Satellite A300-16I: how to set up six buttons next to the switch ON / OFF?

Hello

I recently bought a Satellite A300-16I.
My problem with these media keys near the keys ON / OFF, it is that they always start Windows Media Player.
And because I rarely use this program I would set up, so that it would start Winamp.

If anyone has any idea how it's dan I would really appreciate to hear from you.

Yours,
Gahivelvel

Hello

I think that's not possible.
On my Toshiba laptop control buttons are preconfigured and the settings cannot be changed.

I presume that it of the case even on your laptop.

What OS came preinstalled on your A300?

If you are using Windows XP, then you can view the tool called; Toshiba controls
It s in the control panel.

Here you can configure the buttons; CD/DVD and lighting On / OFF

  • No Satellite A300 - 16I Conexant soundcard no hardware buffering?

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Satellite A300-16I (PSAJ4E). I downgraded from Windows Vista to Windows XP Pro and installed all the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba driver for Win XP for this model.

    Everything works fine, except the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 sound card can be run in software mode, according to a test of DirectX. It is said that it can not access the material buffer.
    Now all Windows system seems to sound like they are read at a sample rate different (about 1 semitone lower) they should sound.
    Also, when I play music on the built-in harman/kardon speakers, the sound has cracks and jumps into it and you can hear the speakers of the difficulty to play.

    As I remember, the sound was much better with the Vista driver when this OS was still installed.

    I tried a lot of things. Installed different versions of the sound driver from different sites, no luck.
    I'm running SP3, and I noticed a patch of Windows (KB888111) for SP2 that installs the Bus High Definition Audio. So I uninstalled SP3 and tried the hotfix, no luck.
    Also let Windows install the driver itself did not work, and there is no update driver on Windows Update.

    Any help is appreciated :)

    Kind regards

    Mano

    Sorry, but I want to clarify something. What you hear with * the sound was much better with the Vista driver when this OS was installed yet *? Much better? Do you mean the sound was good or what?

  • Satellite 2430-301: cannot use 2200BG WLan card because the switch is off

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 2430-301, which was not delivered with WLAN functionality. But I discovered, that there is a MiniPCI slot in the laptop.

    So, I bought an Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Minipci card. After that I joined the card in the laptop, it has been detected by windows as a new network device. I downloaded and installed the drivers of Windows XP (because I have Windows XP installed on the laptop) of Intel (9.0.4.17) home page. The installation worked perfectly.

    Now I tried to connect to a wireless network, but the software Intel says that the card is on 'off '. So I changed the menu drop-down on "on", which resulted in a mistake in German: "Die Intel (r) PRO/Wireless-Netzwerkverbindung ist noch deaktiviert.» Aktivieren Sie sie über your Hardware-switch. "(which means something like 'network Intel (r) PRO/Wireless connection is turned off. Turn it on with the hardware switch. »).

    Although the switch was already in position "on", I spent several times - nothing important happened. The led next to the switch will not illuminate in both positions.

    Are there problems of incompatibility between "Toshiba Satellite 2430 301" and "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG?

    I did something wrong?

    Is - this darn broken hardware switch?

    Any suggestions?

    I would be really happy if someone could help me :)

    Thanks in advance,
    Thuriel

    Hello

    The hardware switch led should light up if the switch is on.
    In addition if you want to use the WiFi network you must go to the WLan with FN + F8 option.
    In addition, you must check the WLan card properties in Device Manager. Here, you enter the Advanced tab. In the field of property choose radio power option and select the value to on.

  • Satellite A300-Y00 - how to use a joystick for games?

    How can I connect my Satellite A300/y00 with joystick so I can play without a keyboard because its very difficult to use?

    What one should I get, like joystick ps2 or gamepad xbox since the microsoft xbox and im using microsoft software such vista...?
    But my laptop has what we call the game controller in the Control Panel, it means that I always install the software to use the joystick?

    Thanx

    It s your choice what joystick you want to buy. Go to a computer store and take a look at all the joysticks and buy one of them.

    Normally you need a driver for the joystick, but the joystick should be bundled with an installation disk that contains the drivers.

    Good luck!

    The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.

    2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

    > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
    Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
    You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

    But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

    With regard to the sound:
    As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
    But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.

  • Satellite A300-148 how to increase the size of the graphics memory?

    Hello..

    I have satellite a300-148, I update my laptop RAM from 1 to 2 GB but the VRAM is always 128 MB. and in the toshiba site write this:

    ((Graphics Adapter:))
    Manufacturer: Intel
    type: Intel® GMA X 3100
    memory: up to 358 MB total graphics memory available with 2 GB of system memory
    memory type: shared))

    But my laptop no graphics card (intel GMA X 3100) is (mobile intel 965) how can I solve this problem?
    There are different between the two adapters? How to increase my laptop memory graphic size?

    Please help me...
    thanx

    Hello

    > How can I solve this problem?
    Problem? What is the problem?

    Take a look here on this page of the Toshiba hardware specification:
    [Satellite A300-148 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 150445]

    Laptop supports the Intel® GM965 Express chipset but the graphics chip is Intel® GMA X 3100
    As you can see the type of memory is shared
    What does that mean?
    This means that this graphics card shares memory with the main memory. Everything is controlled automatically by the graphics driver.
    If the memory of the graphics card is required then graphic driver would assign memory automatically to GPU.

    I hope this helps...

  • Volume wheel works but types the letter 'c' when used - Satellite A300-16I

    As the topic title says, the volume on my A300-16I wheel works as expected, the increase and decrease of the volume with side effect, irritating and unusual type the letter 'c' while turning.

    It's quite embarrassing because most media players have a function attributed to this key and it is now triggered whenever I change the volume. It happens very regularly (which leads me to suspect that it is not associated with driver/software), but more than enough to be a nuisance.
    Winamp is suspended, GOM player accelerates videos and my emails get c interspersed in them.

    Does anyone know how and why this happens and how it can be fixed?

    > After quickly turn the wheel back and forth for a few seconds the letter 'c' stopped appearing in Notepad (while the notebook was of course) and it is not yet arrived since then

    Thanks for this info! Maybe something assigned to the use of the volume knob but it s great to hear everything is working again.

    I have a relatively new Satellite A300 which was my serve. After turning on my laptop this morning, I found that the buttons of reading/Touch (the mute, play, stop, keys etc. which are located above the function keys) no longer work. The keys lights not when I turned on the computer first and did not work. After restarting my laptop, they have now come on, but do not work. Other software like Windows Media Player still work. If all goes well, can someone give me a race step by step through how to fix this, as I am not very familiar with the use of the computer? Very much appreciated!
