• Re: Satellite C660 new but very slow

  Hello

  As indicated in my username, I am not very good with these things. I bought the c660 a month ago and I can't believe the slow, it is, it takes forever to open a document and the Internet absolutely takes forever to open the same homepage.

  I tried to disable add ons and I have only stored excel sheet and about 20 photos on the computer of his car, so I don't understand why it is like that, to be honest, it was like this from day one!

  Please can someone tell me what I can do to fix the problem?
  Thanks a lot :)

• Satellite C660 - 1ZM Win 7 64-bit: carpet of mouse and USB - 'code 52' driver error

  Hello

  Having recently set up a new Satellite C660-1ZM running Windows 7 64 bit (upgrade from Home Premium to Ultimate) for a friend, the mouse pad and USB ports have suddenly stopped working. Pilots show an exclamation against them and the error is 'code 52' associated with the driver signing. Windows does not seem to recognize the signatures of the drivers for the published drivers that came pre-installed machine disk, so the devices do not work. I've updated the drivers (chipset Intel [which includes USB]; Synaptics touchpad) to the last published on the Toshiba web site - and we have the same problem.

  By pressing F8 at startup allows you to select "disable driver signing checking" in WIndows 7 boot options, which allows the drivers and all is going well, until you restart - how you must press F8.

  I think that among the many Windows updates has somehow messed up things, but we cannot prove easier than. The machine has been running for a week or two, then the mousepad suddenly stop working around August 8, 2012.

  (1) are there valid signed drivers who spend some Microsoft controls required for signature, including any controls they have potentially just imposed by some recently imposed update drivers?

  (2) does anyone know exactly how to disable the verification of signature permanently, drivers so a reboot will not require F8 key pressure and so forth?

  Uninstalling the mouse pad driver and reboot gives the basic functionality of the mouse, without the skill of Synaptics. However, the USB ports don't always work because their driver does not load, so an external mouse does not work.

  It's a hellish nusiance. The system of the keyboard to uninstall the drivers etc at the wheel is not fun.

  Cheers, Colin.

  Hello

  Have you received the error windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device? This means the error code 52
  Given that the USB drivers are parts of the Windows operating system, I don t think that this could be a signature issue I think that some files are damaged.

  Try to uninstall/reinstall the driver and remove the unit and it s drivers in Device Manager before you reinstall.
  Normally this should help, if not, well try to repair the system.

  Switch on and press F8. Then choose fix my computer.
  Now, choose the first option that would fix the system.

• Satellite C660-1LD is super slow

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1LD PSC0QE

  Let me share the problem.

  So I have to use without the battery, most of the time when sudden power failure happens my laptop turns off also. Then I have problems starting upwards just on the black screen. I tried to change the memory in different locations, a disk check HARD and troubleshooting. The last thing I did was to reformat the HARD drive and tried to reinstall windows. Here are my observations:

  -My SATA in the bios configuration is DCIS, so windows tells me that it cannot detect any partition bootable windows installation is not possible to any partition of my HARD drive, but if I move the SATA configuration BIOS compatibility and windows continues to be installed on any partition that I want.

  I thought all right but, when windows are complete its installation suddenly an error pops up

  Now I don't know what to do. It's so frustrating. Then I accidentally inserted the recovery media and the laptop start booting from the disk and install windows and restore it to the factory with its bundled software setting.

  Now, here's the problem. It's so slow. Even the andbootup of starting Windows isso slow it would take 30 minutes just to start. the mouse cursor reacts accordingly except when you open a program or by clicking on the right button takes 10 minutes. Everything is so slow. Now I don't really know what to do.

  Now I am trying to reinstall all drivers and utilities with the latest versions. But I do not get a positive response. Is it a hardware failure? Is it because the SATA setting in bios was put on compatibility, although the default is ACHI?

  I still have to reformat? Help please.

  My advice to you is to use the recovery image only. By default the BIOS settings and install the OS by using recovery media. Recovery image contains all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, so you'll have perfect configuration OS.
  What you need is small optimization of BONE.

  Take some time and read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
  It's old NET, but the principle is the same on the new machines too. As a small test remove application preinstalled antivirus and check if startup is faster.

• Satellite L300-1BW - is very slow

  Hello world!
  Recently, I bought the TOSHIBA SATELLITE L300-1BW (PSLB8E)

  I need it for my study and using home. Computer runs VERY slowly. Now I have a version of Windows XP Pro SP3 64 bits. The programs that I have only Ms Office, Skype, Nero, antivirus - BitDefender. I play all the games. IM from the application for my study only - using Ms Word.

  My computer has been verified in the service center and no defects of any sore - not any software and hardware, virus damage, no all manufacture faults. The owners of these model please give me advice what to do. I stuck!

  What should I install Windows XP 32 bit or install Windows 2000 or upgrade hardware (memory... whatever)? I won't be disappointed by TOSHIBA!

