• Vista drivers for Satellite Pro M70 mass storage

  Hello everyone. I would like to know if there are and where I can download updated device driver for my Satellite Pro M70 (PSM 75-E) mass storage. I tried searching but I found nothing.

  All other drivers are ok. Infact for audio drivers I used the Xp one and it's ok. The only one who is not installed is a 'mass storage device' I think it's for multireader memory card. Can someone help me? There is a way to install the Xp drivers as for any other material?

  Thanks for any response.

  Hello

  Driver Toshiba page provides all the Vista for the Satellite Pro M70 drivers!
  Only the BIOS and driver Vista BT's are available for this laptop.

  I checked the XP section and Cardbus driver and Chip Set Utility are available.
  I guess that these two applications are required.
  I m do not know if you will be able to install these utilities on Vista, but a train is free.

  If the two applications will not work I guess you have to refrain from the use of the reader of memory card on Vista.

• Satellite P200-1FZ: Question about Vista performance index?

  I recently bought a P200D-128 announced as having 256 MB of memory graphic dedicated only to find only has a HD2400 with 128 MB card (the name must have been an idea, I know).

  I was looking for a model with 256 MB I had read that it was recommended for good graphics performance in Vista.
  On the P200-128 model Vista performance index showed:

  Processor: 4.8
  Memory: 5.9
  Graphics: 3.3
  Games graphics: 3.7
  Hard drive: 5.2

  If the overall score of 3.3 seems not be limited by the graphics performance.

  I now plans to upgrade this model to a P200-1FZ (which has a HD2600 with 256 MB memory card), but would like to know if it significantly improves the score of graphics and Vista performance index.

  If anyone has this model (or a relative) and could tell me the VEI score, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Just FYI: I Satellite P200D-111 with ATI Mobility Radeon X 2600 almost 5 months now. I use Vista Home Premium and to be honest, I'm quite satisfied with the performance of Vista. Up to now, I also tested with several games such as Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4, El Matador and older games like FarCry and Max Payne 2 WXP. It works perfectly.

  I like Call of Duty 4. He funs all simply fantastic. I do not even use complete running. At the moment I think to upgrade RAM to have better running OS. in the end, I can say one thing: for the reasonable price, I have large notebook.

  Good bye

• Question about sound card on Satellite Pro L40

  Hello

  I use a program called Sibelius and recommended an ASIO compatible sound card.
  Can someone tell me if the sound in the satellite pro L40 series card is compatible ASIO?
  If not I can plug a card external sound which is compatible and if so how can I turn off the internal sound card.

  Thank you

  I really don't think not someone will be able to give you information about the ASIO compatibility, but I see no problem, that is if you want to use the external device. Card internal sound, you can disable it in Device Manager.

• Question about the partitions on satellite Pro L300-164

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 and it came with vista on the 1 74 GB partition and a data partition 73 GB but it has a folder called HARD drive recovery, but I want Vista to all of the 140 gb and have the recovery partition on a small partition of 4 GB for HARD drive recovery.

  Is this possible without mucking up the HARD drive recovery?

  No, is not possible, but that you can and should do is create recovery DVDs.
  After doing this, you can remove this folder and organize partition how you want it to be.
  Remember that you will lose the ability to install the operating system from the disk using F8 and repair my computer option.

  If a problem occurs, you can install Vista using this recovery DVDs.
  Please note: after installation of recovery, you will have the same structure divides again and all your saved data will be gone.

• Question about Firewire Port on Satellite Pro P200

  Can someone tell me if I can connect an audio interface (firewire) to the nearest port of the front on the left side of my P200?

  A friend told me that I would need a port like this: [http://www.hardware-one.com/reviews/Yamaha8824FXZ/images/FirewireSocket.jpg] Although the port of P200 is smaller: [http://pix.crutchfield.com/lifestyle/2001/l4PinFirewireJack.jpeg]

  The interface, I am considering buying this: [http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/15527]

  Welcome advice,

  saibhir

  Hello

  I guess that the support of the Satellite Pro P200 4pol firewire (IEEE 1394) port.
  Your external audio device supports firewire 6pol ports.
  That's why you need a cable or an adapter which favour both standards firewire; 4pol and 6pol

  I think a cable like this should help you connect audio devices for satellite Pro P200

• Question about upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE I want to upgrade. I currently have 1 GB of RAM in two 512 MB modules. I looked on Crucial.com and he says I need DDR2 PC2 4200 module (240 pin DIMM), but of course, they want to sell their own stuff that only comes in 1 GB modules.
  So, what is the maximum amount of RAM my computer can take? I would like to have more than 2 GB in order to make my page file smaller. Is 2 GB maximum I can put in?

