  Hi all

  I have the Satellite A100-784, which comes with Vista Home...
  How could I make another copy of the DVD from my recovery disc?

  Also, I don't have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator... is downloadable?

  Hello

  You n t have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator, because this Toshiba Software is preinstalled on laptops equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
  I presume that you have received a Toshiba Recovery disk this laptop doesn t allow HARD drive recovery.
  Therefore, you cannot create a new DVD of recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator.

  What you could do is to copy the supplied recovery disk.

  Help me, please.

  Hello

  essentially it s possible to install an of a real CD of XP/Vista OS, I think that this is the reason why Toshiba provides drivers on their driver download site.

  How do you mean that the screen remains black? More precisely, the description would be better...
  Another question: what SATA controller did you slipstreamed on the XP CD? I hope that you´re to the topic the A100 has an older controller (should be an ICH7M).

  Hello. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit, and I have the following problems.

  1. they replace me the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it more because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?

  2. whenever I turn on the laptop touchpad scrolling does not work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver. If you have installed another pointing PS/2 device driver please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. You want to uninstall the synaptics driver now? "I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.

  3. whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

  If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

  > I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.
  Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

  It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

• Toshiba Satellite A100-683 - display resolution of 1280 x 800

  Hallo,

  I just had an upgrade from Windows Xp to Windows 7.

  I downloaded and installed all the drivers for this model of Toshiba web site, including the ATI mobility radeon X 1600 driver and the Mobile Intel (r) 945 GM Express Chipset controller 0.

  Later, while trying to set the resolution of the screen, I realized that I could only choose between 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, but I don't know that before the operation I could put also the resolution of 1280 x 800 (maximum display resolution). In fact, the display resolution was much better than now.

  Can you help me please? How can I return to the maximum display resolution?

  Thank you very much in advance and greetings.

  Antonio

  Once more here to add some details: I tried to install the ATI mob. rad + Nvidia drivers, which can be downloaded from this site for Satellite A100-683 + windows 7 display.
  The second (Nvidia) seems to be the right one, as stated in the description (improves the features of the screen and allows different settings, etc.), but it doesn't seem to work.

  Any help? Thanx

• Re: Satellite A100-283 - 16:9 display on external monitor resolution

  Hello

  I just got an old Toshiba Satellite A100-283 and tried to connect it to a TFT 22 ". Somehow, it seems that this laptop graphics card does not support the external screen such as 1920 x 1080 resolutions. I find 16:9 1920 x 1440 resolutions and such but not at all.
  Is - anyone here know if there is a way to get this notebook running on an external display in 16:9?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hey Buddy,

  You can change the screen resolution to the 16:9 format when you remove the brand to hide modes that this monitor cannot display as [THIS | http://blog.wildvista.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lightroom_hide_modes-340x400.png] photo?

• Satellite A100 - wireless/network not working not

  Hi all I'm new here and even though I think I know a little about PC I seem to forget that I have learned.

  I have a lappy Satellite A100, which was connected to a home network wireless and worked very well. After travel further using another wireless USB device, I would return home put on wireless and connection obtained immediately.

  On a recent trip to Bali, I discovered that there are free hot spots wireless everywhere, however I had problems with the connection on trying to connect and could hang, past my expertise so went to a guy who has tinkered with Lappy I wss then you connect wherever I went, great, until the return to the House.

  Put on wireless and cannot connect, I tried everything and had to resort to a cable connection.

  I noticed when you use Toshiba cordless tool it is to see the connection to the router, but stops to Lappy with!

  It has been considered a clean install, but this seems drastic.

  * Help please *.

  Using XP or Vista?

  Try this:

  (1) what a reception/interference problem? Try moving the laptop or a Wifi access Point

  (2) download and install the latest wireless drivers from the Web from Toshiba site

  (3) try to disable the Windows Firewall or your 3rd party firewall

  (4) use static IP addresses, instead of using the DHCP (dynamic IP address)

  (5) update the Firmware of your Wifi access Point. (download from the manufacturer's website)

• TR/agent.1220467 detected as I ran that Satellite A100 PSAA2E BIOS update file

  I was about to update my BIOS Toshiba laptop Satellite A100 PSAA2E on-site official (I downloaded the update file and unpacked to run it):
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_b * ios.jsp? service = EU
  When my antivirus (Avira Antivir Personal) has detected a TR/agent.1220467

  Of course, I stopped everything, asked to remove, Avira have another full scan, it was deleted again and restarted my PC.

  I am always very careful with what I download, but as I trusted blindly the official site of Toshiba as being safe, I don't run a virus scan on the file update and stupidly flat it once it has been downloaded.
  HOW CAN TOSHIBA HAVE INFECTED FILES TO UPDATE HIS SITE? This is really unacceptable.

  And now how I will:
  1. ensure that this virus is gone for good?
  2. switch to update my BIOS knowing that it is not safe to do?

  Please help me!
  .. .and make sure that this file to update the BIOS is not infecting hundreds of other users!

  Hello

  Don t worry buddy there is no virus
  The BIOS file is safe and I guess that your virus scan recognized the file as a virus because of the similar application procedures

  First of all you should not update your BIOS if your laptop works well!

  Second, you must disable all 3 rd party applications like virus, firewall, malware, software software of scans, while the BIOS update!
  These tools can affect or interrupt the process of updating the BIOS and the laptop cannot!

  You know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and if something goes wrong during the update, then you will not be able to power the device!

