Satellite A35-S159: slow start after restore

A35 S159 purchased with Windows XP. Booted up one day that all the desktop icons are generic, none of them have worked, System Restore is not available and could not run anything from the command line. Used the recovery CD.
He initially thought that it was not started at all, but it will actually start and run normally after 10 minutes of sitting in front of the start screen. After the validation, there is a delay, followed by the white loading bar at the bottom of the screen and then the windows splash screen and the Green loading bar and there it is.

Can boot into safe mode without problem. Tried to go into msconfig, hide or disable all services, disable all startup items and making a selective startup. No change. No problem, indicated in the Device Manager. Ran the diagnosis of hard drive (Hitachi) and who retires.

What's next?

Hello

Usually after recovering the unit with the supplied all Toshiba Recovery CD should work properly. For me, this looks like something wrong with the HARD drive, but it is strange that it is possible to boot into safe mode without any delay.

Try to start the 'cmd' in the immediate window. Then try using the chkdsk /F command to check the HARD drive.

  • Satellite M45 - does not start after restoration on the new HARD drive

    I installed a new PATA 250 GB HDD on my pc. The BIOS is configured to boot from CD/DVD. Toshiba Recovery disk started cold, start follow-up statement to load a new system on the HARD drive. He made a (quick) format on the HARD drive, spent 50 minutes, copy the files from the CD to the new HARD drive. Followed the instructions to remove the CD and reboot the pc. Did. I get the Toshiba homepage for 2-3 seconds, and then I get a white screen with a white block cursor in the upper corner of the LH of the screen. Looks like it does not find the block on the HARD disk?
    The procedure of collection 3 times with the same results. Checked the BIOS to check that it is configured to boot from the HARD disk after installation.

    The recovery CD is blank. Never used because I bought the PC (3.5 years). Put the new HARD drive in a USB enclosure and formatted with Windows, tried again with the same result? Put the old HDD, PC starts and works very well. Put the live CD Knoppix and boot from that, works very well. See the new HARD drive.

    Thus, any suggestions are appreciated. The recovery CD Toshiba is defective? In any case to test?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sounds like a problem with the recovery disk or the new HARD disk if your computer starts up fine with the old HARD drive...

    In your case before you start a lengthy discussion, you should try a Microsoft Windows disk to install Windows. If he work it seems that only the recovery disk is defective.

    Otherwise, the HARD disk must be defective. Maybe a bad sector or something else

  • Satellite L300 - will not start after the installation of Skype

    My Toshiba Satellite L300 won't start after installing Skype.
    This happened to someone else, and can I do?

    Thank you.

    I think Skype is probably the most used messenger and ideal application for communication.
    It is professionally designed and programmed. As you know in recent years, it has been offered in many different versions and it is always better and better.

    So I think that Skype itself is probably not the problem. I know that a lot of people also use Skype and I've never heard problem described.

    Anyway, what you can try is to remove Skype and try to install it again. Try also push the BONES at that earlier time. Maybe some Microsoft updates are responsible for the stability of the software.
    It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • Satellite A35-S159: GLOBAL MODEM?

    Hi, I have a Satellite A35-S159. I willl work in Australia for next year and I came across some information recently that said to check if your laptop would work in Australia?

    Does anyone know if this brand is a "Global Modem" or I have to buy a 'Local PC Card Modem' on my arrival.

    You should check if the power adapter is compatible with the Australian powersockets and tension!

  • Re: How to prevent shutdown when closing lid Satellite A35-S159?

    I just inherited a Toshiba Satellite A35 - s159.I am running XP.

    When I close the lid, Windows stops.
    I like to keep things on, to be able to receive the updates and downloads.
    I see nothing in the 'control panel' to allow me to do.

    In Control Panel, there is "Toshiba power settings" but I seem not to be able to find a way to change a setting in there to keep things running with the lid closed.

    I see a PIN on the display cover that comes in contact with a switch when it is closed, then the computer shuts down.

    Someone at - it take this component out of sharpening? Is this the only solution?

    Hello

    You may disable this option in the settings of Toshiba Power Saver!
    This is without any doubt.

