Satellite A200 - 1 M 8: issue playing in Open GL games

Hello!

I am the proud owner of the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 (graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600). I have problem with playing the games in the graph Open GL system (Jedi Academy or other Quake III-chart-based on a gaming system, for example).

When I was looking for a answer to my problem, I have based a single thread, also marked useful, but unfortunately is not updated, site of the user's response is no longer available (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=13561㓹).

I used Vista, now I am running XP, I downloaded the latest display drivers for XP, for my Toshiba A200 - 1 M 8, and whenever I try to launch the game with Open GL, I get error like:
"GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem".
My question is: How can I solve this problem? Are there drivers or solution to make it works? As always, any help is appreciated.

Greetings - Andrew Wysokiski.

Hello

Did you google for GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem.
And you will get a huge amount of hits.

It really looks like a graphic driver problem. For most updated could help to solve this;
As far as I know not all drivers GPU supports the OpenGL but DirectX.

Someone recommended to check if the OpenGL was chosen (if possible). IF this settings are available, then you might find somewhere in the graphics driver options.

Bye and good luck

  • Satellite A200-1BJ tends to overheat and cutting everything in game

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop. He has a tendency to overheat and shut down when I play games. CPU was just before 107C the emergency stop.

    Fan works, but fan speed gets ever faster from 70 ° C to stop. (I know it can go faster, because when I flashed the Bios, he spends at maximum speed.)

    So my question is: is there a way I can force fan to move at full speed?

    Hi Jason

    > I have problem with my laptop. He has a tendency to overheat and shut down when I play games. CPU was just before 107C the emergency stop.
    I agree with you. It really looks like an overheating problem.
    If the internal temperature reaches a critical level then the laptop stops automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

    Why a laptop overheat?
    Well, there are various reasons such warm-ups.
    First of all it is possible that don t cooling modules work correctly because of the dust and debris inside the laptop.

    You must also make sure that there is enough free space around the laptop to ensure fresh air circulation.

    At the other hand as a graphic driver non-Toshiba could cause an overheating problem.
    This is why you should always use a graphics driver for the Toshiba driver page.

    Please check the points mentioned and maybe you might know the reason for the overheating problem.

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - DVD burning issue, pixel dead, overheating

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba A200 (model PSAF6A) of back in January, and it is riddled with problems since then:
    -Can't burn DVD (not @ around 50%, any software is used)
    -Several dead on the screen pixels
    -Overheating when playing games (I bought an external cooling block)
    -Now, all fans are dead inside the laptop! Overheating in the first 10 minutes of starting the laptop computer!

    Now, for me, it seems that the motherboard may have started to die.

    What I'd like to know is if it will be replaced with so many problems if I take service? (I reserved a pick-up for today)
    Or they'll just to try to solve every problem?

    -Can't burn DVD (not @ around 50%, any software is used)
    ... could be a defective DVD player. or could be bad upperfilters/lowerfilters. http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?ID=314060

    -Several dead on the screen pixels
    ... LCD display needs to be replaced if it meets Toshiba pixel policy.

    -Overheating when playing games (I bought an external cooling block)
    ... Too much dust in the heat sink, must be blown to the compressed air, or dismantled so its really clogged. Dust accumulation is common in carpeted rooms.

    -Now, all fans are dead inside the laptop! Overheating in the first 10 minutes of starting the laptop computer!
    ... If the fans don't turn up at all, there must be a lot of dust in there. The fans need to be replaced.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 close and then open the lid of the screen to start to work

    Dear community,
    A few months ago my screen has stopped working. I took an external display and worked this way. (laptop screen did not work at all, even not toshiba logo)
    All until once, I turned on my laptop, closed the lid and then he fired after 5 seconds (when all lights on), the screen worked normally.
    Since then, I realized that I have to do this procedure every time I am switch on, or way the screen does not work.

    So I have to close the lid and reopen it after 5 seconds (not less), whenever I turn on my laptop. It works like this for months already.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Hello

    The FN + F5 key combination switches between monitors.

    Have you used this combination to test the display button?
    To be honest I m not very well if this key combination would be useful because it sounds like a problem with a display ON / Off switch (sensor).

    Usually such switch turns on and off the backlight of the screen if you close the lid

    This is why I would recommend this audit, but of course it's work is a technician for laptop

  • Satellite A200 screen backlight is disabled

    I'm having a problem with my Satellite A200.

    When the screen is opened, the backlight is disabled. You can vaguely see the screen keep it turned on, but it is too small to read.
    When you close it, you can see the screen backlight turns on, it stays on for just less than one second when you re - open the lid, and then turns off again.

    I guess that it has something to switch the lid being faulty.
    Can someone suggest solutions.

    Thank you very much
    Anthony

    This part of the message is very interesting:
    > You can vaguely see the screen keep it turned on, but it is too small to read.

    According to your description, you can see the screen and eventually the office too, but the entire screen is very low as behind a thick fog.
    Could this be just?

    Well, I think that this problem could be linked to the failure of inverter FL.
    The FL inverter is a tiny part hidden behind the frame of the screen and it controls the backlight of the screen s.

    In my opinion, this part should be checked by a technician for laptop.

  • Satellite A200-10Z (PSAE0E) - blue screen when I try to play the video

    Hey Geeks,

    I have a serious problem; I use my laptop for the last 3 years with no problems, but since yesterday, it the BSOD every time you try to play flash videos or youtube. I tried to update the version of adobe flash after unstalling the existing drive flash but when even the reason persisted. Finally, I reinstalled the 32-bit version of Windows Vista from the recovery of the product back up drive after I lost all my data, guess what the problem has not disappeared. I can't play youtube videos?

