Satellite A100-049: games does not work well

I bought this new laptop the other day and it came with vista home premium. Everything is perfect, except that it's terrible to run the games! Some in such a way that my old laptop with sis650 chipset and 256 MB of ram was better.

Im running games aren't anything special, and I used to record videos from my amiga emulator which is impossible to do with this laptop. Even when I play a game on well below the graphics settings good I'll choppyness and stuttering.

I've heard about how nvidia drivers are with vista but I found no drivers and none seem to make one difference other than that I get more options in the control panel. Searched and tried most of the things I can think off. _.

The specs are-
Intel (r) core (TM) 2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz 1.67 GHz processor
2024MB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300

Any ideas?

Hello

I m not surprised. I think that many older applications are not 100% compatible with Vista and I think that the drivers are also worthy of improvement.
I put t see many possibilities.
Either you wait for all the patches for vista or you'll change to XP.

Greetings

    My son has a 487 A100, running on Windows XP. I recently bought him a game and it loads fine. The game played for about 15 minutes and close that back to my desktop screen and gives an option to send an error report.

    It has 1 GB of RAM so I am a little confused, this could be a graphic problem?
    Can someone advise me and point me in the right direction. any help appreciated

    It will be interesting to know what kind of game you bought for your son. It's really not easy to say what can be the problem. You will find an error report in the event viewer?

  • Satellite A100: Recovery DVD does not work

    I want to restore my Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop to its original factory condition, but the DVD that comes with the package of recovery does not work...

    I have load to start computer press F12, and it starts on the DVD. It says "Loading RAMDISK Image", after which I am told by Toshiba customer service there should be options to clean up the hard drive or restore Windows XP.

    However, after VIRTUAL disk, I see a cursor on a black screen, and then the laptop off and restarts. After the connection, NO CHANGES made...

    What is the problem with that? How can I really use this recovery DVD?
    Someone help me please.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The recovery procedure is not difficult.
    Just try to boot from the recovery CD or DVD and follow the Guide on the screen line.

    Your problem is very strange. You have created all the partitions on the HARD drive?
    I put really t know why your recovery CD doesn't work properly, but I think you should try to completely format the disk (also partitions), then try to boot from the recovery CD.

    Don't forget that the laptop is in the boot mode. (don t mix the standby or hibernation mode)

  • Satellite A100: Crossover Cable does not work

    I have a laptop TOSIHBA SATELLITE A100
    I tried to connect my laptop to another computer by Cable Crossover
    and he wasn't wotking, the sign (X) appeared to me as if the cable was not plugged.

    Note that (when I put my cable DSL ' it works well on the net)
    to know that I tried this cable with the other compuers, and it worked fine.

    Hello

    Strange?  :|
    I think that it s certainly not a physical LAN port problem because as you have already said the ADSL cable works fine.

    You have the right settings TCP/IP to connect to the other computer?
    Both computers must be in the same workgroup. In addition, you must set the IP fix, the subnet mask and the gateway!

    Also, try to remove the map LAN device manager and restart the laptop.
    After the new reboot the OS must load the required drivers and should recognize the card even once.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A100: internal microphone does not work

    Well well, my type cell phone (or so it is said) is a Satellite A100, I have everything (I think) works fine, but it is only when I try to use my built-in mic phone the problem starts, it won't work!

    It is said there is a built-in microphone, but the bar will not move as he cannot hear my voice, even when I'm screaming! I tried on msn thinking it was a small problem, but he said that had heard no noise!

    It worked fine when I plugged my microphone in my webcam installed, but the problem is now, my older brother was and broken than microphone and I wanted that my only integrated to work but is not!

    He said that the microphone is a Realtek audio HD with SRS, so I need to know if anyone can help me with this? Please?

    Hello

    Could you post a detailed laptop Satellite A100-xxx name?
    It would be very interesting to know if the laptop supports an internal microphone or not.

