Satellite A500 - 13W HD4600 v8.634.1.0 ATI works very slow with large excel sheet

Hello

I have the problem that my old IBM T43 in the very fast work of the factory with some Excel sheets. My Toshiba and more recent need spend a lot of time the term of the leaves.

I don't know if the video may be the problem, or...
1.

Anyone know how I can test the video?
How fast it works with excel?

I use the updating of toshiba, so I hope I have the drivers actually.

Thank you very much

Jürgen

Hey,.

Do you use the same version of office on two laptops? Normally the A500 is equipped with Office 2003 and Office 2007 version of trial and that s a little more slowly or more, in my opinion. So this could be one of the reasons for this.

In addition, you play a little with the power settings. Try it with balanced and efficient fashion. It is best to watch videos and play games.

If you have a large Excel files, try to defragment the HARD drive. It is always useful.

  • 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.

    Hello.

    The carpet * a dvd multi drive uj - 841 s that came with my satellite pro a100 written on very slow DVD. Firmware 1.50
    I use good philips and kodak media (both rated 16 X).

    now, I know that the drive is only rated at 8 X max. But I can't even reach 6 X.

    A firmware update would solve this?

    Hello

    To my knowledge, some burning applications control the burning speed to obtain the best possible results from burning
    As you probably n t know the speed of combustion higher risk of burn errors
    I burn my DVD only using a single 1 x speed.

    Then I can be sure that all DVD players would be able to play the burned DVD.

  • Satellite A500-13W - after update BIOS the FN buttons do not work

    Yesterday I updated my Bios of my laptop to 1.50. After that the FN buttons no longer works. Can someone help me? ^ ^

    Sorry for my bad English

    Hello

    You have installed the correct version of the BIOS of your laptop?

    Features of FN buttons are normally not depending on the version of the BIOS. So, you need Toshiba value added Package and utility tools to Support Flash Cards. Then I recommend to reinstall two of them.

    You can download it here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Remove all older versions first. Reboot then install VAP and finally Flash Cards Support utility.

  • Satellite A500-13W - fan changes speed

    Hello

    my laptop has always changes the speed of the fan from 70% to 90%.

    I recently installed the latest version of the Bios but does not solve the problem. As I write this text Toshiba PC Health Monitor indicates that the CPU temperature is 40% and the fan speed is between 80% and 90%. I put my laptop to the power saving mode, but why the fan operates at high speed?

    Is there someone who has the same problem or is this just me?

    Hey,.

    Did you check if battery optimized cooling method is defined in the parameters of the plan power Windows?

    Can I ask you if you use the preinstalled Windows operating system from Toshiba?

    Overheating can be caused by the driver display so it of important that you use the latest version of driver Toshiba screen.

    OK... I have some post mainly about performance drop and overheating so lets keep this simple.

    Here are my problems:

    1. I updated my graphics driver but it has little or no effect on the high temperature

    2. I noticed that whenever I play games (the dawn of war 2, dragon age origin) the fan made little or no sounds, and only hot air comes out

    3. no fan noises--> does not overheat---> shut down

    4. the only time I hear the fan screams hard is when I restart the laptop

    5. I don't know about you guys, but I start having probs since the update of the bios (my insticts told me that I should not have the update, but I did anyway)

    6. If it is a bios problem (which I'm sure it is) can someone send bios 1.30 for me? I called and email my PSA (PC World, UK) and they told me to get it from toshiba which I don't know how to contact them. (my email is [email protected])

    7. If you help me you'll have 7 models from victoria secret for wives and 2 beautiful children

    tank yuh!

    Hi mate,

    You ask first: are you running factory settings and display driver are you using? I also noticed a problem of overheating with non-Toshiba display so drivers since their I choose only the drivers of Toshiba.
    Check this box!

    I m wondering a bit about your statement of your ASP normally you can get the BIOS directly from them. Was it an official Toshiba authorized service provider?
    On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them and these guys here, you can also get older versions of BIOS

    Hello

    Well, it can happen that some keys stop working after several months and you can't do anything.

    You must contact the authorized service provider for a new keyboard because some individual keys can be exchanged, only the entire keyboard.
    Your laptop is only 6 months old, and then the repair is covered under warranty. :)

  • Satellite L30-101 very slow with Vista

    That's old for a few days and the slower machine, I've ever had. Anyone have any idea what I can do to speed it up.

    Is there a free windows xp I can install that I already hate this vista.