    I think it's maybe a problem with the BIOS update, this could be a corrupt problem display driver or should I think that there is a hardware problem as such. Is the existing graphics card Mobile Intel (r) Express Chipset family 945GM. I tried to update the BIOS from the Toshiba support site, but there is no available for Satellite A200-10Z update. So point is should I try to reinstall the operating system once more, or should I be given the laptop to a service center to check any malfunction of the equipment.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    Generally speaking, it is not easy to say why this happens, but if you have already tried a restore of the Toshiba Recovery disk system and the problem still exists, it looks like more of a hardware malfunction. The recovery disk contains a pre-tested picture to factory settings, so everything should work correctly in the case otherwise it seems to be a hardware problem.

    But he s strange why this happens only with videos. What you might try before contacting an authorized service provider is updated the display driver. Have a look at the Toshiba website, if a newer version is available for your laptop.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A200 plays not only will not play DVD

    I'm a first time user on this forum so Hello to everyone.

    My problem is that my Satellite A200 of (duration Vista) won't play DVD. When I try I get the following message: "Windows Media Player cannot play video DVDs. You may need to adjust your Windows display settings. Open display settings in Control Panel, and then try to lower your screen resolution and color quality settings. Needless to say, I've played a bit with the appropriate settings and there was no change in the situation. In a response published in another forum, someone suggested that I ditch Windows Media Player in favor of something better. I thought that the alternative program, he has proposed would be free, but it wasn't. In any case, I tried to play the DVD with other programs and received the same basic message. Is not a thing of Windows Media Player, it's a thing of DVD playback. In addition, it does not matter if WMP isn't the BEST DVD player - I just want to play DVD! I wrote to one of support from Microsoft customer care and they wrote in saying that it wasn't their problem. They consider it a "question of material". I don't buy that.

    Just a bit of history - I bought the computer second hand a good friend. Now, I don't ever remember playing a DVD on the computer, which somewhat confuses things for the following reasons. Just after I bought the computer, which is running Vista, I installed MP3 player software which has expressed its disagreement with the CD/DVD drive drivers. What I think is a quite common problem. This time Microsoft representatives were happy to help me and told me to delete two lines of registry keys. That fixed the problem to a certain extent, because now the reader a) still existed and b) could read and play CDs. But when I tried to play a DVD I got the above message.

    So as I said, I never even remember reading a DVD on the drive, I don't know if the problems are related to the problem of shock of MP3 software, although it seems unlikely that they are related. Finally, the computer has been less than a year when I bought it and in all other respects, it has been very well (unbearable slowness of Vista by derogation). Unfortunately the extended warranty is now sold out so I hope this isn't a hardware problem. The fact is that, given that I've never even played a DVD on this thing, and he plays the CD without any problem (in addition, the drive can READ DVD, he can tell me all the chapters that are on a DVD and play the files that he - she won't just play movies), I don't think it's material. I think that there is a current bug.

    If someone could shed some light on this matter, I would be eternally grateful!

    Concerning

    Tom

    Hi mate

    I m using the VLC Player as well.
    I m totally happy! It s for free, it s small, don t need a lot of material resources and manages almost all file formats.
    That s awesome!

    I totally agree with you. VLC Player is more than recommended!

  • Re: Satellite A200 PSAF6A - his plays through speakers using headphones

    When I plug my headphones into the port, nothing happens, still plays through the speakers.
    Is it drivers or something, because I want it redownload.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF6A.

    Hello

    This seems to be an Australian series for Toshiba laptop.
    You can find it here:
    http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

    You will find the audio driver and the most recent BIOS.

    But I recommend to check the sound settings first.
    I guess that's a Realtek audio chip in the Realtek audio Manager panel you could supply some parameters that control the headphones and speakers.

    Tab of reading on the right you will find the headset by clicking right into this and check the options that are available.

    + Crash day - and a warning +.
    January 27, 2006

    + Atari has released a playable demo of a game called Day of Crash. It is similar to Need for Speed: Most Wanted in many ways, but the goal is to destroy the other cars to missiles and miniguns, or do crazy stunts. It's very fun and seem to have some potential - see my screenies, thoughts and tweaks in this thread. +

    + Now, here is the part of the warning. Without wanting to be too dramatic, Crash day demo uses SecuROM copy protection system. It is very annoying and may cause problems on your computer. You can avoid the installation of the demo, or if you install it and then eventually want to uninstall and remove SecuROM, including "SecuROM User Access" Service, it installs under Windows, follow these steps: +.

    + 1. Uninstall the game as usual. +

    + 2. Manually remove the game directory (usually \Program Files\Atari\Crashday-+ demo\)

    + 3. Go to start > run and type "Services.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. +

    + 4. Access the "Securom User Access" Service, double click on it, click on stop and then set Disabled. +

    + 5. Navigate to the \Windows\System32\ directory and delete the file UAService7.exe. +

    + 6. Go to start > run and type 'sc delete useraccess7' (without the quotes) and press ENTER. +

    + Note: Ce Service can be re-created by one of your other SecuROM games, in which case you will have to work to play. +

    + The following steps are very risky and only to those who is certain none of their currently installed games use or need of SecuROM: +.

    + 7. Go to \Documents and Settings\All Users Data\ and remove the SecuROM subdirectory. +
