Satellite A100 - low Windows Vista performance index

Hey there,

I bought a Toshiba Satellite A100 just for more than a year now with Vista Home Premium. I recently formatted the laptop and installed Vista Business. When I got Home Premium, my 'Windows experience index' (found in Control Panel > system) has been a 3.0 for the graphics. Under Business, is however now that 1.0. I guess that it has not detected the graphics hardware on my laptop.

How do it detects hardware?

> I guess that it has not detected the graphics hardware on my laptop.

I put t know what do you say that it has not detected the graphic material, but you should definitely check out if the graphic and other driver drivers Toshiba have been installed on your laptop properly.

In addition, the Windows Vista experience index can change and can go down if more programs are installed on the system.
I noticed that my Windows Vista performance index decreases every time if a 3rd party application has been installed and then removed from the system.

In my opinion, Windows Vista index experience might be less because you have installed a newer version of the Vista operating system which contains functions of Vista more and so would need of more resources.

Best regards

  • Satellite A100 - 192 Windows Vista USB low speed

    Hello

    I installed vista on A100-192, I configured everything correctly, all the drivers installed, but the USB transfer speed is totally low and when hollow transfring usb I have sound and video form. / CPU usage is 100 percent when data transfer from my camera or compact flash. Same thing with the PCMCIA card.
    On windows xp, it worked great!
    I guess it's something about drivers, because when I connect my hard drive usb hollow it works very well/windows sees it as a hard drive, but when I connect something else, and windows sees it as a removable drive - about low speed starts :/

    Any idea on how to solve this problem?

  • Satellite P200-1FZ: Question about Vista performance index?

    I recently bought a P200D-128 announced as having 256 MB of memory graphic dedicated only to find only has a HD2400 with 128 MB card (the name must have been an idea, I know).

    I was looking for a model with 256 MB I had read that it was recommended for good graphics performance in Vista.
    On the P200-128 model Vista performance index showed:

    Processor: 4.8
    Memory: 5.9
    Graphics: 3.3
    Games graphics: 3.7
    Hard drive: 5.2

    If the overall score of 3.3 seems not be limited by the graphics performance.

    I now plans to upgrade this model to a P200-1FZ (which has a HD2600 with 256 MB memory card), but would like to know if it significantly improves the score of graphics and Vista performance index.

    If anyone has this model (or a relative) and could tell me the VEI score, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Just FYI: I Satellite P200D-111 with ATI Mobility Radeon X 2600 almost 5 months now. I use Vista Home Premium and to be honest, I'm quite satisfied with the performance of Vista. Up to now, I also tested with several games such as Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4, El Matador and older games like FarCry and Max Payne 2 WXP. It works perfectly.

    I like Call of Duty 4. He funs all simply fantastic. I do not even use complete running. At the moment I think to upgrade RAM to have better running OS. in the end, I can say one thing: for the reasonable price, I have large notebook.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

    Hello

    cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
    Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

    Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

    First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
    After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

    Simple disc burning layer without problem.

    Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
    Thank you
    Luci

    Hello

    tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

    I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

    Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

  • Qosmio G50-12 X - Windows 7 performance index decreased

    After having changed the HARD and WIN7 32-bit drive to SSD and Win7 64 bit Windows Experience Index decreased:
    for processor - 6.1 to 3.9
    for memory (RAM) - 5.9-4.5.

    This isn't good, is it?
    Does anyone know what might be a reason?
    Does anyone have the same problem?

    All the official drivers for Win7 64 (chipset, video, etc.), tried to install different versions for other OS-did not help.
    PC: Qosmio G50-12 X (PQG55E).

    You have changed the system to 32 bit to 64 bit.
    There is a difference between 64-bit and 32-bit system and therefore the performance index will also be different.

    To be honest, I don t care about clean internal Windows experience index.
    Firstly this Index isn't very useful because any change in the system may affect the unique results. So the results are not very significant.

    If you want to get more details about Windows 7 performance index, I recommend this MS site:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/Windows-experience-index

    However, the upgrade of the SSD HARD drive is the best decision you could ever made.
    I also changed the HARD drive to SSD drive and the performance gain is huge

  • Satellite A100 - starts Windows

    Without changing anything, my Satellite A100 starts Windows.

    A screen with Windows foutherstel (failure recovery) gives two options; Start windows normally and start recovery. When I push the first option, there is a quick blue screen, which disappears too quickly to read the music. Finally the resumption of failure screen comes back. in the alternative, there is a system that is said; Recovery Options screen It cannot start the program installated. Click Ok to shut down the computer.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hi hans_3,

    Maybe something has confused the Windows registry or some important system files and thus, you can t more to start Windows or start the system repair option.

    I think in this case it of necessary to reinstall Windows. Therefore, you can take the Toshiba recovery disc that brings your computer back settings factor o where all the drivers and tools are already installed but it erases the entire HARD disk.
    It only takes a few minutes and needs just a few clicks.

