Satellite 1800-921: how to reset a messed machine?

Hello
I made the stupid mistake of deleting files and programs on my laptop, trying to create more space (I finally got an external hard drive), but I messed up my machine now.
I tried to reinstall the Toshiba programs using the tools & utilities cd but I have programs. For example when I try to reinstall WinDVD program I get the error message-

' C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe. C:\WINDOWS\system32\autoexec. NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS or Microdoft Windows applications.' and then a

"Serious error" message, then a message saying

"It's not a qualified Toshiba Machine" !

What have I done? I tried "System Restore", but there is no system restore point on my computer that I can come back.
Can someone tell me how I can clear my computer and start over? I think that this will be the only way.

Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank you
Nikki

Dear Nikki

Who knows what that you remove your laptop and I really believe that the best solution is to preinstall once again using recovery media. On this way the unit will have adjustments to plant again and runs stabile again. If you n t have much experience with the PC it is not easy to set up this new well.

If you decide to do this, please, back up all your important data, because the HARD drive will be formatted before the beginning of the procedure of the facilities. If you have two partitions, you can install the OS on a first using the installation in expert mode. If you need more help please write again.

Just one thing: you can try to visit the site of manufacturer of WinDVD and try to install a demo version if it is available to see if this can be properly installed.

  • Satellite 1800-921: antenna integrated behind the screen?

    Can someone tell me if the Satellite 1800-921 has an antenna behind the screen?
    Thank you
    Peter

    I guess you mean a kind of antenna? As far as I know behind the screen is placed antenna WLAN for supported models with WLAN connectivity.

    I wasn't able to find info on Satellite 1800-921, but if the unit is supplied without WIFI I guess that there is no WLAN antenna behind the screen. By the way: I believe that the Satellite 1800 series is delivered without a WLAN option.

    Hello

    Seems that the laptop can not find the bootable source.
    This means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning or the boot sector is defective.

    By the way; have you tried to change the boot order in the BIOS?

  • Re: upgrade memory for a Satellite 1800-921 PIII 1.1 GHz...

    I am trying to find the memory upgrade for my Satellite 1800-921 PIII 1.1 GHz... Part number: PS183E-00HTT-EN.
    The vehicle is currently a Nanya 256 MB SDR 133 Mhz - CL3 and I undestand it can be upgraded with an additional 256 MB card.
    The only problem is that I can't find a compatible! Any ideas what's need & where I couldn't leave?

    Hello

    The compatible module is PC100 256 MB with PA3069U - 1 M 25 part number.

  • Satellite 1800-921 material updates

    Hello

    My daughter received a Satellite 1800-921, but it needs to be updated.

    I need to allow him to become compatible wireless and also update the RAM.

    In addition, they are easy to do?

    Thank you

    The update of the RAM is possible. You can update for max max 1024 MB and these modules can be used:
    PC100 256 MB (PA3069U - 1 M 25)
    PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
    PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)

    The situation with the WiFi network is a little different. The laptop does not support any card of minPCI of WLan and the internal upgrade isn't possible.
    But you can use a USB WiFi key or a PCMCIA Wlan card.

  • On the Satellite 1800-921 black screen problem

    Hello
    My satellite 1800-921 has started to give me a black screen after I turn it on. It loads well, go to the desktop and then the screen turns white and I can't make it respond. We can just distinguish the dialogs on the screen so I don't know if it is a screen problem or things I see on the screen are just ghosts...
    It's a bit worrying!
    Does anyone else have this problem? So far, it seems to happen when I turn it on. Usually, I have to turn it off and reboot to get it back and then it works very well.
    Thank you
    Nancy :)

    Hello

    to the old series, it may be that the FL inverter is broken or damaged the tupe of backlight. In both cases, you can see the screen but without backlight!

    To differi if it is a hard - or software error, you should start the laptop and ESC immediately to enter the BIOS. Then the machine must be running half an hour in the BIOS. When the rupture occurred it is quite sure that some hardware is broken. Otherwise, it is a software based and a restore with recovery CD Toshiba should solve the problem!

  • Satellite 1800-921-Maximum extension

    I have a 1800-921 Satellite running Windows XP. It starts and works fine, but as soon as I put the antivirus software on it slows down to a crawl. I want to improve its performance, but have the recommended Maximum 512 MB system memory. Can I wear this in any way to make the laptop run faster?

    The hard drive has been defragmented and 8 of it is 20 GB free.

    Is there anything else I can do?

    It will be interesting to know what antivirus you have installed on your machine.
    In my opinion the best anti-virus is AVIRA antivir. He doesn't need a lot of resources and works perfectly on Windows XP Home edition.

    Back to your question.
    I know for sure that the Satellite 1800-911 can be upgraded up to 1 GB of RAM, so I think that your Satellite can be upgraded to 1 GB.

  • Satellite L310-D4011: how to reset the DVD region to 0 setting?

    Dear all,

    I have a Satellite L310 D4011 I bought recently in which I installed a DVD playback software.
    I run Windows XP. One of my friends played a video clip of the United Kingdom (Mccartney Live at red square) in the DVD player and the original region setting that was 0 with 5 remaining changes, went to 4 changes remaining and the area is now set to 2. I am in India where the region for DVD is 5. If I change to 5, I lose another change option.

    I don't want to leave my DVD ROM stuck 0 left options and some other areas.

    Can someone give me advice to reset the region back with five remaining options - as it was when I bought the laptop?
    I'll be very grateful. The salesperson who I bought the laptop will be able to get back to factory setting?

    Best wishes

    Hello

    I think Toshiba has nothing to do with it. To protect the film industry and interests all laptop manufacturers offer optical disk drives where you can watch movies with country code but only 5 times. The last chosen region code will be set as default. So if you have more than 4 codes there is no reason to panic. Just continue to watch movies in your favorite area.

    I'm 100% sure that Toshiba service or the vendor where you bought your laptop will say that they have nothing to do with it. In drive properties you have set out to clear how it works.

    In any case, you can try to contact them and ask for help.
