• Portege R500: Pwdbank starts consuming 50% of CPU

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 (it's great!), running Vista with SP1.
  However from time to time pwdbank.exe, the banking password part of TrueSuite, starts consuming 50% of CPU.

  I downloaded the last update, but it has not solved the problem.

  Has anyone seen this problem?

  Thanks in advance

  Why do you think that it s a problem?
  Maybe this application needs of these material resources from time to time

• Portege R500: no action when a music or other disc is inserted

  My new (30 days) Portege R500 took just the same problem.

  The DVD player is always on (indicator lite) and seems to be trying to read the discs but
  -No file shown in windows Explorer
  -no action when a music disc or another type that is defined for "autoplay" is inserted.
  It worked when I got it.

  Anyone from Toshiba tell me whether there is a systemic hardware problem?
  There are other posts that seem to have the same problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > no file shown in windows Explorer
  I think that you should boot from the recovery disc and should reinstall the new OS.
  Then check if your CD/DVD drive would recognize the inserted disc.
  In addition, you must remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  In many cases, it helps.

  If two procedures will not help a Toshiba ASP should take a look on this laptop and check the STRANGE.
  Perhaps the problem could be related to hardware (I don't think)

  Your system runs a check of the Performance of Microsoft Diagnostics when starting, why start has slowed to a crawl. And it seems to work many times.  I don't know why this is the case - none of what you posted gives a cause for verification.  Are there other errors leading up to these?  If so, could you put them as well?

  Go to start / search and type msconfig and enter.  Double-click the program icon that appears.  Click the Startup tab and check to see if Microsoft Diagnostics is listed as a startup item - it then, uncheck the box. (I did not thiink it is the problem, but it is best to check to be sure.)

  Try a system restore to a point BEFORE this problem started to occur.  Here's how: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If this does not work, try an earlier point or two.

  If this does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc or your recovery disk. Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do the CD drive first in the boot sequence.  It was boot the PC and wait for the screen where it shows the F key to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the change, save your work and exit.  Insert the CD into the drive and restart.  When you are prompted, press a key to start the PC.

  If you don't have a floppy, you can make a recovery disk to http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ using a burning like software: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and of course a blank CD.  This recovery file is just as good as one that comes with Vista, but it can't do a reinstall.  You can do a system restore or startup repair or even use the command prompt.  Boot from the CD may be your only option to keep the PC "awake" long enough to make the procedures - which even works.

  If it does not go to Sart / all Aprograms / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well, it completes without error, it could not repair (if such errors occur, then post back here).

  Then type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to fix bad sectors on your hard drive.

  If that is not working, after return and we work on other solutions to the problem - we have still quite a few options, we can try - but I think that the first option for recovery (System Restore) is likely to work best if you know ehen this started and can find a restore prior to that point.

  Good luck and I hope this helps - but please post back whatever the case.  We are here to help you best we can.

• Portege M500 cannot start when the USB ports are loaded

  We have a M500 that recently seems to be affected by start-up problems when the USB ports are loaded with things like KB and Wireless Mouse USB external adapter.

  When these ports are occupied at the start, all the usual tools seem do not load and the associated icons do not appear in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. The machine in question XP Professional and has 2 GB of RAM. The machine software is generally updated. Machine seems to start normally when the USB ports are empty.

  Once completed a successful boot USB ports can be occupied and the machine will then seem to operate normally.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  In your case, I would do a BIOS update and also the chipset driver.
  The two you can find on the Toshiba site. I m not sure but I think you have a model for Canada:

  Have you tested the devices USB on another computer laptop or PC? Maybe the problem is the keyboard and/or the mouse and not the laptop.

• Windows 7 32-bit slow start of blue circle hangs on the network icon in the tray for 10 minutes, some programs don't load until the problem resolves.

  Hello world.

  It will be long and windy.

  I have a problem with my Dell XPS M1530.

  im going to write down the details of my question, short first. so if you want you can read my short story on my laptop and I.

  • Slow start.
  • Network at startup initialization problem.
  • Blue circle weighs on my network icon in the taskbar notification for 10 minutes or more. then she disappears with the problem that everything starts to operate correctly.
  • some startup programs do not start until the issue is resolved. (blue circle disappears) i.e. Dell touchpad, magic disc, pda.net and perhaps language bar.
  • programs that have to do with the network or the internet such as IE or center network to hang until the issue is resolved.
  • Some programs won't load if started up that the problem is solved. i.e. open office, cakewalk sonar.