    To my knowledge, some of the A100 don t support the internal mic and that is why you should use the external mic

  • Satellite A100-596 - RAM does not work in location B

    After meeting with the blue screen of death, my A100-596 was out of service for some time. I decided to give it a last violin and had it work. I removed one of the modules of 512 MB ram and it works fine.

    The problem is that if I put the RAM module the computer starts not (the same problem that he had). I used a program called CPUZ and it recognizes the RAM in two slots (if I insert the other when the computer started upward).

    Why CPUZ recognizes the RAM, but windows does not start with it inserted or even to recognize.

    I've played around with the RAM modules. Two of them work in the A slot but neither location B. The maximum extension of my motherboard is 2 GB, it means that I can't put a 2 GB module in one of the slots?

    It seems strange that CPUZ fortunately sees the RAM in slot B, but windows does not start with it in.

    Help, please.

    > If I insert the other when the computer started upward
    Really pass the RAM if the computer was started? Laughing out loud
    I think that this is not a good idea. An upgrade of RAM should be done only if the computer or portable computer is turned off.

    I put t understand why can CPU - Z can recognize the RAM but Windows not? To run CPU - Z, you must start Windows before.

    However, I think that if both modules n t work in location B the slot is faulty.
    Also if you can upgrade the laptop to 2 GB not using a module with 2 GB of memory. Use two modules with 1 GB for each module.

  • Re: Satellite A100 - product key does not work on Vista installation

    Hey,.

    I'm paid to reinstall Windows Vista and all the drivers on a Toshiba Satellite A100 and it doesn't have a Vista disc, but I used guggle 1.6 to get the product key. That I reinstalled Vista Home Premium Grand with my copy of what I bought.

    But now when I try to enter the product key, it says its already in service and I get an error message.

    What should I do?

    Hello!

    The product key on the underside of the laptop is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled OEM version. This means that you can t use this key with a normal Vista installation disc that you can buy on the internet or in a store of the computer.

    If you want to install Vista you should a disk recovery Toshiba or a disc of Microsoft with the corresponding product key.

    You can order a Toshiba Toshiba recovery disc directly:

    Which driver do you have exactly? You should try the new driver to display on the Toshiba site. The drivers from ATI directly not designed for mobile cards!

    Normally, every game, you can change the screen resolution. There you can adjust it to the native screen resolution.

    An Atheros Wlan card installed on this laptop?
    If Yes, then it s a wireless network I / F Chip IAtheros that support a 802.11ag network (XB62L)
    If you want to use the Mandriva Linux WiFi card you need a Linux driver that supports the above chip.

  • Satellite A100-232 battery does not work

    Hello!

    My problem is:

    I tried to turn on my computer using only the battery as a power source - result: dead

    I have a computer connected to the main power supply (battery installed) - result: computer is turn on, charging battery led shines, no battery information in the systray of the window.

    After an hour of charge I tried again to turn on my computer using only battery as a power supply - result: dead.

    What's wrong? Is something wrong with battery or laptop?

    Thanks in advance for your answers!

    Hello

    It seems that your battery is defective. I suggest the first step: go to the dealer, tell him your problem and he ask if you can test with him another battery in your machine.
    If you are having the same problems with another battery that youre electronic load on the motherboard can be broken
    and you will have to send your unit for repair to an authorized partner that will solve your problem.

  • P850 satellite and a WiFi - internet connection does not work well

    Hello

    My internet connection does not work with a Wi - Fi connection.
    I have laptop Satellite P850-131, which I bought a few months ago and I noticed that over the past two months the internet connection does not work well. When I connect to the computer shows that I am connected Wi - Fi connections, however there is no connection and I can't access the internet.

    I tried to do all the regular search but nothing works. Sometimes the message I get told that there is a problem with the DNS and other times with the IP address. However, with other computers I didn't have any problem at all to connect to the same Wi-Fis.

    All solutions?
