  Hello

  For these special buttons, you must install the tools of Toshiba. Did you check that?

  On the Toshiba site I founded the document setup instructions for your laptop and XP. It is a list for recommended order of installation of drivers.
  This means that you will also install Toshiba common Modules, Hotkey Utility, enabling/disabling Touchpad utility, utilities, etc.

  Seems that you tried to install the drivers bad for bad notebook series.
  Satellite A100-813 belongs to the series of PSAA8E and the laptop was equipped with Wireless 3945ABG Intel and Intel Pro/100 LAN card network card.

  If both are of the Intel chips.
  Check the Toshiba pilot European page again and try reinstalling the drivers!

• TR/agent.1220467 detected as I ran that Satellite A100 PSAA2E BIOS update file

  I was about to update my BIOS Toshiba laptop Satellite A100 PSAA2E on-site official (I downloaded the update file and unpacked to run it):
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_b * ios.jsp? service = EU
  When my antivirus (Avira Antivir Personal) has detected a TR/agent.1220467

  Of course, I stopped everything, asked to remove, Avira have another full scan, it was deleted again and restarted my PC.

  I am always very careful with what I download, but as I trusted blindly the official site of Toshiba as being safe, I don't run a virus scan on the file update and stupidly flat it once it has been downloaded.
  HOW CAN TOSHIBA HAVE INFECTED FILES TO UPDATE HIS SITE? This is really unacceptable.

  And now how I will:
  1. ensure that this virus is gone for good?
  2. switch to update my BIOS knowing that it is not safe to do?

  Please help me!
  .. .and make sure that this file to update the BIOS is not infecting hundreds of other users!

  Hello

  Don t worry buddy there is no virus
  The BIOS file is safe and I guess that your virus scan recognized the file as a virus because of the similar application procedures

  First of all you should not update your BIOS if your laptop works well!

  Second, you must disable all 3 rd party applications like virus, firewall, malware, software software of scans, while the BIOS update!
  These tools can affect or interrupt the process of updating the BIOS and the laptop cannot!

  You know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and if something goes wrong during the update, then you will not be able to power the device!

• Satellite A100 - update BIOS problem with phlashnt.sys and Vista 64

  I downloaded the upgrade of BIOS (file S10V600.exe) for my Toshiba Satellite A100-437 (PSAA8). When I try to launch it I get the answer:
  "Unable to load driver.
  ... \PHLASHNT. SYS
  ...
  This driver has been blocked form load.
  Error code: 1275 "
  (I rolled points instead of less interesting part of this message.

  My system is Vista Business 64 - bit SP1.

  I turned off User Account Control (in fact it the first thing I did after installing Vista ;)).
  And just to be safe, I also tried to right click on the S10V600.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator".
  I was using the admin account.

  Nothing did. Always the same window with the above message appeared.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Concerning

  Maybe it's because you have installed Vista 64-bit?

  You may need to use XP or Vista 32 bit update of the BIOS.

• Satellite A100-369 - BIOS password was needed all of a sudden

  Hello world!
  I have a Satellite A100-369 psaare04m00dit. After a few tries to install windows 7, (sth has not worked since the restoration of DVD Toshiba) bios password was necessary.

  In fact, no password has been before and... have no idea what would be the password.
  Is there a way how can I reset the passwd for my s/n?
  I bought this laptop 4 years ago... Thank you!!!

  I use Toshiba laptop computers and, as far as I know, the BIOS password can be set only.
  BIOS password can be done via BIOS advanced or preinstalled Toshiba tools options.

  Has anyone access your laptop?

• Satellite A100 PSAA2A - BIOS recognize only 1 GB of RAM after upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100 PSAA2A. RAM is up to 2GB (2 slots).
  Now, I have 256MB + 512 MB (Kingston KVR533D2/S4/512) total = 768 MB (Samsung 256 MB DDRII 533FSB).
  It works well

  I want to improve my RAM. I've got Kingston KTT533D2 / 1 G
  I have 512 MB + 1024 MB = 1.5 GB

  I removed 256 MB to 1 GB. Now she has 512 MB and 1024 MB
  But BIOS recognizes only 1 GB (Windows XP as well). I changed my slot machines, a different combination made - always 1 GB (not 1, 5 GB)

  I checked each memory separately 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024MB - works well, but combination of combination and 512 MB + 1024 MB 256 MB + 1024 MB do not work.

