• How to install XP in Satellite A300-1BI with Vista

  Hello

  A few days ago, I bought a Satellite A300-1BI with Windows Vista preinstalled. I don't like this OS and I want to degrade for Windows XP and also install my Ubuntu Linux distribution, but I cannot install lame of them because the hard disk appears as "not connected" on men to install XP and Ubuntu... It seems that the laptop is made ONLY for Vista and I think that it's... pathetic...

• TOSHIBA Power Saver on Satellite A300 PSAGCE with Vista OS

  I just bought my new satelitte, but now I see that the best tool of the old line of Satelite is missing!
  ENERGY SAVING! I am running vista at the moment, but power saver is not what it seems!
  I was wondering if it's true, or it just nog is there in my language!

  If there isn't, I would suggest Toshiba, bring it back, but it is a most useful tool, mutch better then one that is standard on windows vista!
  If anyone has a solution, I would be happy to hear from you of course!

  PS I tried to install the version of windows XP witch that I downloaded from the Toshiba site, but it does not work on Vista of course!

  Hello

  Energy saver is installed under Vista too, and you can find it under:
  Start Options system & maintenance Power Control Panel > select a settings change plan Plan to modify the power Toshiba Power Saver advanced settings V.xxx settings

  As you can see that the parameters are not like before as Windows XP Home edition. The fact is that most of the settings is now controlled by Vista and Toshiba power saver has no great influence in the settings of power as before.

• Satellite A300-1BZ: %1 is not a valid win32 application after change of themes

  Having had my Satellite A300-1BZ for a couple of years now, I found myself suddenly bored standard vista themes and started playing with change them. (I was after a ultimate black watch with change start menu and buttons etc.)

  In any case cut to the Chase, I went wrong somewhere with VistaGlazz through to replace something like shell32.dll
  As it said in the readme file I changed it to shell32.dll.bak

  My computer has continued to run fine until I ran a reboot. After that, I got after the log on screen was a blue screen with a mouse.

  http://i69.Photobucket.com/albums/i53/eazynowrudeboy/IMG000030.jpg

  Luckilly I have an iphone so managed to get on internet forums and find a solution which was to use a command in cmd.exe that fixed the problem.

  The only thing is now that I have a very basic windows Classic theme that when I try to change to Vista in the theme settings it gives the message:
  * "the theme could not load. %1 is not a valid win32 application. "

  Any help and step by step for the user base would be much appreciated! I guess it can't be that bad since Windows is still running and working properly!

  Thank you

  Hi tarmacsnortingmonster,

  That is the reason why I n t play with any 3rd themes part because I always read from time to time on various problems after installation. So I don't use Windows themes pre-installed and don t have problems.

  In any case, I think you should try a system restore to an earlier point before installing this theme.
  I hope this helps if not it is time to reinstall Windows, I think that :(

• Satellite A300-1BZ running slow

  Hello

  I just bought a Satellite A300-1BZ and I am not very happy as the laptop seems to be very slow...
  I'm used to a 3 years old is not very powerful laptop and my new Satellite is most of the time slower.

  For example just to log in a 'normal' Web page processors must run at least 60% to 70% and keep this speed even just to keep the page running...
  Is this normal?
  I would have immagined such a new machine to be much better...

  Someone else has the same problem?

  Please let me know I think of sending this laptop back...

  Thank you
  AD

  I agree with Joey please don t forget an important fact. You use the Vista.
  Been to Vista specs and details?

  This new Microsoft OS is a monster. He eats the material resources and therefore you feel a slow performance.
  In addition, your laptop was equipped with different features and installed after many different applications that control functions.
  All programs running in the background s Vista and generally, they use a portion of the CPU performance too.
  All this can affect the performance of notebooks.

  So please don t compare this laptop with older laptops because most of these older machines is not equipped with the same characteristics and the same software!

• Satellite P100-160 with Vista: No TV-OUT after downgrade to XP

  Hi guys hope you can help me out here...

  I recently bought a laptop (satellite p100-160) with Vista on it to know that it was not compatible with wot I bought dethrone so I decided to downgarde for XP Home Edition... Solange decommissioning that I had to install a few drivers like there's do and everything went well...