    I put t know what Toshiba Power Saver you but my Power Saver contains two tabs:
    Basic configuration and installation Actions.

    The Actions of the installer tab contains options and then I find the parameter called when I close the lid.
    I put this setting to no action.

    Now, I can close the lid and the laptop would still go and wouldn t stop or go in the booth of fashion.

  • Satellite L550 - system slow start

    Hi people!

    Got a new Satellite L550 running Vista 32 - bit, everything seems fine except for a few things on this machine that goes like this:

    1 system restore is one hell of a long process I have ever met so far-time is gasoline and 17 GB of restore disks its really a whopper!
    2. If you have any trouble with the 'text leap' (when entering) so I have. Sound the Alps Touchpad I found must be configured (by disabling the tapping) that's if you can find the tab 'Advanced' in the properties of the mouse
    3. I tweaked my startup programs, but this machine, of course, happens to a slow start. Any help here

    Otherwise a pleasure to have abandoned another manufacturing in favor of elegant, intelligent Toshiba laptop and hopes that its evidence switch!

    Hello

    I had a problem of cursor jump as well, but that was my mistake... I touched the touchpad accidentally during typing...
    I could solve this problem by disabling the touch pad using the FN + F9 key combination.

    PS; You have the latest version of the BIOS? Isn't it? Then update.

  • Satellite P35-S605 slows down after a few minutes, then BSOD

    I am running Windows XP Pro and have contributed the most to the RAM on my P35.

    I had a local computer repair shop disassemble, clean all the dust and junk on, remove the processor and reinstall using thermal transfer compound. The computer has worked fine until I did this. When I came back and turned it on it started OK but started to slow down until the barley by working, and then I got the BSOD. After the memory dump, it restarted and repeat the process. After having tried several reboots, I finally gave up and called the computer repair shop I had used and returned to them. After a day, they said, it must be my drive hard because they replaced my hard drive with one of their and he ran all night with no problems. I had an old hard drive that I had removed from this machine, a few weeks before to move to a bigger so I put the old back road. The same problem remained. I again called the repair shop and told them what I had done, but they said they couldn't help me. I'm not recommedn this shop to anyone.

    I was myself so after that reading many articles on the Internet, I desided to try to fix it myself. I erased the hard disk using a set 0 wipe the program. I did a disk image using Acronis before I took the computer to the repair shop, so I have restored the image. I still have the same problem!

    Someone at - it suggestions on what I might try (other than a clean reinstall of Windows).

    Say the event viewer when you start after an accident?

    Personally I'll be back to the top of what you need and try a new installation of windows.

    Check Device Manager and see if there is something contradictory too...

    In fact what would be useful is if you can list the steps you have tried so far, so we don't waste your time with useless suggestions :)

    I'll be watching this thread for an answer, so I'll get back to you.

  • Win XP on Satellite M30X does not start after battery was flat

    XP on M30X will not start after battery was flat! Safe mode, last work... nothing works!
    The restore CD offers 3 options1: new installation, 2 toshiba recovery utility (expert mode) und 9 output.

    How do the XP Recovery console, or how to use 2 to restore the system without losing any files.

    Thanks for the tips.
    It is a nite Mare...

    Wolf
    Good day

    The point is that the Toshiba Recovery CD does not have the Windows XP repair console.
    The restore CD contains the image of Toshiba and you can just reinstall the system on the HARD drive and no repair.

    Now you have 2 options of recovery.
    First called standard recovery option would be to format the entire HARD drive and reinstalling the image.
    The second option called recovery expert allows you to reinstall the operating system on a selected partition. Then only this partition will be formatted.

    If you do not want to format the whole HARD drive then you select the second option and select the partition to a new operating system.

    I bought 1 GB PC4200 533 MHZ DDR2 SODIMM memory module for my Toshiba Satellite L30 - 10v (PSL33E) to make it 2 GB. After you have added the 1 GB modules Satellite L30 wouldn't start. With only 1 GB, that it starts ok, with the other 1 GB origianal only boots ok. (The two modules are ZCE6 430 - K4T1G163QB Samsung 1 GB PC4200 533 MHZ DDR2)

    The two modules of 1 GB boot not together. I noticed that many others have had this problem. (please see
    This [t-22984]. post)
    On this forum, someone bought the CT12864AC53E memory module which works, however I can't find this on the site of Crucial.
    I've heard other purchase the sticks of memory CT572238 and CT572234 and have the same problems.

