Satellite L300 - external screen works fine until the Windows login

Hello world

I am trying to use an external display with my Toshiba Satellite L300 and it works up until I have to Log in Windows (or in Ubuntu just had the same problem).

At this point, the laptop does not seem to recognize the external display more and jump using the internal screen again.

It might be relevant: I'm using dual boot Win XP and Ubuntu Hardy.
The problem occurs in both systems.

Someone knows how to fix this?

Maybe the resolution is set too high?

Try a lower resolution and an update of the BIOS.

    You can do it from the control panel as well.

  • Satellite L500 - external screen display after closing the lid?

    Hello
    I use the Satellite L500 - 120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7, the laptop has a function very uncomfortable, when I applied an external display.
    When I closed the lid of my laptop, Office was shown on my display (with the native resolution of the external display) external, so I had not to
    change anything on the control panel. In Windows 7, Miss me this feature. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there is no parameters, which fits
    with the previous ones. I can duplicate the screen in order to see my desktop screen on my external screen, but with the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop.
    If I extend the views, then there is only the background image to the external screen, but this time with the native resolution.

    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that I closed the lid, and the screen should be shown on my external screen?
    Or should I install applications Toshiba, that I had before, who visited account this function?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I m not a Windows 7 user because I want to wait until it will be released official, but I hope that I can help you a bit:

    First of all in power management, you can choose the action that happens if you close the lid (g. e. sleep, close, etc.). This action must be disabled because otherwise the laptop shuts down or something else.

    So I think that you need to install the display driver for your laptop. You can try the Vista driver because most of them are working on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to define the correct screen resolution for external monitor.

    A working display driver is important to the clone or extends monitors to verify this!

  • I'm using windows mail (vista). It worked fine until the other day. I can not receive or send emails now and receive errors 0x800ccc19

    Windows Mail has stopped working on vista

    First, make sure that is not a mistake on the mail server.  See if you can connect via webmail and account works fine.

    Otherwise, see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 its likely that you have tight with antivirus software.  After checking, remove your email account, compact and repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and then add your account mail back again once and ensure that any analysis of the electronic mail is disabled by antivirus software, and on the other.

  • U2515H, black screen with error during startup until the Windows login screen

    It is a half frustrating work situation.

    Was doing this:

    display port HDMI card--> cable HDMI - HDMI--> HDMI U2515H port

    This configuration has worked in Windows 7, with a 2560 x 1440 resolution reached.

    However, when you perform a reboot of the machine, the screen went black and impossible to display the BIOS POST screen (these text showing the amount of RAM you have, what are the HD detected, etc.). In addition, there was an error message on screen, saying:

    "The current moment of entry is not supported by the display. Please change your timing of entry to 2560 x 1440, 60 Hz or any other listed monitor calendar according to the characteristics of the monitor"

    The message error and white screen persists until Windows loaded to the login screen. This means that I can't see even the Windows logo, or the safe mode selection screen if I press F8.

    It's so no way for me to go into the BIOS to change any parameter, or do a boot was secure.

    Tried to use a DVI-HDMI converter and also a DVI-HDMI cable to make use of the DVI port of my video card. Still the same error as above. Worse still, this implementation does not work in Windows 7, gives me a white screen.

    I'm sure the DVI port on my video card works, cos it can work with my old Samsung monitor. Inspired by the present, the steps to be followed to the letter, may force the U2515H to show the BIOS screen:

    1. stop down and power down the computer.

    2 port DVI video card-->--> old Samsung monitor DVI port DVI - DVI cable

    3. turn on your computer. The screen of the MESSAGE on the Samsung monitor.

    4. go into the BIOS by pressing del screen

    5 disconnect the cable DVI - DVI video card DVI port.

    6 port card video--> cable DVI DVI - HDMI--> HDMI U2515H port

    The thing is, if I have to keep the old monitor, why bother to buy the new U2515H from Dell?

    So, how can I get the U2515H to accept the signal from my video card during the POST screen and the start-up phase, without going through the tedious steps each time? Thanks in advance!

    Material:

    motherboard: Asus P5K - E Wifi (latest version of the BIOS)

    video card: Galaxy 8800GT (DVI, HDMI)

    It seems that your motherboard ASUS has a slot PCIe x 16 blue. If one of the beaches mid PCIe x 16 graphics cards will suffice. Go here. I have this sort by Nvidia PCIe x 16 2.0 video cards, low to high price. You look for one with DP or CDM. Or simply go to a local store and search the PCIe x 16 video cards with DP or CDM.

  • Windows 10 install doesn't work not after reboot (works fine until the PC is rebooted).

    It's bad enough. Upgrade to windows 10. Wanted to ensure that I started with a clean slate, so I have uninstalled FireFox, and then use the new edge of Windows browser to download the latest version of FireFox.

    He moved very well, remembers my bookmarks and settings, etc. Everything seems fine.

