Re: Satellite U400 - is a graphics card required to play the DVD?

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite U400, who shared with the CPU graphics, not a dedicated graphics card. The laptop will play DVD ok without interruption or gel? I guess passes with DVD playback dedicated graphics card? I realize that dedicated graphics cards are good for games and needed to run some demanding games but are shared graphics more than able to play DVD movies?

Look forward to your reply,

Thank you.

Hi MARTIN & SONS,

Graphics card is required to start properly, but for this laptop and play DVD it makes no difference if you have a chip that is integrated or not. That's only important if you play 3D games because they need a lot of performance.

Anyway, you can watch DVDs ;)

    The error is obvious; the game can not start and run due to the graphic driver.

  • Satellite U400-112 - new graphics driver (Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset)

    Hello
    I found the new driver for the Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset (driver 15.11.3.1576) on the website of intel, but I can't install it because it's not original Toshiba.
    I'm doing this because we're on the website of toshiba is pilot about a year.

    Does anyone have an idea how to install the latest driver for my laptop Satellite U400-112?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Generally, you can install the drivers Toshiba not only at your own risk.
    So if something will go wrong because of drivers Toshiba not then your warranty does not cover this.
    So this was a brief info about drivers not Toshiba.

    Now how do I install the driver;
    You can do so from the Device Manager. Go to the Device Manager. Choose the graphics card and to update the driver. Then a new window should open. Then, choose the Advanced installation procedure. Then choose don't search. I will choose the driver. Then point to the new Intel driver downloaded and applied.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - update graphic card and CPU

    I have a Satellite Pro P300 and I was wondering if the CPU or the graphics card can be improved?

    I really like my laptop, but an upgrade is imminent and before I take the plunge I just want to see if it is all options other than a new laptop.

    Hello

    Processor and graphics card update is not supported and there is no list with compatible processors. If everything is on your own risk. In the worst case a new processor will not be recognized from the motherboard or BIOS, probably you need a new module of cooling too so I wouldn t this

    In addition, the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

    Hello

    > Have a look online seems to indicate that any upgrade would be difficult on most laptops, if not impossible.
    It's true!
    Upgrading the graphics card is not possible, the GPU is fixed (welded) on the motherboard and it s not possible to remove it in addition the motherboard and the BIOS would not support any other graphics chips.

    Theoretically, you can pass the GPU if it is not integrated. However, Toshiba does not approve the Cpu/gpu upgrade:

    Anyway, if you decide to update, contact center service before and ask them about Gpu compatibility.

  • What does that mean? -This problem occurred because your graphics card does not support the required version of DirectX. This version of Windows requires a DirectX 9.0 compatible video card or newer.

    I tried viewing a presentation power point and got to page 2 and my computer crashed.  Thought on... what he did previously trying to display a PPP file, but I thought that it was not my computer to the actual file.  now I have my doubts and also this time an error message came that said... This problem occurred because your graphics card does not support the required version of DirectX. This version of Windows requires a DirectX 9.0 compatible video card or newer.  can someone tell me what I should do next?

    You left out which version of DirectX has been shown.

    As far as I know, your Intel 945GM should support DirectX 9 and because you have XP sp3, you must have at least DirectX 9 installed.

    I met the following, but it shouldn't apply to Powerpoint:

    Some such as the Intel 945 GM Intel video cards have a design limitation which may cause problems when you try to run the Source Engine games. 3D graphics kernel does not support transformation of material, light and the vertex shader to similar technologies, which is an important part of the pipeline of 3D acceleration. Instead, this functionality is emulated in software that can reduce the compatibility and performance with 3D games.

    I don't have a solution for you (assuming that DXDIAG, in fact, reports to have DirectX 9 or higher).  You can see if you install a new driver support, but if it were me, I would be first contact Acer technical support or ask your question in another forum as one of the following conditions:

    Intel graphics Forum: http://communities.intel.com/community/tech/graphics
    Forum PowerPoint: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/powerpoint (select the corresponding forum for your version of Powerpoint).  Include the results of DxDiag, including the version of DirectX.  If there is something unusual about the image that causes the crash, include this info as well.

    Normally, for notebook/laptop computer, it is better to get the drivers of the mfr of computer rather than the manufacturer of the device.

    Acer drivers for your computer are here: http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=535 (you want the Intel VGA for XP driver)

    Intel has a newer driver: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Internet+Devices&ProductLine=Netbooks&ProductProduct=Mobile+Intel%C2%AE+945GM+Express+Chipset+Family

  • Satellite L670-12J - external graphics card?

    Hello

    I recently asked a question on a grpahics card upgarde on my laptop which is a L670-12J

    The answer is, but I was wonderin' is it possible to add external graphics on this laptop?

    Hi JWG1234,

    I put t know if an external graphics card will work, but the fact is that the monitor internal is already taken by internal graphics card.

    I think that this external card works with external monitor only, in my opinion it not very useful.

    Why do you need a new graphics card? If you need it for games that I recommend the purchase of a laptop Qosmio. They are perfect for multimedia games and especially 3D. :)

    Hi Lyle,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem your graphics card does not support the Aero themes. If you experience a problem then you need to update the drivers.

    Drivers are updated occasionally. Windows can update automatically, or you can install the drivers updated yourself. It is important for you to have confidence in the updated drivers that you install. Windows warns you if it detects a suspicious or dangerous driver, you should not install.

    Try to update the drivers from the link provided below and see if it helps you to solve the problem.

  • I get the error message "a license is required to play the selected song or video. However, a license for this file is not found, has expired or has been altered"while trying to play a downloaded song

    Original title: Media Player

    Yesterday, I downloaded a song.  Now my Windows Media Player will not play anything.

    I get the same room whenever I try to start each song in my library:

    Media usage rights acquisition

    wmasf.MusicNet.com

    A license is required to play the selected song or video.  However, a license for this file is not found, has expired or has been altered.  To obtain a license for this content, please visit the website or open the software application in which the file was uploaded originally.  You need to connect or buy the song or the video.

    I ran several diagnostic, and remedial programs, but nothing worked to get media player to work (without getting this popup Media Player and stop).

    It seems to be a kind of malware that has damaged something in my windows media player.  When I put "wmasf.musicnet.com" in the address line on explore, I get only the same message as the pop-up.

    Anyone know how I can fix the media player and get rid of this problem?

  • Are on the Satellite DirectX 9 compatible graphics cards?

    As far as I know each laptop with Windows XP Home edition is preinstalled with DirectX9. Video editing is generally not a problem, and you can do with each unit. In my opinion important is how the unit is powerful because of the procedure of decoding complex if you want to create own DVD.
