• Satellite A300-1QD - two questions during the installation of windows XP or Vista

  Nice day
  Here's my problem:

  1. I just bought the Toshiba Satellite A300-1QD and since there is Vista based on it and I have Vista ultimate, I decided to install on the laptop.
  After I formatted deleated everything and I have the partition that I created a new.
  After that I installed Vista, now I'm at the point where it says complete installation and the blow bar is at about 2/3.
  My problem now is that it's now been 3 hours and nothing happens the dots next to the 'installation complete' is still occurring and disappearing.

  2 as the number one lasted so long I decided to install windows XP Professional, but when it loads after that I put the cd one has bluscreen place called chkdsk.

  What should I do now to get something on what works?

  Hello. I think that the partition table and boot loader are messed up and it's your problem. You can try to chek to find errors and format your HARD disk with a third parity tool and try to install windows again.

• Satellite A300 - 1MC PSAG8E - software of Toshiba Assist application password

  Hi all

  I just bought a Satellite A300 - 1MC (model No. PSAG8E-00W00TEN) and I am using the software Toshiba Assist, but its me asks for a password and I don't know what it is or where I can find it.

  Any suggestions?

  Also slightly off topic, the laptop contains buttons to control media player, is there anyway I can change to control iTunes?

  See you soon
  Ian

  Have you tried to do an update of Toshiba Assist? A new version and all the other stuff from Toshiba which you can find here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com
  Maybe the update will solve the problem.

  On command buttons, I think you need to configure iTunes as standard Media Player and select all the files to iTunes playlist.

• Satellite A300 - 1-3 - question on CPU Fan

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 3, recently I had problems with my laptop in which the laptop suddenly stops working, when I checked the forum, I was advised to clean the cooling system, which I did and all is now ok; recently, I noticed that CPU fan stops momentarily, then back to work, is this correct?

  If this is not the case, what should I do, should I replace the CPU fan? Or what?

  As far as I know CPU fun is running automatically and it will run when this is necessary so that the fan behavior is nothing unusual.

  If your laptop works well and, after cleaning, you didn t notice any more close I think that everything is OK.

• Satellite P200 - 17 c: Question about tools Toshiba and Vista's Windows HotStart

  Hello

  I just bought the Toshiba Notebook Satellie P200 - 17 c and I have a couple of questions which I hope you can answer in this forum?

  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=132332&Toshib aShop = true

  1. under "Bundled software" at the link above, it says that the 'Toshiba value added"is included, but I do not see this CD/DVD in the box. (My Equium L10 was a value added CD in the box).

  The Toshiba user manual
  Norton Internet Security 2007 (including updates of free Internet for 90 days)
  Ulead DVD MovieWriter for TOSHIBA
  * Toshiba value added package *.
  Supervisor password utility
  Toshiba Assist
  Toshiba Speech System
  Chicony Camera Assistant Software
  Toshiba DVD player
  Microsoft Works 8.5 (with Office home and Student 2007 trial version)
  Toshiba Disc Creator
  Connectivity doctor
  ConfigFree

  Why is the Value Added Package not included and what exactly is included on the CD/DVD for the P200 - 17 c? I'm not too sure if I have all this either. I.e. ConfigFree, connectivity, Toshiba Assist etc doctor, but I check over the next hours and after return.

  2. under "Features", he mentions:

  * Microsoft Windows HotStart for instant-on entertainment *.

  But I don't see any reference to this in the manual of the owner and its operation. Can anyone help here please?

  3. what CD/DVD writing software is included? I'm looking for something like Roxio or Nero, utilities that I can use to create data and discs with audio and also, burn ISO files, but I see is Toshiba DiskcCreator.

  I have no doubt that I'll have a few more questions once I have a good look around the laptop and will post back, but is it for now.

  I would appreciate a response from someone, but as a direct comparison, especially those of the user who already have, or have purchased the P200 - 17 c.

  The added value of Toshiba package is a collection of applications Toshiba unique like TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Power Saver components common driver, utility password of TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Flash Cards, etc.

  Applications of this are already installed on the image of Toshiba which is placed on the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  > Microsoft Windows HotStart for instant / entertainment
  As much I know Windows Hotstart in the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system offers built-in support for launch applications directly from the system startup.
  Manufacturers can take advantage of Windows HotStart to add buttons to access favourable to consumers through panels application front of the chassis.
  In your case, what are the control of Toshiba for example buttons.

  > What CD/DVD writing software is included?

  There should be a preinstalled tool called Toshiba Disc creator.
  The use of this too, you can create original audio CDs, data CDs and DVDs and backup of CD and DVD discs

  Hope that clarified everything

• Re: Satellite C870 - Questions about Toshiba software pre-installed

  Hello..

  Instant Messaging user a new SATELLITE C870-1JV
  Or seen a review on an American site saying that all software pre-installed Toshiba slowing down the operating system.
  The site has recommended that a windows clean install to remove all...

  Everyone does this, or would you recommend?

  Anyone like the software installed and recommend keep it?

  Thank you!!

  > Someone has he done this, or would you recommend?
  You always want to use the advanced features like function keys laptop?
  If so, don t remove the feature key Toshiba software that controls the keys.

  You always want to be informed of updates to the driver through Toshiba Tempro or Toshiba Service Station?
  Then don t delete these software

  But as far as I know there are also other additional software installed on the laptop.
  For example: TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Eco Utility, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor, etc.
  All of these tools provide additional functionality, it s your decision whether or not you want to use.

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-26. It has a core 2 duo T7200, running vista 32 provided with the computer (now sp1).

