• Satellite A500 / 01 K - Web Camera error: "couldn't start the Application.

  I have a satellite A500 / 01 K running under Windows 7 64-bit. I get an error when I try to use my webcam; "Application has failed to start because the side-by-side configuration is incorrect." I tried updating the driver through the Device Manager, and I tried redownloading and installing the application on the Toshiba site, nothing helps.

  Hi balooneybob,

  You get this error message if you want to use your webcam with webcam application or another program like Skype example?

  The webcam is listed correctly in the Device Manager?

  Before using the webcam with Skype or another messenger I recommend to close the Toshiba webcam software. You can only use the webcam with a program only at the same time.

• Satellite A500 - 14 k - HARD Drive LED indicator always flashes

  Hello

  First sorry for my bad English

  I'm french and I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 14 k (http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A500-14K/1072806)

  I have a little problem with this laptop and I don't know if anyone has a solution

  The HARD drive light flashes constantly (1 blinking per second) even in safe mode. I checked some forums and I learned he had something to do with the function of autorun cd /dvd CD/DVD recorder.

  If the autorun feature is disabled in the windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\CDRom and the key value goes from 1 to 0) the flashing disappears, but I can't access my data from CD or DVD (media are marked as empty). However, the audio CD and video DVD work except that they cannot be started automatically.

  The same thing happens if the CD/DVD writer is disabled in the control panel Device Manager: the led indicator has a normal activity.

  I would like if this problem occurs with other owners of this product and if there is a solution to use normally without this flash recorder

  Thank you

  I don't have A500 but A300 and I can't say with certainty why this and what kind of HARD drive activity is ongoing, but what you can try is to remove some pre-installed Toshiba stuff like TEMPRO or pre-installed application antivir.

  When the laptop is new days that many updates will be installed and in the background is always a certain activity. Automatic update is disabled?
  Try also to remove TEMPRO. This tool is active permanent and search for updates.
  Try to optimize the operating system preinstalled and carefully monitor if something will change. I always do after clean operating system installation.

• Satellite A500 - video/dvd player is not compatible with Windows 10

  After having recently updated of my laptop for windows 10 I discovered that the dvd player does not work. A message is displayed informing that the player is not compatible with this version of windows. A scan using Norton suggests dvd will not work because it needs to be configured.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Obviously, Toshiba DVD playback application that is preinstalled on this Satellite A500 model is not compatible with the system Windows 10.

  In this case this software will not properly work after the upgrade to win 10 and I guess you have to remove the system Win 10.

  Unfortunately, the Satellite A500 is not listed as Win 10 portable computers and so I don't think you will get an update to this software for DVD playback.

  Here is a list of models supported for upgrading to Windows 10

• My Satellite A500 is extremely slow

  Hi guys,.

  First of all my apologies if I'm not in the right sub-forum here.

  For about two weeks, my laptop (Satellite A500) is e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y s-l-o-w. Very often (not always) I get an error message after commissioning (which takes about 15 minutes) on a "JIT debugger" and click ok if you want to cancel the request or Cancel if I want to debug.

  What does all this mean? Where did it come from?

  More information:
  (-) I have not installed any new programs or anything for at least 6 months now.
  (-) Recently, it takes about 15 minutes for the laptop at the start and another 15 minutes to log on to the net (via a usb wireless modem)
  (-) I have one run a virus check (just in case ;)) and nothing was found.)
  (-) I did a "gentle formula" that I found preinstalled on the computer. Apparently, this type of format gets rid of all your mistakes without having to reinstall all your programs. This 'soft' formula has not improved the performance.
  (-) I brought up in the Task Manager to see which application causes the problem of JIT-debugger, but Task Manager area is empty. Nothing of what is running in there.

  Could someone plllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaas sssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee informed me what could happen and how I could possibly fix this problem? Your knowledge and your help would be greatly appreciated!

  Good luck everybody!

  I don't know if this will help. It should be.

  WHY NOT HAVE AIR DRAWN in THE TOP OF the PC AND GO to THROUGH A VERY SMALL REFRIGERATOR AS IN A DESKTOP GRAPHICS CARD COOLING UNIT to cool the chips?

  Regarding the PROBLEM REAL being separated for a hardware issue...

  Mine did the same (ran only run stutteringly slow s...l...w.freezes trouble... a lot of time and frustration (battery in and out) caused 3 hard disks lost (shaken baby syndrome).) Lost thousands of precious family memories and important documents.

  So... instead...

  (1) download MALWAREBYTES free version (from a trusted as Cnet site or web page of MW).

  (2) install and run.

  (3) allow to find Trojan horses that slow down your laptop (mine was 300 [and I have Norton 360 installed 2013]). Automatic adjustment.

  (4) re - start normally. Try Windows again. May or may not still be issues. Qoy TO BE SURE a certain...

  (5) start in Safe Mode (pull on the plug and the battery if you are unsure how to do this).

  (6) run Malwarebytes. Get rid of all the Trojans.

  (7) re-boot... It MAY take five or six minutes to start.

