• Satellite A100 WIndows XP SP3 - Corrupted registry?

  Toshiba Satellite A100 WIndows XP SP3.

  A few days ago I noticed that windows update has stopped working and I had network problems. New research has shown that the BITS service did not start and other services such as DCOM did not begin. Fix - It of MS failed with the error code 7255. I tracked the issue to a possible Trojan horse as the registry keys had been renamed % fystemroot %. I've edited the keys to any %, according to online tips and delivered to market successfully. This has not fixed the BITS issue but more googling suggested that I needed a parameters key that included the Systemdll=%systemroot%\windows32\qmgr.dll value in the BIT key in HKLM system.

  I added this, but now when machine re boots I get a partial screen, no task bar, I can perform certain tasks by CTRL-ALT-DEL and the functioning of the Task Manager. I tried to cancel the changes by running regedit, but it does not work. None of the user accounts, even in the CMD has access to most of the services or the directories.

  I have the Toshiba repair disk but it seems to want to do a complete re-install XP, while I have backups, it would be my last option because I still have to lose data.

  MS KB307545 says not to use on install OEM (I have a full version of XP SP2 I could boot from it) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 but did not say what you need to do.

  By pressing F8 during does not start safe mode and I can not find a mechanism beginning a system restore. I should have one from last Tuesday.

  Anyone has any ideas.

  Hello

  See this Microsoft Knowledge base article:

  + How to start the System Restore tool by using the option of safe mode with the command prompt in Windows XP +.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304449/

  If you have an original Win XP disk then you could start using this disc. The installation of Win XP supports a repair option that start you press the R key (when windows asks to press R).

  Otherwise I put t see any other option as to reinstall new OS

• Satellite A100-405: [Pickup and return] what information is required?

  I bought a Satellite A100-405 today and I have a problem with my screen (it produces sounds iritating). I phoned the Dutch Toshiba helpline and they said they will pick up tomorrow. I needed to write the number of application Service and address according to the guy on the phone.

  Is there anything else that I should put on it to help the DHL soon to Toshiba (Netherlands)?

  Concerning

  No, I'm Don t think we should give additional information from DHL. Just send your machine to Toshiba and they will handle the rest. Well, worry not Don t, buddy.

  Everything will be fine, because I did it 2 times and everything was OK.

• Satellite A100: Windows won't start no-Unmountable Boot Volume

  My son has a Satellite A100 under Windows XP SP3. Windows is not going beyond the Windows logo screen and ends with a Unmoutable Boot Volume + message.

  After what has happened, the status of the disk in the BIOS password is + HDD password frozen +. Note that the HARD drive does not have a user defined password.

  What is happening here and how is it fixed?

  Can you start laptop in safe mode with F8?
  The HARD drive password is strange to me.

  In this situation what you can try is to start the repair console in the Windows XP installation disc and try to fix it. Problem is that Toshiba computers laptops come with recovery discs only.
  Try to get the installation of Microsoft WXP disc and try with this repair option.

• Network controller is not recognized on Satellite A100 Windows XP

  Hi all!

  I bought a Satellite A100 PSAAR and I did a clean install of Windows XP on it. I installed all the drivers in the correct order (downloaded from the support page) but I still have a problem:

  Ethernet controller and network controller appear with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager, and they are not recognized. I have downloaded the driver lan and I managed to do recognize the ethernet controller. However no matter how hard I tried, I can't find the correct driver for the NETWORK CONTROLLER, which still appears in Device Manager in yellow color.

  I really could use any help here... Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Shouldn´t be a big problem to get some drivers for your machine's real lan. Just go here:

  http://www.Intel.com

  and download the intel proset for ethernet controller. If you didn t already installed the wireless card, do so. Otherwise the other network controller could be the bluetooth adapter.

  It would be nice to hear from you...

  See you soon

• Re: Satellite A100-667 - RAM and CPU upgrade

  Hi all, I am considering upgrading RAM on my * SATELLITE A100-667 * (PSAARE-02700DIT). Is anyone know the maximum amount of ram I can install it? What clock is supported? (553, 667...)

  And what about CPU? The laptop comes with an Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66 GHz on Intel i945PM chipset.

  Thanks in advance for any information.

  P.

  Hello

  I think that you should also check your RAM upgrades for user manuals. As far as I know that you can upgrade your laptop with 4 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can use DDR2-533 modules. You buy from an authorized service provider or Kingston modules also recommendable.

  Upgrading the CPU is not supported. BIOS and motherboard are tested only with the preinstalled CPU.

• Satellite A100 - keeps freezing and crashing

  Hello
  I've got a 2.5 years old Satellite A100. He was going well until recently, when I found that the pc freezes completely - this looks only happen when I move the cursor on the screen. The only thing I can do, it's a hard re-boot.
  The problem has become more common, and I had to reinstall the operating system (using the disc that came with the laptop). After you have reinstalled everything worked well. But all of a sudden the same problem reappeared. I thought maybe it was different software clash between them and so I once again re-formatted the hard drive and reinstalled the operating system.
  This time it froze once more as I move the mouse around the screen. But it's happened before that I had installed anything on the PC. It is an entirely new installation.

  I also want to mention that this problem occurred first a year ago. At that time I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the OS and it worked fine until about 2 weeks ago, when I've updated my "spybot search & destroy ' software." It was after this the problem started again. The rest of the story is as above.

  Just to mention that, after that the problem started 2 weeks ago, I reinstall the mouse driver using the touchpad driver that is available on the Web from Toshiba site.

  Please help - I have been re - install the OS on / off power for 2 weeks now and I still have the problem. I am close to giong out and buy a new PC!

