Satellite A100-487: pointer speed & button control buttons have fallen alarmingly

In the last two or three days keys cursor/pointer speed and control have dropped alarmingly.

Also the icon in the system tray Tracker does not always record the touch pad is used, and what is normally when the speed drops.
The pointer moves on the screen very well, but there is a significant delay to the derivative of the target or get any response to a click on the buttons when it is.

I suspect a virus of some type, but after running Norton, Hitman Pro and Webroot Spyware I have found none. Can anyone suggest a possible cause/remedy please?

Hello

Have you noticed a full CPU usage while the cursor/pointer speed and control buttons have declined?
Sometimes my answer mouse doesn t or moves slowly because the processor running at 100% and should run several background processes.
Of course, a virus or malware could use rate increases the CPU at a higher level.

I've noticed that Norton does not recognize some virus or some potentially dangerous files are not known to Norton Antivirus.
For several months, I have been using the freeware AntiVirus program. It of fun and free!

But maybe it's not a virus problem, but just something wrong with the system files and drivers of s.
In this case, I would recommend reinstalled the common modules, touchpad driver/utility and Toshiba controls.

In an enterprise value you need to reinstall the whole OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD!

  • Satellite A100 - 386 (PSAA9E) - support button

    Hello

    I would like to learn more about the special keyboard keys. I have 4 large buttons on the left side of my keyboard, maybe 6 under: "(internet, cd/dvd, lecture/pause, stop, retour en arrière/avant)."

    I would like to know everything about them: where are they in the control panel? How the Support Button works? How to record TBS are used?

    In fact, I would like to make them a job I want: I don't understand why I have 6 button, but only 2 (internet, cd/dvd) in the software 'button '.
    (of course, nothing happens whatever I set up in support of the key). Another thing: I have a strange Y instead, if the \ in the path of the Support Button. Is this really?

    Hello

    I can understand that you are so curious, but unfortunately no one will be able to give specific answers to your questions. I just write my opinion about it. I hope that you will agree with my opinion.

    In any case all these buttons are designed to make notebook easy and also more comfortable to use. As you can see there are two buttons that you can use to start an application and others are designed for a multimedia application.

    To be honest your sentence
    > I do not understand why I have 6 button, but only 2 (internet, cd/dvd) in the software 'button '.
    completely confused me. If you see 4 buttons are for multimedia I don't understand why you can't understand that. You can use them with EMP, WMP, and WinDVD.

    Exact explanation, how it works, you can find in s operating manuals. Maybe you can tell us how you want to configure all these buttons.

  • Satellite A100-813 - Express media buttons no longer work after XP install

    Hello

    For these special buttons, you must install the tools of Toshiba. Did you check that?

    On the Toshiba site I founded the document setup instructions for your laptop and XP. It is a list for recommended order of installation of drivers.
    This means that you will also install Toshiba common Modules, Hotkey Utility, enabling/disabling Touchpad utility, utilities, etc.

  • Satellite A100 - Synaptics pointing device does not

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A100-062, that is around the age of 10 months. The other day while I was using the laptop touchpad no longer meets nothing that do about it, including the mouse buttons. I did a system restore and then used the toshiba recovery disc but nothing solved the problem. Then I stopped using it for a few days I was getting ready to return to the shop, but beforehand, I thought I would try something. Before I had tried something I booted up it to make sure that the mouse was still not working. However, it was and I did not anything else to fix.

    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if you have how many times it happened, and whether or not it is repairable.

    Thanks for any help in this matter.

    Hello

    If the touch pad does not respond after clean installation of the operating system (DVD release) there must be a hardware problem. I recommend you contact the service provider authorized in your country. After 10 months the warranty should still be valid. Let check the touchpad and if there is a hardware problem it will be exchanged free of charge.

    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.

    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 A100-049: programs keep saying that I have no rights

    I am the only user on this laptop A100-049, using Windows Vista.
    Some programs who want to write files in the root or in the directory program files and if I want to delete some files that I created, all of a sudden tell me I can't do this, because I don't have sufficient rights to do so.

