• Tecra M5 - Toshiba Power Saver did not do his job properly

  Hello

  After looking for a tool to silence my Tecra M5 awhile, I found an apparently nice application called Toshiba Power Saver. Unfortunately this tool doesn't seem to work properly. I played with the [slider cooling method | http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8008/powersaver.jpg] (click to see a picture) and here's how it works.

  The cooling method can be set to one of four options: battery optimized Performance, maximum Performance and cooling optimized, where one is supposed to be the quietest, and those of other more noisy.

  Assume that the cpu fan spins at high speed at the start and I do not have anything on my laptop. I move the cursor to the battery optimized setting, click on apply and the fan (instantly) slows down (yay!). Then I need to do something about hunger for a while and finally the fan turns up the noisy power level. I then doing nothing of the brand-new, but the fan is like that * ever *. The processor is as cold as ice, the air is blown could freeze the fingers, but the fan spins like crazy to wake up my neighbours on the road.

  I'm really sure that the cpu is cool? Yes. Why?
  Because when I move the slider for Performance affecting now and click on apply the fan slows down (right) and remains like that until I start working on something new. Then I stop doing what I was doing and the continuous spinning fan * ever * once again.

  So I change the method of cooling for battery optimized setting back again once, click on apply and the fan slows down... and so on and so forth, stuck in a vicious circle.

  The key to success here is keep pressing the button apply, which the Power Saver application should do from time to time and not me and not forgetting what it is here for.

  What is the problem with this app? Is there a fix available (or alternative)?
  The version I have is 7.11 and runs on XP Pro SP3.

  Hello

  What about your ad here?

  TOSHIBA Power saver is tool Toshiba use for years and it is preinstalled on 98% of all models of Toshiba laptops. So, in my opinion, this tool is certainly one of the best and most effective tool designed by Toshiba.

  Over the last 10 years, I have worked with many Toshiba laptops and I used this tool on each laptop to optimize my work. Mix between the good performance of the processor and method of cooling level offers enough power for each working day and with a low level in the method of cooling laptop runs pretty quiet.

  Maybe stupid sounds now, but I have noticed that the Portege notebooks are, perhaps, more sensitive and using tool electric saver you cannot have the same effect as on certain portable Satellite and Tecra.

  I do not think that this tool doesn't work properly on your Portege but Portege laptops have a specific design and material may reach a higher temperature faster than on the other laptop models.
  Portege laptops have excellent and powerful material packed in a box of small notebook.
  Sometimes laptop runs quiet and if you just connect the USB mouse the cooling fan starts to run strong enough. A small business can speed up physical activity and if temperature sensors have noticed a higher temperature for a degree C only, the fan control mechanism get information starts to cool the fan turns.

  It is really not easy to tell if there is something wrong or right. My personal opinion is that everything is OK. You can try to talk with the service of Toshiba. Call them and ask for explanations. They should have enough experience with this stuff.

  In any case, good luck!

• Code Toshiba Power Saver Fatal Error 0x51A Tecra M9

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the Toshiba power saver utility?
  Please do it!

  I had a similar problem of Eve on my laptop satellite.
  I finally solved this problem by reinstalling the energy saving and the utility of Modules common Toshiba.
  The common modules are required to run other programs from Toshiba as for example energy saving.

  Just another clue; especially this program error appears because of a corrupted registry.
  You can use the freeware like CCleaner to clean the registry entries.

• Problem with Toshiba Power Saver Tecra S1

  Hello

  I have problem with Toshiba Power Saver (GST).
  I installed SP2 on my WinXP Pro, and after this operation, all works well. After a few days GST on icon disappear from the task bar. When I open the Console from Toshiba, then GST I can see only incomlete standard dialog box. There is no configuration icons, but initially were, and I set all the settings. Now, there are 4 black boxes (2 small as a small icon) and 2 large as icon bigest at the bottom and a large black on the right.
  I try to reinstal GST, but it had no effect.

  Can someone help me

  Alex

  Hello Alex

  I have never seen anything like it. There is obviously some problems that doesn t allow the graphic illustration of the ATP. The first step is always reinstalling the software. I don't know what you need to do exactly. In my opinion, you should try to remove the GST and SP2. Install SP2 again and after this GST.

  If there is not the worst success solutions are preinstall the device using the recovery CD.

• Utility TOSHIBA Power Saver for Satellite L40 - 17R

  Hi all...

