• Satellite C660-184 freezes at random times while playing a game.

  Laptop freezes at random times while playing Football Manager 2011. The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month with no problems, just recently it started to freeze, and the only thing I can do is to turn off my laptop by the power button.

  I have a

  I am at a loss to explain what is happening.

  Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  > The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month without any problems, has recently started to freeze
  This could mean that the laptop is overheating
  The reason for overheating is the dust that blocks the fan for laptop gets hotter

  I recommend to clean using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. You can do it without disassembling the computer so it is very easy and takes only 5 minutes.
  Just remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter before doing this.

  For example I clean my laptop every 4 months because a lot of dust is coming so it s worth it.

• Satellite C660 - TouchPad freeze at startup

  Hi I'm new and this is my first post so please be gentle!

  I have a Satellite C660 with windows 7 purchased as a refurb factory it is my 1st laptop, I have a problem after startup, and everything loaded on my desktop, it seems that if I use my TouchPad too early it freezes, he did it since I bought it, but I thought it was me being not used to a touchpad and the "bloatware" to start is the only way I can get the pointer to move if I have a finger from the top to the bottom of line scrolling to the right of the TouchPad horizontally or diagonally, it moves very slowly until I can be open and close a browser window, the file or even the startup window, then it will then act as usual and do not freeze again for my entire session If I leave it for five minutes at the start, it works fine, sometimes it will freeze also out of standby or hibernation, but not always.

  OK, I thought maybe it was the necessary driver update I checked in Device Manager and it said it was working properly but that of course is when the pointer is as it should be, in the Device Manager if I pilot of the touchpad/driver/update and internet search it tells me I have the drivers updated If I choose to search for a driver on my computer/let pick me from a list of device drivers that I have the following:-

  Mouse Compatible PS/2
  Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
  Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
  Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

  I should have all those showing? can someone with a file of similar specifications check that for me please?

  strange thing is that if I go to TouchPad properties via the taskbar, and then click driver all options except the driver Details are grayed out and done, I can open two windows of TouchPad properties from the device and the task bar manager and have them on the screen at the same time.

  Some things I should mention are a mouse in the usb works fine, I stopped a lot of the "bloatware" and would help the useless stuff running at startup, hoping that I have disabled the function of locking of the click on the TouchPad, sound as it needs to be "warmed up" to run correctly when running properly it works fine without problem as the laptop came pre installed and only Disc I have is the recovery one create you the initial Setup!
  Any help would be appreciated!

  Hello

  First of all, I don t think that this problem is related to the installed touchpad driver but if you wish, you can install the latest touchpad driver available from the European driver Toshiba.

  Visit the European driver Toshiba page and choose:
  Computer laptop Satellite Satellite C series Satellite C660 driver Touchpad

  Now you should get all the touchpad driver available for C660 series.
  I found the driver for the touchpad Synaptics for Win7 32 bit and 64 bit.
  The latest version seems to be v15.2.11.1

  I think you should go to Panel of-> Software
  Check here if Synaptics touchpad driver appear in the list of installed software.
  If so, uninstall the present.
  Then, download and install the Synaptics v15.2.11.1 driver

  The touchpad settings could be changed in Control Panel-> mouse-> tab advanced-> button Advanced.

• Cannot load Windows 7 - Satellite C660 guard freezing

  Hello world.

  This is a biggy. I have a Toshiba AMD Vision Satellite C660 / C660D laptop without Windows installation disc. Last week, it has become very slow, the interface resembles that of the interface of safe mode, then finally, he became completely unresponsive, therefore, through F8 on start-up I selected the option to return to the factory settings (I have this option)

  The BACK screen appeared and started normal loading then who responded, then I rebooted only to see Windows starts for the first time and carry the load, before that I had to create a cd boot from my other laptop to reboot the system that I had lost the boot mngr.

  The last part of the installation process begins whereby a white Toshiba screen appears with a green progress bar which is responsible for some drivers (see attachment). There are 39 steps to this process and I remember before the computer should keep restart itself, but it keeps freezing after about two steps. I kept turning it off and eventually the locked system administrator accounts.

  Once more, I restarted the PC, but this time in safe mode, the operating system did in fact load in safe mode and I created a few new accounts with administrator privileges, however, I still cannot load all of the operating system because it keeps freezing during the last part of the process.

