• Satellite A100: Where to get a Synaptics touchpad driver for Vista?

  Hello

  I just upgraded from Windows XP Home SP2 for Windows Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba Satellite A100.
  I was wondering where I could download a driver for Synaptics touchpad that works?

  I tried the generic drivers from the Synaptics Web site, but they do not completely install it (the second component still fails to install).
  Then I tried those Toshiba Web site, but the Vista compatibility messages show an error that says error code "# 5 b 4 @10.

  Then I tried the drivers compatible with Windows XP, and they work perfectly, except for the fact that I can not configure advanced features like virtual scrolling and tap zones.
  I click the icon in the status bar, click the device settings tab, and every time I click the button nothing happens.

  Any help?

  Hello

  Usually the driver from the Toshiba page should be quite valid and works.
  Please note that there are different series A100 and if you download drivers, don't forget that you choose the correct drivers for the series on the right laptop.

• No recovery expert on Satellite A100-237 option?

  Hello

  I own a laptop Satellite A100-237 which, after a long struggle with attacks from viruses and Trojans, needs a system recovery. I have a package of product recovery 2-CD with Windows XP Home edition with SP2 and all of the drivers/tools etc and the process is supposed to be pretty simple - but I have a serious issue at hand: Partitions.

  My 80 GB HD is divided into two partitions: A 60 GB c: the operating system and general purpose and a 20 GB D: for backups of EXTREME IMPORTANCE. Now that I know I can use a 'expert recovery mode"to recover my system while maintaining the back-ups. Now, it's actually where the problem comes in.

  When I boot from the restore CD there is absolutely NO OPTION for the 'EXPERT' YEAR RECOVERY MODE!

  Simply, I am greeted by a language selection screen. Spent, the family Windows XP Setup option in English or localized version (Turkish, in my case), in both cases the HD everything is wiped out. Next there is a "Cancel" button and a button "settings". 'Abandonment', as well as the label says, shut down the computer. 'Settings', on the other hand, are more complicated. You are presented with a window with a nice slider which culminates at 76 GB - you are supposed to set a default size installation partition. However, in this case, the HD everything gets wiped out as well - you get only a partition of the installation and the remaining space becomes simply "unallocated". I tried each way for a cost of losing all my backups several times without success.

  In both cases there is no option to install the operating system on a predefined partition.

  There is no 'expert recovery option' accessible from any where inside the installation routine.

  I contacted the local Toshiba customer service and Tech Services. and their response is identical and hilarious: "your hard drive is not intended to be used in partitions. You NEED to recover your system as a single partition. Otherwise you won't be eligible to warranty AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE! »

  I'm pretty sure I'm missing something inside this installation routine, and there should be a way to preserve the back-ups and retrieve only the first partition. Any information would be helpful.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I understand that you're frustrated.
  As much as I know expert recovery mode is not available on the recovery CD because it s a new generation of mobile phones.
  As far as I know since 2006, Toshiba laptops come with the new version of the recovery CD. This CD contains the option instead of the normal or expert mode settings.
  But in the settings, you should be able to change the size of the HARD disk as in expert mode.

  My Satellite phone was delivered with a single partition and I guess that all laptops are delivered also with a single partition (instead of a few Qosmio that uses a Qosmio player on hidden partition). Generally, the recovery CD brings the laptop to factory settings.
  I think that every computer made manufacturing only supported hardware issues and not the problems of software (partition is a software problem and does not appear as a factory setting). If you want to do something different on the laptop that you can do, but it s not supported by any computer manufacturing. So I can understand the service guy.

  However, the issue of your partition. I think the option settings should allows you to create a new game or to select the partition where the OS is to be installed.
  In disk management, you can activate the remaining space and the partition must be visible.
  Try to make a backup of your second partition and play with these settings.

  I have a Satellite A205 running Vista. FN + F9 key never worked to disable the touchpad.

  I read that there is an option to disable the touchpad when a mouse is connected to a USB port. I don't seem to have that option.
  I have to go in Control Panel to turn entirely which is kind of a pain.

  I use a mouse Laser Bluetooth MS so there is no mouse plugged into a USB port, only the Bluetooth dongle.

  Does anyone know of an easier way to do this?

  Maybe you should check the page of the Toshiba driver we and must download and install the utility of Toshiba touchpad on / off.

• How to disable the touchpad on my Tecra M10 - 10H?

  I just want to know if it is possible to disable the touchpad and is so, how, please?

  What I tried (which did not work):

  1. by pressing Fn + F9.

  2. go to "Mouse properties" and looking for an option to disable the touchpad it.

  After reading your ad, I must say that we don't know anything about your laptop.
  What operating system do you use?
  FN keys work or not in general?
  Is the driver for the touchpad that is installed or not?

  In my opinion, you must visit the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and install driver touchpad and additional package from Toshiba. After making this check please if FN + F9 works. If this isn't the case, you should be able to disable touchpad in the mouse properties. After installation of the Synaptics driver new additional tab will be added to the device settings, and you will find option toggle.

• Satellite A100-159 and Motorola Bluetooth Headset HS815

  Hello
  I can not connect the headset bluetooth Motorola HS815 portable satellite A100-159.
  I disable MS bluetooth and installed the latest Toshiba Bluetooth Stack V4.00.36.
  It's my internal bluetooth device from toshiba:
  077B = "internal Bluetooth CSR (19.2) v2.0 EDR.

  (1) I turn on the headset HS815
  (2) the Bluetooth manager sees a device, opening a pop-up windows where says "authentication failed", indicates the MAC ADDRESS of the helmet and ask me for the PIN.
  (3) I type in the PIN code "0000" default, but nothing happens!
  the HS815 is not connected,
  the Bluetooth Manager doesn't list any any device.

  It is:
  This Motorola HS815 headset is compatible with the bluetooth Satellite A100-159 card?

  Thanks a million in advance
  Filippo

  The error message indicates that something was wrong during the pairing process.
  This is silly, but important questions.
  Are you sure you have connected your headset and no other in the range? Really, the PIN is "0000" and you tyed in properly (maybe caps lock was on to your keyboard and something else has in fact been registered)?
  Delete all pairing if it exists, and then try again.

• Auto disable Synaptics Touchpad when USB mouse is connected

  Hello

  Someone at - it an idea how to move again the function "Auto Disable Synaptics Touchpad when USB mouse is connected.  I found an old entry in a forum that referenced changing a setting in the registry hex 33, and implied that this would make the OPTION become visible in the mouse settings in the control panel.  But it just seems to disable the touchpad while. So I guess that Synaptics have changed things since this 'solution' was published in 2009, I think. .

  I have W7 XPS and version 15.3.22.0 for Synaptics Touchpad driver.

  See you soon

  K.

  SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED!

  All - I read through it and many forums and have found no solution. I thought of it on my own, so I'm happy to share with you!

  This solution applies to those who do not have a touchpad disable button F button at the top of your keyboard and have the Synaptics driver which does not show the option to disable the touchpad when the external device is present. This also applies to those where the registry key update does not work (because it didn't for me).

  Here is the solution.

  1. go to the Dell site and get the latest driver for your touchpad. Install it.

  2. Once installed, go into c:\program files\synaptics\syntp in your windows Explorer.

  3. open the program called DellTpad.exe (there is also a DellTouchpad.exe called - do not use this one)

  

  4. Once opened, click on device settings.

  

  5 and here the old box is down! Just click to make it active and it works like a charm.