  Firstly, thank you for the answer to my previous question, which got much help. I have another question. I had a laptop Tecra A4 before that ships with Toshiba Power Saver utility that can control the brightness and the different profiles of power for Windows. I now L40 - 17R computer laptop, which I cannot find the same utility for?

  Can someone tell me if there is a tool for the management of power supply for model L40 - 17R profiles, and where can I download it?

  Hello

  As you know for Toshiba WXP gave Toshiba Power Saver utility, but for Vista, this tool does not exist in the same format. Many functions now is in the Vista power settings. Utility TOSHIBA Power Saver is also there but just with several options.

  You can find it if you open the power options > change plan settings > change advanced power settings. You will find Toshiba Power Saver Settings V8.02.00.

• Re: Toshiba Power Saver fatal error. Code 0 x 0

  Hi all

  I recently received this new notebook Tecra M10 (model PTMB0A - 00M 001) replace my laptop to existing business. It came loaded with Windows XP and built by the standard portable computer generation.

  It works fine except that at startup I get the error message "a fatal error has occurred. The program will end. "Code: 0x0.

  I did some research and I think that the original version may have been compromised, because there aren't has no files in the directory C:\Program Toshiba Saver except for a TPSTrace.log that has this message inside: "a fatal error has occurred. The program will end. "Code: 0x0 rental: TPwrSave.cpp (140). The Power Saver software claims to be v7.11.00.

  I downloaded the latest version 7.11.10 (for XP) and when you try to install, the software asks you if it can uninstall the existing version and as it tries, the fatal error code: 0 x 0 occurs which always uninstall, and I suppose that reinstall it. It seems a pity to restore from CD lose all data and other software that is very good because of this software pooey to save energy. Given the original installation was probably standard, there is no guarantee that even if I do a system restore on CD the same problem not re - manifests.

  Is there a way I can do XP think software is deleted (it seems to be absent physically, but XP think it is present) by forcing an uninstall. I can then try to reinstall it to see if I can do better than what it was when it was delivered to me. Otherwise, I'd be more than happy to just work without it, for the trouble it causes.

  Thanks in advance.

  Raymond

  You must delete it from the registry.

  Try CCleaner first, it may be able to remove the bad registry for you keys. (google for "CCleaner")

  Otherwise, run Regedit, and then search for "to sleep". Make sure that you delete, in order to ensure the results refer to Toshiba Power Saver.

  PS. back up the registry first. You can do this by creating a Restore Point in Windows. (Panel of-> system)

• TOSHIBA Power Saver for Qosmio F50?

  I am owner of a Qosmio F50-108 and I can't seem to find Power Saver utility from TOSHIBA.

  What is the same thing that the utility options of power on the control panel? I've seen screenshots of power saver utility from Toshiba which is supposed to be delivered pre-installed on their laptops, but the one I saw was on a Qosmio G10.

  The series F50 there as well? If Yes, where can I find it?

  Hello!

  As far as I know that the Qosmio F50 comes with Windows Vista and not XP.

  TOSHIBA Power Saver is only available for Windows XP because Vista has the same functions as energy savings. The energy saving features are now an integral part of Vista.

  I've created an interesting article here in the forum for you:

• TOSHIBA Power Saver replaceable by SpeedSwitchXP?

  Hi people,

  as I've seen here in the forums a lot of users of Toshiba laptops has the problem of a noisy and often fan running. The Toshiba Power Saver 1.27.2.1 installed on my satellite M30X-167 seems to not have the feature of switching on the CPU to load dynamic processor.

  There SpeedswitchXP - CPU frequency for mobile control Windows XP on http://www.diefer.de/speedswitchxp/index.html

  Does anyone of you have a positive experience with the help of other register controls as the original from Toshiba?
  Doing dynamic CPU speed control significantly reduced the activities of fan?

  Best regards and greetings from the Germany
  Joerg

  Hi Joerg

  I had already installed on my Tecra M1. It worked fine, but I n t notice a big difference. Can you please tell me what laptop do you have?

  In my opinion, you can try to install it. On my unit SpeedSwitch works properly without any problem, but AFAIK the tools as it works well on laptop computer desktop map mother don t allow this tool may have information on the temperature or things like that.

  As I said you can try it.

• Fatal error of TOSHIBA Power Saver 0x51A on Satellite M115-S3094

  Hello

  By the subject, that's the problem. Unfortunately, my computer which is Toshiba M115-S3094 has just recently a fatal error with the Toshiba Power Saver program like 3 days ago. The Toshiba Power Saver not only does not want to work, but it is even more present in the taskbar. First, I went to the properties to be able to restore the program, but nothing helped.

