Satellite A500-026 - can't do anything that involes network

I bought a Satellite A500-026 and just out of box.

Can't do anything that involves networking, they all freeze or load in white, internet Explorer does not open to the top at all. I can't activate my firewall or antivirus on.
Not to mention its quite slow for a new machine with a processor P8800 (my laptop 5yo is faster).

Stuck

Hi mate!

Can you notice any other problems with the laptop or simply with the network connection? Furthermore, you hear a LAN or WLAN connection?

What OS are you using and what 3rd party programs have installed you?

In your case, I'll try to update the drivers and maybe a laptop recovery facility. You should try it with factory settings (preinstalled OS from Toshiba).

    I swear that not more product Toshiba for me, also include my family and all my friends.

    Hello

    I have no idea of what has happened with your laptop, but according to your assignment, the laptop freezes even using HARD drive recovery.
    In your case it s recommended to contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country. The laptop seems to be covered by the warranty that is why everything should be done for free.

  • Satellite A500/026 No connection using LAN

    My Toshiba Satellite A500/026 is about a month and today I finally had the time to try to connect to the Internet. However, to plug the ethernet cable from my modem to the laptop, there is no Internet connection.

    I tried to connect the same cable on my Satellite Pro A300 and all right. If I'm missing something on my A500?

    Hello

    Are you sure that the internet connection is not blocked by a firewall or other security that is installed on your system software?
    Check it!

    In addition, you must check if the network card is working properly.
    The LAN driver must be installed and you should not see any yellow exclamation in device-> network cards Manager.

  • I can't open anything that uses Windows Explorer...

    I just installed Office 2007 and now I can't open anything that uses Windows Explorer. This includes the trash, all files and folders, same control panel. The only things I seem to be able to run correctly are programs. When I try to open anything, I get a popup window stating "Windows Explorer...". (Not responding) "and it will remain forever as this very pretty. After some clicking, it will inform me that Windows Explorer has stopped responding and that I can force close, waiting, etc.

    I can't open all the products of the 2007 Office Suite that I just installed but I can't delete them either, since I don't have access to these files in the Panel. I checked in the file manager, and he said I actually opened these programs (I had 6 cases of execution of Excel), but they do not open and are just frozen on my screen.
    I tried xplorer2 download and access control by that Panel, and it froze AGAIN, although I could enter some of my files that I could not earlier.
    What can I do if I can't access control panel to remove things or to restore my system? Should I delete the MSOffice registers?

    Fixed! Ignore the previous message!

    It was something within the Office itself, which was to ruin. I ran the diagnostic tool of the Office she found an error of diagnosis, repaired, Office has been able to open (and then I had my Windows Explorer as well back function). Woohoo!
    For those who have similar problems, I did start > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Tools > Microsoft Office Diagnostics and he ran.

  • Problems with the sound function and scrolling on the touchpad on my Satellite A500/026

    Hello

    I just brought a new laptop A500/026 and when I play music from my ipod I get a little static pop sound at regular intervals during the song... this happens on all my music. I accidentally scroll horizontally through my touhpad and my screen minimizes or maximizes. I try to find how I did it, but can never seem to return to its normal state. There is obviously some sort of function here, can someone help me with it? I installed the x 64 bit version of windows 7.

    Thank you

    Eddie

    Hello

    The touchpad settings are placed in Control Panel-> mouse
    You can find the additional tab which would be you can access touchpad properties.

    As I know the touchpad properties contains many different options that allows you to configure the scrolling function, to activate and assign different actions to the touchpad corners, etc.

  • Satellite A500-13F: can I install drivers for ATI page?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A500-13F with graphics ATI Radeon HD 4650.
    Can I install drivers from ATI downloaded from their site? I ask because theres a note on downloading the page saying as follows:

    Following books are not supported in this version: *.
    *...*
    * Computers laptop Toshiba (Please check with your mobile phone OEM for support of the drivers for these books) *.
    ...

    What does that mean? Do I have to install these drivers, will they work?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Still, you must download the drivers from the Toshiba driver page because they are pre-tested. Talk to the graphics driver, it is modified and a protection against overheating. So, I'm not advice you to use the ATI drivers. You can use them, but at your own risk.

  • Satellite A500-026 - the speakers crackle

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with creaking speakers with their A500-026?

