  In the Bios, go to the advanced option and choose, Compatible mode, (optionally sata controller). May I ask why you need Ide mode?

• Satellite A205-s4777: I need XP drivers

  Greetings and pardon the intrusion, but I need help.

  I am in the United States and have a Satellite A205-s4777 new model #PSAF3U-03600V under Vista premium.
  I can't stand vista and want to "downgrade" to XP Pro. I'm here because I have been informed by American support that there's no XP drivers for this device.
  BUT little information that I found on the sister of US site for this, many have found driver/software compatible XP sets machines across the UK support site for the United States.
  My understanding is that my A205 series is identical to the A200 series he...

  Now my dilemma when I navigate to the download section of the UK support site I get the model number and find SIX different "under the models of the A200.
  PSAE0/2/3/6/C/L
  Can someone identify which of the UK models is the same as my PSAF3U or other information that may be useful to offer?

  Thank you very much.

  > Can anyone identify which of the UK models is the same as my PSAF3U or other information that may be useful to offer?
  No one will be able to identify this TV series American on the European driver page!
  European specifications are a little different!
  What you can do is to check if the ONE from Toshiba drivers European features page!
  Sometimes different series are equipped with the same features and maybe run one or the other XP driver!

  PS: You have two options if you want to contact Toshiba customer service directly.
  You will make a call to US hotline or you will contact your Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.

• Satellite A205-S4777: how long can I use the BT stack downloaded from the page

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4777 with windows vista home premium (bought in the USA two weeks ago).

  Yesterday I installed the new version of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 5.10.12 (T) who seems very comfortable. I bought, for this computer, in a store in line (not yet received) an ADAPTER of BLUETOOTHT TOSHIBA USB 2.0 + EDR capability wireless network with manufacturer part number: PA3477U-1BTM.

  My questions: after the installation of the aforementioned usb, the toshiba bluetooth stack bluetooth device will allow me to have the software (toshiba bluetooth stack) at the moment I need or will give me only 30 days trial?

  I knew that the toshiba bluetooth stack on the download site is for TOSHIBA hardware only.
  Is this USB Bluetooth device examined by the software as hardware Toshiba?

  Will it work ok with the satellite A205-S4777?
  I bought this camera because when I installed a usb bluetooth IOGEAR, worked well, but the software recommended in the bar of tasks such as software "will be used only for 30 days trial.

  That's why I bought the Toshiba usb bluetooth already above.
  Please let me know your experience or any help on this matter.

  With sincere friendships.

• Satellite A300-1GC random freeze

  Hello

  my laptop (Satellite A300-1GC) worked very well for many years. But then last year he startet freeze randomly.

  What I mean with gel: I can't do anything, the mouse and the button are not, nothing on the screen moves (stop animations etc.). The only way to restart the computer is pressing the power on button for a few seconds.

  First of all I thought to a software problem, perhaps caused by an update windows (windows 7 Professional).

  The problem appeared different situations (programming, surfing the web,...), but often directly after starting the computer. Sometimes even in the login screen. I disabled all the startup process automatic antivirus, software, etc., but the problem remains.

  I never had the problem in safe mode (don't know if that's the correct word, in German, it is 'abgesicherter Modus'), but I don't use it very much, as a test.

  Then I installed linux mint on a separate partition. At first glance, it seems that the problem does not occur there. But after a few days: same problem. Random freezes, often after the start, but also at any time thereafter.

  I have not found any information related to the problem in the newspapers, in windows or Linux.

  So now I think it's a hardware problem, as it took place in windows (even at the login screen) and linux.
  I checked the disc with windows chkdisk and memory with memtest86 +. No error was found.

  You have an idea, what could be the reason for the gel? You need more info?

  Thank you very much

  Laptop could start freeze due to a higher internal temperature.
  After a long period of use fans and the vents may be blocked by dust.
  Dust prevents the fan is working properly and therefore the temperature could increase that may affect the functionality of the laptop.

  Try to clean the grates and remove the dust using a jet of compressed air.
  It is perhaps the best way to get rid of dust

  Another reason for this gel could be the memory problem
  It seems that you have already checked the laptop for the problems of RAM running the memtest86 + but even if this tool has said there is no problem of RAM, memory dysfunction might be possible. Of course it's only suggestion

  I think that you don't have a choice but to check each possibility: new installation of the OS, fan cleaning, maybe new HARD drive?

  Everything is possible

• Satellite A205-S4777: I need Biometric coprocessor driver for Win XP

  Hi there, its me again.

  I forgot to ask the pilot Biometric coprocessor XP to A205-S4777 :(

  I couldn't find it on the site driver of Toshiba.

  Please help me.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think you're talking about finger print driver since the laptop supports the fingerprint.
  Satellite A205 is an American notebook series.

  All drivers need to be downloaded on the page of the Toshiba driver we.
  But as far as I know the fingerprint for Satellite A200 series (European series) software should be compatible as well.