  To be honest, I read several threads where people were not so happy with the RAMs from crucial. In my opinion, you should spend your laptop with 2 x 1 GB RAM. With 2 GB of RAM, your laptop will work fine and I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

  As recommendable modules, you must use either 1 GB (PA3411U-2M1G) or module recommended by Kingston.

• Question about DVD drive on Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7

  Although the [Specification | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=131911] told my Sat - Pro A200 (PSAE7) comes with a drive DVD Toshiba, it is * NOT * installed in my machine. I tried to download what is called "dvdpl-20070807102909" (what is the program?) download from Toshiba site, but when I double-click on the "setup.exe" inside the application, Windows Vista says 'cannot install this application.

  I also watched inside the recovery disc that comes with the laptop, but nothing obvious to click to install the drive appears.

  Please what could someone help and tell me how to install this DVD player?

  It s a bit strange
  On the European driver Toshiba page, I could find the Toshiba DVD player software.
  It s version 1.10.06 DVD player
  So I assume it must be preinstalled on the Toshiba laptop.

  The restore CD that came with the laptop contains an image of Toshiba. This image should support Windows OS, all Toshiba driver, utility and software tools extra.
  Please insert the recovery CD into the CD/DVD drive and boot from this CD.

  This procedure will format the whole HARD drive and install the operating system again on the laptop.
  After a new installation, please check if the Toshiba DVD player is available!

• Question about upgrading HDD on Satellite Pro U200-128

  Hello

  I want to spend my laptop U200-128 HARD drive. What is the maximum size of HARD drive that can be used? Is it possible to use the 250 GB HARD drive? My current BIOS version is 3.7

  It will be very nice if you can confirm that the upgrade of the HARD drive has been successfully. All info on the hardware upgrade can be useful for other people who visit this forum.

• Question about the temperature of the processor and the use of Vista on Satellite Pro M70

  Hello

  I have Satellite Pro M70-113 and it has Intel mobile Pentium 1.86 GHz CPU.
  The problem is that its normal temperature is 80 degrees Celsius... while I use the browser and other common programs...
  and recently it automatically shut off twice and pressing the button works / stop won't turn on... when I unplugged, replugged the power cord so I could only turn it on...

  And while playing games, it would of course go above 100 degrees...

  So you know what is the max temp through which the CPU can go without stop or damage the CPU or surrounding a circuit?
  I know that when I bought this laptop about 2 years back... it was not warm this...

  And by the way this laptop came with WXP Pro preinstalled and doesn't show any vista capable logo (because at the time, there was no such promotion of Microsoft, as it was the year 2005, Nov).

  Now, I use vista and upgraded to 1 GB of RAM and I have no problem using the Vista pc.

  Secondly, I did not update my BIOS to version the most recent is available.

  Although I'd love to have updated the BIOS but I worry about the bad flashing and says BIOS driver update page that the version of the BIOS doesn't support vista - whatever that means? If I go back to Windows XP Home edition after installing the BIOS for vista, the pc will not be usable for WXP or what?

  Is there any link to the processor heats to the old version of the BIOS, I'm still using... will update BIOS facilitated the temperature?

  Please answer.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Wow, you have a lot of questions. :) If I was sort of a support guy to it all with such question much. ;)

  No, I'm kidding; with regard to your questions:

  First of all you must clean your CPU cooling with compressed air, because if the breakdown is clobbed with dust and then it s just logical that your processor is a little bit more 'hot' then 2 years before.

  The max temp is available on the website of intel. I think that the section is called "intel spec finder" or something similar.
  With Vista and bios: you need to update your bios, since then some improvements are making more compatible bios for vista.
  But don t worry, XP won´t be unusable if you update your bios, the bios-update brings improvements for vista, but does not degrade anything about XP.

  If the bios update will solve this temporary problem is not clearly, rather a cleaning as I told you will be better.