  I have very limited knowledge of loading operating systems, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  First of all, it was a big mistake NOT to create a recovery disk Toshiba.
  The recovery of HARD drive that you were able to start pressing F8, is only possible if the HARD drive is not defective.
  I think in your case I think that there is something wrong with the HARD drive because there was a Bishop of startup notification which means that this laptop can not find a boot manager to boot the system.

  I have no other idea about trying to reinstall the system using the Toshiba Recovery disk or another drive in Windows 7 (of course if you have one)
  If the recovery fails, you will need to investigate on how much material could be affected. I think in this case it of needed to start with HARD disk check.
  Possibly the HARD drive needs to be replaced. Of course it is possible that I m wrong part is affected, but at the first step you should check the new installation of the OS.

  A recovery disc can be ordered here:

• Satellite C660 - the mouse pointer stops working when you start program

  Some features:
  Toshiba Satellite C660-1r1
  Windows 7 sp1
  Avast Antivirus (free version)

  Problem:
  When I start a program (for example. Sonos controller) on my laptop my mouse pointer stops working. It does not happen with all programs! When I go into Device Manager, my synaptic touchpad and my hid mouse is working also. When I press ctrl - alt - del, the pointer can move again, but when I come back it stops again. I have a work around is not a solution

  When I disconnect my windows account and log in again, it will solve the problem. When I start a program again the pointer will freeze up again.
  I did a complete system of virusscan and a pre start virusscan and my laptop is virus-free.
  I uninstalled the mouse and in drivers reinstalled synaptics them but that has not worked. I added a new account windows but that did not work.
  By pressing the keycombo FN + F9 has no effect.
  I am somehow at the end of my ideas...

  Can anyone help!

  When I start a program (for example. Sonos controller) on my laptop my mouse pointer stops working. It does not happen with all programs!

  This problem happens using the touchpad only or have you noticed the freezing of cursor using the external USB mouse too?

  What is the notebooks touchpad works properly without loading and using this 3rd party software?
  For example, work the touchpad with Microsoft office (Word, Excel, etc.) or navigation in internet by using IE or Chrome?

  My guess is that the pre-installed 3rd application part could affect the functionality of the touchpad.

• Re: Satellite C660 - fan starts then stops

  Hello

  Sorry for my English, I'm French, I have a Toshiba Satellite C660 laptop a few days ago and I noticed that the fan starts and stops every minute at any time when the temperature exceeds about 40 degrees (noted with SpeedFan).
  Even if I'm just the desktop, the Internet. However, it does not heat up much. Is this normal?

  Before I had a laptop and the fan stops, but almost never had low-noise. I prefer it, but it's can be a simple matter of habit for the Toshiba...?

  Hello

  Try it please change cooling method option in the advanced power settings.

  Open power options > n a click your power profile that you use > choose the advanced power options > Toshiba Power Saver Settings > cooling method > change two optimized battery options.

  I think that this will reduce fan activity.

  Please test and send feedback.

• Satellite C660 - mouse freezes for seconds

  The mouse on my Satellite C660 is driving me crazy. As well as the functions I put t use, it hangs for seconds every time after passing on. I got to plug a USB mouse, which seems to stabilize on a Clipboard as well.

  Is there a driver I can download to replace one installed and return to traditional mouse operation?

  In Device Manager there is a network controller (if this is right), but the laptop can not find a driver in the driver update and it is not active.

  I hope you can help me, I'll be back without problems via WiFi to Internet.

• By Satellite C660-174: WLan connection drops after 5 min

  Hello

  I recently bought a toshiba laptop (satellite c660-174) and am having problems with my wireless internet connection.
  (I currently use the Airport Express Terminal and my macbook has no problem whatsoever)

  The problem is that my internet connects for a few minutes at a time, then falls back, I was invited to run the network diagnostics which solves the 'problem' it will work again for a few minutes then the same thing happens... etc etc.

  I am 100% sure the router and the connection is ok, because I've been running the macbook at the same time and who never fails or loses its internet signal.

  any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

  see you soon

• Satellite A200-1CR - freezes up randomly after 4-10 min of the start-up

  After the harsh life with initially installed Windows Vista for 4 years, I decided to go ahead for the Win7 operating system...

