  Hello

  I want to say clearly that portable computers technology design is not the same as on the desktop and if you have a good experience with desktop computers, you'll know that upgrading the graphics cards is not so problematic, but on laptops, the situation is very different.

  Laptops design and construction doesn't allow such flexibility for upgrades, upgrading the graphics card is not possible.

• Shortcut keyboard Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - properties will not end

  Dear lovers of Toshiba:

  This week, we have installed three new systems of Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 (two L300-153, a L300-156) with recovery media for Windows XP since the L300-156 product (no date on the disc, only two codes: CD 5 124624 and GMR400841EN0).

  The machines are beautiful and very effective, except for one problem: when the logout or shutdown Windows XP, the program called 'The Toshiba keyboard shortcut properties' does not stop automatically and opens a dialog "end program". The user may terminate the program immediately by clicking on the button 'End now' or wait until it to expire, after which the system disconnects or terminate normally.

  We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied. (We will be definitely check this on the following system and display the result.) Install the rest updates Windows with Service Pack 3 does not resolve the problem. Not more then that uninstall Toshiba Hotkey Utility by installing the package current, freshly downloaded from the Toshiba support area.

  A colleague suggested disabling startup programs. There are two likely choices for this purpose in the startup list + of + msconfig +: * thotkey * and * TFncKy *. Disabling either of these programs allows the disappearance of problem, but the functions of the * Fn keys are lost. The key functions are also lost when uninstalling the Toshiba Hotkey Utility.

  My question is of two parts:
  # Comment this problem be solved permanently, or circumvented (other than to say the customer never disconnect & close always the cover to hibernate)?
  # If there is no solution yet, how can a bug report situate with Toshiba, so I can get them the information they need to solve this problem and establish the responsibility?
  I will continue to post new information here that I acquire until a permanent solution is reached.

  Although this problem seems trivial and 'cosmetic' it's always awkward having to provide new machines customers with such an obvious flaw. It ourselves and Toshiba look bad, especially after that we sold the idea that people avoid problems of this kind to choose a Windows XP on Vista platform.

  Thank you, Robert Phair
  Director.

  > We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied

  Problems could be caused by Win XP SP3. I've read several times that SP3 could be not entirely compatible with drivers or 3rd tools
  So I guess there is a problem of compatibility between the exe and SP3 files.
  By the way; SP3 is not completely released and updated test!

  I installed SP3 for some tests on my old non-Toshiba laptop and my work LAN card didn't so it of really possible that SP3 causes this.

  > There are two likely choices for this in the msconfig startup list: thotkey and TFncKy. Disabling either of these programs, the disappearance of the problem, but the functions of the Fn keys are lost

  It is clear that the thotkey and TFncKy files belong to applications that control the FN keys, SO if you would disable this in msconfig then buttons would not work.

  So, a solution might be a removal of SP3 System.
  In addition, you should try to clean the registry and operating system using the free tool like CCleaner.

  > Hope to get a response from an engineer from Toshiba, if there is no monitoring of this forum.
  I hope this too, but it seems that this forum is only a user forum.
  So if you want to report this behavior for laptop, contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

• Small video memory on Satellite Pro L300-165 and Windows XP

  To increase the memory on the video card?
  See what I results now:

  I have a Satellite L300 too and in my user manual, I founded the following information:

  If you have only 8 MB of VRAM at the moment because it is enough.
  If the laptop needs more VRAM, it will take more VRAM memory RAM.

• Satellite Pro L300-152 and the task bar freezing

  Hello

  The taskbar seems to freeze whenever I use my laptop. I try to click on something like the volume and it freezes, I then gives me the option to restart windows Explorer, close windows Explorer, or waiting for the program to respond. Once it has rebooted the icons for volume and Wi - Fi connection disappear from the lower right corner and are not available through any other means.

  There seems to be no consistency to this incident - it happens when programs are running or not, regardless of how many times I use the laptop either hours or minutes, and there is no delay between the taskbar being insensitive (sometimes it doesn't freeze again, sometimes it freezes just after the restart). I did virus, spyware/adware/mallware scans, clean my laptop, and it had made no difference.

  All I have this problem or knows what could be causing it and how it can be stopped? Any suggestions would be welcome thanks

  Kind regards.

• Satellite Pro L300-128 and battery life

  Hello

  I checked the specifications of this laptop but cannot find the medium-term on a full battery.
  Although this would depend on its use, but what about the generalization? Say, surfing the web, by email or word processing?

  Does anyone know this information? Or suggest that it could be?

  If so, pls reply. Thank you very much!

  G

  Hello

  I think you can run Notepad on the battery power more than one hour.

  But as you have already said, battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. If the battery performance can change always and can be different.