  So, if you find any fingerprints on the Toshiba page software we then you should try some applications of fingerprint outputs Sat A200.

  Hello

  Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
  The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
  I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

  In addition, you should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:

• Satellite Pro A300 random freezes

  I had this problem for the last few weeks.

  Started during the game Football Manager 2011 and Windows Media Player in the background.
  Blue screen crash is came and never recovered from that, so I have it restored to its original condition and installed all the windows updates which have been important etc.

  Since then he has worked from time to time but always randomly freezes when I can move the mouse and but nothing responds.
  Did all error checks and scans and nothing does not appear.

  Just as my memory is now 871MB
  Would this problem solved by upgrading the RAM?
  Or is there another problem?

  Any help is the verywelcome

  Thank you
  MIC

  > Would be solved this problem by upgrading the RAM?
  Don t that s so many laptop OS freezes for different reasons
  -RAM issues
  -Questions BONE (graft)
  -Problems commutabilite between software
  -Serious problems of hardware (motherboard, etc.)
  -High temperature

  So, as you see it s hard to say what could cause this
  First of all I recommend to reinstall the operating system and clean the modules of cooling using a jet of compressed air, this will remove dust COO vents that may prevent air circulation. This can cause a temperature more high which could affect the functionality of the laptop.

• Satellite A660-149 - random freezes

  My toshiba laptop keeps freezing at random, even if im not doing anything in particular to this topic, I first thought it may be my graphics card driver, I've updated and it freezes again and then I tried to update my sound card, all to nothing does not I also updated my bios , but a couple of months back I got a pop up on my screen message, saying that he should be returned to a service since then the message has appeared not so I don't think anything of it, I was wondering if this may be related or if anyone can help me solve this problem, it is intermittent and can occur after I put my password in my laptop in order to open a session or right the way up to a few days before it freezes, are the only way for me to use my laptop to turn it off by holding the power button, what I do not like to do, any help would be greatly appreciated this anomaly is pretty boring.

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  > I need my recovery disk to restore?
  You can also reinstall Windows using the recovery option of HARD drive as described in your user's manual, but the recovery disc would work of course. ;)

• Satellite A205 - stops randomly

  My laptop has had random stops without warning. It stops just completely out of nowhere. I noticed that my system hangs as well lately, but I don't know if it is part of the same problem. For example, Firefox would work fine, but when I click on anything either on the taskbar, the taskbar crashes. Meanwhile, Firefox continues at a normal speed. This only happens randomly. I tried the antivirus, spyware scans, disk defragmentation, and CCleaner scans (may be others I'm not remember). I tried to run without the battery to see if that might be the problem, but after 20 minutes of use it stops again. I got it running for three days with no stops, but other days, it stops every 15 minutes. I tried to leave off the computer for the night to be sure that it wasn't just an overheating of long use, but still it happened. He felt hot, and everything seems clean on the inside. I am running:

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
  Service Pack 1
  Intel Core 2 CPU T5300, 1.73 GHz
  Memory: 1.00 GB
  System type: 32-bit operating system

  I don't know what information could be compared to the problem, but if there is anything I can give to help find a solution, let me know!

  Any ideas on what could be the problem? What can I do to fix this? For awhile I was shrugging it off, but since it happened in the middle of tests for classes online I decided that something must be done.

  Thank you for the support,

  Doug

  Hello!

  I agree with Akuma. To me it looks like overheating issue too because normally the laptop stops due to a higher internal temperature. This protects the material. Otherwise, the material will be damaged.

  To clean the laptop, you can use compressed air jet. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans and therefore you should not disassemble the laptop.
  Compressed air spray is very cheap and you can get it from every computer store.

  Also if you have installed a non-Toshiba display driver, you must remove it. These drivers don't have protection against overheating and not designed for the mobile graphic display cards.
  Then please download and install the Toshiba page display driver.

  Good bye

• Problems with Satellite A205-S4777 after saving files

  Hi, I made a backup file for the first time. And I burned two CD. Then after my backup files were burning, my laptop is slow all of a sudden.

  Everything would not respond. I open and go on the internet and he would not answer. programs have started up and then freeze it.
  I know it's not the hardware, but maybe the software. What do you think the guy is? Or what should I do? Should I reinstall everything as the recovery and the Applications CD?
  My laptop does that from time to time very well. Sometimes, when I start my laptop, then I'll wait a while, then connect to the internet, then go on the net, so some of my programs would freeze or my internet explore would freeze and say it does not and so on with other programs.
  I know that I don't have a virus or a worm, because I already ran my laptop with my Windows Live Onecare program.

  Please help me, thank you very much.

  Hello
  I suggest you to reinstall your operating system and all your applications, because it really looks like a software problem.
  But given that nobody here knows what he could really be with you (since you´re ask here :)) you should do a table 'clean up' and restore your system.)

  This would be the best, and if you got your machine it would be nice if you give some information, if it worked.

  Greetings :)
