Satellite A300-1MX - get only to use 2 GB
Hello world
I have a question:
My Satellite A300-1MX has 4 GB of RAM... now that I have Windows XP Professional, its only able to 3 GB...
But how is it, I don't get to use 2 GB... Probably because my graphics card uses 1 GB.
How can I pass... as in how do I can change the amount of RAM uses the graphics card?
I've been usin Adobe after-effects, and in the options of memory & cache, it says I have 2 GB of ram maximum...
I want to say is that I buy a laptop with 4 GB and end use only 2 possibe really!
The graphics card (3650) a 512 dedicated... but sound using 1 GB.
I shud have 2.5 GB of RAM then if it wud be logical.
Can anyone help?
Thank you very much
Sasch
Hello
The 32-bit of Windows XP manages 3.2 GB of RAM max.
3.2 GB of RAM are only possible due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
The ATI graphics card supports dedicated video memory and he shares part of the main memory too.
But look, man. everything is controlled automatically. This means that the graphics card driver assigns parts of memory needed.
If memory is not necessary the graphics card driver assigns not all memory main room in memory of the graphics card.

Slow reaction of the media on Win XP buttons - Satellite A300-1MX
Hello world
I bought a Satellite A300-1MX about 1 month ago. I had XP installed on it. I installed all the drivers, etc.
The multimedia keys, however, are a little slow in their reaction, meaning: I press one of them (e.g. READING), then it turns on and outside as normally (at full speed), but then he only PLAYS the song after maybe 3-4 seconds.
The problem is that I've lived twice more that these media buttons reacted very quickly (so normal speed), and only two times this happened was when, once I played a PC GAME, and once I was using another program.
So it was almost like they wud answer quickly only if traore to be little RAM used, or some processor used. Do not know well, that's my theory.
Maybe somebody has a solution for how to get the media buttons respond quickly (normally) and not only after 3-4 seconds.
PS: I use the windows media player for media buttons.
Thank you very much!!
SaschHello
It is not easy to say what the problem is here. In my view, it is also important that opinion may be different on the speed, how he should respond. I put t know what you mean with slow or fast, but if the player has already opened the music should start playing immediately.
When you press play and wait for the application to open can only takes a few seconds to start, and it is nothing unusual.Another important point is preinstalled WXP. Have you noticed that normal speed with Vista preinstalled?

Satellite A300 - 1MX Win7: can't capture video from conencted Camcorder FireWire
Hello
I have a problem with the video capture from a Sony TRV60E with a Satellite A300 1MX and Windows 7 camcorder via the firewire connector.
The camera is not recognized (or more) Windows.
I already changed the firewire driver under windows to the "legacy", also often described in other forums.
And for a few hours, everything worked fine. The camera has been recognized and Pinnacle Studio 14 could capture video of him.But after eight hours, the camera was suddenly is no longer recognized.
-l' camera is immediately recognized by a XP system
-On the system W7, I uninstalled, reinstalled the driver firewire, powered down the material (shot of power and the batteries for several minutes), but nothing helped.I may have a different firewire driver? Or another operating system?
Thank you.
kJIt is not easy to say what the problem is here.
For confuses me the fact that cam has BEEN recognized in the past and now for some reason any it is not recognized correctly.All devices are properly recognized in device (firewire port) Manager?
You can test the firewire port using another device?You have discovered what may be the problem. Test port firewire with other devices to see if other devices will be recognized correctly.

Satellite A300 - Touchpad gets too hot
I bought a Satellite A300 last week and I noticed that when I use the computer for an hour or so the touchpad becomes very hot.
And also the area of the left hand next to the touchpad.Is this normal? Is there a way to reduce it?
Thank you
Pedro.
Hi Pedro,
I put t know what what is for you hot and wasn't, but on my Toshiba Satellite laptop I've never had a problem that it too hot.
Normally, I recommend to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air, but I think that is not necessary because the laptop is only a week.
Maybe the fan or the heatpipe is malfunctioning. Or the thermal grease to be renewedI put t know but in your case, I would go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and it should be free, because the laptop must be under warranty if it s a week-old.