  If you wish, you can extend the performance of battery changing the settings in the power options.
  A stronger battery could also allows to run Notepad as long on battery.

  If you wish, you can visit the European site of Toshiba-> Options & accessories for a stronger battery

• Driver XP SATA for Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E

  Hi all I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E and I am trying to downgrade from Vista to XP. I have the sata AHCI controller mode, I looked for this drivers on the toshiba site and the site of intel, but none of these work when installing xp and pressing f6 when you use a usb floppy drive. Any ideas?

  Hello

  If you have set the compatible SATA mode in the BIOS, then you n t need to install all the drivers SATA!
  Compatibility mode allows you to run the HARD drive without SATA drivers.

  But if you want to use the HDD in SATA mode, then you will set back to AHCI.
  In this case the SATA drivers must be installed in order to use the HDD in SATA mode.

  The laptop seems to be equipped with the AMD CPU and so you need a SATA chipset AMD driver. That are in the package of graphics (record SBDrv/SATA") driver

• Satellite Pro L300 - using partition magic

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 laptop and I would like to make an additional partition next to the C: drive already existing and the hidden partition. I created the recovery discs and I want to use the magic of partition for the partitioning process (no new installation of windows xp). Can someone tell me if using partition magic will have adverse effect on the eventual recovery from disks created?

  Thanks in advance

  Usually you can do with Windows option in disk management, but can you please tell me something first?

  You are using Vista or Windows XP Home edition? I ask this question because if you use Vista preinstalled HARD drive must have already two partitions. Please check in Windows Explorer.

  Hidden partition is described as an EISA (WinRE) partition?

• Satellite Pro L300: x 3100 and updated updated driver chipset Intel 965 graphics

  Has anyone installed the Intel 7.15.10.1666 driver, dated 02/26/2009 for the Mobile 965 chipset? Here is their web page to download:

  http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/

  Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 doesn't work for some reason unknown to me, with the automatic update driver Intel (download containing the executable file). Therefore, I followed the instructions for manual installation (the download with the zip file).

  My laptop works fine with this new driver, and there is a clear improvement in the transitions between images when you use the option to Windows presentation (slideshow).

  This new driver installs also 3 Intel graphics programs:
  For the management of the display function keys
  Access to the system tray
  Wizard TV

  I used Windows Defender to remove these 3 programs that load automatically at startup of the system to maintain a fast startup time and not loading unnecessary programs in memory. There is no me no problem.

  Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?

  Hello

  Thanks for this second info...

  > Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?
  Who knows maybe it has not been verified, approved and tested by Toshiba?

  As far as I know every phone manufacturers test and approve drivers before they will be released in the pages of pilot
  Perhaps, it has not been approved...

  However, it s good new that this driver works correctly.
  I'll check it too on my laptop.

  All laptops have been saved for the extended 3 year warranty and Cashback 2010 promotion.
  One of these laptops has now developed an error and needs to be repaired under warranty.

  I tried to do it via the website of Toshiba, but the system refuses to accept the serial number or model number of the laptop, saying there are not valid.
  I sent support in this regard, but had so no response or ackknowledgment.

  Anyone know why this model is not listed?

• Satellite Pro L300 upgraded to Win8 but I would like to update the drivers

  I have upgraded to Windows 8, but I found the Wifi adapter needs to be reset frequently (it seems to be without a cause) - Troubleshooting Windows 8 solves it by resetting the adapter, but I thought there will be a fix for this?

  When I tried to update the drivers I found that the L300 is not (in the not extensible or expandable lists)-is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model? Or can you suggest how to update all the drivers of Toshiba for this model.

  Thank you

  Your Satellite Pro is the model of laptop old enough and not supported for Win8.
  It is difficult to find drivers for the notebook not supported models and old.

  Problem is that if you make the decision to do so anyway you are on your own and can be all just lucky if everything works properly.
  > is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model?
  It is not easy to give you the right answer. What needs to be done is to compare each hardware component important as chipset, GPU, chip sound, LAN/WLAN with other models and see if some Win8 drivers are available. It is not so easy.

  For example: Toshiba Satellite pro L300 offers 4 different hardware platforms. One you have? What is the model number of your machine?

• Upgrade CPU of my Satellite Pro L300-152

  Hello

  my laptop is a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-152
  Model no. PSLB1E-01R015EN
  Celeron 560 2.13 GHz

  Can someone tell me what CPU I can pass safely, I use it in a cool environment and care about a few 100 mhz more of her.

  Thank you for your support

  Before you start to discuss CPU upgrade, check it please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  My personal opinion is that upgrading the CPU won't help much and you will not realize a difference in performance for laptop. In my opinion need more RAM or SSD better and faster. This better and better performance some CPU with 100 mhz dating more than one.