• Satellite Pro M70: The game performance with Vista and Intel 915GM graphics card

  I have a satellite Pro M70 1.73Ghz with 768 MB of RAM.
  Although many would condemn the 915GM chipset (with graphic GMA900) as garbage, I was surprised to find on XP it can run quite a few games like Need for Speed Underground 2.
  I've heard some bad comments on the chipset with vista, and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if I'll get the same kind of performance 3D with vista or not.

  Hey guys

  You have a Mobile Intel 915GM 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. What do you expect?
  Check on the Microsoft website, the terms of Vista!

  It s not a graphics card performance and the games will not work with fast performance under XP and not Vista OS.

  Expect too buddy!

• Satellite Pro M70: Question on the port on the left hand side

  Another question regarding the Pro M70 PSM75E, next to the hard drive (left side) there is a port which you can take off. I took it of and it looks like a chip grafx or something: s someone with the M70 not what it is.

  Thanks again

  Hello

  Well, there are of many Satellite Pro M70. It s a great series.
  But for example Satellite Pro M70-110 has a PCMCIA Type II slot.
  You can use the different PCMICA card in this slot. But they must be compatible.
  I guess this slot machine, you found a plastic Board. This is only for security.

  However, if you want to learn more about your device, I would recommend reading the user manual which must be preinstalled on your laptop. You will find very, very, very ;) useful information.

• Upgrade Vista on Satellite Pro M70

  I have the disc Step By Step Business Express Upgrade DVD-ROM and updated and intend to install it on my Satellite Pro M70. The M70 is not among the list of computers.
  Where should I go from here?

  Ian

  Hello

  I m bit confused.
  What do you mean bythe M70 is not among the list of computers?

  You can perform the installation of Vista Express Upgrade or you can just install from the original CD of Microsoft Vista.
  This should be no problem! All Toshiba Vista need drivers and tools are published on the page of the Toshiba driver and all internal portable devices should be recognized as well.

  If you missed something or what?

• Re: Satellite Pro M70 - high utilization of the processor - low Performance

  I sincerely hope that someone can help you. I do not consider myself really computer illiterate, but this is where my understanding ends and I really value any assistance.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 for 2 years and I'm a final Defender to Toshiba. However, my operating system is slow. Average day use with Internet Explorer and Office 2007 is a laborious process that takes too much time. I have had conflicts with Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, that works perfectly.

  But turn on the computer takes forever. The CPU usage is generally high and System Idle process as well. I reinstalled Windows XP from the Boot Toshiba DVD already 4 times to nine and install everything over and over again. Each time after all to speed once again, performance is disappointing.

  I expanded RAM to 1.49 GB that makes little difference from the original 1/3 of RAM. It seems that something is slowing down the computer, but it is not visible in the process; but a certain process of svhost.exe who have the ability to handle little or the CPU usage.

  I've used Windows Gold Certified Uniblue Power Suite with a good registry cleaner. This helps a little, but after a few days, it seems only make it worse. I have a processor Intel Pentium M 1.73 GHz. search online reveals that Trend Micro IS 2008 is pretty good and demanding little capacity compared to the competing security packages.

  Is this system/software related or it could be a hardware problem?

  Thanks in advance to all!

  Hello

  I doubt that it could be a hardware problem, I mean a CPU usage can get if a certain service or applications would be run in the background of the OS.

  Generally, Antivirus applications are a kind of software that could cause this problem I had a Norton System works installed on my laptop and this software needs a lot of resources that slowed down the laptop
  In addition, some applications of Toshiba which are installed and running in the background may affect performance. But these applications are required to be able to use all the features of the laptop

  However, in msconfig you could disable.
  Launch msconfig-> Startup tab and disable some processes that are not necessary for you.

  In addition, you can use the CCleaner to clean the registry and operating system

• Satellite Pro M70: DDR2 memory matching question

  I have a Satellite Pro M70 (model PSM76E-00500KEN) with 512 MB of RAM in a housing and want to upgrade to 1 GB or more. I plan to put a 1 GB module in the slot to spare, but reading that there is sometimes a performance advantage of the installation of modules of DDR2 in pairs. Can someone tell me if there is any advantage to have the correspondence of the modules into the two slots of the Satellite Pro M70? Or, in other words, is there any reason not to run 1 GB in a slot and 512 MB in the other?

  Hello

  Dual channel DDR involves the use of memory modules DDR 2 to double bandwidth memory. The memory modules DDR themselves are no different. The only requirement is that the controller memory on the motherboard supports this interface dual channel.