  So, I formatted the C: partition and installed Windows 7 Ultimate...
  For about a week, everything went like a charm, but after a search through some "crack" sites - without having to install before all suite antivirus * stupid GuY *-, the system freezes up to...
  I turned it off continuously pressing the upper right button and I restarted the same way...
  The system freezes up just after the BIOS tests spent...

  I left for a few minutes - assuming that overheating-questions, and after that it turned the load normally Win7...
  After about 5-6 minutes it freezes on the rise again...
  So far, I tried some things to make a conclusion...

  I tried a Linux bootable CD and after a few minutes, the system hangs... (concl: not a problem of virus...)
  If I try to restart instantly it does not even the BIOS... (concl: overheating?)
  When I try "cold" upward, everything goes OK for 5-7 or up to 10 minutes...
  During this short period that I managed to install a temperature monitoring program, which shows normal temperatures until freeze up again...

  Ignoring this fact, I disassembled the laptop all with a lot of attention, I cleaned the pleasure-heatsink and I replaced the thermal conductive compound since the processor...

  Problem persists...

  Another is that I realized, is that "Total Commander" I had installed just before the problem appeared, now is not installed more... (concl: the virus is present...)
  Second fact, the bookmarks that I had saved in the Opera browser now dissappeared...

  Any comments would be much appreciated.

  Thank you...

  In such situation first step should be the new installation of the OS.
  By default the BIOS settings and reinstall Win7. Don t install any driver or anything else, just to run naked Win7 to see if the same problem again occurs.

  If so there must be a problem with the hardware. I can't say with certainty what he can be, but test drive HARD and memory at first.

• Satellite C660-10 d - black screen after adding extra RAM!

  Hello world

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-10 d and have recently bought a 2GB additional RAM to upgrade my laptop to 4 GB in total. The RAM stick is identical to the 2 GB ram origin that settled in the laptop.

  I added the extra ram and when I turn on the laptop the screen remains black, however the laptop fans can be heard etc. When I remove the extra ram com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen. I also tried the two ram sticks on their own to slot 1 and both work well, its only when they are both in the connectors that I get the black screen.

  Any help asap would be fantastic.

  Concerning

  Griff

  > When I remove the extra ram the com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen.

  Its a problem with your extra RAM module.
  Is not fully compatible.
  Recommend you use two identical Kingston RAM modules, these modules are great, tested and provide good quality.

• Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

  I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

  I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

  What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

  "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". "Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

  Thanks in advance for any help,

  Luke

  PS - I'm a mac user and do not have much experience in the use of Windows laptops, so I need instructions spelled out clearly enough if possible.

  The error could be related to drive HARD and the setting in the BIOS of the controller...
  Probably, you need to install Win XP using SATA AHCI mode and to add the driver SATA as described here:

  Hello

  Try removing the USB ports and hubs from Device Manager.
  Restart the device and wait Windows OS has reinstalled all USB controllers once more.

  If this is insufficient, the chipset driver update because driver chipset controls the USB controller.

• After Effects CS4 install on Win XP 64 bit OS

  I try to install the After Effects CS4 for a Win XP 64 bit OS trial version.  There was only a single downloadable trial available and figure that if there is 64-bit trial versions, it would be packed with this also.

  Setup designates the place of installation as "C:/Program/Adobe" which is correct because it is the location of the 64-bit program folder.  However, he falls in fact demand in "C:/Program Files/Adobe (x 86)".  Also when After Effects CS4 is run, it appears as a 32 bit application in the Windows Task Manager process list (labeled as "AfterFX.exe * 32")

  If possible, is it possible to get to After Effects CS4 correctly recognized as a 64 bit under XP64 application?  I know that this OS is not entirely supported by the system configuration required, but managed to install Photoshop CS4 as a 64-bit problem-free application.

  Another thing that confuses me is also the After Effects CS4Readme/technical note:

  http://KB.Adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405854 http://KB.Adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405854#_Toc162848026

  By problems known...

  "When installing on 64-bit Windows Vista, an incorrect default installation location is displayed. The application will be installed to the correct location: C:\Program Files (x 86). (#BG064131) »

  This means After Effects CS4 is a single 32-bit application?

  Yes. For now, the AE is still a 32-bit application.

  Photoshop CS4 (Windows) is a 64-bit application, which is why it installed under 64-bit application path structure.