  Then I tried to uninstall and then reinstall the program, and he always gave me the same problem with the error: the program ends. Error fatal 0x51A. Right now, my laptop does not on the mode of power supply Toshiba but on common Windows system, such as the presentation or the laptop.

  So I need help to restore the Toshiba Power Saver. I run Toshiba M115-S3094 with Windows Media Center Edition.

  Hello

  Satellite M115 seems to be a Toshiba laptop because of the 5 at the end of the number.
  In this case, you must use the Toshiba on the Toshiba site energy saving us. Did you?

  Maybe you used the right utility electricity saver, so possibly that some registry or system files keys are damage in this case install the new OS for the Toshiba Recovery CD would be desirable.

• Portege R500: Impossible to install XP in Toshiba Power saver

  Hello

  I have a protégé R500 PPR50E which had Vista on it, but now has XP on it.

  I installed all drivers etc for the laptop and everything works fine except that I can't get the toshiba power manager to install.
  Whenever it installs programs it shows as 0.00 mb and installation when you click to open the control panel in the Add box, or move the section it says "a fatal error has occurred. This program will be terminated - code 0 x 0 - and then if I try to uninstall it to try a reinstall it says: "1628 - could not complete the installation.

  Any ideas anyone?
  I downloaded the correct driver of course - I tried a redownload and it made no difference.

  Also - I may pluching at straws but in the Bios before I made the construction - I turn the controller as opposed to ACHI ACHI compability mode - don't know if it could have an impact on it? -If I turn that on XP blue screens because I never installed the driver in the windows install (f6 prompt)

  Hello

  I believe that you are unable to install the Toshiba power saver.

  We should focus on this error message:
  * 1628 - cannot complete installation *.

  Usually, this message may appear when installing any software that uses the InstallShield Setup program. According to InstallShield, this is a general error message indicating that the application has not been installed successfully.

• Satellite M60: How to uninstall Toshiba Power Saver

  Anyone know how to uninstall the Toshiba Power Saver driver manually (so that should not be able to perform a clean installation of Windows)? There is no automated uninstall for the GST driver (should not be confused with the Toshiba Power Saver that can be uninstalled without problem).
  Note: the recovery CD is not an option here, because the pilot of the GST is included.

  I want to do this to check if this is the thing that messes the keyboard or not (see posts on M60 keyboard problem). I just wanted to check on a new Sat P100 which has a similar keyboard, but guess what... the GST is not enclosed with it.

  You guessed it, the keyboard problem has not resolved the Toshiba service representative.

  Hi Sammo

  Unfortunately I have no solution, how to remove the GST driver but it will be interesting to know how it works after installing the full version of Microsoft WXP. If you do a few tests please let us know.

• Cannot wake up afer screen turned off by Power Saver on Tecra M5

  Tecra M5; XP SP2.
  Disabled screen saver.
  Toshiba power saver set to turn off the monitor after 10 minutes.

  Once off, I can't get the monitor to turn back.
  I tried different combinations of keys fn and function, but nothing helped.

  Only solution seems to be to send Hibernate (off button is set to hibernate).
  Screen comes on to say hibernation and works fine after a reboot. Not a critical but very irritating error

• Toshiba power saver won't open

  Hello

  I recently started to use a whiteboard interactive in school and every minute or so, if I don't use the computer turns itself off screen Board. Then after 5 minutes, the computer HARD drive stops and I have to press the power button again. When I go into control panel - power options I am told to close windows power options and Toshiba power save.

  Then a window opens which has tabs such as the management of food etc, but nothing is "BOLD" - all light grey options and I can not select anything. I see there that the monitor is set to turn off after 1 minute and the computer mode sleep after 5 minutes, but I can't seem to him to change anything. I tried as a user and as an administrator. Please help - other teachers in the school with the same problem - we and children driving NUTS!

  Hi Justine,.

  This behavior is quite correct for your laptop. By accessing the power management settings in the Control Panel, you open the options of Microsoft rather than the specific Toshiba. The result is a power management window which ' greys on "options when you hover the mouse over them.

  The solution is to use the Toshiba power management options that are obtained from the Console to Toshiba. There is usually a shortcut on the desktop to it, otherwise it can be launched from the start-menu > all programs.

  Here, you will be able to tailor the behavior of your laptop to your individual needs.
