Satellite A100-583: Question of precision mouse

I have two of these PCs and both have what I would descibe as an irritaing.
When you rest the mouse on the reduction, enlarge, close window boxes is not always accurate. It also applies when the selection OK boxes etc. If you are not good in the Middle, it doesn't work, makes a 'ping' annoyong and you have to move the mouse somewhere else, click on an empty space or something, then come back and try again.

Also by selecting the bar on the right for slide down can lead to the reduction in the window and sometimes I had to enarge the screen several times after trying. I've never had this problem with another laptop or desktop.

He made slecting the items in the drop-down boxes difficult and uncertain, especially passwords!

I've noticed it seems to happen when selecting with one tap instead of using the button on the left which seems more accurate.

Sometimes by tapping a small box appears which in itself has a button down with a high and arrow. It would seem that there is no use for this little box is?

I know there is a pointer precision option, but it does not help in this case.

Hello

Sometimes using the touchpad, or only with a USB mouse?
To me, it sounds like a problem of Windows operating system and not a hardware problem.

As described, try to update the driver for the touchpad. What happens if you disable the Touchpad with FN + F9 and use only the mouse?

  • Satellite A100-003: Questions on keyboard

    Two questions:

    1. What is the product of my keyboard type and computers laptop Toshiba have the same?

    2. can I have my extra keyboard buttons in a Linux system? (Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon)

    (1) the satellite A100 was equipped with a keyboard that supports 86 keys; 2 Windows keys and 1 shortcut key.
    Seems that the A100 series was equipped with this keyboard

    (2) I assume you mean the keys FN and Toshiba control buttons.
    Well, if you want to use these buttons, you will need a compatible driver from Toshiba.
    The fact is that Toshiba doesn't support Linux and doesn't provide drivers for Linux distribution. This is why you will not be able to use these keys running Linux.

  • Satellite A100-599 - question about updating the display driver

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphics card and I like most of you Bioshock game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb... Meanwhile, NVIDIA has released some new patches for the Forceware and after I double checked the database of the Toshiba driver support I've seen a new version in the list of display driver for WinXp.

    One of them seems to be 13/09/2007. I have downloaded the drivers, installed them and then I checked the details of the driver in the Device Manager list and to my surprise the details say that the drivers are since 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in archive of drivers and surprise... the drivers really are the 'old' of 2006. So my question is this: you have the display drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D

    Best regards, Marian

    I Don t know if we. I think it would be took a long while to ask every single user: Hey, you have a few drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Some of them... ;)

    No, I have a better idea. It s like to cook a meal. Ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and... your your your TAAA patience

    To get a good 'bio' meal shocked just follow this recipe:

    read before doing anything (YES, even before you continue to BREATHE) the FAQ section on this site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
    and then download the drivers. Do it, Yes...

    Then download drivercleaner by searching on www.google.com and THEN read their manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue to breathe..)
    After reading the manual you will be something like:

    1. program start, do something, restart the machine
    2. start in safe mode, from this program, deleting... yadayadayada

  • Satellite A100-583 keeps closing

    Hello

    I have an A100 and it is less than 12 months old and began to close, though. It does not actually close down the screen turns off but is still. All power indicators are on, but it won t do anything.

    The only thing I can do is to remove the battery and restart. It seems not to count how many time I've used it as he has done after 20 minutes or much longer.

    Hello

    Mhhh. According to this description the Satellite A100 begins after several time freezing. That sounds like an overheating problem! Especially, the temperature rises to a higher level because the module cooling fans could not turn and could not cool the laptop with a maximum performance parts.

    Well, you could try to clean the fans with the hose of the vacuum cleaner against the vents. For most this very simple process helps.
    But look, man. This can be done at your own risk! I see that you laptop isn't old and maybe the guarantee could be valid!

    So in your case, it s advisable to contact the guys from services in your country.
    They could professionally cleaned the laptop!

    After getting a fresh installation (windows XP) on my Satellite A100-253, I thought that I needed the latest drivers. Apperently the drivers from the Toshiba site are obsolete or do any work.
    Here are my problems:

    -Display drivers is not installed at all. Instead, I installed the Catalyst drivers from another site but the resolution will not go higher then 1280 * 800, where my screen works better @ 1280 * 1024. Where can I get decent display drivers so I can put a normal resolution?
    -J' downloaded audio drivers on the Toshiba site but the sound is worse then it was. Where can I get the best drivers?
    -LAN (no WIFI) drivers on the Toshiba site seem to only have a uninstall.exe. Where can I get for my local network actual installation files?

    1. drivers you can get on the site of Toshiba or live production.
    Where did you download the drivers?
    Maybe a BIOS update will solve the problem.

  • Satellite A100-003: Question about RAM and recording model number

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    1. the first problem is that I bought the notebook of Toshiba Satellite A100-003 model. But when I tried to save the European web site of Toshiba with my serial number it says Satellite A100-011. I do not understand what it means that. But I do not know my phone model A100-003-PSAARE-0470257Z. The serial number of my laptop is: 17739127G

    2. Another problem is the European website of Toshiba and Turkey Toshiba official site (http://www.toshibatr.com/notebook_filter.asp?ktg=A100) says Rams are 533 MHz "2 048 (1, 024 + 1, 024) MB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)"but mine is at 266 MHz. "

    Thank you for helping me,

    Hello

    First of all your registration number is not a 'problem '. Maybe it s just a small mistake in their database. When I registered my P200 registration reported me another type as mine was, but after a call to the hotline of toshiba told me, that my machine is listed correctly in the database.
    Don t worry, register just she.