  Evil appreciate any HELP!

  Hey Buddy,

  Can you be a little more detailed, please? What do you mean with very slow?
  How long it takes so that it starts Windows?
  How long it takes to start an application?

  I have to say that Windows XP 64-bit wasn t popular and there is no official support for Toshiba for this OS. If you use Windows XP, I recommend to install the 32-bit version.

  Did you test your laptop with the factory settings? It works properly with a preinstalled OS from Toshiba?

  I m also owner of the Satellite L300 and I use the preinstalled Windows XP 32 bit of Toshiba. I m very satisfied with this laptop, it s fast enough and need very little energy. :)

• Satellite C50D-A-134 - very slow internet connection

  Hello
  In may, I bought a Saturday C50D-A-134.

  From the very beginning. The internet speed is very slow - Wifi or cable.

  That's what I did:

  Installed the latest drivers (LAN and Wifi)
  Installed latest Bios Update

  Contact internet provider: everything is checked - no problem of provider. (my other laptop on the same network speed gets speeds up to 10 times faster. So it really isn't a provider problem.

  There is no adware installed - it is not a problem of viruses (checked with several programs avast - malwarebytes etc.)

  Can someone help me

  The laptop seems to be equipped with 10/100 (10 Mbits / 100Mbit) Base-TX Ethernet LAN module. T
  It modulates Atheros WB335 WLan supports standards 802.11 b/g/n and supports 150Mbps.

  So for me the hardware configuration seems good and to be honest I don't think that there is a hardware / driver problem

  As you have pointed out the similar problem with both modules (WLAN and LAN) I recommend you to reset the router even if other devices are not affected.

  By the way: what do you exactly mean by slow?
  Can you give us a few values?

• Satellite A40-151 is very slow

  Hello

  My friend has a laptop A40-151, which happened to be very slow with blue sceens of death, noisey and unit system returning to pio mode rather than ultra dma. We spread an infection by the virus and adware. I've had problems like this with all my last pc and it has always been the hard drive dying, or near death and it smells the same (saving). So yesterday, the laptop become very noisey which I suspected that the hard drive was probably to jam! However, xp blue screen referred to as core and memory dump. Could the CPU and memory also die? Maybe a fan is declining?

  I got a processor celeron with video shared in the past and they were not fast in the best of cases.

  Kind regards

  Ashley

  Hello

  It is best to check the computer step by step:

  1 you said yesterday - the laptop became very noisy it may be because of the clogged cooling module that keeps the fan running hard. You need a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. If you clean it well, but the noise persists, may be that the fan blades are broken (need to be replaced). The HARD disk can also made noise as it is old getting (replace) or need to be defragmented. You can download software Raxco Perfect disk to defragment, it's shareware but free for 1 month.
  2 on blue screen Xp, you must reinstall Windows Xp and see what happens.
  3 it can also be from material, if something serious, should contact ASP (SAV)

• Satellite M45-S169 is very slow

  Hello

  I really hope that someone can give me a notice here...
  Recently, my laptop started to work very slowly. I was using Windows Movie Maker to create projects and she began to hang and not save the project... The use of the CP was 100% and the system ran out of memory quickly... Files with avi, wma, jpg files did not open at all and windows Explorer hanging just whenever I tried to open a. He had more than 20 GB of free space on system C drive and about 8 GB of local disk D... In addition, the copy process has just stopped working properly... It took a long time to copy even small files from one place to another... I am not connected to the network, so this isn't the issue...

  I have reinstalled the operating system (Windows XP SP2)... Files with extensions of different media now open... Although not very quickly. But the copy process takes much longer to finish... It is also very slow browsing photos with Windows picture and Fax Viewer.

  If sth wrong with the material from the laptop or the absence of some drivers could cause problems? What and how can I check this? I've had this laptop for 2 years now...
  I'm not very good with PC equipment and do not know what might not work... I greatly appreciate your help... Really need help here...

  Thank you very much

• Satellite A40-151 started very slow and have hours to transfer a single file

  Hello.

  I've had my A40-151 more than two years now, and up to last month, I got no problems at all. However, last month, it began to be very slow and took hours to initialize. I'm worried that I would lose all the data that I didn't back up, and so I bought an external drive to transfer data.

  As I was doing this, my laptop started making grinding noises, and it took up to 12 hours to transfer a single file. I got to the place, I bought it, and they said it had crashed and that it was not something they could do other than get it back - and so I lost all my data.

  When I came back, it was OK for a few hours and then started grinding again! And I think it might be something to do with the CD/DVD drive. I uninstalled the drive, and the squeaking seems to have stopped as long as the "drawer" player is open! Help, please!

  How can I get the drive replaced? My laptop is no longer under warranty. No I lost everything this that data for nothing?

