Satellite A300-034 - BSOD using msn messenger

Hey,.

I'm also having roughly the same problem. I bought my Toshiba A300-034 from futureshop with a built-in webcam.
Whenever I try to use it with msn messenger, it goes to the blue screen and restart my computer after a very short time.

What can I do to fix this?
Should drivers be installed or uninstalled?
I don't have the camera software that there is no cd for this laptop backup; It is all saved on a certain part of the hard drive.

Thanks for your help.

You should be able to create a recovery disc! Do this, use the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool!

In addition, you should visit the Canadian driver Toshiba page (Yes, this seems to be a Canadian model of laptop) and need to reinstall the webcam software and should update the Vista!

    Is what code exactly?

    What webcam you use with MSN?

    In your case I would recommend the update to Vista everything. Please check if SP1 has been installed already.

    Thanks for your time,

    Hi Tom,

    I searched a bit using Google and I founded a few interesting articles on this BSOD code 0 x 00008086.

    It seems that the only solution for this problem is Toshiba Recovery disk now. I mean normally repair option would also be my first choice, but if you get a blue screen too, you don t have other options now.

    Then enter the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot of it. It can restore factory in a few minutes. Don t forget your whole HARD drive will be erased.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A300 - how to use two hard disks?

    My Satellite A300 came with two 200 GB hard drives (drives C and D). What is the best way to use the D drive? Now I have nothing about it. If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?

    A basic question, I know, but the manual provides no information on this subject.

    Hey Dearborn,

    > If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?
    No, D: drive will not be filled automatically.
    When installing the program, you will be asked which drive they will be installed. So you can choose between C: and D: drive.

    In general there are no rules the use of two hard disks. You can do what you want.
    In my opinion the best is if you install all the programs on C: drive (first HARD drive) and save your private files such as photos, videos, documents, etc. on drive D: (second HARD drive). Its advantage is that if you need to reinstall Windows at all times, these files on the second HARD drive will not be deleted. ;)

  • Satellite A300 - how to use the recovery with external DVD drive disc?

    Hello

    I bought a toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 d

    FTM the tsscorp drive that is installed in the camera no longer works (does not detect any type of media what so ever). ) need to recover the laptop, so I used a USB DVD drive to boot from the restore disc, but after that the charges of recovery console it says waiting for media in the f: drive, which is the tsscorp drive although I used an external drive to load the disc.

    What files should I edit to make it to load from the drive externally and if this isn't the solution, what do I do?

    Thanks in advance

    Hey Buddy,

    Unfortunately I think that it of not possible to use the recovery with external CD/DVD drive disc. Therefore, place the internal for use the recovery disc.
    You can get a new drive to an authorized service provider.

    But if the original OS from Toshiba is installed, you can use the function of disk recovery HARD reinstall Windows as well. Go to the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer :)

  • Satellite A300-1J1: cannot use F8 to start the HARD drive recovery process

    I just brought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-1j1, and at the same time got the upgrade to Vista Ultimate disk at the same time.

    Straight out I went to a sweet upgrade to Ultimate, which failed, and restored in Premuim laptop.

    Stupidly I immediately then a hard install to ultimate who "worked", but of course the drivers to run the laptop has not been installed, I decided to go back to factory settings and try to get Ultimate again once.

    However to use F8 at startup is does not give me the option to restore, and since, I've learned that I should do a set of recovery discs, which I did not.

    Installation, the data is still on the disk 'E', so is anyway I can always use it to make these discs or what should I do?

    Thank you for your help,

    Ian

    > .and since then, I learned that I should do a set of recovery discs, which I did not.
    It's your biggest mistake.
    > Installation, data are still on the 'E' drive, is it so in any way I can still use it to make these discs or what should I do?
    There is nothing you can do to create recovery DVDs. If you want to have the original recovery DVD you must buy it.

  • Satellite A300 - how to use wake up on keyboard functionality?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A300-1ME and also a desktop PC intel 4 and I use a KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) to control two computers with one keyboard & mouse. The kvm has PS/2 cables and is connected to the TOSHIBA by a PS/2 to the USB cable from the switch. The connection of the keyboard & mouse to the notebook computer is connected to a USB port. I use vista 32 bit on my laptop and XP on the desktop personal computer.

    Now for my question, how can I use the keyboard to turn on the laptop closed (not the standby mode). I tried to do by choosing the keyboard HWSetup awakening and also, I checked the bios, to the keyboard 'waking up' option and he chose but still it won't start the laptop with the keyboard.

    P.S if there is no way to turn on the laptop keyoard, then perhaps by pressing the dvd - rom. If someone knows how to do made me know

    Thank you
    * Is * a * R *.

    Hey Buddy,

    Operating instructions, I found the following information:
    + Wake up on keyboard: when this feature is enabled and that the computer is in mode 'sleep', you can activate the computer by pressing any key. It is effective only for the internal keyboard and only when the computer is in "sleep". +

    Does that answer your question? ;)

    Any help is appreciated, thanks

    > im sure it is a problem of graphics as my minidumps say that 'DirectX Graphics Kernel' is the cause of the BSOD.

    I'm not very well if the BSOD is caused by the graphics driver compatibility issue but in general the driver of Toshiba page should not cause BSOD m
    Anyway, there are a few 3rd party pages where you can download updated drivers the: laptopvideo2go.com or omegadrivers.net
    But do not know if these drivers work correctly

    Another tip: I've read that some people could solve the BSOD problems by changing the resolution of the screen and disabling the Aero theme try this out... you may notice some improvements

  • Satellite U400 - MSN Messenger does not work with the built-in webcam

    Hello

    I have a satellite 400 with integrated webcam.
    The camera assistance software starts automatically and the webcam works fine with this software.

    But if I want to use MSN Messenger with webcam, it doesn't.

    The error message is coming: 'other software using the webcam.

    And if I want to configure the webcam in MSN Messenger software via the menu 'extras'... the message is coming: "the audio configuration and videa cannot start."

    I have a U400 too and I m using the internal webcam with Skype.
    It s works perfectly!

    But my software does not load automatically. I disabled in the msconfig.
    Software doesn't need to be loaded automatically in order to get it in MSM or Skype.
    So I recommend to disable auto-start.

  • Qosmio F20: Bad sound using the MSN Messenger & video transmission

    Hi all

    I recently bought a laptop Qosmio F20, who is currently connected to the Internet via a router/modem WiFi Netgear (DG834v2).
    I tried to use MSN messenger v7.5 (7.5.0311 and 7.5.0324) with a webcam Creative NX () to make a video call.
    But the sound of the person I'm talking to is so distorted, it is impossible to have a conversation (I tried with several of my friends, who all have good sound on their end).
    However, if I have an audio only (no video) conversation, I have a perfect sound.
    Despite my best efforts (update drivers, reinstall messenger, windows firewall ok for messenger etc...) I've had no chance of finding the problem so far. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.

    Thanks in advance.
    François

    Hello

    You suggested that the sound working properly without the video connection.
    In my opinion, it happens because of the webcam. Maybe the software has a bad influence on the sound.
    This is not a product of Toshiba, and Toshiba is not responsible for any 3rd party device.
    I recommend you to check the site of the manufacture of cam. Maybe you will find the solution.

    Hello

    I have Satellite A300 too and use cam with Skype. It works perfectly. I tested it with ICQ

    Also try disabling software pre-installed to Webcam Assistant (usually started automatically with Vista) and check the functionality with Yahoo.
