could point to where the driver files have been unzipped and could be updated.
