Satellite A100 - resolution custom without driver?

Hello
This may sound weird but I just thought it would be great if it worked.

The thing is that my laptop has problems to start due to a default graphics card, IF the driver is enabled. For now I can't play the games or anything that requires a graphics card, but I can still use it to draw etc, until I have repair.

My problem is that when I draw something, it actually does not show how it looks 'really' because resolutions possible only windows offers me are a little distorted (a circle looks like for me to circle, but others see an oval, you get the point?)

So is there any software or anything else that can help me with that?

I'm grateful for any help!

Thanks a lot for the comments

  • Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

    I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

    A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

    And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

    Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

    Hello

    Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
    It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

    The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
    Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)

  • Satellite A100 PSAAKL: need video driver WXP

    I got my Vista A100 (PSAAKL-00E002) which i had bought from the Malaysia to XP Media Center Edition and I could not install the video driver.

    I tried to download the most recent catalyst for ATI, which one for XP support center but the driver will not be installed. I tried to download different drivers from ati. One message said I had to first install the VGA driver.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance

    You shouldn't t use graphics card ATI drivers because these drivers don't support the overheating GPU, and therefore installation fails.

    You must choose the GPU driver from the Toshiba page.
    This is a page of European driver of Toshiba;
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Seems that your laptop supports a * ATI Radeon X 1400 * graphics chip.
    Many A100 were delivered with the same graphics card.
    Check what Satellite A100 European notebooks were equipped with this card and try to install the graphics driver.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A100-290 (PSAA8) LAN driver cannot be installed

    Hello together!

    I just bought a Satellite A100 - 290 (PSAA8) and tried to install the Ethernet controller and network with no result. Prof. WinXP can't find the driver.

    I downloaded the Chipset utility, installed, but this is not enough. I still have the questionmark next to these devices in Device Manager.

    The LAN drivers I downloaded seem not to be good, because windows cannot install them.

    I tried to reinstall the Chipset stuff (but it just says: "full"), but it does not work.

    Could you please help me?

    Hello

    Which driver did you use and where did you download this driver?
    On the Toshiba driver page, you will also find installation instructions.
    You must follow this order!
    On the page are also 2 placed LAN drivers.
    8.0.21.101 and 9.0.24 version. You should check them both. Maybe one of them will work

    In your Satellite A100 HDD is SATA 1 and it was delivered with 120 GB max.
    I tested my old Satellite M70 260 GB SATA HARD drive and it works perfectly, so I think that you can now pass HDD with up to 300 GB for example.
    Attention to not only Toshiba HDD but high quality product from any other HARD drive manufacturer.

  • Satellite A100-049 - CD ROM drive is more noticed

    My satellite A100-049 can't see my CD rom drive, it will not automatically play all discs, and when I double click on a shortcut to a program that uses a disc says "couldn't find any cd-rom drive.

    I tried updating the driver but I already have the most up to date. It was fine yesterday, until I installed Norton 360 - I don't know if this has anything to do with it. My operating system is vista Home premium.

    I really need help quickly I go to University in less than 3 weeks and the cd rom drive is vital for my class.

    Hi Michael

    It s very strange that your CD/DVD drive not working anymore after installing Norton 360. To me, it seems that Norton 360 has changed some registry keys and so the reader is malfunctioning.

    I recommend to remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
    Then, restart the laptop. After the restart new BONE windows should recognize the new hardware (CD/DVD drive) and must install it again.
    Then start the registry and delete the upper and lower filter values from this registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Then restart and try again!

    Good luck and congrats dude ;)

  • Satellite A100-TA6 - Windows XP Driver needed.

    Expensive Clubs,

    I need * Toshiba Satellite A100-TA6 * (PSAA8C-TA620C) drivers for Microsoft Windows XP SP2.
    I lost my driver files. Please help me.

    Best regards

    Great

    Hey Hadisch

    What wrong with you? You can find the drivers in 2 minutes, but what do you ask this simple question here and wait. It must be more comfortable. Am I right about that?

    So let's ' s logically do: If you have a model of cell US drivers are available on US support page. For a European model to support European page but if you have a Canadian model laptop please visit Toshiba Canada support page and try to find your laptop model and all the drivers available for Windows XP Home edition.