• Satellite A100-062 - connect via HDMI LCD monitor

  Hello

  I wish I could connect my laptop Satellite A100-062 to LCD TV.
  The TV has a HDMI input. I understand that I could get a cable to connect DVI to HDMI, but I'm not sure I'd be able to output/DVI laptop computer.

  Is it possible to connect the laptop to a TV LCD with HDMI? If so, how would that be better achieved? Do I need a series of cables converters?

  Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated.
  Concerning
  Ben milk

  Hello

  As much as I know this laptop can't stand out DVI, or HDMI port.
  It supports only s-video and RGB (monitor) output port.

  My Satellite phone supports a HDMI port output. The external monitor supports DVI and HDMI.
  I connected my laptop via a DVI-HDMI laptop/DVI HDMI cable on my monitor.

  I don't know if there is a RGB to HDMI adapter I doubt m
  But I found another solution;
  You can use a cable S-video to SCART and was able to connect the converter as Lindy - SCART to HDMI between laptop and TV or LCD display.
  This converter is not cheap, but it s about 120Euros

• Satellite A100 - ODD can't read Win7 installation CD

  I have a pro satellite and the satellite a100. I bought a disc of microsoft to replace XP with windows 7 on the a100.

  The a100 dvd player will not recognize the drive of w7 but he reads audio and video discs very well.

  The satellite pro recognizes the drive of w7 so I think there may be a problem with the dvd-a100 player or its parameters. Can anyone help please?

  Hello

  There is nothing wrong with the settings because there is no special parameters to read a disc.
  If the optical drive does not read the disc, then the disc or the CD/DVD drive isn't OK.

  As the disc works in relation to another optical disc drive, I suppose that the s drive laser lens can not handle support for Windows 7.

  According to my experience of the issues may appear due to the dirty laser lens.
  I recommend you to clean the laser lens using cotton tip and liquid alcohol.

  In many cases, this work around simply helped to get the drive recognized again.

• Satellite A100-811 - maximum memory capacity

  I have an old A100-811 Satellite with Windows XP SP3. It has 1 GB of memory (2 x 512). I want to improve the memory. What should I do?

  1. put another memory of 2 GB so the total is 2.5 GB (will I get in trouble for using two types of 512 MB and 2 GB memory?)

  2 put 2 x 1 GB total 2 GB (for better styling?)

  3. put 2 x 2 GB. But will I have the 4 GB memory full or only 3 GB because of the limitations of memory Win Xp?

  Do I need a BIOS update for this?

  Thanks in advance for any info!

  Hi skga100,

  The maximum capacity of RAM in Satellite A100-811 is 4 GB. This means that you can install 2 GB in each slot.

  Usually for Windows XP 2 GB is enough but I want to upgrade to Vista or Windows 7, you should think about 3 or 4 GB

  In your case, I would buy a 2GB memory module. If you are on the safe side.
  Why? If you want to install Vista or Windows 7 later, you can buy a second memory module and keep your 2 GB module. Who s the easiest way. :)

  And no, upgrading the BIOS is not necessary.

• Satellite A100-906 does not cool boot

  Hello
  I'm new here on the forum, so hi to everyone.
  I have this Toshiba Satellite A100-906, one I'm trying to fix and explain (because up to now, I tried a lot of things) the problem.
  It has Windows XP Pack 2 and every time that I perfom a Toshiba start log on the collar, but stops loading Windows. This only happens to the cold start, I mean after two-three times closing down and start again from the power button, I can stop and start the laptop normally.
  What I've tried (even have a tech): run the Test Mem, repair Windows registry, update bios, update drivers, reinstall OS form the recovery CD - NOTHING!

  Thanks in advance

  Hi marina_2,

  Which is really strange and I m wondering have you always this strange behavior after using the Toshiba recovery disc. Normally with this disc, you get back factory settings where everything should work properly.

  Well, I think that it s a hardware malfunction, but it is difficult to tell what it is exactly. You can try to check the disk with Drive Fitness Test or another tool (ask Google for it).

  Contacting one ASP would also be an option I think

• Satellite A100 - problem with the operation of the battery

  Hello!

  My laptop (I bought 1.5 years ago) has a big problem when you use with the battery.
  First of all, with a fully charged battery, the notification of "limited battery status" appears after 2 minutes of operation and after 5 minutes, he goes to the standby mode due to the level of the battery is very low.

  Then, I plug it into the AC power and the battery remains yellow for about 15 minutes light and then turns blue.
  (The battery is OK, I tested it on another satellite A100)

  What can be the problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Maria

  Given that you have tested the battery in another satellite A100, the problem must be in the settings of your computer:

  1 > START > CONTROL PANEL > POWER SELECT THE OPTIONS ICON

  2 > you will now see a screen that shows your management food and note * one * has a tick that is a small point in a circle:

• Not possible to burn a DVD on the Satellite A100-338 using Windows DVD Maker

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100. I'm trying to burn a DVD using Microsoft Windows DVD Maker and a Sony DVD - RW. The laptop has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA device.

  When I try to burn a DVD, a progress bar appears and is about 2% before the hanging.

  I also tried to format the DVD first, and which is progressing well before coming up with an error message saying that the drive could not be formatted.

  Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something completely obvious?

  Hello

  the following things could probably help you with your problem:

  -> control if a new BIOS for your machine and a new FIRMWARE update for your DVD player are available. Update the BIOS and the player firnware
  -> use another applications burning like Nero, CDBurnerXP or other thing that is usually know work well with almost all DVD - RW readers out there
  -> use a DIFFERENT brands of DVD media because the carpet * a readers are really picky

  If all these steps fail, then it is possible that your drive is defective and must be replaced.

  See you soon
