Satellite A100: Scratches appeared - performance down

• 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 A100-545 when read no matter what audio work for example DVD CD or say Skype, MSM etc. sound intermittently slowing down for a few seconds then returns to normal, I downloaded the latest audio drivers.

  Hello

  Eventually it s only a matter of wrong setting.
  Toshiba virtual audio utility should be preinstalled on this laptop.
  Here, you can change some parameters such as the configuration of low frequency or high frequency sounds configuration

  I have sought similar questions in this forum and on the Satellite A100, sound problems has been resolved by updating the BIOS, then the audio driver.
  I don't know if this will help, but if the new version is available, you can try to update the BIOS of Mr. but do not forget to use the good BIOS because evil can damage the motherboard.

• Satellite A100 screen had a few scratches

  Hi all, I hope I'm posting in the right section...

  My problem is that for a long time, when my laptop was my offbeat system idle and froze. When I forced a reboot the screen has some scratches.

  Once the program loaded grub (double ubuntu/win7), he had a few random weird letters instead of the correct letters.
  After the Boot animation windows, the screen remains blank. I rebooted and tried to log in to ubuntu.

  Ubuntu was telling me something about some error and told me to go under the low resolution.
  Using sure start in windows, I was finally able to enter windows system too. I disabled the driver (?) graphics in the Device Manager, and since then he has been able to start normally, in low resolution, what is.

  The question is, if my graphics card is broken? Because sometimes, the display looks good again. (I see that because there are no weird scratches and I'm able to start with a high resolution). But there again it is broken once again):

  I tried to reinstall the graphics driver many times, but it did not help. And it should be the newest!

  On my system:
  Satellite A100
  nVidia GeForce Go 7600

  Any help/tips/advice much appreciated! Thank you

  > The question is, if my graphics card is broken? Because sometimes, the display looks good again. (I see that because there are no weird scratches and I'm able to start with a high resolution). But there again it is broken once again):

  I'm scared, Yes. It looks like a faulty graphics card.
  You can try to connect the external monitor to the laptop and could check if the same would be visible on the second monitor
  In most cases if the GPU is affected, the stripes are visible on the screen, internal and external.

  Well, in this case you would need a new motherboard. :(

• Satellite A100-570 slow downs the wide connection band

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-570. I bought this in July antiques.

  Just open the laptop, not even connect to the internet it manages reduce my speed on broadband.
  I know this because I'm doing a test of speed before and after the opening of the laptop using my PC.

  Computer laptop & PC are not yet in the same room!
  The wireless network connection is disabled, disabled 1394 connection and only LAN OK.
  (I use a BT Homehub, connected to my PC).

  My question is: how a laptop computer that is not on the internet brings to BB speeds.
  the laptop is o.k. otherwise.

  Any help appreciated.

  To be honest, the whole story is a little understandable and strange for me.
  Your laptop is connected to the router with a LAN cable or what?

  Sorry but I don't quite understand you. What is the speed with and without a cell phone?

  By the way: did you clean install of the OS before you start using this laptop?

• Satellite A100: Norton error appears - memory could not be read

  This error keeps showing upwards.
  Can anyone help? He came to norton when I do a check up.
  Also, I get an error when I close internet explore tells me msvcr.80.dll is not found.

  Aside from that my laptop works ok, it is a satellite A100.

  Hello

  I think that this file msvcr.80.dll is part of the .NET Framework 2.0.
  I would try to install the version or see if you can do a repair on it via Add/Remove software.

  I studied and declined to find out why the error of Norton.
  But the address of memory does not help.
  However, it seems that you have installed something that might be a bad influence.

  Maybe a switching of the BONE at the beginning good point work would clear this issue.

• Satellite A100: Bios password appears - what should I do?

  Hello world

  Last year, I bought my toshiba Satellite A100. I never set a Bios password. Today I was working normal. Then I restarted my laptop and got the password.

  Now I can't access my laptop. Is this a common problem? What should I do?

  concerning

  No, this isn't a common problem. It s absolutely impossible that a BIOS password is stated zero part.

