Re: Satellite A300 - 20 - p "GetProfString is down", if I install VAP

I install my recovery disks and the mute button does not work

And I saw the same problem in some topics here, and I have the soluition setps you give, but when I run the installer for VAP get a message 'GetProfString failed '.

Please help me

To be honest, I think you have misunderstood something. I have Satellite A300 too and I can confirm that after clean install of OS this mute button isn't here for the mute option, but for lighting ON / OFF.

For silent use FN + ESC key combination. Compare also the symbols on the illuminance and ESC key and you will see that they are not the same. On the light button, it is symbol of light and ESC you will see the symbol of speakers.

Toggle the mute option FN + ESC key combination?

  • Satellite A300 think button is held down and starts (long)

    Hey sorry it's long, but I'd really like some help,

    OK, so I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem...

    I was on my Satellite A300 (just over a year) last night playing Left 4 Dead 2 demo using stream network and everything suddenly co-op Online camera Assistant window opens minamising Left 4 Dead 2.

    I found it strange because I had closed the sidebar of popup for Camera Wizard at startup so that there would be no popup and do exactly what he did...

    Then after be confused I just clicked on Left 4 Dead 2 and thought 'I'll deal with that in a sec... When Left 4 Dead 2 she maximized again, (it took a few moments where there is a black screen and about 1 second of audio loopback), I couldn't play physically, but I could watch the game in a special mode that allows to pause and let HAVE succeed for a while. Also the game in chat window has increased.

    I was at the first try just click the button disable control DO but the game wouldn't answer. Then section entered the window of my cat began to fill with ' black so I tried to get rid of them. All I could do was culminating with my mouse, then more ' zaeza them would replace.

    After trying for a while and Ctrl + Alt + Del Alt + F4 with no response except for the ' black poor computer must be stretched with Left 4 Dead, I decided open and Stream, Illistratror and the camera open in the background then I pressed the power button (set to stop on my computer) and waited...

    Left 4 Dead 2 closed, as camera Assistant, I think... and then it froze little so I just held down the power button (sorry, I know it probably wasn't the best move) and my laptop is off...

    Well, when I tried to turn it back on the screen black "Toshiba Leading Innovation" appears along with the small footer explaining what to do F2 and F12. After that, the screen switches to the small blinking text bar thing (sorry I dunno what it's called...) but the bar flashes and stays there for about 4-5 seconds and then blinks and the new, although it seems slightly duller in color) and then only once (from the computer even if the headphones are plugged) and Yes... I need to disable...

    Remembering of the ' Melissa I assumed that the computer was not happy that 'u' button was held down at startup so keep in mind that the fron keys are actually removable, I (very carefully) removed the front "u". Everything looked "normal" under... (I compared it to the key 'y') and so he presses a few times and re-places of the façade. On count it... Same thing happened...

    I then tried to take out the battery and then put it in to see if this would help... Again, the tone has played... I have unplugged my iPod, took on the CD and removed the memory card to see if it would help... It didn't unfortunately.

    So next I tried to turn on the whist of the computer by pressing the 3 keys (I thought it might cancel the 'u' key) key maintained abd "b + n + m". The first time I did this boot manager Windows open instead of the ring. I have Windows Vista so when I tried to continue pressing "enter" nothing happened... Then I turned off the computer and tried again (this time with q + w + e as I thought maybe hold b + m starts Boot Manager). This Windows error recovery time is displayed with the options; Safe mode, Mode safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt Mode and start Windows normally. Yet once Enter would not work... And this is my time so far...

    Please help if you can >: I'm afraid if I take on a Japanese person Compute they will wipe everything...

    Thank you

    (again, I'm sorry this is so long but I thought people might wan't details...)

    Hello

    You can try to start windows in safe mode by pressing the F8 key and then choose Safe mode.
    Then windows should start only using certain necessary processes
    If the history is related to the issue of software then you should be able to start safe mode

  • Satellite A300 screen keeps jumping up down

    Hello

    What is on my screen continues to jump up and down, ideas, is it a problem with the video card in Satellite A300?

    What part of the screen do you mean exactly?

    Do you mean the mouse cursor or the entire screen?

    I m not very well that this could cause this problem but maybe that there s a problem driver so the first step, you should try to update the display/graphic driver.

    In addition, you can check if the same question would be visible on the external monitor.

  • Satellite A300 - after the BIOS update I can not install two OS

    Hello everyone:

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-247 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Then I formatted it and divided the hard (320 GB) into 6 partitions and installed Windows Vista and Windows XP on drive C to drive D after having changed the SATA controller mode in the BIOS for compatibility. The computer worked well with 2 operating systems. However, when I updated the BIOS to version 1.9, two operating systems stop working and one of them can be installed: XP can be installed when SATA controller mode is placed on compatibility and Vista can be installed only when the SATA is changed to AHCI.

    Is there is no explanation of what past? And can I install operating systems 2 together again?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that this has something to do with the BIOS update. I think that after the BIOS update HARD drive mode has been changed from AHCI to compatibility and therefore the OS didn't start.

    Anyway, in compatibility mode you can install Vista and XP without the SATA drivers. This should t be a problem.