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hello

  No, the squeaking is probably from the reader of CD/DVD being dry, while optical rides on squeak track passing. But the long loading is certainly a hard drive problem. Looks like a head crash. The head is more or less what locates and reads/writes data from the HARD drive. When this plant it is unable to read/write/or locate the data on the surface taking more and more to save the data, transfer data and load the operating system. Two problems independent of each other. If your ASP cannot repair the cd that squeaks, then they can replace it one that works normally. I hope this has helped you.

• Satellite A30-514 is very slow and how to repair the cooling fan

  My laptop is now very slow. Power on the need to use F1 at startup and it is also quite the slowness of the process. My machine has 512 MB of RAM, but shows only 480 MB on Control Panel. It is believed that it's a RAM failure that made the slow machine or something else. I tried maintenance but did not help.

  Also any what has got the details how you can open the unit up to service the cooling fan as the machine heats up a lot and need a maintenance operation.

  Thank you

• Satellite 180-921 - is very slow, so I want to reinstall it

  I have a 180-921 Satellite which is real slow and sometimes just sits there not appearing not to do anything it gives low memory warnings I would wipe everything except the plant very often installed system which I think I have the disc for.

  Could someone please help I'm willing to lose all data

  > I'm willing to lose all data

  Make a backup of necessary things. If your laptop computer is running slowly, you should defragment the JDM or Diskeeper raxco perfect disk and clean the entire system with Tuneup utilities

• Satellite A75-S211 is very slow

  I've been to a malware expert forum and posted Hijack this logs and this machine is more than likely own. Awhile back, we had to replace the modem due to problems of dispersal of heat (so they said) and I fear that the thing is about to fry itself now. There there, diagnostics that I can use? I've defragged and there about 79% free disk space and it is clean. Help.

  Hi Larry

  Different are many different booklets a series and it will be interesting to know than the one you have. For example I have Satellite A100 and it works fine.

  If the slow functioning of mobile I think it's mainly because of the user himself and if you have enough PC experience I'm sure you know very well what you need to do to make it faster. ;)

• New Satellite L855 - 14K is very slow

  Hi people - advice on this would be appreciated...

  I bought a Satellite L855 - 14K about 2 weeks ago and I am very disappointed to see that sometimes it's extremely slow. For example, enter my password on the screen of welcome to the ZoneAlarm and Avast icons appear in the system tray takes 5 min 45 sec.

  Launch of Chrome takes 1 min 15 sec.

  It takes 40 seconds to launch task manager.

  I did the following to see if I could find the problem...

  Complete system with Avast scan - no threats found.

  Scan on startup with Avast - no infected files.

  Check drive C for errors - no errors detected.

  Optimization and defragmentation - finished.

  Full scan of Malwarebytes - no malicious items.

  SUPERAntiSpyware full scan - found 169 cookies, which I removed.

  Looked at Toshiba PC Health Monitor and everything looked ok.

  Run A tool of diagnosis of Toshiba and everything this past.

  I manually checked the updates of Windows and found 5 optional updates are available, which I installed.

  I disabled a number of items in the startup list - this is what is currently on...

  [http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt196/telbin_2009/startup_zpse4d06bab.jpg]

  I checked the Task Manager Services tab and I have 78 services running.

• Satellite C850D - LAN is very slow

  I have a laptop C850D 12 months that I connect to a BT / Hub cable Cat 5 ethernet.
  My download speed has always been slow, but I recently moved to BT infinite thinking that it the network speed was not the laptop.

  Using their own laptop and my ethernet cable, the record of engineers BT download 35 to 40 Mbps while I record only 8-12 on my laptop.

  Sometimes this can be as low as 2 or 3 Mbps. I can also record high speed using my Macbook wife and my ethernet cable. Wireless speeds are similar.

  Is there any tuning that I can do for my laptop that could improve the speed?

  Thank you

  As I m wrong not the laptop Satellite C850D does support 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet network card.
  It supports ethernet 10-100 Mbps speed.

  Usually, you can change the settings in the properties of the LAN card.
  Device Manager-> LAN card-> properties-> Advanced tab

  There you will find all the options concerning the performance of LAN.
  In addition, you can check the BIOS settings too.

• Satellite C660 - Fan throw very often

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba C660 laptop. I noticed, this fan run very frequently (the temperature is 45-52 c). I tried to change "Toshiba Power Saver Settings V8.9.4.64" "Battery optimized" in 'advanced power settings', but that didn't help. I updated my BIOS to version 1.80, but he did ' help, too. When will be the new BIOS for this model?

  Hello

  Please don t understand me wrong but acitivy fan will be controlled automatically and is based on the CPU temperature. Still, the fan will start if the CPU is running on a high temperature to protect the equipment. So it of normal.

  What you can do after a few months is the cleaning of cooling as described here:
