  Please help me to recover from this problem with the graphics.

  Hello!

  Check the system requirements for the game. Satellite A300 is not a high-end gaming laptop and maybe some new games couldn't work on this laptop.

  Maybe you need to reinstall your laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc. I put t have another idea so try and post your result.

• How to install Windows XP on Satellite A300-146?

  Hi all

  I need to know how can I install Windows XP on to my Toshiba Satellite A300-146 since I have windows vista with Arabic and this very bad.
  I heard in the laptop we have a SATA hard drive and the problems of British Colombia, who has not read the material.

  Also, I want to know how I can change vista from Arabic to English interface?

  How can configure LAN?

  Just a question;
  Did you go through this forum and simple threads on this topic before you posted this new topic?

  There is a lot of discussion on the installation of Win XP on laptops with SATA controller!
  The procedure is always the same on most portable models!

  You have 2 options; fade you assign compatible in the BIOS SATA mode and would not need to install the SATA drivers or you let the SATA AHCI mode and would include the SATA drivers using an external floppy drive you would have built a new disk Win XP using nLite software.

  PS: SATA drivers are part of the Intel Storage Manager!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Maybe your CD/DVD drive becomes faulty... What do you think?

  But before you think to a new disk, you must remove the server - and lowerfilters in the registry. You can follow the workaround from Microsoft:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

  Also, make sure that the CD/DVD drive lens is clean. You can use a microfibre cloth to clean. This rag doesn't scratch the lens.
  Check this box!

  Finally and above all, there is no special driver for CD/DVD drive. It s a part of t Windows and can be updated.

• Re: Satellite A300-145 with Vista 32 maximum RAM?

  Hi all!

  I have satellite A300-145 with Vista 32 home Premimume - now on laptop installed 2 modules of 1 GB of RAM (for mode dual channel)

  Q: if I replace the RAM to 2 modules of 2 GB of RAM this mode dual channel still & 4 GB RAM?
  -May support A300-145 4 GB RAM? and Vista 32? (Intel GM965 chipset have support 4GB RAM)

  Hello

  Satellite A300-145 was equipped with a Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset. Or I m wrong?
  AFAIK this chipset provides only the 2 GB support

  > If I replace the RAM to 2 modules of 2 GB of RAM this mode dual channel still & 4 GB RAM?
  32 bit Vista will recognize only about 3.2 GB.

• Satellite A300-243 - simple disk recovery & keys do not work

  Hello, I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite A300 243, and I decided to reinstall the system to Vista Ultimate 64 bit (because of the use of the 4 GB ram).

  It took me a few hours, but ultimately I found the necessary drivers and everything works fine, except one thing - multimedia keys (I think they are called easy keys). Start, Stop, next and preview track trace works great, but the first (default used for the activation/deactivation of illumination) and the second (default used for starting of W Media Player) do not work. I installed the latest version of VAP for Vista 64-bit and to Toshiba button support, I'm not able to change anything. The list, where normally I am able to choose a key to change its function, is empty. I found some similar problems on this forum, but no useful answer - lookes like the only way is to use the Toshiba Recovery option, and at this point, I get to my second problem.

  The second problem is in Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator and Toshiba HDD Recovery tool. At first, until I reinstalled Vista 64 bit version I wanted to create the recovery disk, but Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator just didn't start. Then I found the HARD drive recovery option, and I've read, that this tool is placed on a hidden partition, so I thought that I will be able to recover the old system with this tool in the case of any compication. Then I reinstalled the system and wish to return to 32 bits, because he looked like his slower and at first I was not able to find all the necessary drivers. And what a surprise - recovery tool has disappeared!

  The only thing I'm missing on the 64-bit version is now these two multimedia keys.

  And the last question - are there opportunities to get a recovery with Vista 64-bit disk?

  Hello

  As you said for easy keys or also called buttons lighting you need Toshiba value added Package. Satellite A300-243 belongs to the series of PSAG8E and that's why you can find all the drivers on the Toshiba site tools:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before installing the VAP, make sure that all the drivers are installed and for Vista SP1 at least. Then you can install it and normally then you can use the FN buttons for lighting, etc..
  Also, make sure that you have installed the latest BIOS for your laptop.

  Regarding your problem with the recovery disk creator and drive HARD recovery option, I can only say that these features are only available on the preinstalled version of Vista. This means that if you upgrade to Vista 64 bit you can t use HARD drive recovery option more and also the recovery disk creator.
  So if the recovery disc creator doesn't work you need to use HARD drive recovery option, but it is not stored on a hidden partition. These files are stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDrecovery. The hidden partition do you mean belongs is a feature in Vista: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Recovery_Environment

  But just a question: have you ever created a recovery disk?

• Satellite A300 - I lost the recovery partition

  I have satellite a300 with pre loaded Vista Home premium OS, for some reason, I had to format the entire disk and I lost my operating system recovery partition.

  Can someone help me get my operating system partition?
  I had checked with service centers, they said that I can use the BONES of similar model recovery partition.

  So I ask everyone if someone can give me the score of the OS, I would be grateful to them.

  Hello!

  I think that you do not understand something wrong.
  On Toshiba laptops, there is no recovery partition, they have HDDrecovery folder that contains factory settings.
  I have a recovery partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, not a Toshiba.
  Here is a useful link to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRE

  HARD drive recovery file is stored on the second partition of the laptop. You can use the disk HARD recovery function if you go into the advanced boot menu, choose repair my computer and select the recovery Toshiba HDD feature.
  But I think it's too late now

  Burn you the Toshiba Recovery disk? Normally, you can burn the original image which is stored in the file on a DVD HARD drive recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Therefore, you always get a popup that you must do this or message do not forget.

  If you don't l t this and you want the Toshiba recovery disc you must order a new one. You can do so here: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  I hope I could help you. Do you have more questions?

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - Downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hi all
  I just bought a new Satellite A300 laptop, preloaded with VISTA with XP Downgrade option.

  I finished the VISTA (Setup) and the recovery of the DVD. Now, I really want to downgrade to Windows XP, using the supplied with the Toshiba laptop recovery CD, but the instructions are vague.
  I tried F12 at startup and select CD/DVD as the boot, but it seems to hang on the black screen.

  There are files on the disc (3.2 GB) I covered it on another PC. I also tried the option of recovering your system start-up (F8), but it does not determine that the drive is a recovery / disk backup. I don't want to just run right XP installation of my copy of license of Volume for obvious reasons.

  Does anyone have information / procedure on how to switch using the Toshiba provided CD?

  Any help gratefully received.
  With our thanks,
  Stu.

  Hello!

  You hear that the drive reads the disc XP if you boot from it? What is the computer hangs on empty screen or if you get an error message?

  You can boot from another drive? Maybe the downgrade does not work properly or it s a problem with CD/DVD player. Check it!

  Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300: Move from Vista to Win 7 OS - Upgarde isue

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite A 300 series laptop PC with Vista Home Premium pre-installed.
  I want to swith over to Win7.

  My question:

  (1) if I format 'C' and install Win7 fresh, will I be able to use the recovery disk (stored on 'E') option to boot - recovery option F8 - repair - HDD to swith back to original Vista at any time?

  (2) how to ensure that all drivers in particular for all software from toshiba as "Disc Creator", "WLAN", "BT", 'Recovery disc creator', 'Toshiba DVD Utilities', "System Diagnostics" will be mounted like new?

  Thanks in advance.

  Dimitri

  > 1) if I format 'C' and install Win7 fresh, will be that I can use the recovery disk (stored on 'E') option to boot - recovery option F8 - repair - HDD to swith back to original Vista at any time?

  No, if you install Windows 7 on the C partition would have replaced the old Vista Boot Manager and disk for Vista recovery option will not be available.

  (> 2) how to ensure that all drivers in particular for all software from Toshiba as "Disc Creator", "WLAN", "BT", 'Recovery disc creator', 'Toshiba DVD Utilities', 'System Diagnostics' will be installed as new?

  Well, if you install Windows 7 and then the tools mentioned as Recovery Disc Creator or commercial DVD Toshiba could not be used because these done software part if the image only Toshiba! So if you are using Windows 7, you can buy such tools.
  All other drivers can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.

• Satellite A300: TRDC reminder & Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator works after upgrade to Windows 7?

  Hello

  I'm sorry for the bad English.
  Satellite A300.
  Has performed the update to Win7 upgrade Toshiba program.

  This program works;
  TRDC reminder and Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator after update to Wins7?

  The TRDCReminder program found no "revival of the computer.
  Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator program was created and incomprehensible?

  If what these program how to recover your computer in case of failure?
  TEMPRO works in Win7?

  Thank you very much.
  With greetings.

  Igor.

  Hello Igor

  In my opinion, you must create recovery disk before upgrade you to Win7. I did the same thing.
  Later, if something goes wrong, you can use your disks and install Vista using the created recovery disks.

  I don't understand why you want to wait and create these disks after upgrade. This recovery creator disc doesn t create recovery image in the current state, but always the same recovery image, you got with your laptop.

  TEMPRO should work in Win7 too.

• Can I send by Satellite A300-y00 for the recovery procedure

  I had the problem in my Satellite A300-y00, which are viruses, trojan or more than threats.
  I would like to ask if it is possible to refer to Toshiba to reformat with a new new?
  I mean will they install the same software with everything as a new included in order to remove all the threats.

  It will cost more?

  Hello

  As I m not wrong not the A300 was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
  This means that you can grab the laptop and set it to factory settings very easy and without use of the Recovery DVD!

  Then turn on the laptop, press the F8 key and choose the option called fix my computer.
  Then, a new screen should appear and you need to choose the last option called Toshiba Recovery or something like that.
  Then follow the instructions on the screen.

  The whole HARD drive must be formatted and new operating system with all the drivers must be installed

  Hello

  I think to buy a satellite A300-15B, which sounds like a great machine for the price, but when I asked at the store if I can run Vista 64-bit, they told me that I can't do.

  What is the point of having 4 GB RAM (8 GB disposable?) then?

  Please can someone confirm if I have the opportunity to opt or not? (Living in the United Kingdom)

  Thank you

  Have you checked page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com drivers download 64-bit Vista and the availability of tools on Toshiba?

  Check if the drivers are available for this model of laptop PSAJ4E.

  By the way: is 4 GB maximum RAM capacity for this model of laptop.

• Satellite A300-IH load Vista slowly

  Hello

  I just bought the laptop satellite A300-IH, but this computer is very slow to load vista Home premium.
  When I turn on my pc, I have to attend 3-4 minutes until I use the pc.

  I have not install the software.

  Help, please!

  Do you know why you Vista to load slowly?
  He starts slowly because of the high level background processes that are loaded at the beginning also.

  All the tools of Toshiba and preinstalled utilities are running in the background and they should be loaded at the beginning to make sure that all the features would be features correctly.

  If you want you can see the msconfig Startup tab and you'll find applications that are run in the context of the operating system.
  If you want, you can disable some but don t wonder if some functions will not work.

  Last but not least an Antivirus program may extend the time of start-up