    But do you know the difference between compatibility and AHCI? AHCI mode is faster and therefore I would recommend this mode.
    Like you said Vista you can already install in AHCI mode and for XP, you need Intel Storage Manager. This package includes the SATA drivers you need and here is a step by step guide to use these drivers:

    Last but not least, you can install 2 OS. You can do what you want! ;)

  • Satellite A300 - give up WIFI connection

    I recently bought a Satellite A300, but unfortunately it keeps down the internet WIFI connection while surfing the net.
    It's only recently, in the last 2 weeks and I did not install new software that can do this.

    I have a connection by wireless modem netgear aged 12 months which is connected to my main computer (wireless).
    I use a secure connection which needs a wep key and is compatible with Windows Vista.

    I also use this connection for my laptop from a different manufacture that I have no problem with. I also have Wifi on Wii and Xbox so I was wondering if there could be interference. Xbox Cup connection also.
    I have only 2 related both objects and they are not even in the same place or even near each other...

    When I diagnose the problem it says weak signal, but the intensity of the signal on the computer shows excellent.
    If I plug the ethernet cable then everything works fine.

    Very puzzled as to why this happens, having run checks virus on computers and nothing.
    Uninstalling the connectivity doctor, still no joy.
    All that it suggest that there is problem ISP but given that I can connect to my other laptop and desktop PC and no problems so do not know if it is...

    Can someone help, I'm not very technical and am now very mentally drained

    Thank you

    Hello!

    First of all, you must update your WLAN driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    He recommended to disable some options that could have an impact on the energy-saving WLAN functionality.
    In your case I would deactivate the energy saving WLAN and maybe this document option is useful for you

  • Re: Two questions on Satellite A300 and Win7 32 bit

    Hello

    I have a satellite A300 PSAJ4E windows 7 32 bit.
    I installed all the drivers to Toshiba support, but I have 2 problems.
    the first is that sometimes my screan does not open while the laptop is open and functioning. I know that his work because when I plug another screen his everything is ok.
    the other problem is that I have an unknown device (ACPI\TOS6205)

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you

    > the first is that sometimes my screan does not open while the laptop is open and functioning properly
    It is still problematic to discuss problems that sometimes occur. When this happens you can see Toshiba welcome screen or hear sounds of windows?
    > another DIF, is that I have an unknown device (ACPI\TOS6205)
    I think that you need to install the bluetooth drivers.

  • Recovering a system of vista OEM on a Satellite A300

    I already bought a Satellite A300 with vista Premium SP1. Then I installed ubuntu on my computer.
    Unfortunately now my Vista does not work. He wasn't just any CD/DVD recovery with pc.

    I've been searching to recover my system but I found nothing didn t. My system has perhaps only OEM? Then, he didn't need recovery CD/DVDs... but I don't know what I have to do...

    Please help me!

    Hello

    you have formatted the hard drive FULL? If yes then you need to get a toshiba recovery media, because there is no way if the HARD drive has been formatted to bring your Vista.

    You know that your machine has been equipped with a HARD drive recovery that is stored on a hidden partition on your hard disk drive.
    A possible recovery of HARD drive can be activated by pressing F8 before Vista starts and then choosing something like "Repair system" or similar. The recovery will completely wipe your C: drive and put on a new Vista with everything by default on the system drive.

    USUALLY, the user must create a recovery this recovery partition disk which is made by a program called "recovery disk creator. This application is already installed on all machines with a possible recovery of HARD drive and you'll get a reminder after Vista starts for the first time to create this recovery to fix it yourself in the case of a hard disk failure. Since you Didna´t created and just format everything (like ubuntu) it´s your fault and you will need to buy a new drive.

    Please refer to an ASP (certified partner) in your country and ask them to recovery.

  • Satellite A300-177: using XP - no sound a modem and

    Hello

    I have laptop that Toshiba Satellite A300-177 preinstalled with Vista. When I installed xp on it I'm unable to install the modem and audio.
    Conexant high definition SmartAudio 221
    HDAudio Soft Data FAX Modem With Smart CP

    I downloaded driver for audion with the name following (ConexantHDAudio 221_XP.zip), but when I install this driver there is an error message that no audio device is set by your system.

    Please help me to install audio

    The right question is known, for me, the installation of patches from Microsoft:
    * KB888111 and KB835221 * is the key!

    First install the two patches.

    Then restart the laptop and access the Device Manager. There you should find one or two markets PCI device with the yellow exclamation point.
    You must remove these devices and should restart the machine.

    Then the operating system should recognize a new device and should ask the driver.
    Then, you install the Realtek audio driver.

    Regarding the modem driver. Well, just check the modem drivers for another maybe series laptop, it works also.

    Hi Vilus

    During the long period of use, the cooling modules may be blocked by dust.
    This would prevent air from traffic and could lead to a higher temperature.
    I have experience with such behavior cell phone because this happened to my two different notebooks from different manufacturers.

    The cooling modules couldn t run with the best performance because of the dust and I was forced to use a jet of compressed air that has helped remove a lot of dust and debris.
    I blew air through the vents and fans and I was really surprised how much dust was hidden inside the laptop.

    In any case, after this procedure accelerated, the temperature went down and laptop didn t stopped automatically.

    Any help you can give would be great.

    Hello

    Have Hmm you tried to restore the operating system at an early stage of time?
    I think it would be the simplest solution to recover requests to remove.

    Otherwise I think you would need to reinstall the VAP.
    The pre-installed VAP should be removed first and after restarting again, you need to reinstall the VAP.