    Memory Advisor says determinative buy the CT572234 memory sticks.

    I have also updated the bios to V3.10, still does not start with the two modules.

    For me it s case;
    The two modules don't work together
    Seems the modules are not compatible there is only one solution. Replacement of RAM!

    Try other RAM modules.
    I bought a few modules from Kingston and made good experience

  • Firewall Windows disable the Internet Explorer loads Up after slow start after the installation of Windows updates

    Hello, (this the mystery of on and Off and back on Windows Firewall with slow loading of programs like Internet Explorer as this all is pass it on firewall, disable the firewall, the firewall, it occurs only during starts, after he fine / but very annoying on reboots whom he accuses of my computer down) / listed below is the cause of it , and when she first started, you have a solution?

    I recently installed the last 16 (High Profile) updates to security, for most security updates and updates from net framework as well as the removal of malware for windows XP tool.

    After installing these updates, now my Windows Firewall turns off during 'Boot Up' on all restarts. If I try to load Internet Explorer, it will also not load up to minutes serveral / while this happens... That's fine, then finally my firewall itself loads Up quickly turns to Internet Explorer and back on during this time around the same time.

    After these updates these things are happening on my computer now, it's as if there is a process running, but nothing run any virus, Trojan or worm etc just these updates caused this problem. I don't know if it updates is corrupt or not, but have tried different things as system file checker /scan etc with no luck.

    (1) computer boots to the top and seems to Load Up Fine ' until the ' or 'Look at this' but isn't, something is running in the background or process "wing unstalled" is obviously "unhooked", etc..

    2) try to load Internet Explorer last minutes and is very slow to load up, even if I 'don't load Internet Explorer' must still a long while that as in the firewall turn off for awhile some several «minutes» (way too long), before "auto turn on automatically return.

    (3) turns firewall Windows itself on "finally" as Internet Explorer finally loads upwards as well the two Internet Explorer is able to load 'definitely' and the firewall is on "finally" as many minutes later as listed above, at the same time.

    This could be the cause? Only, it has begun to 'After' I ran windows update and installed the 'most recently high security updates for windows XP' there were 16 listed mainly security updates and updates of net framework as well as the software removal tool windows malware.

    That's all that is changed on my system, I tried many things, nothing seems to fix this problem with my computer. I know for a fact that these updates are the cause, but am not sure that you caused it? Or how do to solve this problem, any sugguestions would be appreciated.

    Please answer questions following diagnosis by number in your very next answer (no need to quote this post):

    1. what application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    2 a Norton or McAfee application already installed on the computer?

    3. do you have a Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

    4. you are using IE6, IE7 or IE8?

    5. have you ALREADY had the opportunity to do a Repair Installation of Windows XP for some reason any?

  • Satellite L300-1AQ - slow start

    I bought one of these a few weeks ago. It takes more than three minutes to boot to the full desktop, I think that it is very poor. A friend has a non-Toshiba, which has a lower spec and it takes a minute. My son (even more low spec) Toshiba takes 1.5 minutes. I've already exchanged this laptop, but the alternative is just as bad - same again without installing any additional software. I contacted the assistance service, but they do not have much help telling me to use MSCONFIG and Google apps could be disabled - I've tried a few, but it made no difference. Most of the time is spent with a screen 'Please wait '.

    In my opinion a core 2 processor (T5800) with 2 GB of RAM it not delay it. If I can't get help from Toshiba or here then I will get a refund on this machine - much as I otherwise it - only 3 minutes to the loan is completely unacceptable, especially when it is lower spec machines are so much faster.

    Hello

    Many people here on this forum have reported the same. My answer is that you need optimal configuration of the operating system. If you have time, please take a look at thread
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=134947 where I described my experience with slow start.

    Please don't be confused because I write any other laptop model. In general this slow start is not mobile specific problem.