  (8) If you have Norton Antivirus or McAfee run it to check that it is nothing... you CAN get a message saying there is a conflict between her and MALWAREBYTES... He told me to uninstall Malwarebytes. So, I did. BUUUUUUUUUUT, on restart computer has had a black screen... (I couldn't even at BIOS)...

  FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES, HE PLAYED DEATH. ]

  Normally I would give 'going bonkers' a little... but I expected as well... and waited and waited... and waited...

  (9) repeat PC programs. It should be much better.

  (10) re-boot... IT CAN TAKE FIVE MINUTES... don't worry... next time it should be good if you had the same questions that this laptop had too many times.

  P. S.
  ALWAYS check if you download Flash ADOBE or a MS C++ Update update, or an update module of any site, make sure that you click Yes to anything... BUT instead, GO to the REAL SITE for these programs.
  NOTE:
  Some questionable sites, to PRETEND TO DO AN updated VERSION OF YOUR plug-in, such as ADOBE FLASH or Adobe Reader or something else... but they have a PREFIX of the name of download with ADOBE in there (or [common] update no matter what he tells you everything)... and then you secretly have a Trojan horse that will unpack a few weeks later and multiplies... and does what it is designed to do.

  Hello

  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say why this is happening. E don t know which OS you are using, which additional applications installed, things runs in the background, external devices are connected to your laptop, and how have you configured preinstalled OS.
  In your message there is no unique information that can tell us anything on your laptop if your laptop is virus-free.

  I put t really know how to start the discussion.
  Are you using the original pre-installed OS?
  Does this happen if still the same application is running?

• Satellite A500 - HDMI never knit - error don't pass the test regza

  Hi mate,

  I come from Italy and, first of all, I want to apologize for my English... ^ ^
  I'll try to explain my problem:

  Whenever I try to connect to my Pc to my TV by HDMI port "Satellite A500'... an error pops up:

  What it means?
  What can I do?

  Hello

  As I know some of the Toshiba LCD TVs supports binding Regaza.
  This feature allows you to control the device (laptop, LCD monitor, etc.) using only a single remote control.
  But this only works if all devices support the link Regaza.

  If one of the devices (LCD or laptop) doesn t supports the link Regaze then you will probably get an this error message.

  Of course, you can disable this feature as well.
  I m not very well, but you should check the Toshiba applications preinstalled on your laptop (Toshiba assist, etc.). In addition, you should consult your manual for more details

• Satellite A500-17 x - installed any camera software

  Recently bought the Satellite A500-17 x with Windows 7 pre-installed. Manual tells me under all programs-toshiba-> utilities >, there should be a web cam application.

  Unfortunately there is no such thing. Site Web from Toshiba has been of no use to me, I've been enragingly complete search forms of driver updates and bio over and over.
  So, if anyone knows how they can help me do it please

  : D

  > Toshiba sold you a laptop with no drivers, because they do not have Yes published pilots.
  I really wonder how you write such things. Usually, we are here on this forum to offer help with comments and do not write such nonsense.

  Each Toshiba laptop comes with preinstalled operating system and all the drivers, tools and utilities you need to work with your laptop.
  The specifications of your laptop, you can find HERE.

  That I can see that your laptop is the model with webcam and pre-installed Chicony Camera Assistant Software.
  By default, this software starts with Windows and you can see if you move the pointer of the mouse on the left side of display.
  If possible also check MSCONFIG Startup tab to see if the software is enabled for auto-start.

• Satellite A500 - 19 X - cannot activate Win7 installed on new SSD

  Hi guys,.

  my hard drive failed and I replaced it with a new solid state drive. I installed Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit sp1 and I used the product key I got for my old drive entered pre loaded when I bought the laptop. Unfortunately, what it won't validate. Microsoft is a key valid and contact Toshiba.
  Toshiba tell me that because she was pre loaded on my laptop will not work for my new drive.

  My laptop model is a toshiba Satellite A500-19 x help please

  Your laptop comes with Windows preinstalled, and this version has already been activated. The product key you have on the Microsoft sticker belongs to the original version of Windows and cannot be used for activation if you want to use the own version of Win. With the new laptop, you bought Windows and a valid license too.

  I don't know if you created the recovery DVDs as described in manuals s but if you use it for the installation of the OS. If you do not have this recovery DVDs that you have a problem.

  In my opinion, there are two options: either you're going to pay for the new license or you order original recovery disk ad original recovery image on your laptop.

• Satellite A500 - slower with videos on Windows 7

  Hi, I desperately need advice, I am 78 years old and going into the wall.

  My Satellite A500 / 03P was bought with preinstalled Vista and worked fine. My particular interest is the functioning and the creation of video clips from training for other seniors, like video purchased has worked, stutter free. I took the offer to upgrade to Windows 7 and bought the upgrade, things went quickly downhill since. Installing Windows 7 became crazy during the installation, I have to take the computer to a maintenance shop. He was returned with Windows 7 installed, but has been considerably slower with videos run from the hard drive stuttering, worse still, my connection Internet ADSL2 running about 1.25 m bits per second.

