Satellite A500-14i - ATI CCC entry is missing

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 14l with a mobility radeon HD4650.

I have replace Vista by Windows 7 in September 2009 (thanks to msdnaa), installed the latest driver I found. A few months pass, I decided to update my graphics driver. As you can see, there is no updated driver for Windows 764-bit for my laptop model psam3e.
http://Fr.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=FR give me the ati 8.563.1.5 or 8.634.1 driver

I tried the catalyst 10.7 (8.753) to use the acceleration of the ITA with vlc 1.1.1 so I cheat, I claim that my laptop was a L670-psk3ee to get a 8.712.2.1 version of catalyst.
That works very well, and it's the only way I found to get a 'almost' updated driver. Then, I installed the Hydravision game.amd.com site (because it is not included in the driver from toshiba).
Now, entrance to the CCC in the right click is absent, and the hydravision tab is missing in the CCC too. I never see this problem before, so if someone has an idea...

Thank you in advance.

PS:
* With the help of Windows 7 64 bit and day, except ati driver because of politics of toshiba.
* ccc means Catalyst Control Center. the shortcut in "all programs" works very well.
* Hydravision is a useful tool to manage the multi desktop and display. As there is no entry in the CCC I can't set it up, but the multi-Bureau exe works very well also.

Everything works fine on my computer (laptop), so I think that the problem came from driver Toshiba (as AMD cannot provide a generic because of the specific feature added by toshiba, like monitoring the temperature & cie). I'm so interesting in the ability to add CCC on the shortcut menu and add the Hydravision tab to the CCC.
PS 2: I already uninstall - registry clean - reinstall the driver Ati & hydravision, it does not work.

Hey,.

You can t use AMD drivers directly because they are designed only for cards of office. There is no mobile driver that works with a graphics card for laptop. I think that's the reason why the CCC entry is missing.
Please remove this driver and install the official version of the Web from Toshiba site.

But a point would be interesting to know:
Why you trying to update the display driver? If everything is working properly, no update is necessary! :)

  • Re: Satellite A210 - 1 4 - ATI CCC does not work on Vista

    Recently, I was unable to open on my laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 ATI Catalyst Control Center. When I click the icon of the CCC on the start menu, the icon opens but when I right click on it and select Catalyst Control Center nothing happens but the icon is still there.

    I had a similar problem a while ago but instead of doing nothing, the splash screen appears, and then Vista displays the message "ATI CCC has stopped working".

    Any ideas?

    Hey,.

    If Catalyst Control Center won t open, it could be something wrong with the display driver I would recommend reinstalling the the official website of Toshiba display driver:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Simply search your laptop model and download the new version. Before installing, remove the old first and restart your laptop. Then install the downloaded version.

    It works for you?

  • 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.

    My volume icon disappeared from the taskbar (Satellite A500 / Windows 7). When I right click on properties to display the 'enable or disable system icons', the volume icon is there, but can not change off to on as the 'stop' is grayed out.

    Someone at - it indexes?

    Hello

    Maybe your card its isn't recognized properly. Have you checked for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager?
    Maybe the audio driver. You can find the latest version on the Toshiba site.

    Normally you can toggle the icon of volume if you in Control Panel > sounds and Audio devices.

    And why you didn t do?
    Maybe you run an earlier version of the display drivers and so you should uninstall them before you start the upgrade.

    Anyone have any ideas here?

  • Satellite A500 - unable to connect to the WLan

    I'd like someone to help me.

    Have recently bought a satellite A500.
    I'm new in the world of laptops so I'm wrong.
    I connected to a router via a modem, the two netgear, the news.

    Had the two config for my network. Works well as long as ethernet is connected to the router of computer.

    My wireless icon on the front of the laptop is orange.
    If this should be green as the router?

    Pressing FN f8 it tell me wireless is connected.
    When I remove the ethernet cable it tell me to fix the problem, I need to plug in the ethernet cable.
    But I want to go wireless, I'm sure I'm missing something.

    Rang netgear but after that my router and it is not connected to wireless technology they could help me more.
    I use windows7.

    Thanks to anyone who can help me.

    > My wireless icon on the front of the laptop is orange.
    > Should it be green as the router?

    The WLan led can only be ON or OFF. If the light comes on (any color) then it means that the Wlan switch is on!

    It seems that the WiFi is enabled. In this case, you will need to properly configure the WiFi network.
    You can use the own WLan settings in Windows or a Wlan configuration tool like Intel ProSet utility.

    First need choose the right SSID (wireless network name), right of encryption (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password encryption.
    Please note that all of these parameters should be the same on the router WLan and WLan configuration software!

    Please check if the firewall does not affect the connection to the internet as well!

    PS: make sure you use the latest version of the WLan driver
    Here you can find the drivers:

  • 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.

  • Satellite A500 - 149 - graphics card problem

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-149 and last week my screen has scratches ace.

    The grapichs card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650.

    I send the computer to Toshiba yesterday but I need feedback because a repair. If the same graph as problem could cost to repair?

    Anyone know?

    I think that no one here can help you. Either is defective graphics card or screen may only.
    In any case, if the GPU is defective, it will be quite expensive.

    I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask what is the result of the diagnosis and how much you have to pay for the repair.

  • Satellite A500 - slow startup

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A500.
    During the two days when I turn on my laptop it takes 20 minutes before entering the Enter password box and then another half an hour before the load upward.
    It is stuck on the Welcome screen.

    I also have problems stopping.
    I tried f8 and then recovering from an early date.
    But I got "no restore point is available", or something like that.
    It looks like now that with each attempt to restart the laptop runs things more and more bizarre.

    Should I restore it to factory setting? Should I reinstall windows 7?