  • Satellite M200 does not start after the RAM 4 GB upgrade

    Hello

    I recently updated my RAM just to speed things up a bit as RAM is so cheap these days.
    I have a MEAC M200 T2130 Vista with 1 GB sticks (2 * 512).

    The new sticks are 2 * 2 GB Dane - elec DDR2 pc2-5300, when I put the two and restarted the hard drive light came briefly and then it is just options BIOS of Idol, no POST.

    I tried to use a single stick of 512 MB with two new sticks and they both work in a 2.5 GB configuration just not together that also this only works when the stick of 512 is in internal housing and not vice versa.

    So if someone has had a similar prob or can give me some advice that would be great, I'm not sure if the motherboard can support 4 GB?
    Thank you, Dave.

    Hello

    There are two possibilities why your M200 doesn't not start after upgrading RAM.
    First the RAM installed may be not compatible or could be faulty or the computer laptop doesn't support 4 GB of RAM.

    I put t know what M200 do you have exactly, but you can check the installed chipset and could check on the Intel page if this chipset would support 4 GB of RAM.

  • Satellite M40 - 129 stops starting after the Toshiba screen

    Hello
    My M40 continues sometimes to start after the Toshiba screen. He stops and all I see is the blinking cursor. No Error Message or something else and normal boot from the HARD drive. Boot from CD (for example. Œuvres of Knoppix). This problem sometimes occurs and traceable for me isn´t.

    Best regards
    Spoony

    Hey Spoony

    Unfortunately on this path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Each user has a specific configuration OS and we don t know how your operating system is configured.

    You can boot OS in safe mode? If Yes check what the problem may be a little. If there is anything you can do I recommend you save all your data and preinstall unit using rescue media. If you do this I recommend also to create two partitions.

    Don t compare WXP and Linux startup procedure. As you know that Knoppix using just the RAM and no HARD drive for the race.

  • Satellite M30-704 slow start and IDE #2 0203 failure message after replace it

    Hello

    two problems:
    first after replacing the cd/dvd drive, my computer does not start now automatically and displays a "IDE #2 0203 failure" message. I can start then it but all of that takes time?

    second problem: until I can access any program, a message will appear: "apdproxy.exe - Application error - the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006)" appears twice before so I can continue and then the computer is very slow.

    Can anyone offer solutions? (ps - these two problems are not related that they occurred the month apart).

    Thank you, Gardiner

    (1.) I would say that the BIOS can't handle the new drive correctly because wrong settings master/slave/c-salt but he s strange the player is running.
    I think you should check in the Device Manager, the primary and secondary IDE channels.
    The transfer mode must be on DMA if available and the type of automatic detection device

    2.), it seems the ' apdproxy.exe is a part of the Adobe Photoshop or a similar application.
    This software may cause an error. So just try reinstalling this program

  • Satellite A660 - slow start after installing Win7

    I have an A660. Satellite (model aus)

    I installed the 64 bit version of windows 7 and starting to take more than a minute. I was wonderign if I used a retail drive and used the serial number at the back of the computer laptop would it not be a better facility.
    Then, I would install just the stuff I need.

    Also, so I use a commercial version would drive recovery based HARD stop working? (because the commercial version may overweite some entries written in the section the drive boot HARD-now if I press 0 he goes to setup - if rerail version replaces this function would stop working?)

    Thanks heaps.

    Each Toshiba laptop comes with the Toshiba recovery image. This recovery image contains several specific Toshiba and utility tools that begin with OS and also some additional software.

    What you need now is the right configuration. With other words, you can remove the unnecessary software from the system and stop all applications, you need the startup list t.
    How to do this?
    Press WIN + R > write msconfig and confirm with OK. The system configuration will be open. Go to the Startup tab and clear the check box in front of app you n t need initially to the top.

    Of course, you can install a clean version of the OS, but for product activation, you can use the product key from the sticker. This license is for the version of Windows that you have with your laptop.
    HDD recovery works with the factory only settings. When you install the clean operating system, you will not be able to start. What you need to do is to create recovery DVDs after Toshiba s instruction how to do this.

    If you have any other questions please let us know.
