Satellite A100-033: disable touchpad when the USB mouse is conencted

I have a Toshiba Satellite running Vista Home Basic.
Recently, I had a catastrophic failure of the Windows and had to install it from scratch.

Before the failure, I had found a few (well hidden) setting that invalidates the touchpad automatically whenever an external USB mouse was connected.
To the left it works whenever the mouse is disconnected.

Can someone help me? (He had nothing to do with the Synaptics driver, which does not allow this.)

Hello

I can activated and disable this feature in my dashboard-> mouse settings

In the mouse settings, I choose the device settings tab, and then I can check the option called disable pointing device internal when the eternal USB pointing device is attached.

Welcome them

    Satellite Pro M70 (SPM76) crashes every time when the USB port is used.
    The mouse works, but external HD/Extarnal card sound/Memory stick causing the laptop to freeze. All the drivers are installed right, they are the most recent and have no trouble with other users.

    The devices are all compatible. Service pack 2 is installed, and all the hardware drivers on the toshiba have been updated... again, same problem.
    The toshiba is about 2 months old and have had this problem since I got it. First I thought it was the drvers, but I cleared of all (?) other options but the USB ports.

    Hello

    Believe me, that's not easy to say what the problem may be. It is important to see if the problem occurs because of hardware or software may be. I recommend you to backup all your data and reinstall the unit using rescue media. On this way the unit will be factory settings and will be clean preinstalled. Test your USB devices and see what happens.

    Try to use some standard like USB stick or external HARD disk parts, because in this case, you must not install any drivers please. If you use other devices like USB webcam with own software and drivers, it is possible that something goes wrong, but what. On this path, it is not possible to say.

  • Satellite L500 - high-pitched noise when the USB port is in use

    I have a Satellite L500-1ZP, aged from 1 month. When I connect a usb key or other device in my usb port, the laptop generates a high-pitched noise.
    The sound is not strong, strong but enough to irritate me.
    When I disconnect a device, the sound disappears.
    The sound is also there when I disconnect my laptop to the grid form.

    This is a common problem and can it be resolved?

    To be honest I don't think that this is a common problem. Is that what you found more threads with the same description of problem?
    The same happens when you use the available USB ports?
    You can locate where this noise is coming from? Maybe the speakers?

  • Satellite A100-163 - blue screen when the PC is overloaded

    Hi guys!

    I bought my PC not so long ago and it's a machine woderful piece, BUT I have a question that I guess is with my RAM. Whenever my PC is overloaded (when I start a game + my winamp plays and I'm downloading stuff on the internet) I get a blue screen telling me that Windows is dumping some memory etc etc... He suggested to update my BIOS driver as a possible solution to the problem. I tried new drivers from this site, but there is no news yet.

    Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

    Concerning

    KOS

    Hello

    I don t think you will solve this problem by updating the BIOS. It is a new unit and there are more recent version of the BIOS installed.
    In my view, this problem occurs due to running applications. The most games need the full memory performance.
    In this case another application cannot use the full memory.

    In your case, I would check the memory sticks or / and to improve memory.

  • Can I install 4 GB of RAM in my Satellite A100-033?

    I have a Satellite A100-033 (PSAANE-03J02GEN). The manual says that it will support only 2 GB of RAM. Does anyone know if it will support actually 4GB? I installed 2 x 1 GB instead of the supplied 2x512MB and am trying to install 2 x 1 GB? It will work, or is there a restriction in the motherboard or BIOS which means that most RAM is recognized? Can anyone help?

    Hello

    If the manual says you can improve it only 2 GB of RAM, you can then use only 2 x 1 GB modules.
    But if you insert 2 x 2 GB RAM modules then either your laptop does not start or it might start but all of the 4 GB would not be recognized.

    Generally, there are Windows 32 bit OS (no matter if it s Vista or XP) would use and recognize only same 3.2 GB 4 GB RAM max would be inserted.

    And of course, there are a lot of restrictions on the RAM;
    If the chipset and BIOS does not allow 4 GB of RAM, so you wouldn't be able to use it.

    See you soon

  • Is Satellite A100-033 supports internal Microphone

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Satellite A100-033 (pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Basic Edition).

    The manual indicates the location of an internal microphone and there is a small slot on this place. However, attempts to use suggest that it does not work. External microphone works very well.

    Some A100 models do not appear to have an internal microphone (after a search through messages here). Can someone tell me if the A100-033 don't? Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    As already mentioned the series of laptops comes with different hardware specifications, and not every laptop supports the same features.
    Laptop Satellite A100-033 does not support the internal mic.
    It s is simply not available and you need to use externally.

    Have a nice day ;)

  • Satellite A100-033: I disabled the touchpad and now Fn + F9 won't allow

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-033 running Vista Home Basic. I use especially the laptop as a desktop replacement, and I do not like use the touchpad I disabled it, and instead, I use an external mouse via a USB port.

    I don't know if I disabled the touch pad by pressing Fn + F9 or by any other means (if it was by some other means that I forgot what it was). Recently, I wanted to re-enable the touchpad so that I could use the laptop outside the home. However, I found that by pressing Fn and F9 don't re - not allow the touchpad and I now can't use the touch pad at all.

    If I go into the properties of the mouse (in Control Panel), that tells me that my synaptics pointing device is enabled. If I go into Device Manager and look at 'mouse', I thought that my touchpad works properly.

    All this makes me suspect that the problem is not a hardware failure, but I changed a few settings, so that my touchpad is permanently disabled until I change the setting back to its original state.

    Help!

    Hello

    One of the solutions would be a system restore you could try to set the operating system to the point of time at the beginning. Perhaps that would help reactivate the touchpad.

    Conversely, you can try to reinstall the drivers for the Touchpad firstly I would recommend removing it from the Device Manager and then after restarting, you can try reinstalling the drivers downloaded!

    I would appreciate any comments from you

    Good bye

  • Drive external HARD USB will not access the files correctly on Satellite A100-033

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-033 (PSAANE-03J02GEN), running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.
    I have a Western Digital passport external hard drive, which has no power source, because it pulls its power via the USB port.

    Sometimes the player works fine, but I often have huge problems to access files on the drive. Opening a folder can make Windows to hang.

    Open an audio file or a Word can do Word or audio software crash. Copy files often fails and in the process can make the Explorer Windows stop working.

    Recently I tried to copy a 33MB file from the external hard drive to my laptop, and while he did it took more than an hour. So many things can happen, none of them pleasant.

    Problems can occur if the external drive is the only device connected to a USB (apart from an external mouse, I always use), or if the external hard drive is one of a number of devices plugged into my laptop - either separately or through a USB hub (powered or unpowered).

    Anyone know what is happening and how I can make my USB external drive usable? I have two other external drives (powered by their own power source) and they work perfectly.

    Why, most of the time, do drive limp along so badly that they are virtually unusable?

    Hello

    One thing is clear; the problem is definitely related to the external HARD drive and not the laptop. It seems that this problem still occurs if the HD has been connected.

    It of really difficult to say what could be wrong with your external HARD drive
    Maybe HARD drive sectors are corrupt, and therefore you can not open folders and some files stored on the HARD drive.

    Have you tried to format the HARD drive? Check this box and try to save and re-open cases.

    In the worst case that the external HARD drive has a hardware malfunction

  • Re: Satellite A100-033 PSAANE: Realtek Audio stereo Mix has become 'lost '.

    Following an encouraging response to a question from the forum, I replaced the original 60 G hard drive in my Toshiba Satellite A100-033 PSAANE with a 500 G drive.
    All right, except that I have more "Stereo Mix Realtek High Definition Audio" in the recording tab in the audio in the control panel.
    This means that I can't record any sound at all, if I try to capture sound, for example to help start Video Capture Software from NCH.

    If I replace the original 60G drive, stereo mix Realtek is there and I can record OK. If I plug my external sound card, I can record the sound with it. If (in my new 500G drive), I look in Device Manager in the Control Panel, Realtek High Definition Audio is listed under game controllers & sound video. Thus, it seems that the correct driver is correct. But somehow, it is not recognized under sound in the Control Panel, and it cannot be used by software that requires it.

    It may be a simple problem but it's confusing to me. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for this second info
    It of Nice that you share with others here in the forum!

  • Cannot disable touchpad on the Qosmio series F

    All you need to do is use the FN + F9 key combination and choose the DISABLED option. You can also check the properties of the mouse. There must be the same option too.