    I'm actually missing on sea for work so I don't even have the CD recovery with me.
    What is the best thing to do?

    And if I need to restore to the default origin can I do it without the CD?
    Have yet another month overseas so any help will be great.

    Thank you
    UVA

    > Should I restore it to factory setting? Should I reinstall windows 7?
    Yes, in my opinion, you should try this, but in case this problem is hardware related, the recovery would not help a lot.

    > I'm actually missing on sea for work so I don't even have the CD recovery with me.
    > And if I need to restore to the default origin can I do it without the CD?

    Try HARD drive recovery:
    [How to recover a Toshiba notebook with the HDD recovery procedure | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm]

    If the HARD drive recovery is possible, the recovery discs are not necessary.

    But I'm afraid; m HARD drive can be a troublemaker. It probably needs to be replaced.

  • Satellite A500: Low resolution using Win 7

    Hello

    I have looked around the forum and have found no real solution to my problem so...
    I recently bought a Satellite A500 and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional on this subject.

    Apparently, I had to just update to keep the drivers, but being the noob that I am, I have not.
    So now that my resolution is stuck at 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, neither of which are native.

    I downloaded the drivers 64-bit win7 on the Toshiba site, but apparently, I already have the latest ATI driver installed.
    However, I can't always change the resolution, and my monitor is recognized as generic non - PnP.
    Is it possible to check if I have the display driver?

    And also all the solutions for the display problem would be very grateful. It's the only thing that remains now bothering me on this new laptop.

    Hello

    I assume you are using Win 7 64 bit OS because you selected the display of Win 7 64-bit driver is good?

    What A500-xxx you have exactly?
    The European driver Toshiba page provides three different display drivers for the A500 series. Intel, nVidia and ATI
    Seems three different graphics chips were installed in series A500

    You should first check what graphics chip using your laptop
    Then go to Device Manager and uninstall the display driver.
    Then visit the page of the European driver Toshiba, download the display on the right for the graphics chip driver and install it.

    Then restart the device and check how would go to the laptop.

  • Satellite A500/A505 - some problems after the recovery process

    I recently used the my Satellite A500, A505 recovery partition to get rid of a particularly persistent virus after running several antivirus programs, all to nothing does not.

    Now the virus seems to have disappeared, but the computer doesn't seem to be in the State it was in immediately after its opening.

    Firstly, the resolution is such that the taskbar, menu start and the desktop icons are all much larger than normal.

    Secondly, it seems to be missing some graphics files enables it to play my games that I put on it from my backup (in other words, it is showing the bottom of the game screen and play music and SFX without showing the character sprites or the menu options).

    Thirdly, my Fn + F6/F7 does not allow me to adjust the brightness of the screen of the computer, the only way that I know how to adjust the brightness of a Toshiba laptop.

    EC who if anything, could I hurt in all this?
    What might be able to do to solve these problems?
    I don't have no internet right now, but I have a USB and eternal patience, so I can use another computer and transfer everything what you suggest on mine.

    Nevertheless, I prefer solutions that do not like it, if possible.

    Surely appreciated!

    To be honest I never heard of this issue.
    In my opinion you should try to make the installation of recovery one more time to check if the same problem occurs again.

    You have created recovery disks?
    If Yes use recovery disks for recovery image installation.

  • Satellite A500 - some drivers works only on Windows 7

    I have a new (Dec. 2009) Satellite A500-12W (PSAM3E-00Y00FN5) I updated to Vista 64 bit for Windows 7 64 bit.
    To ensure that I have the latest drivers, I tried to update all the recommended drivers for this model with Windows 7 64 bit to nordic.computers.toshiba - Europe.com.

    However, the Intel chipset utility, nor the ATI display driver managed.

    During the installation of the Intel chipset utility, I get an error message indicating that my system does not meet the minimum requirements. Instead, I was able to install an update from the Download Center INF utility of Intels for my game of chips (Mobile Intel GM45 Express chipset). So my question is, what are the minimum requirements for this Intel chipset utility, or is it not the right one for my laptop?

    The ATI display driver installed itself, however, I get 2 error messages when starting upwards in my event log:
    Source: Atikmdag, event ID 52236, CPLIB general - invalid parameter.
    Source: Atikmdag, event ID 43029, DAL - display is not enabled.

    How can I fix?

    Hello

    First of all, you must update the BIOS!
    There is a new BIOS for the Satellite A500 PSAM3E. This time it s 1.50 - winner

    After the BIOS has been updated, you must use the Chip Set Utility downloaded from the Toshiba European driver page it s a v 9.1.1.1019.

    The latest ATI display driver is 8.634.1.

    Please note that all packages must be unpacked first!
    Don t try to run all the drivers when the package is compressed!

    In addition, you could update the driver in Device Manager.
    Go to Device Manager, mark the device and choose Update driver.
    The first option will update automatically the driver!

    If this will not succeed, you can use the second option that lets your for pointing the driver files downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  • Re: Differences between Satellite L505-144, L555 - 11K and Satellite A500-1GL

    What are the main differences between L505-144, L555 - 11K and A500-1GL?

    They are the same price and seem to be very similar, with only small differences in processing power, graphics and sound.

    What is the best model?

    Hello

    I think you should take a look on the page of specification for Toshiba laptop and need to compare two specifications:

    * Satellite L505-144 *.
    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/satellite-L505-144/1081190/

    * Satellite A500-1GL. *
    http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/satellite-A500-1GL/1080934/toshibaShop/false/

    Satellite L505-144 was released in the United Kingdom and the Satellite A500-1GL was published in Germany.

    L505-144 supports more rapid and better CPU, it was delivered with Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit. It supports rather than ATI GPU nVidia but the HARD drive is smaller than 320 GB instead of 500 GB
