• Satellite L300 & Windows Vista aren't grateful Ipod

  Hi, I hope you can help! I was directed here by Microsoft & Apple - here is my question and also Microsofts response:

  I have an ipod nano 3rd generation, work outside the home a near new laptop with windows vista. iTunes is the entire installation, no problems with the ipod at all but when I plug the ipod in, it only charges the ipod.

  computer doesn't recognize any, the ipod under windows or itunes. It there is no portable device driver in Device Manager, or anywhere at all.

  It is not the usb port as another usb have been recognized. I have tried in all the other usb ports as well. bottom line is that windows vista (and itunes) is not to recognize the ipod at all.

  I've been in contact with apple, with anything. I googled solutions for hundreds of other posts with exactly the same problem but no useful solution. Windows vista has no port of portable device - how can we get this on their pc?

  I've been at this for 4 days now and you have uninstalled/reinstalled much too often and I'm out! all tips (other that "have you tried another usb port' or ' have you reset the ipod" or something similar) would be much appreciated.

  once more, there is no drive of laptop/ipod device located on this computer. Please, I really hope someone can help =)

  Hello

  Step 1: enable USB bus power back

  If the laptop is configured to save power by turning off the power on the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, it may not recognize a connected iPod.

  To activate the rear USB bus power, you can follow the steps mentioned in the link from Apple below
  http://support.Apple.com/kb/TS1401

  You said Windows vista has no port of portable device normally, all portable devices are connected via a USB port and they appear under Bus USB controllers in Device Manager.

  Step 2: reinstall the USB controllers.

  First of all, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

  1. click on 'Start', type device manager in the search bar and press "Enter." If necessary, click on continue.

  2. in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right-click on the "host controller", click "Uninstall" and click "OK".

  3. Repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

  Then, restart your computer and windows will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

  If the problem persists,

  Install a material like Everest home Edition or similar diagnostic tool.

  It lists all the devices and chipset name too.
  I think that it s Intel chipset, so you can find the driver on the Intel page

• Satellite L300 PSLBGE Vista 64bits - WLan disconnects at random times

  Hey,.

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 (PSLBGE series) computer laptop. It has 4 GB of RAM, so I installed Windows Vista Ultimate 64 on that.

  Problem is that on the Toshiba site there are only drivers Vista32 and with those that I found online, the wireless adapter works, but it keeps disconnecting at random times. It works fine until it stops randomly, there is no message "Network cable" unplugged

  He let go the IP address but I tried to keep a 'ping t' on and it gives "the request exceeded" for a period of time and then it comes back.

  What should I do?
  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all, it would be interesting to know what you have exactly the WLan card.

  I know you could use some WLan drivers from this Toshiba WLan page:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  In addition, I recommend turning off some options that affect the WLan in energy saving feature.

  First turn off in energy-saving WLan card properties. (device-> card Manager WLan-> properties-> energy saving)
  Then check the power options of Vista-> wireless adapter settings > power save Mode

  Here this Toshiba doc could be useful for finding these settings:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm

  Finally and above all the Advanced tab in-WLan card-> properties > Device Manager contains some useful WLan settings that might increase WLan performance

• Satellite L300-29U - Vista crashes, even in safe mode

  Hi, I really hope there is someone out there who can help me, my laptop does not work (properly) more, and I don't know what is the cause.

  * The short version: *.

  Two days ago my computer froze all of a sudden for no apparent reason. It did not (without Ctrl-Alt-Del, etc), I could only move the pointer. Since then, has happened repeatedly, even in safe mode. A potential clue: runs chkdsk c: \r \f results in a blue screen.

  * Details: *.

  I have a Satellite L300-29U (about 3.5 years) with Windows Vista.
  Two days ago the computer is not responding, after running normally for a few hours. I had not installed a new hardware or software. Even the clock had stopped. Only the pointer could be moved, but clicking on had no effect, or no has Ctrl-Alt-Delete. I stopped him via the power button. It restarted normally, I opened it then Firefox, but shortly after the same problem has emerged.
  I selected the Mode without fail to start and then let my antivirus (Avira) program a complete check of the system. The computer froze again after about an hour and 30% in the analysis. (Curiously, the timer showing how much time had passed since the beginning of the analysis was still running, but had stopped the clock of the computer.)
  Later, I tried another full analysis and again once it froze. Before that, I ran a few quick scan negative that came.

  In general, I find that Windows starts fine, but in normal mode it freezes pretty quickly when I try to do something. In safe mode, it freezes more quickly, but it's still sometimes.