    Good luck! :)

  • My Satellite A200 - 1 GB scored 4.7 Windows Vista Performance Rating

    Hi all

    I run a Performance Rating in Windows Vista yesterday.

    It is excellent!
    Base score was 4.7 (overall rating)

    Under Scores as follows:

    {color: #0000ff}
    Processor calculations: 4.9
    Memory :4.8
    Aero Glass graphics: 4.7
    Games graphics: 4.7
    HARD drive: 4.7 {color}

    I'm thrilled about my new A200 - 1 GB.
    I found his performance is very good with Win Vista.

    Thanks again for Toshiba!

    Dear friends... Send comments on this...

    Kind regards

    Updates will not increase this Vista scores!
    I noticed that each new installation of driver or the application decreases the score.

    I found lots of useful information on other computers and websites vista and it seems that is nothing unusual. It seems all the operating systems and the modification of the registry entry has a bad influence on this Vista partition.

    Need simply s Vista ;)

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA9A) and Vista DVD maker problem

    I just got windows ultimate on my laptop that I got about 2 and a half years and he says about this Windows Vista capable. So I have to drop out and everything but when I open something like Vista DVD maker, he says that my video card meets the minimum requirements.

    Check my driver and it says Standard VGA graphics card? Strange huh? So went on Notebook driver downloads > Satellite > A100 (PSAA9), but then he only gave me the opportunity to PSAA9E and I need A at the end.

    In any case I put t know whether or not that counts, but I downloaded the driver and check the update driver > Browse pilot, first of all it only let me not click Desktop and didn t let me inside the office even with submenu.

    So I just clicked next and guess what! After all that palaver he said the pilot has the last updated and doesn t need to be installed but it obviously hasn't t because it's model is something starting with 6 and the driver Vista I want download it something starting with 7, so I'm really stuck and really help.

    Thank you

    Hello

    At the bottom of the unit, you should find the name of detailed; something like Satellite A100 - xxx PSA.

    Could you please post this number and name?

    The A100 is certainly capable of Vista, but this does not mean that you can use all the features of Vista.
    My other laptop manufacturer is Vista capable, but for example the doesn t run Vista Aero due to the performance of the weak graphics card.

    Creating Windows DVD is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

    Check this box:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/dvdmaker.mspx

    In any case, the graphics driver on the right must be installed to ensure that such feature Vista can run correctly.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Have you updated the BIOS? Check the Toshiba site for a newer version.

    Also try an update of the firmware of the router. You can find it on the site of the factory.

    Last but not least, you must disable the security features of the router for the test. I mean hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so far.

    Also, make sure that the option of the energy-saving WLAN card is disabled:

  • Want to VGA drivers for Satellite A100-033 under Vista Edition basic family

    I have a Satellite A100-033 which runs Windows Vista Home Basic. The main video driver is an Intel 945 chipset. However, I would like to install a regular VGA driver. It's because I have a software which requires mode full-screen. The Intel chipset will not allow this, but the VGA video driver did. So far I was able to access the VGA driver on my laptop, via customize / displaysettings / monitor /, which would allow me to select a VGA driver from a list of device drivers that was introduced to me. However, this option has been removed from the list of options. How can I find the VGA driver on my laptop, or download another?

    Hello

    I'm a bit confused of Mr. I put t know exactly what you want to do, but the graphics card driver can be updated and install through the Device Manager.
    Simply access the Device Manager, select the graphics card and install or update the graphics driver.

    Some graphics drivers cannot be installed automatically. In this case you should install it manually.
    This means that you must assign the source of graphics card driver manually.

    Not enough information to answer. Please indicate all your scores rating experience. your base score is the minimum of all partitions. This will indicate the area in which you need to improve.

    In all likelihood, it's your 8400GS which is probably causing your low score. I have a 8300 IGP, which scored 3.5 on the graphics, because that is all just powerful enough to run Aero. The 8400GS is roughly equivalent:

    But were able to boot the laptop from USB using a cutter (lite) version of windows.

    The scene in the article copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system fails because the file does not exist (the other files do however).

    In this folder there is a system.bak, this would solve the problems like the laptop boots windows logo screen then after 5 minutes restarts and just go around and around a certain extent.

    There is also a file system.sav in the folder windows\system32\config using this all goes someway to to solve the problem, the laptop restarts and resumes product set-up with off course fails has so I don't have the recovery disk.

    I would be grateful if someone could help with the problem

    > but the warning in the article on the point is not to use with circumspect OEM on more facilities of he made me.

    You can ignore this warning, you have no other choice than to try to fix this system following the article in the Microsoft Knowledge base.

    But to be honest, I doubt that the system would run smoothly after this work around.

    I would recommend the new installation of the OS.
    If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can use a Microsoft Disk to reinstall the system. Essential drivers are available Toshiba driver Web site.
