• Satellite A300-M01 - fingerprint - cannot open the sensor with Win XP

  Hello

  I got a Satellite A300-M01 with Windows Vista but my my software is very slow, so I'm a Windows XP Installer to put in. After that, the fingerprint reader no longer works the registration of fingerprints he'll only say 'Cannot open the sensor' and if you access the service of this device it says "specified device instance handle does not match this device."

  I already downloaded the driver for this sensor of isd.toshiba.com.au, but after the installation, the problem is the same. Any info is much appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  Have you installed the tools and all the other drivers of Toshiba?

  Search on the Toshiba site for a BIOS update.
  Maybe this can solve the problem.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - USB port and fingerprints issue

  Hello

  I'm starting this thread that I have problems with my fingerprint reader and my USB port.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-C01 laoptop. It was purchased in September of last year. I have not used it much except for the first week I had it, I've been away (Overseas), and I didn't take my laptop with me (I took a former I). There is no chance that the laptop has been used so that I was absent because I live alone and that the cell phone was simply sitting in the computer room.

  I started using it again about 3 weeks. Around a week ago, I noticed a pop-up (bottom left of the screen) telling me that a USB port had problems. I put my FlashDrive on the first USB port and at first, it was not recognized. I tried with another flash drive I have and who has been recognized. However, every time I start the computer I get who pop up telling me that there is a problem with the USB port.

  I also met a problem with the fingerprint reader. A pop up appears in the lower left side of the screen and say that the fingerprint reader was having problems. Happened since then that the problem with my USB port began to appear. About an hour ago, I checked the Device Manager and the fingerprints fingerprints/biometrics scanner does not appear in Device Manager.

  Has anyone else had this type of problem?

  What did you do to solve it?

  I would appreciate comments that I have no other choice at this time until Monday when the Toshiba support is available (they are available Monday to Friday).

  Thanks in advance,

  Deanne.

  First of all, you should try to update the chipset drivers and software of fingerprint. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  If it doesn't work you should try to update the BIOS. Check the Toshiba site for an update.

  In the worst case, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc. So you can make sure if it s a hardware issue or not.

• Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

  Hello

  I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

  1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
  PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

  2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

  3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
  PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

  4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
  You can find a useful article about this here:

  3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

  4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
  Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

• Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

  I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
  Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
  And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
  What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

  My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
  I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
  He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

  This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
  I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
  But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

  This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

  Tom

  The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
  If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

  > I have installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees. He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

  CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
  You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

• Satellite P500-12F - Question about installing the drivers

  Have recently bought a new P500 Satellite 12F and I am very happy with it. This PC came only came on the market on 29 Oct. I decided this pilot site updates, bios, etc. and was surprised to find a few tens of individuals in the list.

  When I rang Toshiba support he told me don't bother to install as there may be a danger and if if its ok market don't bother!

  I would like a second opinion please.

  Satellite P500 is newer model comes with the latest drivers, tools and utilities for Toshiba laptop.
  It turns out that the Toshiba doesn't offer updates every month and, in my opinion, you don't need any update to date.

  I guess that your series of satellites well and without some serious software problems. So, touch of an operating system and be happy with your new toy.

• 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.

• Satellite 2410-303: Question about software update and service in the northern part of Cyprus

  First of all, I have a Satellite 2410-303 and I hoped that I can update my toshiba but there is no my toshiba model name in the Download Center. It has 2410-303 in the Download Center and I install the update on my toshiba. This will damage my toshiba?

  Secondly, I recorded my toshiba. I can access my account, then I'll download center update but my toshiba model is not correct (Magnia 550 d isn't my toshiba). I do not have other updates. How can I solve this problem?

  Finally, studying at University of the Eastern Mediterranean in Northern Cyprus. I am waiting for this area, but I could not find any point of service. Is there any point of service in the northern part of Cyprus?

  Thank you very much for interested in my topic and your comments!

  The simple driver update will not damage your laptop but the incorrect BIOS.
  Anyway, Sam is right. The S in the first step means satellite. This is why you must use drivers for 2410-303. These are the correct drivers and they should work on the laptop.

  If you are looking for the right service partner I would say visiting this site:

• Question about reinstalling software multimedia DVD on a Satellite A100-049

  When I ran the system restore on my laptop Toshiba it put these two but I see no way to reinstall without restoring the entire drive to when I bought it all first. I always have installed WinDVD but took Ulead (I forgot the exact name of the DVD Media software) and can now re - install.

  Toshiba would send me a CD of installation appropriate for these?

  Thank you

  GMC
  If I were you I contact the next local service partner and ask them if they replace my CD of restoration with a new.

  What do you think? :)

• Satellite P200D-128 - Question about installed Norton anti-virus

  Hi, I bought a Toshiba Satellite P200D-128 last week and to say I'm majorly annoyed with Toshiba would be an understatement, and that understatement. Fine machine autoinstalled as its operating system, and I found I had Norton anti-virus installed, or at least I thought I had because a beautiful Norton logo quicklink arrived on my desk.