  I also tried the "repair your computer" option at startup.
  -System Restore does not help
  -Memory Diagnostic is not a problem

  Searching online, I found suggestions for select command prompt and try to chkdsk. My conclusions:
  -chkdsk c: /f gives no indication of errors. The only thing that might be unusual is the following message at the end (translated from Dutch): "cannot transfer the log to the event log messages. Status 50. »
  -chkdsk c: /r /f results in a blue screen, each time to the same point in the process, namely, the 4th stage (verification of the data of the file), after having transformed the 133 634 files. The blue screen that appears shows the following:

  -----
  QUOTE
  A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
  (...)
  Technical information: * STOP: 0 x 00008086 (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
  WORDS
  -----

  * Things I have NOT tried (again): *.

  -Execution of TOSHIBA hard drive recovery
  -Formatting the hard drive

  Why not try these again is that I still have a glimmer of hope that he might be up to a corrupt file, and I don't want to use a gun if it turns out to be a mosquito.

  I tried to look online for questions asked by people with problems and similar symptoms, but I find not only the case with some similarities, not exactly the same thing.

  Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

  > Two days my computer froze all of a sudden for no apparent reason
  Above all it s sign parts hardware problem as a module of memory or the motherboard can cause this.

  > Since it happened repeatedly, even in safe mode. A potential clue: runs chkdsk c: \r \f results in a blue screen.

  The command chkdsk access and HARD drive tests so it could also be that the HARD drive is the troublemaker.

  From my point of view, you should start the recovery and should set the device to the factory settings.
  If the device would not work even after you have used the factory condition, I guess that one of the mentioned parts malfunctions.

  Try the laptop from the recovery of HARD drive partition recovery.
  Do you know how to start this process? Isn't it?

  Immediately after the laptop has been turned on, press the F8 key.
  Then choose the first option called fix my computer
  Then choose recovery Toshiba (last option in a new window)
  Now the HARD drive should products.

  I think this should help you reinstall the Win Vista again and finally the installation of Vista successfully

  + Why my laptop recognizes only about 3 GB instead off the coast of all 4 GB of memory, I installed? +
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7601WE0007R01.htm

  Always is that the Windows OS may not recognize all of the 4 GB of memory due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

  Just FYI;
  Some people have suggested that after the installation of the 4 GB Vista SP1 are listed in system properties.
  Currently, only the beta version of SP1 was released. The final version should be relsed in the next two weeks.

• Change HARD drive on Satellite L300 - Windows Vista need

  Hi all

  My laptop hard drive is completely dead and the repair option didn't work.
  I backed up all my data, etc., including the folder HDDRecovery and WinRE partition/folder.

  This is a laptop Toshiba L300, which I bought in the United Kingdom (from the Toshiba online store) and I now live in China. I visited the workshop of local support from Toshiba in China, but they were unable to provide any assistance that offer me a disk empty (usually overpriced).

  They said that they can not install anything because the model is different from those that are sold in China and the Windows Vista sticker is no more on the laptop (Vista sticker for a couple of years ago but I think it has never been a serial number).

  Anyway, I didn't buy their hard drive and I didn't really get the original hard drive since that I didn't, and I decided to buy a hard drive from another brand for myself.

  My question is: is it possible to install the Windows Vista (which I've already paid anyway) in my new hard drive? I don't know if it's relevant, but I will emphasize here that I saved my folder HDDRecovery both WinRE partition/folder. I'm not ready to re - buy Windows or buy the top-selling Toshiba Recovery disk. My plan is to install a Linux OS if Windows is no longer an option.

  I could give you all the details of model and the order if necessary.

  Thank you
  Georgios

  > is there a way to install Windows Vista (which I've already paid anyway) in my new hard drive?
  Yes, but you can do so via the original recovery DVD only.
  Saved on external HARD drive recovery image is useless now. I put t understand why you didn t created recovery disk according to the instructions of Toshiba.

  If you don t want to get Toshiba disc I recommend you to install the clean version of Win7. Your model of laptop is fully supported for Win7 and it works perfectly on your machne. I ve installed long ago on friends L300.

  Linux is also good alternative.

  It's your decision.

• Satellite L350 - Vista shows only 2 GB of RAM, but I have 4 GB installed

  I installed 2 two modules expansion memory of 2 GB each to my satellite L350 that works on Windows Vista Premium.
  I bought at Toshiba UK who confirmed that they were the correct modules.

  The System Control Panel icon always indicates RAM 2 GB (not 4GB) memory.
  If I remove one module 2 GB, the system icon of 2 GB (which is correct) said Control Panel.
  I have re-installed the two modules and changed their round in the slots, but the system icon still says 2 GB.

• Satellite L300-110 Vista Downgrade to XP

  ("New" in a store), I bought a Toshiba Satellite 300-110 with Vista installed, discovered that Vista was not compatible with almost everything and wanted to XP on it. First of all, I tried to format C during execution of vista, Vista did me not think C since Vista format that I did not understand that I was trieing to remove Vista...