  Windows Update offers me the following optional update: 'TOSHIBA TOSHIBA - other hardware - x 64 compatible ACPI value logical and general-purpose device' but I am concerned that at present in Device Manager, the computer is listed as "ACPI x 86 based pc.

  Does anyone know why windows update offers this for me and if I install it?

  Thanks for any help!

  This update is available for all units of Core2Duo.
  As you already wrote it is optional, and you must not install it. If you use original recovery image Toshiba you have no need for the functionality of the laptop. Using the recovery image or you have installed your own OS?

  Hello

  I put t know exactly what it is the sense of shared module, but perhaps that it s often resorted to the module.
  This application is necessary for the good state of different tools of Toshiba.
  In this case, I would recommend reinstallation of this application.

• Satellite X 200-219: Question about updating the display driver?

  Sad tales I've heard talk about manufacturers of laptop never updated to gfx card drivers apply to toshiba?

  Any info on the question of whether an update for their SLi systems drivers display is on the horizon?

  see you soon-

  The fact is that display driver cannot be updated daily as for desktop computers. Priority by the manufacturers of cell phones is worrying about the operation of the equipment. Using new graphics card drivers will be forced to run faster and better that offers better graphics performance. The result is essentially an overheating and may end with a faulty graphics card.

  In this case, the card mother together must be exchanged and it costs a lot of money. So, I think that no one can say with certainty when the next pilot will be available.

  Thank you
  Aykut

  Hi aykut76,

  Using the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?
  Can you put the vendor and exact device ID? It would be useful to identify the exact device. But according to your assignment, it has something to do with the package of added value or HDD/SSD alert maybe

  Your printer, you need to contact the manufacture of the printer. This has nothing to do with Toshiba. Probably you have need new drivers or something else

• Satellite 3000 - X 4: Question about RAM upgrade

  Hi all

  I'm looking for more information on how to upgrade the RAM for my SATELLITE S3000 - X 4 (120 MB RAM, 14 GB HD I think!). Here's a little history...

  This laptop is about 5 years old, and I'm hoping to speed up a bit. I don't want to buy a new computer because she usually serves my needs.

  I emptied my hard drive files and unwanted programs. And I ran Jv16 Power Tools to clean the registry and minimize starts the process.

  It's always a little slow and if I am considering upgrading the RAM because I think I can do this for about £50. My questions are:

  What type of upgrade RAM should I look to buy? (This laptop have 2 RAM "plug-ins" or just one?)
  What is the size of RAM upgrade is the maximum an S3000 - X 4 could face?
  Could a novice like me to adapt to the style DIY upgrade?

  Thanks for any help you can offer!

  Hi Gabrielle

  He is old enough. I looked for some info, but unfortunately I n t have not found much. The device can use the 512 MB of RAM, and you can use 2 sticks of memory. I'm not 100% sure but I think you can use the module with tracking number PA3086U - 1. 25 M.

  The unit is not known to me but please check the underside. On most units, you can find coverage of memory.

• Satellite L30: A few questions about the change from Vista to Win XP

  My satellite L30 has Vista Home Basic preinstalled, but I decided that Vista is still a little slow & buggy and would like to change to WinXP Pro. I have 2 questions-

  1. a change to XP will extend the battery performance? (currently 1 h with no wifi I think it's pretty poor)

  2. I intend to reformat the hard drive for all the hidden partitions will be lost. If I decide to go back to Vista, at a later date I will be able to reinstall using the "upgrade" dvd that came with my computer? I think I'm wrong in saying that this dvd contains a full version of Vista, but I wonder if my serial number still working?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If you bought the L30 with Vista operating system preinstalled, then I presume that you have received also the Toshiba Vista recovery CD.
  The Vista on the recovery CD is already enabled and you don't need to enter keys t.

  Regarding your battery question: well as you know the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. Performance heavy on the laptop running decreases the life of the battery. It is a fact.

  But you assume the Vista needs of more resources for laptop as the XP and the Vista operating system wastes more energy than other operating systems.
  I think if you install XP on the laptop, you should be able to work with the battery a little longer as with Vista.

  > I want screan LCD stop down and stay mobile mind on... no sleep or standby extended... CUS I use external monitor... and I want to save battery power.

  I found a small free tool called turn the wide-screen LCD. You can google for it if you want.
  But as far as I know, this tool is only compatible with Win XP and Vista, so I don't know if it will work on laptops with pre-installed m Win 7.

  Here are the specs of the laptop:

  I can t find any son or sites that define idle temp for this processor and graphics card.
  in normal position and high performance / games.
  I have an extra cooler (link: http://www.mimovrste.com/artikel/2210016012/hladilnik-za-prenosnik-akasa-ak-nbc-02b) under the laptop. It helps us not much, but still it s running * 53 C * (celsius) while surfing internet.

  Without this cooler surroundings 60 C. It seems strange to me.
  When I play games on high performance base temperature goes to * 63 C *, without paste xtra * + 80 c! *

  I clean the heat sinks each month 1 with a huge compressor :)
  I don t let any dust in there. I have the laptop like a year now big runs, but still I m interested in this s the temperature of our similar models.
  I had a few 'disable problems' when I didn t have the additional cooler, but now he runs great, but im still not convinced it s the 'normal' temp : S

  So please help a lost soul, surf the internet finding nothing to answer his question :)

  TNX

  Hi dariod

  You can't find any info on the idle temp for this processor and graphics card because the temperature level is always different.
  The laptop temperature depends on the temperature of the environment, the use of the laptop and power settings.

  In Win Vista, you can change some settings to be able to affect the temperature of the CPU and the cooling module feature:

  Here is a useful link to the FAQ:
  + How to manage Windows Vista power management features.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm

  In addition, you must update the BIOS if a new BIOS update is available.
