• Question about DVD watching on Satellite 2450-201

  Hi, I have a satellite 2450-201.
  and I'm sure that when I had it first I could watch DVDs, s without having to start, only now, when I try this the computer starts completely before it will play, now perhap it did this before but I didn't take so long to start, because there was not much on it to slow it down, what I want to know is : is it possible or just my imagination, if not how to reset it please.
  Thank you in antisipation
  Pete

  Hi Pete,.

  You don't say what operating system you have. To watch DVDs without having to start you would need to have Windows installed MCE. He would use a small area of your hard drive to store the necessary software to allow you to play DVDs without having to start your main operating system.

  If you have XP (Home or Pro), then it is more likely that your startup process now takes longer than before so that you can start your DVD software. In this case check for unnecessary tasks or processes by using the Task Manager and I would also recommend spyware scanning, removing everything you find and run Defragmenter and disk cleanup.

• Satellite 2450-201: slow startup and shutdown

  I HAVE A SATELLITE 2450-201 AND I RUN ON WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION, I DID A REGISTRY CLEANER EVERYBODYS USERNAME USING REGISTRY FIX 5.5
  I HAVE DEFRAGED MY PC AND ALSO OPTIMIZED MY MSCONFIG STARTUP ITEMS AND EVEN THE BIOS UPDATE.
  THE RESULT IS EXTREMELY FASTER WHEN I CONNECT AND ACTUALLY UNDER WINDOWS BUT THE SAME OLD VERY SLOW STOP AND START TO WHAT I DO.

  THE WINDOWS BAR GOING ALONG AT LEAST 15 - 20 TIMES TO HELP START!

  Hello

  Maybe you've connected to some external devices to slow down the start-up procedure. You can also try to disable all the hardware components you n t need (modem. IrDA). Also check out which device is defined in a first start time (I hope that the HARD drive).

  For slow closing is responsible only running processes that should be forced disconnected. It all depends on your own configuration and you are using external devices.

  Hello

  You are right. There is no update available. At the moment where the device was on the market, the card 2 GB SD was not available.

  This device is very similar with 5200 Satellite and you can try to use the SD card of her driver. It should be version 2. 0 2. I really don? t know if this can help, but you can try it.

  Otherwise, I really don? t know what you can do about it.

• Satellite 2450-201: USB 1.1 instead of 2.0 controller

  I formatted the hard drive on my Satellite 2450-201 and loaded Windows XP SP2. I loaded all the drivers from the disk utilities and everything works well except the USB ports work only in 1.1 instead of 2. There is a yellow exclamation point in device on USB controller Manager. I tried a Toshiba download driver but there is nothing available.
  Can someone suggest a soloution to this problem.

  John

  Hi John

  As far as I know that there is no driver for USB controller. When you install the chipset driver all USB ports should be recognized correctly. Exclamation mark in Device Manager is an indication that the device is not configured correctly. Try to remove the controller and reboot the device. After this check again in Device Manager.

  Some external device is connected to the unit by USB ports?

  2.8 GHz / 533 MHz

  Additional info:
  The processor incorporates a 12 KB of L1 cache and 512KB L2 cache memory memory.

  But as far as I knwn Toshiba does not support updates. You have no guarantee that it will work properly

• Satellite 2450-201: cannot use TV option after the new installation of the OS

  Hello

  I have a laptop toshiba satellite 2450-201.
  I've always had the TV OUT works well with my TV, use the right cable SVIDEO.
  I was able to watch divx movies in my TV using my computer.

  I had to format the laptop and installed windows XP again.
  After that, I can't use more TV-OUT option, so that the image of the laptop could be seen on television, I've always had.
  After that I updated display drivers, but the problem remains.

  Can someone help me?
  Thank you

  Hello

  How do you reinstall the operating system? Have you used the recovery CD?
  Usually after the reinstallation of the operating system from the recovery CD, everything should work properly.
  It is important that you can switch to the TV. In this case, you can use FN + F5.
  If it's not working so I guess that for display devices hotkey utility works or was not installed. Well, the alternative is to pass on the TV via the graphic properties. The TV option, you should find somewhere in the advanced options.

  However, check it and check if you have installed all the drivers.

  Looks like you can't boot from the CD.
  The message insert system disk and press any key any appears because the laptop can not find any operating system and bootable CD.

• Satellite 2450-201: how to increase the video memory from 32 to 64 MB?

  Can anyone help? I looked in the Bios and the advanced settings screen, and found nothing to increase the size of the video memory.
  Any other way to find on my Satellite 2450-201

  Hello

  As far as I know that the unit has been delivered with the NVidia GeForce4 420Go 32 MB graphics card. This isn't a memory sheared graphics card.
  The card supports the own memory and not a function of memory sheared.
  In this case, you cannot change the value of memory.