  In fact, only a partial shell of Norton installed and actually have an anti-virus properly functioning to connect on the site of Norton. This arrangement is just stupid, because I am well aware, surf the Internet without effective antivirus / anti-malware is not a question of if the computer will get infected, but when the computer will be infected.
  I have the experience to build my own desktop PC, and basically what I do is install an anti-virus package from the DVD drive with a front disc even connect the machine to the internet and then update the anti-virus software anti-virus Internet home before that I would all navigation on the web.

  Not only have a Norton Quicklink on the center of office crazy to think one has a functioning entirely anti-virus / anti-malware installed, but the partial shell of fools Norton also Windows Vista security in thinking there are a lot of anti-virus installed and it also disables the alert windows system that will remind the user of the computer if there is no antivirus installed package.

  This situation should never have been raised and I think it's a shame. Also criminal elements no doubt major behind the likes of malware, which struck upward on the ploy clever to have infected unsuspecting computer user with malicious software, which uses then the malware to put up a false messages of Windows operating system, which informs the user of the computer has been infected and asking them to download a fake anti-virus packages , must be particularly delighted with this situation, in that a user will be once they see such a message may well click the link of Norton and probably find their Norton is only a partial shell and then install one of the packages most likely fake anti-virus.

  If Toshiba and Norton had deliberately set to infect the computers of users with viruses and other malware, it is difficult to see how they could have done a better job of it, unless they had pre-installed viruses and malware themselves on the computer.
  I wonder, this case went to Toshiba and/or / attention of Norton and if so, what they had to say for themselves?

  Concerning the best and warm
  Adrian Wainer

  PS I forgot to mention that the partial shell package Norton also implements a toolbar in their browser, which reinforces even more the (false) impression that we have a fully functional package of the antivirus installed

  Hey Buddy

  I m bit confused about your ad and how you wrote this.

  I would like to mention a few facts:
  I m a Satellite P200 owner (it s even as P200, but with Intel the piece) and my laptop is equipped with the Norton Internet Security program.
  Of course, it s a subscription for 90 days, but it s a functional full version.

  Everything is pre-installed, but you need to configure and create a Norton account.
  I know because I read the instructions and information that are stored on my laptop.

  If you would in a full version of Norton Internet Security, you must create this account also.
  So you must connect to the internet also if you n t have an Antivirus Program preinstalled to set this up.

  Of course it must be updated also with the Internet because the antivirus definition file changes almost every time and the internet connection is required for this update.
  Why is it necessary? Because the image of Toshiba has designed several weeks ago and, therefore, the antivirus definition files is not updated.

  The same thing happens if you don t use the laptop for several weeks and don t perform the update of the operating system or antivirus.
  Don t wonder, therefore, you must connect to the internet to get everything updated.

  Please don t be angry with me, but I have my own opinion, you are one of the users who don t read the manual of the user or any other information that are equipped with Notepad and could be interesting for the use of the computer laptop but only start Notepad, install a few 3rd party apps and don t configure the operating system that is stored on the laptop.

  So I think that we could avoid this discussion if you read and check all detailed ;)

• Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

  My new laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. It is partitioned into 2 drives. My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software on it yet it shows 18 used and only 37 GB free. Can someone tell me why it does not show 2 and 55 GB free.

  Hello

  > My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

  I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
  I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

  You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18
  What's the problem?

• Satellite A100-599 - question about updating the display driver

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphics card and I like most of you Bioshock game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb... Meanwhile, NVIDIA has released some new patches for the Forceware and after I double checked the database of the Toshiba driver support I've seen a new version in the list of display driver for WinXp.

  One of them seems to be 13/09/2007. I have downloaded the drivers, installed them and then I checked the details of the driver in the Device Manager list and to my surprise the details say that the drivers are since 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in archive of drivers and surprise... the drivers really are the 'old' of 2006. So my question is this: you have the display drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D

  Best regards, Marian

  I Don t know if we. I think it would be took a long while to ask every single user: Hey, you have a few drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Some of them... ;)

  No, I have a better idea. It s like to cook a meal. Ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and... your your your TAAA patience

  To get a good 'bio' meal shocked just follow this recipe:

  Reach
  http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
  read before doing anything (YES, even before you continue to BREATHE) the FAQ section on this site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
  and then download the drivers. Do it, Yes...

  Then download drivercleaner by searching on www.google.com and THEN read their manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue to breathe..)
  After reading the manual you will be something like:

  1. program start, do something, restart the machine
  2. start in safe mode, from this program, deleting... yadayadayada
  3. install the new driver
  3. reading of Bioshock
  4...
  5. No... 6 thank. me and give me your first born... ;)

  So by cutting about 40% of my humorous things and following the constructive technical instructions from me, you will be able to play bioshock.

  Welcomes :)