    With regard to the RAM:

    Do you know why's called it 'DDR' ram? That means 'RAM memory' and the goal is to double the frontsidebus.

    In your case, that means: the REAL AND PHYSICAL frontsidebus is 266 Mhz, but because the flow is double you have a 533 MHz frontsidebus (532, 34.Mhz).
    CPU - Z and WCPUID are simply display the physical clock of the RAM, but the frontsidebus double the signal and then you pure and authentic to 533 MHZ.

    I hope I could explain something to you. ;)

  • Satellite A100 good question - point yellow question mark in Device Manager

    I have a Satellite A100, model PSAANC - 3605C. I reloaded Windows XP Professional on this subject recently, and now I am unable to get any sound (it worked before reloading). If I choose Start, accessories, entertainment, Volume, it tells me that there is no active mixers available. I tried to reload the chipset and different audio drivers, including the UAA driver, still no luck.

    In addition, in my device manager I have a PCI device that shows as not available (point), and I'm unable to load a driver for him. What Miss me? How can I get my sound back?

    > I recently rebooted Windows XP Professional on this topic, and now I am unable to get any sound (it worked before reloading)

    Hey mate I got exactly the same problem after installing Win XP.
    I could solve it.

    I updated Windows XP to the State. I installed SP3 because this package contains the necessary corrective measures.

    Important: The SP3 must be installed before the sound driver!
    If you have installed the audio driver, you must first remove it! This can be done in Device Manager

    I did it and it worked.

    I think you're now not being able to choose one in a specific country manufactured machine (such as Japan), because it s not overviewable.

    I need help to upgrade my A100-334 to vista!
    I use the disks provided by toshiba. It is said that the new Bios is already installed (vers.5.60).

    After running the second drive it says I need to uninstall Driver driver/BD DVD-RAM and Toshiba configfree.

    Then he said that the following issues will not prevent the upgrade of the execution but that some applications or elements may not work properly. The list is long.

    Here are some examples:
    Diagnostic tool for TOSHIBA, Sun Java Scheduler, TOSHIBA controls, Bluetooth TOSHIBA Power saver settings and so on.

    It is recommended to uninstall all of these objects?
    What can I do?

    I appreciate any help thanks - Detlef

    Hi Detlef

    Well, what to say if I understand your question you didn t make a new, clean install Vista, but you tried to upgrade the full XP to Vista.

    I don't wonder that this doesn't update good conduct and that you get notifications on the tools and driver compatibility issues.

    The fact is that many drivers, tools and utilities that are designed for the operating system XP don t run on the Vista operating system. That is why it s necessary and desirable to remove any programs that are not compatible with Vista!

    In my opinion, you must perform a clean installation of Vista, and then you can download and install all the drivers Toshiba Vista required and utilities.

    Best regards and greetings to Germany ;)

  • Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

    Hello

    > My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

    I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
    I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

    You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18

  • Satellite A100-225: Question about upgrade up to 4 GB of RAM

    I'm confused. Very confused.

    I myself have an A100-225 and browse the documentation, I noticed that even if it comes with 1 GB DDR2 533 Mhz RAM, the maximum memory (RAM?) system upgrade it will take is cited as an impressive 4 Gb 'Cool' think me "I wonder where this is going?".

    Now, I had computers laptops apart before--and rebuilt a little - and I have never seen one with more than 2 RAM slots. So knowing that the greatest single chip RAM you can buy for a laptop (commercially) is 1 GB, I think that there must be four locations. Open the back... No, just the usual two.

    So any ideas what I'm missing here? I've had a scout around the site of Tosh and watching it - http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=116145 -.

    I see the same boot - 4 GB maximum of extension. Exactly how do you what to do next? Or am I confused with something else?

    Help. And thank you all.

    Hi guys

    Of course, memory 2 GB modules are available right now and not in the future.
    You have to search only in the net for memory 2 GB PC2 - 4200 DDR2 - 533 SODIMM.
    To my knowledge this unit supports the PC2-4200 DDR2-533 SODIMM these modules and modules are available for example on the Kingston site.

    Nice day

    1 year ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba A100-491.
    Now, I noticed for about a month the battery working time amounts to only about 20 min. So I wanted to watch it once in the Internet, how the time of the battery of my laptop is with distribution.

    Under this side I did then also found.
    http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=de&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 123290

    Technology: Lithium-ion battery maximum running time: until 02:00 (mobile Mark) HR.
    For me, it is clear that the battery working time decreases, after awhile, but around over a year and a half hours, I find already strange.

    What should I do now?

    Many greetings, JaPf

    Hello

    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
    This means that if you run some heavy performance applications like games, video or graphics programs, then the battery performance would decrease very quickly.

    But if you use common applications like word, or you can navigate on the internet then the laptop should work a little longer.
    In this case, something might be wrong with your battery and the battery should be checked and replaced.