    So either search only or we say what country you purchased your laptop.

  • Satellite A660 - chkdsk partitions without drive letters

    Toshiba computers are equipped with 4 partitions. I looked at the characteristics of the partition by using the following text:
    -Disk management
    -PowerQuest Partition Table Editor
    -Codes of partition Type to the
    http://www.win.Tue.nl/~AEB/partitions/partition_types-1.html

    The partitions are:

    1. type: 0 x 27 (hidden Windows recovery environment partition)
    Size: 1.46 Gio
    Disk Management labels: healthy (Active partition, Recover)

    2. type: 0 x 07 NTFS
    Size: Hundreds of GiB
    Disk Management labels:
    Healthy (start, page file, crash dump, primary Partition)

    3. type: 0 x 17 (hidden internal file system
    Size: 22.37 GiB
    Disk Management labels: healthy (Primary Partition)

    4. type: 0 x 17 (hidden internal file system
    Size: 12.83 GiB
    Disk Management labels: healthy (Primary Partition)

    I also have a paltry 1.x space unallocated after partition 4 GiB.

    2,3,4 partitions are type 0 x 07 and 0 x 17, which are well described in the http://fixunix.com/help/9334-what-hidden-ifs-e-g-hpfs-0x17.html. Both are internal files (IFSs) systems, but 0x07 redisplays while 0 x 17 is hidden. IFSs appear to be dependent on OS:
    -HPFS (OS/2)
    -NTFS (Windows)
    -Advanced unix or QUNX2. X (pre-1988)

    Trade here and elsewhere, the feeling is that partition 1 is boot & RPS, while scores 3 & 4 are for creating recovery discs (which do not come with the laptop), for the recovery of disk-less in the case where you do not have (or have access to) discs recovery and for other languages versions of recovery. Partition 2 is simply C-drive and contains the operating system. When the ghost images, I use SRP switches for partition 1, and the clone satisfied tests properly, start creating recovery discs and do it without recovery disk.

    1,3,4 partitions have no readers of the letter. So I was wondering if I can still use chkdsk (and if I can do it for all partitions at once, so much the better). I surfed and found info on the award letters to partitions, but this option is grayed out in disk management. I am also concerned by the effects of the assignment of the letters on the functions of these readers. Disk management, partitions, volumes, file systems - things I never really knew subject before having to clone (motivated by a fear of failed to start).

    What model of laptop do you have?
    Are you using the original pre-installed OS?
    Open disk management and please send us the screenshot.

    I put t know why is this so important chkdsk for you but if you want to change something in the structure of the partitions of HARD disk create recovery disc in first.

    Hello guys,.

    I want to thank all the people in the forum, that we provide solutions and always good advice.
    Regarding my question, I hope it won't be so boring.

    I have a Toshiba A100-906 and I think to buy a new external drive.
    I'm between Seagate and Hitachi. You can work on them in the links above.

    What is the best for your opinion?

    Thank you very much for your time and I'm truly sorry once again for my annoying messages.

    The two hard drives seems to be not not a bad choice.

    Both are supported the same size (200 GB) and speed (7200 RPM).

    So I would recommend taking the cheaper ;)

  • Satellite A100: update the display driver

    My laptop is equipped with an Ati Radeon X 1600 graphics card. I tried to update the driver, so I downloaded the 2 drivers who agree to my system. My problem is the same for both drivers:
    If I try to install the driver by double-clicking the "Setup.exe" I get an error message: something about the very large number of characters in the installation folder (it is written in Greek, and I don't know how to translate).
    If I try to install the driver by using the Device Manager-> maps-> update driver procedure (by following the instructions on http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ6701IN000GR01.htm) I get a "file not found" message on the files.
    I thought to uninstall all Ati drivers and then the installation of the new, but what happens if the problem persists?
    Help, please!

    Hi Doc

    I didn t understand where you found these updates. On the download page of Toshiba or ATI?

    If you download drivers on the Toshiba download page, please be sure that you have chosen the right laptop (PSAxxx) model.