    I bought 3 toshiba laptops in the last 2 months and you have to admit that I didn't notice that this was not the same as the other 2 are excellent.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > Is there a free windows Xp I can install
    No, certainly not.

    Have you ever heard or saw that the computer manufacturing would offers a complete operating system DOWNLOAD?
    I n t. I think it would be for the account of Microsoft!
    If you want to use another OS you have to buy it and then you can install it on your laptop

    To my eyes, the unit is slower with Vista because this OS's need and waste of many remedies for laptop.
    In my eyes he of a a big drawback of the new Vista operating system

  • Questions about TV Tuner Satellite A500/040

    Hi all

    I'm new to the Tuner of TV analog digital hybrid and I'm sorry if my questions seem as stupid.

    I have two questions about the of digital TV Tuner analog integrated hybrid in the Notebook Toshiba Satellite A500/040. My understanding is that the TV tuner hybrid integrated able to decode TV signals high definition and their display on TV via its HDMI port. I wonder if I could watch TV shows on your laptop without connecting to a TV. If so, is the software needed? There are several USB TV tuners for desktops and laptops on the market, A500 hybrid TV tuner works differently these USB TV tuners?

    Thank you

    Young

    > I think I know that the TV tuner hybrid integrated able to decode TV signals high definition and their display on TV via its HDMI port.

    N ° this s tv tuner not a HD!
    It s a digital tuner that provides digital video signal 576i and not 1080i.

    Of course, you can use the HDMI port to connect the laptop to the LCD HDMI port but you will not get the quality video full HD as blueray for example.

    I found this Australian page from Toshiba:
    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products/notebooks/satellite/A500/psam3a-04000e

    You will find this passage short text:
    + With tuner TV built-in, you can even watch analog or digital TV everywhere where you travel, while the HDMI ports make connecting high definition on your TV screen and sound system. +

    You can also watch TV on mobile phones display! It's a key reason why the TV tuner built in ;)

  • Satellite A500 and annoying problem HDMI

    Hello world

    I bought a Satellite A500 a year ago and I'm trying to use it with my Pannasonic Veria Plasma TV connected via HDMI. The way I use it is I leave the HDMI cable connected all the time and then swap between the use of the TV and my laptop. The problem I have is that it will not failover to the HDMI, I even try to disconnect the cable and by him plugging back in - then the screen turns off to switch but then it goes to the rear of the laptop screen.

    After doing during up to 10 times it will eventually reverse but will then swap back to the laptop after about 10 seconds and that case I must keep trying until it finally works - VERY BORING

    Hoping someone can help.

    Thank you

    The

    And what happens when you start your laptop without HDMI cable connected?
    Connect when the OS is fully charged, then when the active TV and HDMI port correctly, try to switch to TV ONLY using FN + F5.

    It works or the same thing happens again?

    I understand your question, but there is not a special solution. Connection HDMI either works or not.

    By the way: do you use original with Toshiba drivers Toshiba (preinstalled OS) recovery image?

    Thank you much in advance. I would appreciate your contribution.

    FB.

    I googled around and found many forums where people discuss about this, and it probably has something to do with the graphics card.
    Maybe you should back up all your important data and install the operating system using recovery disc HARD (F8) option. Test a few days without having to install additional software.

    If the problem recurs, maybe you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • Satellite A500 - screen is completely black

    I got my laptop Satellite A500 for about 4 months and already there is a problem with it.

    After that I had played a few MMO on it for a while so I decided to power out of the night. The next day I started my A500 and there was a completely gray screen and I waited for at least half an hour before holding the power button for 6 seconds just to restart, so when my A500 started to the top of the screen was completely black, but the power LED light was off, but the only lights which were the key commands on the Panel next to the screen and the power light to indicate that it carried out.

    After several tries, the problem had been held, is anyway to fix this?

    Hi mate,

    Have you plugged an external monitor? I mean without it it's hard to say what causes this problem, but I guess that he associated material s. So if the external proceedings, I think that only the internal display is the cause maybe the FL inverter?

    Anyway, in both cases you need assistance from an authorized service provider. Guys can check your laptop and fix it for you. :)

    In your case I would recommend to check if all the necessary drivers have been installed.
    For example the Chipset Utility must be installed. It is very important.
    There is also the USB Sleep and Charge utility USB Sleep and Charge utility. This utility is able to activate or disable the USB Sleep function and fresh. It shows the positions of the USB ports supporting USB Sleep and Charge function and shows the remaining capacity of the battery.