  Anyway, a few weeks later (yesterday), I went to watch a movie and when I pluged in my tv out cable, I have nothing. I tried to unplug and plug in again a few times but still nothing, it normally switches on in about 20 seconds... So im guessing that either I need to a driver or a Summit.

  Can someone help me out here?

  Thanks a lot

  You n t need a special driver to use the s-video port.
  You must install only the compatible graphics driver.

  How have you tried to switch to the TV device?
  Have you used the FN + F5 key combination?
  You should do this.

  Connect the TV to the laptop using the s-video port. Then select the s-video on the TV and choose the right channel.
  Press the FN + F5 several times until you get a picture on the TV.

  Please note; Don t start the DVD software like DVD win until you have not enabled on TV!

• Cannot enable Bluetooth on my Satellite A300 - 1BZ

  My laptop package listed on bluetooth but I can't afford that. FN + F8 operating just shows WiFi power.
  Also there seems to be nothing in the Panel Manager or control device. I was wondering if maybe it was the bios previous to version 3.6 upgade the problem but I don't know if it's on before that.

  Sorry, but I didn t find info on BT on this laptop model - http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A300-1BZ/150957/

  Are you sure that this laptop has Bluetooth?

• Satellite A300-1BZ - 2nd location on hard disk?

  Hi friends

  I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I don't post under the good discussion!

  First of all, I wanted to know if a 2nd HARD drive can be added to my Satellite A300-1BZ (PSAJ4E-03L016KS)?

  If this is not possible, no one knows what is the largest (gigabytes) compatible HARD drive that can be installed on this laptop?

  Finally if one of the above options is available to what type of disc HARD would I have to install (size) & I would be limited to the use of a mark of toshiba HDD?

  Any comments would be appreciated!

  AFAIK the A300 supports SATA HDD and usually there is no limit!

  Theoretically, you can use all the available 2.5 SATA hard drives.

• Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

  Hello

  cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
  Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

  Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

  First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
  After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

  Simple disc burning layer without problem.

  Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
  Thank you
  Luci

  Hello

  tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

  I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

  Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

• Wi - Fi dies in Satellite A100/002 with Vista Business 64-bit

  Hello

  I have laptop Satellite A100/002 with Windows Vista 64 - bit Enterprise edition. My Wi - Fi died shortly after a random time. When I try to search for a wireless network, he found nothing. The only working solution is to restart the computer, and then it works fine until it dies again.
  I have updated the Wi - Fi drivers but it didn't solve my problem.

  It's really annoying especially when I play any game online.
  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Have you updated the BIOS? Check the Toshiba site for a newer version.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Also try an update of the firmware of the router. You can find it on the site of the factory.

  Last but not least, you must disable the security features of the router for the test. I mean hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so far.

  Also, make sure that the option of the energy-saving WLAN card is disabled:

• 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

• Intel Matrix Storage Console - Satellite A300-1BZ

  Hello

  I have an A300-1BZ and I noticed that the Intel Matrix Storage Console is informing me that I have 3 (0,1 and 2) SATA ports.

  He informs me that ports 0 & 1 are in use (I have 2 hard drives mounted) and port 2 is not used.

  What I want to know is - it possible that this small A300 that can accommodate a 3rd hard drive?

  The comments appreciated!

  As far as I know, none of the Toshiba laptops can operate with three hard disks.
  Two only. even more great multimedia models as Qosmio have two hard drives only.

• Satellite A200-1vp with Vista - code 39 of the CD/DVD drive failure

  Hello

  I was burning and watch DVDs on my Satellite A200 - 1 VP, with vista, since February, the last time I burned anything was a couple of weeks.

  Suddenly, there is a problem, no response when I insert a disc and my divx player says me no recorder found.

  When I am looking in the Device Manager I get the message 'windows cannot load the driver for this hardware' (code 39) "driver is damaged or missing.

  I tried to uninstall it and using the limit filter upper/lower of Toshiba, repair tool but on restart it still cannot install.

  Should I try the Toshiba Recovery Disc and lose a lot of that programs/files, as a last resort?
  Would this work?
  Anyone have any ideas?

  Here's an interesting article from Microsoft Knowledge:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  You must first access the Device Manager and should remove the reader of CD/DVD from the list of devices.
  Then should access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Reboot the laptop and check if the CD/DVD drive would work again!