  In general, you will need to send the machine to an ASP for the removal of the password, but before you do, I would ask all members of your family who has access to your computer if it has put a bios password and wanted to make a joke (in this case it s not a really nice joke)

• Several problems with Satellite A100

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction with regard to the fixing of my computer!

  I have supply problems with my Satellite A100 laptop that I bought in europe 2 years ago. When the battery is run-down completely the computer will not run / start at all when it is plugged into the wall. It shows a light indicating that the battery is in charge even the domain controller in the light does not appear. The laptop must load for at least 1-2 hours before I can activate it. Push the power button to the computer also turn on / off the light sometimes. I can't use the computer at all until the same fully charged battery if light shows it is plugged into the wall. The outlet is fine.

  I also have other issues. First of all the computer not as to the rename files - often said that they are used, but they are not. Secondly, I have problems with toshiba recordnow cd / dvd burning program. I can open the program, but when I close it will not open until I have sign out and then sign back in. Thirdly, my computer love is no longer my sony digital camera memory cards if put directlt in laptop - it is said that they can be dangerous and will not access.

  Thanks for reading!

  PS my laptop does not at all depend on when the battery is removed and the laptop plugged into the wall.

  PPS. my laptop model is Satellite A100 - 163, PSAA9E model number

  Hello

  regarding your power problem:

  It seems that your motherboard is faulty. I had the same issue with an A100 and after replacing the motherboard, the problem has been resolved. They told me it was a kind of resistance or something as preventing the machine from power.

  The question of the name change is only registry related since the registry controls the access to the system. So you log on with an administrator account or with a regular account that was created for do not connect as an administrator of the computer?

  If not please google for "cannot rename files" that gives results much more then ask someone here. The registry could also be a cause for the issuance of recordnow!

  I Don t think that the card of your digital camera and your pc Don t like. Installed antivirus software? This might also be the reason.

  In your case, I suggest to bring your machine to an ASP (authorized service provider) and allow them to perform some checkup and proofreading materials.
  Back up your important data, and then perform a full restore of your machine (can be done with the recovery media supplied).

  See you soon

• 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:

  3 > BALANCED > POWER SAVER > HIGH PERFORMANCE

  4 > THE PLAN OF POWER > CLICK ON CHANGE PLAN SETTINGS > WILL DISPLAY A SCREEN SHOWING YOUR PLAN!

  5 > GO TO > * CLICK * WHERE IT SAYS CHANGE ADVANCED POWER SETTINGS

  6 > IF YOU SCROLL THE BAR TO THE * SIGN + > BATTERY-CLICK * THE * SIGN.

  7 > YOU SHOULD HAVE: you will need to have play with these settings, or you can click on restore plan defaults to see if that will solve your problem

  Notes by clicking on the * + plus SIGN next to tany of these options below will allow you to change what event happens on your computer.

• Re: Room Temperature for Satellite A100-999

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-999 (old lil :/) with XP

  I was wondering what are the temperature ranges at low, medium or high performance for the motherboard and CPU.

  at the present time about the temperature I have are: (Celsius)
  Motherboard: 60 + -.
  CPU: 65 years and more-

  When it has a high performance, it reached 90 - 95 +-. And if im right... the CPU with this temperature control can be activated automatically right?
  As im not an expert in the field, can someone guide me a bit?

  From now to detect temperatures im using the software: Everest AIDA64. (I guess that temperatures are not 100% Reliable, but they give me an idea).
  If there are ways to cool the laptop (I know cleaning is one of them of course) I would be grateful to receive some information.

  Thanks in advance

  concerning

  > I was wondering what are the temperature ranges at low, medium or high performance for the motherboard and CPU.

  It is not easy to say dude. The temperature can be always different and always depends on the use of the laptop.
  On the Intel page, you will find details about your CPU and you can find the temperature for the CPU limit. It s mainly around 100 C.

  However, if the temperature is too high, then the laptop would shut down automatically to prevent the equipment from damage. If the laptop is secure with such protection.

  By the way; the temperature can occur at a higher value if cooling modules and grids are obstructed by dust. So it s advisable to clean the grilles and fans of compressed air for usinf time spraying time.
