Satellite A100 (PSAA8) - Cannot play most of the games

Hello

my laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA8) cannot run most games like call of duty... I wonder if I can get a more powerful vga card and install it. Is this possible? And what I can get to the Middle East (Egypt).

Other improvements I need to increase its performance?

Hello

Unfortunately the video card cannot be improved. Only you can do is upgrade RAM, optimize the preinstalled operating system and play games that need power of video not so much.

Also try to play games with video settings below. Sorry, but that's all I can say about it.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8E: Cannot boot from USB after Bios Update

    Hello

    I downloaded the latest bios (v6) for my satellite a100 (psaa8e) and after the update of the old bios, I noticed that I can not boot from USB. Is there a way to restore the old bios or will this problem solved?

    See you soon
    MB

    And before you can update the BIOS you were able to start the bootable CD from the external optical drive USB drive facilities?

    To be honest I really don't believe it. Try to connect USB FDD and you will see that the FDD is recognized and you will be able to use it as first boot device.

  • Sound problems on the Satellite A100 (PSAA8)

    I constantly have sound with my Satellite A100 (PSAA8) computer laptop problems. While I hear the windows starting noise and beeps (most of the time), I hear no sound of things like Media Player, CD, DVD and iTunes. I get the following Media Player error message: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device... ».

    I have the standard pre-installed Realtek sound thing on my laptop that could be the problem, well in control panels, sounds, he says it works well. Also in Control Panel, sounds, most of the things are greyed out, so that I can t adjust the volume levels or even play sound noises.

    I tried to download a newer Realtek driver from Toshiba support center to see if that's the problem, but I don't know what to do with the zip file of the suggestions? Please, please, please can someone help?

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8: How to order the Toshiba XP-> Vista upgrade CD

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite A100 (psaa8)
    I found that a document indicates that I can move on to Vista and a link but it does not work.

    So can you please help me with this, I got bored of XP.

    I read that some members ordered a free vista CD.
    Can you tell me how to order and it is good or bad?

    Hello

    Remember that this offer is limited by the date! I think you're too late dude!
    But why you're bored? The XP is the OS really friendly and fully compatible with all 3rd party devices!
    Vista needs a lot more use as XP and runs slower than XP. If you want to play games on your laptop, I would recommend staying with XP! All games run faster under OS XP!

    You know the Vista Customization Pack? This allows you to use XP but it looks like a Vista.
    You know, the whole images, icons, etc. will transform the look of Vista.

    It s nice and for people who wants to change the old XP style new style Vista ;)

  • Satellite Pro L360-14F - cannot play videos on the external monitor

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L360-14F
    Video files as avi, flv, mp4 are played with SM-player etc on the screen of the laptop, but not on the external monitor attached.
    A newspaper there is the error message: MPlayer crashed by the bath OF CPU/FPU/RAM usage.

    Which may mean that?

    You already go to the external display by using the FN + F5 keys?
    To do this.

    In addition, you must go first to the external screen and then you need to start the windows media player or other video player.

    I advise to use the VLC Player. It s free fro and plays most of the files

  • Re: How to run the update to the BIOS of the DOS - Satellite A100 PSAA8A command prompt?

    I'm having some trouble with my GF Satellite A100 (PSAA8A). When installing a new HARD drive with a clean install of XP, I flashed by chance, one of the BIOS when installing drivers. Its kind of bricks now.

    Using a floppy disk CD boot, combined with the update of the V6.00 BIOS, I goes to a DOS command prompt, but not sure where to go now.

    Under * Tradional BIOS update *.
    See the link: [http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07]

    It is said:
    + 1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder. +
    + 2. Three subfolders will be generated in the temporary folder. "docs", "update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW +.
    + 3. Insert a 1.44 MB diskette formatted in the floppy disk drive. +
    + 4. Run the *.exe file in the folder "" Update - 3.5 disk ". Follow the instructions on the screen. A BIOS update diskette will be generated. +

    But there is no 3 folder. There is only a single called S10VWF that contains Winphlash etc. (see photo url). As far as I know, I can only run Winphlash Windows environment due to its GUI. Then what should I do? Help!