  Another thing, I noticed. If I have automatic network connection configuration and the network is in range when I launch firefox I can actually serf the web regardless of the question.

  I'm not the only one having this problem, but solutions that work for some do not work for me. some of the things I've tried to understand.

  • has run msconfig to see if it is one of the start up programs or cervix causing the problem. found nothing.
  • has ran the command cmd, I forgot what's it called some thing/something else. It digitizes and restores the registers according to me. did not help
  • Used pc AVG scanner. then corrected all the errors found and the questions. did not help.
  • reinstalled the network drivers. did not help.
  • Ran startup recovery tool to fix problems at the beginning. did not help.
  • Booted up my laptop in SafeMode with network. Works very well

  Also, the problem started not with win 7 install I had it on my laptop well before the Enigma.

  im running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. as if lately, about 3 months ago, my laptop started to start slowly and be laggy when the system boots. I have no much attention at first. Since the question does not disappear on its own, I noticed that my network in the notification bar icon has a blue circle probably because its network initialization or loading something that is bound to it something as is. After about 10 minutes the issue resolves itself and everything works fine until I have reboot or restart. also if I put my laptop to sleep when I start it it works fine. I think that the time to resolve that issue got longer it is about 10 min now but it used a lot less. at least that's what I recall. In addition, I noticed a few more things. If I left click on the network icon does nothing when normally it will display network connections. If I right click on it displays troubleshooting and Open Network and Sharing Center. Troubleshooting doesn't help and returns nothing. Network and sharing Center is suspended until the problem resolves. in fact, some programs won't load until it the problem goes away like internet explore, network and sharing virtually Center almost everything what has to do with the network and also other programs that require a little more resources e.g. cakewalk Sonar. In addition, other startup programs and services such as Dell touch pad, magic disk, PDA. NEt don't start until after the problem goes away. What else... the kicker is that while the issue is to present the networks I connect to automatically are in fact very well and I have internet, even though the network is still initializing. what I mean is that if I start my portable firefox and launch (cannot use IE because he hangs up) I can go online and the serf of the web.

  Well, I am at a loss and don't know what to do next, except to format and clean install. However, people who did it until the problem was which leads me to believe that this is one of the windows updates may be.

  If someone knows how to fix this problem or can give a kind of constructive contribution, I'm all ears.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Kosmosis,

  I had the same problem, and after fishing trawl through the web to find answers, this is the most reliable solution that I found. At the very least, it will help to determine where the problem is.

  (1) reboot your computer.

  (2) go to Run--> services.msc

  (3) to sort the list by status (click the heading)

  (4) see those blocked at the 'boot '? These are your incriminated objects.

  Apparently, Windows has problems initializing services, and until he solves, or give up, he can't go the rest of the startup procedure. Different people get stuck on different things. For me, it was the 'Server' service as jams it for 20 minutes or more.

  You have 2 options:

  Right click 1)--> properties and change the Startup Type to "automatic (Delayed). This requires to load later, that hopefully allows all the rest at the end of initialization so that you can use the computer first.

  (2) read the Description of the service and see if you can find whats causing it to get stuck. In my case, 'Server' rule of network discovery, file sharing and printing. I realized that I UNPLUGGED a NAS from Buffalo, who worked as a print server as well. My windows was blocked to find a printer on a network that was no longer available. Remove the printer from devices solved the problem.

  If all else fails, you can always try to disable the service. This is probably not the best reccomendation, like its there for a reason, but it might help you to troubleshoot.

• Portege R500 stops automatically

  Are there patches?

• Portege R500 - network Constant interruptions

  I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP (SP3 now, but same problem with SP2 and same problem before and after all reinstall them), and the network continues to interrupt. It's desperately irritating, because I work a lot of ssh connections, and almost every time the connection breaks I lose some work. The best of cases, it's that I have to log in again and continue where I was.

  This happens regardless of whether I use WIFI or wired network, and sometimes little matter where I am - home, office, coffee internet, that, is not my connection. The network is interrupted every 15-30 minutes, and sometimes as I type or loading a page, while other times it seems just to occur. It is usually easy to tell when it happens, because all the ssh connections instantly hang, all my messenger connections are broken and Outlook complains that he has lost the connection to the Exchange Server. The connections Outlook and messenger do not realize anything is wrong before the connection started actually working again, which has probably something to do with TCP or ICMP messages finally get through, but it's really strange that TCP is not only address the problem transparently - the physical connection is never interrupted for long.

  I guess that it probably has something to do with energy saving, but I have been unable to resolve in setting energy saving settings. Also, I have the same problem, regardless of the question of whether the laptop is powered.