Satellite A300 - 1 5 - can I use Windows 7 on it?
Hello..
I have this laptop: [Satallite A300 - 1 5 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055589].
I want Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on my laptop, now the laptop already has Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit. I can't find drivers for my laptop to Windows 7 at the download page. Is this ok just to install Windows 7 and use the Vista drivers as new windows has good compatibility with very old components?
Any who tried Windows 7 on his laptop without having driver support for windows 7 to access to its model of laptop?your comments are much appreciated.
Hello!
Yes, theoretically you can not install Windows 7 that s no problem, buddy! In addition, most Windows Vista drivers are working on Windows 7 too so he should t be a problem for drivers.
At the moment there is no official driver and it will take until the official Windows 7 release.
Do you have more questions?

On Satellite A300-1MX webcam does not work properly
After my windows Vista system crashed 16 December 2011, I had made recovery.
After that, I have not found any driver for the webcam on the computer laptop everything. On the Toshiba support page, I finally found the 1.7 version, but this does not at all!He always appears: driver Webcam open fails, restart the computer or the camera. Since it's built in camera I tried with the restart of the computer, but which did not help at all. So I tried with the option to repair the driver with Install Shield Wizard. The program has done something, but without success.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not help at all!
Someone has an idea?
Hello
Found an article in the knowledge base of Toshiba which describes this error and provides a solution to this problem.
+ Why displays the error message: "Webcam driver open fail. Restart the computer or the camera. » ? +
+ http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT84026F0000R01.htm+But its related to Portege M600 and Satellite U300 only.
However, you should also try to perform a BIOS update. After that, set the BIOS to default settings and save the changes. Then try to reinstall the software of webcam once more.You should also check the Device Manager. Here in Device Manager that the webcam should be recognized as a USB device, if this isn't the case, then it means that the webcam was not recognized by the OS and that means there could be a hardware problem
As far as I know, the webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard. If the cable connection is lost, then the webcam is not recognized in Device Manager; or as a USB device or an unknown device.

Satellite A300-1mz - duration of battery use
Hi all
I have a * a300-1mz * recently over a year and I would like to know the battery of your model of the mine.
My a300' is very low for me... * on the 1h30m
Give me everything consults to check the battery warning level (wear) and if it would be good to do the calibration (and how)
Tanks...
Hello
1.5 hours is not bad!
Battery working time is always based on the use of the laptop.
Battery needed to dump applications much faster running who need more performance for laptop.For example, to watch DVDs;
In these cases, the reader of CD/DVD to run all the time. This waste a lot of power.
You can reduce the brightness of the screen in order to increase the working time of battery.But note; sooner or later, the battery would die that s normal and during the use of the laptop the battery loses the own performance.
You can try to calibrate the battery; Completely discharge the battery and charge it again. Repeat this several times

Satellite A200-1TS - get only 117 Mbps on Draft N
Hey there,
I have a Linksys WAG160N (large router).
The problem is here, in my laptop (running on Windows 7), he gets up to 117.00mbps...
But on the other hand, sister of desktop PC (very old haha xD) with an of D-Link USB wireless adapter, he gets up to 320mbps (or 240mbps one of those who do not remember) but way higher than my laptop.
Why?
I really want my laptop by wireless but I want him to have several Mbps wireless-n, that should I do or what is the problem?
Hello
Depends on the speed of transmission of data to the server where the data would be received. This means that your download speed is different. Sometimes it could be higher, and sometimes it might be lower.
In addition, it seems that you share the connection with other computers.
This could affect the speed too.Finally and above all your OS is not a final version. There are still many bugs.
I put t know if it s related to your Win 7 but nothing is impossibleCheers mate