  Hello

  It's strange, and I think it looks like a hardware issue because you used the disk recovery Toshiba and after that, the same problem occurs.

  But it's not easy to say what causes this problem. You can check the RAM and HARD drive using Drive Fitness Test and Memtest86. Use Google to find the two programs. You can download an image bootable in these two programs. You must burn it to a CD and boot from it.
  If the peut t-tests is a mistake your laptop should be checked by a technician for laptop.

  Maybe you can find the problem yourself, and to swap the RAM or HARD drive, it's pretty easy.

• Satellite A100-049: CDs and DVDs do not read after standby

  I have a new satellite A100-049 delivered with vista home premium pre-installed. After returning to the computer from sleep/wake (whatever mode is when the yellow light pulses) without discs can be read in the drive. The disc rotates constantly, but nothing will happen.

  Everything works well when the computer is turned on at the first time, but after the sleep he stopped playing discs. Is that what I can do about it?

  Hello

  What happens if you remove the media CD or DVD of the training after the laptop back to sleep/wake?

  I mean that you should remove the Middle, close the CD tray, then open the drive, insert the CD/DVD and check if the laptop recognizes the middle.

• Satellite A100 PSAA9A - drivers and applications from the recovery disk

  This laptop was reformated HARD drive and I decided to try Windows 7 (beta), which is currently installed and working well. I would like to install the original drivers and applications from the Toshiba recovery disc but I don't want to reinstal the operating system (XP). Is this possible?

  As far as I know that is not possible because applications from the recovery disk and drivers are for Windows XP and they are not compatible with Windows 7.
  In addition it of not possible to install the only special drivers or applications from the recovery disc.

  You can download all the drivers and tools on the site of Toshiba, but I doubt that it of compatible with Windows 7, but you can try it out and post your result here.

• Satellite L450D: Windows 7 and Netgear connection problems

  Hello

  Ive recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L450D but I can't connect to a netgear wireless account...
  It works fine on another laptop and my toshiba can connect to an account of different eircom without problem...

  What is the new Windows 7, which is not compatible with the server or do I have another problem!

  Thank you! :)

  Hello

  What you mean with Netgear wireless account exactly? Do you mean the router Netgear WLAN?

  Normally, you can connect to each WLAN router. It makes no difference which manufacturing, you have the router but factory settings are different, this means that some routers have DHCP and static IP addresses, for example. I think you should check the TCP/IP configuration and update the WLAN driver.

  Check for an update WLAN Portal: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

  Good luck! :)

• Fan gave up and Satellite A100-999 overheats and stops

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 3 + year but unfortunately gave up the fan and it overheats and stops.

  I know it is old and has been well used, but he has been a faithful servant and I want to know if I can get the fan replaced?

  It's really a phone beautiful, and if I can save it I would.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  Of course, the cooling modules can be replaced.

  According to your message, you are not familiar with these things one so you should get in touch with a local ASP (authorized service provider) who could order a cooling right and compatible module and could replace it.
  In addition the new thermal grease which is placed between the CPU and cooling modules must be added and renewed.

• System satellite M50 Windows noisy and distorted noise

  Hello users. The years of use of laptop Toshiba, it's the first time, none of them developed a fault, from one day to the next: after hibernation, my windows sound system became noisy and distorted. Interestingly, other sounds that work very well (like listening to a mp3 or wmv file). I checked all the equipment settings and sound system drivers and everything seems to be squeaky clean. I am at a loss for a solution.
  A that someone has experienced the same problem? is this a problem of Windows rather than Toshiba?
  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I've never heard of this problem. If there is some sound problem it takes usually affect on any type of sound playback.

  Plateau to roll back the OS to an earlier time, if you can find any what systemcheck restore point in System Restore tool.

• Satellite A100-192 overheats and stops automatically

  My 9 month a100-192 * is overheating. specifically my cpu (processor intel centrino duo).
  In normal operation (runing nothing too 'heavy', only for things like Opera, foobar, thunderbird and others) the temperature is around the 50-60 degrees celsius * and that it itself is too.

  Really warm and not so comfortable to work, what makes the left side of the keyboard. The temperature is still higher than when running something demending. Do not have meassued that the temperature, but I persume it is really, really high.

  After aprox. one hour of play "company of heroes" the computer closed like a messure of security due to the large heat (it happened more than once).
  I do not think that the fans are blocked with dust, because from what I see they have clean air. Also I don't think it's the hard drive (it's temperature is about 40 degrees celsius).

  Maybe it's my ati radeon x 1600, but I doubt that, as the temperature is very high, even if not matter what either graphically demanding (victory of base xp environment).

  What could be the problem?

  * processor intel centrino duo @ 2 GHz, 1, 5 GB, ati mobility radeon x 1600 with 256 MB, 100 GB hard drive
  * Jieme temperature CPU with CPUCooL

  Hello

  > In normal operation (nothing too 'heavy', running only things like Opera, foobar, thunderbird and others) the temperature is around the 50-60 degrees celsius * and that it itself is too.
  Unfortunately, I'm not agree with you. The level of 50-60 degree temperature is not too high. My laptop also reaches this level if I m only to connect to the internet.

  May I ask how do you use the laptop?
  The laptop must be placed on the table or desk and you should have enough free space around the laptop for cool air circulation.
  The cooling grids must be free!
  Check if fans can turn with a maximum return.
  Dust and debris inside of the laptop stops especially cooling modules run properly.

  What graphic do you use?
  Have you used one from the manufacturing of the graphics card? This driver does not support a protection from overheating!
  Therefore, you must use the drivers of Toshiba's own graphics card!