    I was under the impression that as the only user, I was automatically in the administrator group, that i keep reading gives me all rights to the files.
    This doesn't seem to be the case for me, can anyone help please. I found by trial and error that if I go into the properties of files and select the Security tab, then select "Remove properties and personal information", then I can delete files, but I have to do for each file.
    Thank you very much in advance for any response.

    I think that happens because of the new Vista feature called UAC (user account control)

    Microsoft provides this info on UAC:
    The main goal of user account control is to reduce the exposure and attack surface of the operating system by requiring that all users run in standard user mode. This limitation minimizes the ability for users to make changes that could destabilize their computers or inadvertently expose the network to viruses through undetected malicious software that infected his computer.
    User account control, COMPUTER administrators can run most applications, components and processes with a limited privilege, but have "elevation potential" for specific administrative tasks and functions of the application.

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa906021.aspx

    On this page of Microsoft, you can find useful information, how to handle this user account control:
    For example how to disable the Admin Approval Mode, how to mark an application to always run high, etc.

    If you want you can completely disable this feature!

  • Satellite A100-979: cannot find Vista 64 bit driver for Toshiba buttons

    Hello!

    I have a problem to find a driver for the multimedia keys on my Satellite A100-979(6 easy keys). I have Windows Vista 64-bit and this computer laptop should be vista capable. Can someone help me? Maybe you have an idea to solve this problem.

    > this laptop should be able to vista

    Of course, it s Vista capable. You installed Vista on the Satellite A100-979 and it works.

    You ask drivers for the 64 bit version of Vista? Well, unfortunately, but there is nothing to see!
    It should be common that Toshiba does not all 64-bit drivers. or for XP for Vista. :(

  • Error recovery on Satellite A100

    Hello people!

    Well, I've had my Toshiba Satellite A100 for almost 1 year, and I have these non-removable spyware and ad-aware. But besides that, I want to reformat my pc but I can't. When I choose for the boot device cd-rom drive, loading RAMDisk image, it comes up with an instant message and then he disappears, but I noted to see F6 and so I rebooted the DVD again and I spammed F6. And this is what happens:

    "Setup could not determine the type of computer you have, or you have chosen to manually specify the type of computer.
    Select the type from the following list, or select "other" If you have a device support disk provided by the manufacturer of your computer.

    ACPI Multiprocessor PC
    ACPI Uniprocessor PC
    Advanced Configuration and power interface (ACPI) PC
    NPS Uniprocessor PC
    NPS Multiprocessor PC
    Standard PC
    Others. "

    I thought, if I use the mechanical system or something else, can I just reformat with that entirely and then I use the toshiba recovery cd and I think I have the windows xp cd. Can I install windows xp from there and then go down all of the toshiba utilities download site and install them? Or does install the drivers to display with the recovery cd or I see nothing and I will stuff my pc up to? Lol usually whenever I have try sumfin to help my pc I usually have the wreck it. So I've always guaranteed, so I might even go back to there. But I would appreciate if you guys can help.

    Thank you

    Adam

    Hello Adam

    Honestly, your ad is so complicated and confusing for me I will just try to explain how you can install OS on your Satellite A100.

    If you want to install the operating system, you can do on two tracks:
    -Sent using recovery DVD set in ODD and turn off. Turn it back on and immediately press the C button. keep it down for a short period and the ODD is obliged first to start device. When the facility starts just follow the on-screen menu.
    -You can use the Microsoft facilities (full version) CD. Install the OS and after that you need to install all the drivers, tools and utilities manually. All the stuff you can find on the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support & downloads

    Before you format drive HARD trying to create own Tools & Utilities CD. This option you will find Toshiba Assist Protect & Fix tab.

    All that s! If I misunderstood something please post again.

    satellite a100-785

    Hello

    Strange that you mean that the Satellite A100 ask the BIOS password that you have not defined?

    However, there is no way to remove unknown BIOS password. Only the Asp technician can do that.
    Therefore, you will need to contact the ASP technician who could remove the BIOS password for you.
