• Satellite A660 - can't watch video in full screen

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660, who is only two months old and I'm unable to watch videos or TV in full screen. When I hit the button full screen is just blank but the sound is ok. I was told that it was a software problem.

  Can someone please help me to solve the problem without reformat the laptop? Looking forward to your answers.

  Hey,.

  Can send you additional information? Which videos you mean exactly and this player are you using?

  I use VLC media player because he can play all video and audio formats so it s my favorite player. It of also freeware tool so I can really recommend it to you. Check it out here:

  Don t forget that videos may have different proportions. For example, if you watch 4:3 videos on your 16:9 monitor will have you black borders on the left and right sides.

• Satellite A660: how to record videos with USB webcam?

  I recently bought a Satellite A660, which has a built-in webcam. Using the Toshiba provided video application I can record videos, but I find the clarity and brightness of the rather poor image, even in good lighting.

  I have a USB webcam that I plugged in and tested for example in Skype, and he produces images much better under the same conditions. My question is: How can I know Toshiba video application to use instead of the built-in USB webcam? I can't find any settings where I can choose which camera to use.

  If this is not possible, do I need to install other video recording software? Windows 7 does not have all the applications where you can simply record a video from a webcam (I thought Windows Move Maker to do that, but apparently not).

  I just want to be able to record videos of my USB webcam - any suggestions on the best way to proceed would be welcome.

  Thank you

  Howard

  Put I don't think something like this is possible. Pre-installed Camera Assistant Software is obviously designed to work with the built in cam only.
  What you need is a third party software that you can use for this application.

  Google around a bit and visit a few video forums where you can pick up some info on it.

• Satellite A500-1GL - power of Windows 7 and the games options

  Hi all

  Some know maybe my previous posts about my problem with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL worry when I'm online game. It is disturbing to hit the 90%. And his pass even with the update of the BIOS and Toshiba now advise to do a factory restore then fails to send in for repair.
  Looking at the power options,

  I was wondering if someone could recommend this power options I should consider and it would have made no difference for the wise game fan (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan turn the crank to the top)

  Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of something that might help which may be a simple solution to this problem of fan
  Torti :)

  Hello

  To be honest, a lot of activity of fan during the games would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run at a very high level. This means a lot of heat will occur and it must be cooled to avoid damage.

  Of more if I have the games, it s not important how the fan noise creates because I hear music or dialogue game Isn t it so? ;)

  In any case, from time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling system of your laptop using a jet of compressed air:

  And for games, you can use high power option or balanced Windows Performance.

• Satellite P500 - freezing when inactive, the his and other questions

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P500 (bought in January) with Windows 7 and I've always had and some problems with it since I bought it:

  -First of all, my serial number is not for the toshiba Web site, which is annoying when I want to update my drivers. In addition, automatic detection does not work. And when AI attempt to manually select the model, the only available is the "P500-1GN' (I'm sure that my model is just"P500").

  -Second, sometimes, when I don't touch my computer for a few minutes/hours, it freezes and I can't do anything on this subject, I just reboot it. Sometimes, I take just the mouse, the cursor still moves but I can't click on anything and 5 seconds later, the cursor hangs also. Another time, I was chatting on Skype (voice chat) without touch to the computer and when I will come back, the seams of frozen screen, I couldn't do anything with the keyboard or the mouse, but I could still chat with Skype.

  -Thirdly, I also have some problems of sound. When I listen to music and do nothing on the computer, no problem. But if I do something (like go on inernet, copiing files, etc...), I have some very annoying noise interference. I try with the speakers and headphones, it's the same thing.

  -Fourth, less annying, then the others. When I type a text on the keyboard, somethings, the cursor from writing just go somewhere random in the text (it happens twice while I was typing this message...).

  I tried to do a factory restore. Also, I have a version update of Avast, Spybot and Comodo Firewall, but I can not find the cause of these problems. I am wandering if I should ask for a replacement or something...

  So... can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
  Oh and sorry for my bad English.

  LOL: D didn't you notice that the Toshiba driver page contains the series of laptop and has no lists the unique laptop models?
  Satellite P500-1GN is a part of the series PSPGSE call with P500 PSPGSE

  This may be related to different issues; problem in the system, memory problem, etc. graphics driver problem
  However, check the advice posted by Akuma; try disabling the USB selective suspension tuning"in the Advanced Power Options

  Update the audio driver is worth a try

  > Fourth, less annying, then the others. When I type a text on the keyboard, somethings, the cursor from writing just go somewhere random in the text (it happens twice while I was typing this message...).

  I had the same problem with the cursor, but it wasn't a really a problem. This is the reason why the cursor jumped around I touchpad the touchpad accidentally while typing.

• Satellite A660 - how to transfer video from my digital camera?

  How can I directly transfer video from my digital camcorder Panasonic in my A660? I want to burn DVDs. Camera has an HDMI output, and/or 3 taken RCA (audio / video) wire.

  Hello

  AFAIK output HDMI will not help because HDMI port on your laptop's HDMI port only. You must use other ports.
  I put t know which ports your laptop exactly.

  Can you post the exact model laptop (A660-xxx) name?

• Satellite P200 freezes after 5-10 min and need multiple restart to work properly

  Sorry in advance for my low level in English because I'm french...

  My p200-1 has a strange problem:

  Every day when I start a new session, it works fine (the start until office) and I started working.
  After 5-10 min, windows vista (ultimate) freeze and I need to stop/restart time course and finally the success until the office.
  Sometimes I need to boot into safe mode without network and wait for 5 min office

  It seems that somewhere or a piece of the laptop must be hot to function properly (something weird maybe)

  I cleaned the air dry windows fans without improvement. I bought new memories of toshiba in france and the problem is still there. Hard drives are ok (scanned and tested)

  The warranty ends in January so...

  Does anyone have an idea?

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Have you cleaned the laptop with a jet of compressed air? This could blow the dust from the cooling fans and therefore you should not disassemble the laptop.

  I m not sure but it could also be a software problem. You have reinstalled the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  This disc contains the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools. And you can determine if it s a hardware or software problem.

  Good bye

• Satellite A660 - 1 H 7 function keys and Logo lights went out

  It may seem a little ridiculous to the experience of users of Toshiba laptops, BUT I have my laptop recently and there are a few days, I've lost the lights on my (next to the power switch) function buttons and the 'objective' logo in the lower left corner.

  I don't know if I've done something to turn them off?
  Unfortunately I don't know how to get the lights back on.

  Can someone please help and tell me how (step by step if poss) to get back them.

  Thank you in advance.

  > I don't know if I've done something to turn them off?
  > Unfortunately I don't know how to get the lights back on.

  As far as I know this feature is controlled by Backlight.exe and you can find it in
  Program Files\Toshiba\TBS\Backlight.exe

  It is usually part of the VAP (value added package) to reinstall this package should help you get it working again.

  You can also assign this file exe button again with the Support of TOSHIBA Button tool

  Someone wrote in the forum:
  + When I go into "TOSHIBA button Support", I only have empty fields with the choice in the background to set "TOSHIBA Assist" or "Presentation". Empty fields are 'Description', 'Option' and 'path of the target. There is a button 'Browse' to select a program manually, but I have no idea where the exe "backlight on / off" is, when one exists. +

• Cannot select a record in the Get pictures from dialog files and folders in PSE/Win7/64 bit

  Hi guys,.

  has anyone seen this problem and I hope a solution...

  I test just PSE 7 on Win 7 64 bit.

  When I try to import photos in the Organizer, using Get Photos from files and folders, I propose in my pictures folder (which has subfolders 324 - one for each session).  When I (single) click on one of the files (except the first), the dialog box flickers, scroll bar on the right is growing and the subfolder does not get selected. When I scroll down, I see that some recent subfolders are missing from the dialog box. When I repeat this procedure a couple of times, all that remains in the dialog box is the first subfolder, you can still select OK. It seems to be related the number of subfolders, as other records do not show this behavior.

  I tried to install the latest graphics driver, I tried with PSE 8 trial, changed the looks of the folder to all possible options (thumb small, big, detail, etc.), changed the program for Windows XP SP2 compatibility, no change...

  This same machine worked on the same exact file OK with Win XP and 7 PES.

  Advice would be useful...

  Thanks in advance

  Tomas

  You probably encountered a known bug that hit PSE 6, 7 and 8 on Windows 7.   See this message for workarounds:

  Thank you improved

  Hello

  You about Egypt?
  Well, I think that it of very hot it right?

  This is so for more why the laptop s modules cooling must run faster than usual.

  In addition, you should check your cooling modules. Possibly, there is a lot of dust and debris. All these fans and cooling grids must be clean! Air needs to circulate and to remove dust and debris.

  I clean my fans using a jet of compressed air. It helps to clean the fans.