  Measures taken so far:
  1 said the laptop in BIOS to restart on the CD/DVD
  2. the document in the format C (vista partition) completely using windows XP instalation CD.
  3. installed installed windows XP on 'SATA Compatibility Mode' (selected in the bios)
  4 found that the SATA compatibility mode does not use my laptop computer quality because you need AHCI.
  *(This means Windows XP is correctly installed on SATA _Compatibility_ mode, but i need instal XP on SATA _AHCI_ mode, which is Far Better) *.
  5A tried to install XP on the SATA AHCI mode, but then at the launch of the instalation, I got a blue screen that says there is something wrong with my hard drive.
  6. I discovered that there is a necessary AHCI driver before you can install XP
  7. I found the right drivers on the internet and used Nlite to make a new windows XP install CD which includes the correct drivers.
  8. now, I came to a new blue screen. It is said (in Dutch): + Setup can not find support for the by you advised the massive savings devices + (I think it means: he can not find the drivers for my hard drive). + Installation will now installation support for the following mass rescue: + (located below :) (which means) +< none="">. +.
  + Press E if you want to install additional SCSI adapters, disks cd-rom-stations or special controllers for use with windows. Also if you have a record of support for devices of the plant's massive savings. +
  + Press ENTER if you have no record of factory support of devices for registration of mass, or when you do not want to insert any additional devices to save mass. +
  I think that's the point where I have to insert the drivers, but are in fact the drivers already on my CD of instalation XP Nlite.

  So: My hard drive does not have a problem because I can still boot XP compatibility mode.
  There is a problem with the SATA AHCI driver that must be installed before installing XP defenitely. I'm afraid that the laptop does not have the AHCI driver, but the laptop try just instal XP directly.
  The new XP installation CD is supposed to work very well. Anyone has a suggestion, how to install the SATA AHCI driver first?
  ================================================== ======================================

  Hello

  I m not a L300 owner but I was able to install Win XP using AHCI on my Satellite U400 mode.
  The point is that you should pass first to AHCI mode in BIOS before you try to install Win XP with SATA drivers!

  The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Storage Manager! You can find it on the European driver Toshiba page.
  The use of nLite is really good idea I did too and it worked!

  Integrate the drivers SATA (from Intel Storage Manager) in the new drive for Win XP
  Switch to the AHCI (save the changes made in the BIOS)
  Then start using a new Win XP drive.

  Notes; Win XP it contains at least SP2

• Satellite L300 - 16L - Vista does not load

  I have a L300 - 16L, and now, it will fail to start.

  When the laptop is turned on, I get two options (can not be sure of the exact text that I don't have with me at the moment):
  (1) start Windows repair
  (2) start Windows normally

  When I choose the second option, I get a blue screen and the failure error code is:
  Stop 0 x 00000024 (0 x 00190444, 0x864d22e0, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000)

  When I choose option 1, I get "the installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer.

  I downloaded and created a CD to restore Vista from the Microsoft Web site and have run
  Bootrec /fixmbr
  Bootrec /fixboot
  Neither of which solves the problem.

  If I press PF8 when starting, I get several options, including the safe boot mode. However after he was responsible for various files (of which the last is CRCDISK. (SYS), all I get is a black screen.

  Unfortunately, I did not create recovery disks, but no doubt I could select Toshiba HDD Recovery option that appears in the options when I press PF8 during startup.
  However, I think I'll have to copy all my existing data first as this option will wipe away on my hard drive (I guess that I'll be able to copy the data using the Vista recovery CD because it allows me to open a command prompt window).

  Someone at - it other ideas on how to solve this problem before going in the way of HARD drive recovery?

  Thank you
  H

  To be honest, I have to laugh after reading your posts.
  I wonder what you do with your laptop. You must be the expert to ruin good operating system.

  So, if you didn t created a recovery media and if you don't have option to fix my computer when you start advanced boot options (F8) you can't do anything. Just nothing. HDD recovery is useless because without repair my computer option cannot start the recovery procedure.

  What you can do is to install your own Vista or order the original Toshiba recovery media for your laptop model.
  Do you know how to do this?

• Paved touchscreen and button right does not work on Satellite L300 with Vista

  My right button does not work.
  By clicking on the icon on the desktop, the drop down menu does not open and when you work in some programs (Indesign).
  In addition, sometimes the touchpad does not work.

  Reset is useful for a little bit.
  I have install the driver of Synatpics 11.2.4.0.
  Is there something else I can do besides sending it to be repaired.

  I just got this laptop 3 weeks ago and I hate Vista.

  Hello

  I put t think this could be a hardware problem.
  First of all, you should try to update the driver for the touchpad.

  First remove the touchpad driver in the system.
  Then, visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download the latest touchpad driver and install it.

  PS: If you use an external mouse and that you have installed the mouse drivers/tools then this could also affect the functionality of the touchpad.