  (Probably?) it is not a hardware failure, because I don't have the same problem in Ubuntu Linux and memtest does not report the errors of memory. (Speaking of which, is there a memory testing tool or self test tool integrated with this laptop?).

  Any suggestion would be appreciated. I tried calling the number of local support twice, but it didn't help much to get there.

  Thanks a lot for this great info

• Portege R500-S5001X will not start

  My Portege R500 arrested last night when displaying "my pictures" and I was not able to do restart upward.

  I removed the battery and turn the direct power, but when I power on I get the Toshiba with "Intel" page in the lower right and five icons feature lower downtown.

  It will not boot to Windows, I know I should know, but I "think" it works under XP.

  I have no recovery disks, he passed to us my father in law a few years ago and no supported drives has come that I can find.

  Can someone help please!

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Can you please verify certain things?

  You can start in safe mode? After you have powered on the notebook press key F8 to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and select mode.

  If you cannot access the t Windows Advanced Boot menu, you must check the BIOS if the HARD drive is recognized correctly.

• No driver controller network for Portege R500 (Windows XP)

  Hello

  I don't understand why Toshiba does not have the drivers needed to make a new Portege R500 WLAN works. I have absolutely no ability to wireless networking, as if the switch is off, and I have a yellow question mark in Device Manager of Windows ("other devices", "Network controller"). Windows can't find a driver on the restoration of two CDs and trying to install all of http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads doesn't help either.

  Someone manages to find the drivers to fix this 'Network controller' for a R500 Windows XP? Maybe that my device has a hardware defect, because I can't believe this WLAN for XP support is not provided, out of the box or at least by downloading files on the Toshiba support site

  Thank you
  Olivier

  Hello

  It is strange for me to read your ad one thing. Can you explain what you mean with: Windows can't find a driver on the restoration of two CDs.?

  As much I know restore CD/DVD is not a kind of collection driver but the recovery image that you can use to clean operating system installation. Can you please tell me what restoration (recovery) CD you have? Are two of them for an operating system, or you have one for Vista and one for Windows XP Home edition.

  I checked Toshiba's support page and it has a WLAN driver version 11.5.0.32 / 9.0.4.37. Download and unzip the driver files and before you start installing check readme.txt file first.

  Moreover, for the installation of Windows XP Home edition please use the Instructions of facilities document and follow order listed facilities.

• Portege R500 does not start from the XP CD

  My basic problem is the following - I have a Portege r500 with Vista on it. I'm moving from Vista to XP Pro, but when I put a bootable XP installation CD in the drive, it turns, looking around for awhile and then I get a blank screen with a cursor blinking on it.

  Now, I've done this before, so I know that something is supposed to happen, but nothing don't. And I tried 3 well-known installation CD, is not a problem of CD. Do I need some update BIOS/firmware to boot from the CD on this thing? Or am I missing something?

  Help!

  Thank you.

  Often the Portege R500 should be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive and should begin the procedure of installation of the CD Win XP SP2 installation.

  But it is a tricky thing.
  The Portege R500 needs an Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM). This iMSM is necessary to recognize the HARD drive and install Win Xp on the HARD drive.

  I recommend you and create a new CD of Win XP starting with software called nLite to integrate the SP2 of Microsoft and Intel Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM) in Win XP.

  You can then use this CD for installation.

  The Portege R500 has recently begun does not start. Initially there not some time later, frequently. By chance, I discovered that if I left alone for a minute or two, he will continue to start. That and the noise coming from the optical driver, made me suspect the problem was not with the HARD drive, as I feared at first, but with the optical driver.

  I read in the thread below that other people had this problem. MrBear mentions * I pulled it out again and pushed on the Ribbon connecting the CD-ROM to make sure they were safe. Turned on again and he pulled up without problem! *

  Could someone clarify in what ribbons must be treated? Only those who are visible by opening the drive? Or it is necessary to open the notebook?

  Furthermore, if I booted into Windows, it stopped again, for a minute or two, while Windows is loading. With Ubuntu, there is no such problem. Perhaps Windows tries to communicate with the optical driver for some reason any.

  Tnaks for any help!

  Hello!

  Is your laptop still under warranty? If so I put t understand why you try to solve the problem by yourself. Go to the nearest EPA and ask a technician for help. These guys are very useful and they have the most experience on laptop repairs.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:

  And the problem with Windows, it is difficult to tell why Windows stops for a minute. Maybe it s a software problem so disable all programs that you start n t need in msconfig.

  Good bye