    There seems to be some problems on the internet with other versions of the A500. This computer was shipped with Windows 7 and has always had problems with the Crackle of the speakers, and in particular with iTunes and Media player. Some people have apparently corrected this with driver updates, but NVidea State should not update to say or the present update of Toshiba.
    Toshiba does know that there is a problem?

    Should I just return the computer because it is pretty useless if the speakers do not really work! I only got it since November.

    Any advice welcome.

  • Satellite A500/026: problems in streaming/watch online videos

    Hello

    I didn't know where to ask for help, so I thought start id here since I just bought my Toshiba A500/026

    basically im having problem watching/streaming videos online. regardless of the source of the video, youtube, megavideo, veoh. the problem is that I have to wait as the entire video to load and then it starts to play. I can't look at it that it broadcasts.

    It don't tell me his load, it shows just a black screen and then all of a sudden it goes to show that the bar is full and video starts, now it is on short vids because it does not take long, but for movies, it fails generally as they take too much time to load the site will usually come with a mistake.

    Now Ive got to look on the web and I can't find this problem else where, ive checked that I have the last abode flash installed and driver debugging. usually, I use firefox, but im getting the same problem on IE.

    any help would be approeciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Maybe you installed a few 3rd party applications that affect the streaming
    Mate sorry but I have no idea why you can not watch the movie, while streaming is running.

    Have you installed codecs?
    Maybe you should do that I m using the K - Lite Codec Pack.

  • Re: Satellite A500-1GL - Can t Access BIOS aftre updated

    Hello
    I have a laptop A500-1GL.
    Yesterday, I checked that the drivers download page, just to check if there is something new. and I noticed that there was a new version of the BIOS.

    My old BIOS:
    SystemBiosVersion: 1.6
    SystemBiosDate: 05/06/10

    the Web site was:
    Version: 1.7
    Date: 29/07/10

    So, I downloaded this file and flashed the BIOS... after the reboot, I checked the "regedit". and the version was changed to 1.7, but the date remains the same (05/06/10)!

    Now, this isn't a big problem - I know, but I wanted to check the BIOS configuration (before the start).
    So I restarted the laptop, you press "DEL"... nothing happened, went straight to Windows!
    I tried again, with F1, F2 ~ F12... anyway.
    So, how can I access the BIOS Setup screen? I tried re-flashing the BIOS again, but he keep saying that I already have the new version, so I can't flash.

    any ideas?

    Hello

    > So, I restarted the laptop, you press "DEL"... nothing happened, went straight to Windows!

  • Account administrator time full restrictions applied to it, can't do anything that requires administrator, even know the password

    Hello

    I currently have two user accounts on my PC. They both used to be administrator accounts, and to make a long story short, he ended it with an account that has administrator access, but that the account has been completely time limited by parental controls. The other account is a Standard user account that is incapable of doing anything that requires access administrator because of time restrictions...

    It gives me the message "logon failure: violation of account logon time restriction.
    I'm at a loss what to try then, seeing as how I can't install applications to fix and can't change anything without Adminstrative Priveleges.

    Thanks for any help,
    Nick

    Hello

    If you cannot disable the parental control using administrator accounts, if possible, try to create a new account and check if you can or not. If you can not always, unfortunately you will need to back up your files on an external and reinstall Windows.

  • Missing Audio device (Microphone) on the Satellite A500-026 (PSAR2A 026002)

    Hello list!

    I have a laptop A500-026 Toshiba for presentations (via overhead projector) and internet communications (Skype, etc.).

    At a recent presentation, I was using the internal speakers of the place (plug in the line-out jack on my A500), but to receive a feedback from my microphone, I had used successfully in my Skype (using the built-in webcam and microphone on the A500). I tried all the solutions to cut the microphone (by selecting RIGHT click the speaker icon - recording devices do not seem to cut the Microphone) and finally the pressure and the stress of the situation too rolled my given what I was actually doing.

    Now, I don't have ANY "recording devices" AKA Microphones on the system, and I spent the last 4 days trying to reinstall the built-in microphone. I reinstalled the RealTek drivers, but there is still none identified microphone.

    All help to restore the built-in microphone of A500 would be accepted with gratitude!

    Megan in Sydney

    Hello

    You should check if the microphone has not been disabled.

    Go to control panel of-> sound-> recording tab
    You need to right click and must enable both options called hidden devices and see the disabled devices.
    Now you should see 2 microphone inputs; a second and internal microphone should belong to the external microphone jack.

    If you want to use the internal microphone and then mark it as a default device.

    See you soon
