  Hmm have you tried to reinstall / recover the laptop to see if it helps to solve this problem?
  In my opinion you should try it because it could be a problem in the system.

  Otherwise if new system installation / restore does not help you, it could be a malfunction of the equipment.

  Hi all
  I'm after a bit of advice/help. I have a satellite A100 & after its been on during an extended period with no keyboard (like DVD burning), the screen is empty. It does not matter the keys on which I support on I can't get it back. The only way to get out of what I've found is to reboot the machine.

  You have the apparent corruption of dbx files, but an easy solution.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
  http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

  Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

  Compact often as specified above.

  And backup often.

• LCD screen turns off after a few minutes

  My screen turns off after a few minutes, even if the parameters to be able to say that he should turn off after 60 minutes of no activity.  Before this date should activate the screensaver after 10 minutes of no activity.  But in my case the active screensaver ever and my right monitor fades to black.  What can I do to fix this?  Is there a registry setting that has changed I don't know?

  -penciline

  I checked power options, the first thing, and then I checked the (NVIDIA) graphics card Control Panel to see if there is a setting for it.  The figures that I had in my previous post came from my power options, but I don't know how standard power who do not have the numbers that it would affect the schedule/performance options.  I went to advanced settings.  But I also rebooted my computer which solved the problem, in my opinion.  I'll have to sit and wait to be sure, but I'll get back to you on that once I have test.

• Inspiron 9300 screen turns off after the Windows Logo screen

  Inspiron 9300 my wife became severely infected.  I thought I had some weird things start popping up of the problem decided to wipe the hard drive and start over.  Unfortunately, I don't have to restore disks when I bought the computer.  I install windows xp pro service pack 2 full retail version.

  Installation was not a problem until I installed the driver ATI Mobility x 300.  I followed directions for installation from the website, do the installation of xp followed of the dell system software update followed of chipset followed video driver.  After that whenever I put on, the screen turns off after the Windows Logo.  The computer is still running and if I plug an external monitor everythng is fine.

  I tried all the troubleshooting tips I've seen in this forum.  I did a full install twice. made of safety boots (all right), started in VGA mode (works fine), I ran diagnostics from fn on startup, including express, extended and video tests and they pass all the controls.  I'm sure it's a software problem, but have been unable to solve.  I've updated the ATI bios although when I run it says already installed and done one installs x 300 driver on 6 ttimes own.

  I know it must be something simple that I'm missing. My system is the Inspiron 9300 with 2 GB of ram and the mobility x 300 card.  Any help would be appreciated.

  
  

• Monitor may not turn off after setting the screen turns off after a period of inactivity

  Original title: control screen does not turn off

  My cell phone 6 year old runs today to Win XP Pro and IE7 and Firefox. My screen has been set to turn off after 15 minutes, but these days he keeps any. It stays ON all day.

  Attempted to solve by setting to turn off in 10 minutes, but it makes no difference, what could be the problem?

  TIA

  First of all, you don't want to do the hardware updates through the Microsoft Update Website.

  Secondly, there are a couple ways you can do this:

  1. go in the Device Manager (start > Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > Device Manager).    tedious, but this way you are sure.

  Double-click each item, having developed each sign, select the driver tab and choose Update driver, let windows search automatically, make sure that you are connected to the internet.  Do this for each item that you want to search for updated drivers.

  2. go in the manufacturer's website. For example, I use a Dell Dimension and move the driver Dell downloads Web site.

  If you mean hardware upgrade from Microsoft (not Windows which is software) you would search Microsoft.com site for driver downloads.

  Hope this helps, after back with your results, please.

• Satellite A210 - 17L - screen turns off

  Hello people,

  I have a similar problem to [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=61255&tstart=15], screen turns off by itself randomly, but backlight remains lit and laptop always seems to work (judging by fan). This started after upgrading Vista to Windows 7 (new installation), there was no problem before. I tried to update the display driver, first ATI Catalyst, then Toshiba official one, the customer pays less often, but still doesn't work, it's nice embarrassing ;) It occurs regardless if the laptop is used or just slowed down and is not caused by overheating or saving energy, also cell is generally connected with mounted battery.

  I have the last opportunity to go and update the BIOS, but I'm in fear of bricking the thing, so he would try as a last resort.

  Any idea guys?

  Thank you

  Hello

  There is an easy way to solve this problem: connect an external monitor and check what happens. If everything is ok on the external monitor installation (Windows) and internal monitor are ok, the problem must be internal monitor itself.

  If it s the monitor itself it s inverter FL, LCD cable or LCD itself. That s is not easy to say on this virtual path for your laptop needs to be checked to an authorized service provider. Guys can make an accurate diagnosis.

• Y450 screen turns off after 5 minutes, set to never power settings

  The display on my Y450 turns off after 5 minutes if it is connected or not. I changed the power settings on all levels of the power to never turn off the display, but he keeps doing. I thought that maybe it had something to do with windows is not fully updated so I did it earlier today, but it has not changed. It doesn't matter whether the system is energy saving, balanced or a custom.

  I don't know what to do to stop it, but it's annoying when I play videos and turn the screen on every 5 minutes. Is there another program I'm missing that somehow overrides the power settings?

  You may also need to change the power settings for the windows power management and lenovo power management.

  We also know, that the problem persists only watch movies?

• Latitude D610 screen turns off after the Windows XP loading screen

  I'm having a problem with my Latitude D610 where after the Windows XP loading screen, the screen turns off completely. No BSOD, no login screen, just a white screen. This started happening at least a year, however, I bought a new computer if it is passed to the hatch. I tried the system restore when it appeared first without success. The computer starts in Mode safe. Any suggestions?

  If it starts in mode without failure, then its almost certainly a driver and with the blank screen problem, I suspect a display driver.

• Satellite A100: USB and Modem does not

  Hello!

  My name is Clarisse and I have a Satellite A100, which I use for school. I'm having a problem with its usb ports and modem.
  When I try to connect to the internet, he just say he of no tone and tells me to ensure that lines are connected, who they are and the phone line works certainly, as I checked with my PC and I also checked the phone if it was busy, it wasn't.

  I then try again and a window appears and says that there is something wrong with my modem, how can I fix?

  The other issue is my usb ports who refuse to work, they can't recognize anything I plug (for example, bluetooth adapter, flashdisk, ipod) even though they are installed!

  However, the strange thing is that when I plug in my printer it connects and does its job:(je suis tellement confus et scolaires est devrait commencer bientôt.)

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you
  Clarisse

  Hello

  In my opinion the modem connection does not work due to the modem settings.
  Go to Device Manager and select the properties of the modem.
  Please select the Modem tab. You will find the option "wait tone before dialing." You must disable (uncheck) this option.

  I guess that the USB ports cannot recognize the external USB ports because of the power.
  The USB ports provide 500mA. It is a standard USB. If external devices use a power greater than 500 ma, so it is possible that the device may not be recognized.

  In such cases, the USB hub with an external power supply can solve these problems.

• 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.