  I did a BIOS upgrade and set version 2.3

  Any ideas guys?

  Thank you.

  I m not sure but I think the problem are two different modules. They come from different manufacturers have different abilities.

  If you want to, or more than 1 GB RAM, use should use the same modules. At a time when prices are cheap.

  But you can also test the RAM with special tools like Memtest86:

• Satellite A100-188: BIOS downgrade - how?

  Hello

  first sorry for my bad English.
  I have to update my bios from version 1.3 to 2.0. After that I have problems when I start the system.
  toshibe says it's not possible to downgrade. in this forum I read that it is possible.
  I read that in an Italian forum can I find help, but I Don t understand the Italian language.
  the user in this forum 'alter_schwede' and 'fizzban' can help me. (in German).

  When one of these 2 users read that please contact me. ICQ: 131260081
  or by e-mail [email protected]

  Hello

  First of all, to my knowledge the BIOS downgrade is not possible.
  Secondly, on the Toshiba page, I found only the latest BIOS (not the older versions).

  In addition, on the Toshiba driver page, you will find 3 different models of Satellite A100.
  AFAIK the A100-188 is a unit of PSAA9E.
  Therefore, it is important that you used good BIOS and that it have updated with the proper procedure.
  Bad BIOS and bad upgrade procedure may damage the motherboard or some problems with the functionality of the device.

  I guess you used the wrong BIOS. In this case, you will need to contact the ASP from Toshiba for the return of the BIOS.
  You might try updating again with the good BIOS.

• Satellite P100 - 324 BIOS reports less than real memory installed, why?

  I have a P100-324 Satellite which I installed 4 GB of memory.
  Memory is a Kingston KVR667D2S5 / 2G, so I installed 2 of them.
  I've updated the BIOS, but still when I press F2 to access the configuration
  I find that the less than 4 GB installed memory. It makes account
  3070 MB. When using windows the systeminfo program reports 4096 MB RAM.
  However, System properties, it shows 3.0 GB and that is because
  It is 32-bit windows xp mce. I ran live fedora 7 x 64 and he reports only 3 GB as the bios.
  Why? Is there a way to fix that.

• Satellite A100-906 - BIOS see 4 GB of RAM but BONE only 3 GB

  The [Manual: 20569 http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&PRODUCT_ID=1 & DISC_MODEL = 1] says that the laptop supports 4 gigabytes of memory and displays the BIOS, but the (x86_64) operating system sees only 3 gigabytes.

  ~ $ cat/proc/meminfo

  ~ $ uname - a

  Than me?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Have you checked this using Windows 64 bit OS?
  Fact is that the BIOS recognized the full 4 GB of RAM. The chipset seems to support the 4 GB RAM as well.
  If the BONE is the last reason why all of the 4 GB are not recognized.

• Satellite A100-691 - BIOS Version 1.70 - encryption HD

  Hello!

  I wondered about the function to protect the hard drive in the bios with a password. What's another ' If-password-correct-go-on-booting"-function or he really to encrypt the hard drive and protects me from data theft, even when the hard drive is being adapted to another laptop, which does not have the password?

  Best regards

  Hello

  BIOS password is not the same as the HARD drive password. HARD drive password is saved directly on HARD drive and there is no chance to do something without this password. Password BIOS will block the use of the laptop and no one will be able to boot your laptop, but on this way, the content of the HARD drive is not 100% sure.

• What's new in the aviable for Satellite A100-PSAA9 Bios?

  I canoe found a chanlog :(

  Hey Bela

  What you're looking for? You need information about the new version of BIOS or what?
  Currently, you can find a newer version of the BIOS on Toshiba page.
  I checked the site and it seems that the 5.10 version was published on 25/01/07 and operating system independent.
  Unfortunately, you won't find information about the change of the new version of the BIOS.
  It seems European Toshiba site doesn't provide details.