    Hi Brett

    There is a little thing that you have forgotten or supervised.

    The BIOS you downloaded is a version of BIOS to WIN. It s not traditional BIOS update!

    The description published in your ad describes the update using the traditional BIOS.
    But the Toshiba driver page only provides updates of BIOS based VICTORY. The BIOS can be upgraded only from Windows operating system running.

    Please don't mix these two possibilities of updates!

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA8): need driver for video controller

    Hello

    I bought a new Satellite A100 (PSAA8) and re-installed Windows XP Pro. I downloaded some drivers including Intel Display Driver and Flash Media Driver, etc. from the web and installed. But I can't find the driver for video controller, so I still have the questionmark beside the video controller in Device Manager. Do you know what kind of driver he is? Where I can download for the video controller & what driver?

    Thank you

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8: I can type uppercase when caps lock is disabled

    Hello

    (First: I am not good in English because I'm from Holland.)

    I own a Satellite A100 PSAA8, it used to work very well :)
    But in recent weeks, I have a weird keyboard problem.
    I can type only uppercase when caps lock is off and I can't type all numbers at all, and a full stop is a: > and a comma is:
    I thought it was a software problem, so I formatted the hard drive, then I tried the Toshiba recovery disc.

    But it did not work I get some errors with symbol of missing files (or something like that) then in the window appears: 0:000 and all that I type it does not work. Then I got the Windows XP Pro. CD, but when I get to the chapter when I fill out my serial number, I still can't type any number and only uppercase letters with the caps to the large lock.

    Then I (tried) to install Windows 2000 and still I can't type any number, etc. (but the drive is empty: S) then I insert a live CD of Ubuntu and Ubuntu keys work perfect (?). I just isn't getting it. Help, please!

    Hello Ikke

    Believe me it is not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem?
    Please check if the keyboard is recognized correctly in the Device Manager. Also, be sure that the language settings are right. So many reasons for possible software for not functional keyboard.

    It is also possible that there is hardware problem. Maybe is the faulty keyboard cable or controller on the keyboard. It is also possible that the keyboard itself is defective.

    In my opinion you should contact the service authorized in your country. They can test with brand new keyboard and see if the keyboard is defective.

  • What version of Vista can I take for Satellite A100 PSAA8?

    Hello

    I want to install windows vista instead of XP I have by default in my laptop Satellite A100 PSAA8.

    * should what version I go with * 64 - bit or 32 - bit *?
    * and what about x 86 and x 64!
    * can I find all the drivers in the download section for the new OS?
    * will there be any service or any component of non-working after installation?

    The new operating system will make additional efforts to every time re - install, I wish that I can have something similar for my PC recovery CD (+ with the install with the drivers also click +) but has windows vista, :-(

    Is there any solution to make it easier every time I re - install?

    _Thank you in advance. _

    Download page for Toshiba from your laptop is supported for Vista 32 bit. There you can find all the drivers, tools and utilities designed for Vista.
    There are also the Instructions facilities document. Use it to order good facilities.

    So what you need to do is to get the facilities of Microsoft Vista DVD.

  • Most of the games will not load and cannot see all the options.

    Original title: installation of Command and Conquer 'the first decade.

    Hello

    I recently installed first decade on my laptop running windows 7 64 bit. I can load the screen perfectly, but most of the games, I can not load except red alert 2 and even in this case I don't see any options. The only way I can see them is by pressing alt + Tab to go to my office then flow back into the game, but I think it's to do with the size of the screen, but I'm not sure. Other games work not at all except the storm and Tiberian Sun. These don't work if I click them restart the entire computer and load the game up and go straight to him.

    Whenever I click on other games, red alert bar 2, it asks me to insert the correct disc which is of course already in the machine