  After a while I got to service man and $ 200 later was provided with a dual boot hard drive, Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7. The system is practically unusable for video. I downloaded and installed all the 32 and 64-bit drivers provided by Toshiba but had to give up the 64-bit completely as unusable. I tried to install another copy of Vista Ultimate, bought for my old desktop PC, but could not get Internet to work, either directly or via the WIFI on the laptop.

  I tried to run the Toshiba on the 32-bit Windows 7, but the laptop is too slow, that even my email creeps to e-mail readere. Any advice would be most appreciated that my pension will not bear the costs of local peoples. Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.

  Concerning
  LeslieB

  Hi Leslie,.

  I m really wondering why your A500 has so many problems with Windows 7. From my own experience I can say it s really great and better than Vista OS. I use 1.5 years now and everything is working a lot on it.

  In any case, did you check if all devices are properly installed in Device Manager and if there is no yellow exclamation?
  When you watch videos, have you selected the power profile high performance in Windows?

  > Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.
  That would be an option, Yes.
  You don t have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If this isn't the case, you can get it from a provider of service authorized in your country.

• Satellite A500 Pro keeps freezing

  Help...

  I have a Satellite A500. It keeps freezing.

  Sometimes it will boot when turned on, but then as soon as I select a program to open, it freezes.
  I can't do anything. I can't control alt delete to open the Task Manager. The only thing I can do is to turn off the power.
  So when I turn it back on, it asks me to start in safe mode, I say yes, but the same thing happens.

  Sometimes it starts and you can go in outlook and check a few emails and I think it works fine, then it stops and says not responding do not. Then I go to Explorer and the same thing happens.
  I have try the Task Manager, but it will not come to the top.

  So I have to stop again. It's very frustrating.
  I have installed Norton and nothing comes to say there's a virus problem.
  I have no error message, it stops just to work.

  Help, please!

  The same happens when you start in safe mode? Test it please. Play around a bit with a few options or applications.

  Since when did you notice this behavior?
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. It will be interesting to know how your work laptop with factory so if possible to save all your data and install the new OS by using the original installation disc of recovery.

• Satellite A500 - downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hi all!
  I received the laptop Satellite A500 with preinstalled Vista, is it possible to install XP even if Toshiba doesn't have any drivers for XP?
  Thank you!

  Generally Yes, but with the drivers, may be a little more problematic.
  Please don t start with the installation of Windows XP Home edition.
  Tell us in a first time what A500 you exactly (A500-xxx).

  What we can do is check if another model of phone has the same or similar hardware configuration. Then we can use drivers of another model of laptop that you supported WXP.

• Satellite A500 - 19L - loss of a WiFi sygnal

  Hello

  After trying many solutions with and without success, I got here.

  Since 2009, I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 19L, but has the problem appear just a few weeks ago.
  Windows 7 is installed, Toshiba system recovery CD.

  Sometimes without reason, I lost my wifi connection and wifi may not be new launch (the witness about the orange button stop working). And I can't find THE solution to restart again.

  Then, as this problem appear weeks, I tested different solutions which worked sometimes but not all the time:

  -restart the computer
  -power wifi card
  -Reset toshiba card
  -power toshiba wireless card
  -system restore
  -restore the old driver

  Also, I formatted my computer once and the problem always appear...

  Recently (about 15 minutes) ago something very strange has happened, I was downloading (steamed) with the computer (WiFi) and the use of firefox. At one point, the wifi works plus as mentioned above, computer still worked but wasn't keyboard and pad "work (I was able to use the computer with my mouse)."
  Light on screen was put on low-level and fan not working not but computer was hot. Toshiba TEMPRO won't be lauch.
  Resemble toshiba applications did not work.

  So I tried different solutions from above, but nobody not exepted restart my computer allowed me to reuse of keyboard and tablet to work, but neither fan was working neither Toshiba Tempro, and wifi.

  Since I formatted my computer, I installed a clean version of windows + toshiba applications without unistalling applications.

  As this problem appear without reason, I can't find a real solution that can fix.

  Hope someone could help me.

  Sorry for my English, not native language...

  Hello

  You talk about the WiFi connection, but it would be interesting to know if the same problems using the local network.
  Have you tried this link?

  It's hard to say exactly why the problems of connection Wlan appears. There are different reasons for this. It could be the problem router Wlan or compatibility problem between the router and the wireless network card. Some routers and Wlan cards don t manage all types of encryption.
  In addition these interruptions may be related to interference and low signal.

  As I said above: you need to check if the same happens using the connection to the local network.
  Also recommend resetting the router and the parameters.
  Test WLan using different types of encryption. In addition, you can test the connection using WLan/no open. But do it only for testing purposes.

  Also turn off the TCP/IPv6 and use only TCP/IPv4 for WLan connection.
  I also recommend to renew the IP address. You can do this in console (type CMD in search to start the console) using the command IPCONFIG / renew

  I'd appreciate any help in this

  As far as I know, Toshiba offers a few changes of BIOS options and is not also a part of the BIOS updates.

  What kind of problems you have with dual boot?
  What is preinstalled on your computer? Post please some info on exact OS install.