    But after a system restart, the FireFox icon on the desktop and the taskbar are just blank page icon, and when you try to run the program it says it cannot be found, or that I don't have permission to run it.

    Let's not get too hung up on how the bad error message is (go, Windows, who is?), the problem is that a program that worked very well until I rebooted now is not found or all of a sudden, I don't have permission to run it?

    The problem is if I try to boot from the desktop shortcut or if I go directly into C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox and double-click on Firefox.exe.

    I tried the things:

    1. check the properties of the installer to download stub (Firefox Setup Stub 40.0.3.exe). I noticed that it was reported as a program that had been downloaded on the Internet and could be 'blocked '. So I checked the 'Unlock' button Did an uninstall, and then run Setup again. Everything is fine. Restart - same problem.

    2. check the properties of the installer to download stub (Firefox Setup Stub 40.0.3.exe). I noticed that there are two weird entries 'unknown user' in the settings of security with a sort of GUID. I removed those two. Did an uninstall, and then run Setup again. Everything is fine. Restart - same problem.

    3. do you have an uninstall, and then run the installer as administrator (after making the above changes). Everything is fine. Restart - same problem.

    I'm out of ideas.

    A diagnosis by a Microsoft technician during a support chat session!

    If you want to do a clean install of FireFox on your Windows machine after upgrading to Windows 10, but you had FireFox installed on Windows 7 or Windows 8 before the upgrade, you must uninstall the TWO FireFox and install the service of Maintenance of Mozilla before performing cleaning.

    If you uninstall FireFox but not the service of Maintenance of Mozilla, you will get the squirrels I described, where FireFox stops working after a reboot or a disconnection / connection.

    I think this is related to the BS that Microsoft introduced with Windows 10 where, after installing FIreFox, if you click on the button that says that you want FireFox to be your default browser is not only to persist this setting directly. Need you to the configuration screen of Windows 10 for default programs, which is not at all intuitive, especially those based on past behavior.

    I think that FireFox should put an explanatory text (on the page where you click on the button to make FireFox the default browser) which explains what Microsoft is up to.

  • Satellite L300-PSLB8E - screen becomes all white and the laptop freezes

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8E. I initially bought with Windows Vista already installed on it. After a few years, I changed the operating system Windows 7 Ultimate. I installed the display and all the other necessary drivers (that is, sound, network, etc.).

    After I installed Windows 7, when I use the laptop for a while, the screen becomes all white and the laptop hangs. This happens spontaneously. Sometimes, in less than 10 minutes and other times that it can work perfectly for hours. I checked for loose batteries and other components, but everything seems fine.

    Physical damage only that there is a tiny crack on the screen in the bottom right of the screen. The operating system is not good? If I put windows Vista back as it was?

    Please advise and help understand me what the problem is with the laptop.

    Until we start discussion can you tell me what you do when this happen?
    Hard stop and restart?
    Is everything OK again when you do?

    It is not easy to say what exactly is the problem, but I put t think there is problem with OS and preinstalled display driver. A long time ago I installed Win7 Home Premium on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

    What you can try is to use the external monitor for a while and see if everything works well. If so, there is no problem with the operating system, drivers or graphics card. It may be that the display problem.

    Check with Kodak support or website to see if there's a test or a diagnostic process that you can run to identify the problem with the printer.  It is not likely to be a problem of Windows at this point.

  • Satellite Pro M30 graphics works not when the driver is installed

    Hi all

    I m having problems with my nvidia Geforce FX Go5200, in a portable Satellite Pro M30, (processor Intel Pentium M 1.7 GHz, 512 MB Ram). This card was working fine suddenly the laptop stops.

    I formatted the laptop and installed Win XP PRO. After installing the driver VGA, I restarted the laptop, but black screen started to come right after the Win XP splash screen appears. The laptop continues to start up but no screen.

    It starts fine in safe mode. I get my best screen simply by disabling the geforce card or uninstall the driver. I tried to install a new driver for the VGA on the download from Toshiba site, but same problem appears. I also tried the BIOS update but nothing happens.

    Can someone help me?
    [email protected]

    It's very strange question. It will be really interesting to know if this happens when you use the CD delivered recovery facilities.

    In any case, I assume that there is a problem with the LCD display. In safe mode, the desktop appears in the resolution decreases but the resolution to the OS boot will be suitable for a standard (1280 x 800), and of course, there is the problem.

    I am not a technician, but I recommend you contact the Service partner. AFAIK they use special tools and programs for display tests. They can tell you more.

  • Satellite L300-29V - failed to initialize for the logon process

    Hello

    Trying to upgrade my Satellite L300 - 29V Vista Home Premium to the Toshiba provided Win 7 Home premium with the help of the upgrade DVD Toshiba. I tried this many times now with no success. On each attempt, I get the message "* logon process initialization failed - the Interactive logon process initialization has failed. For more details, please see the event log. "*.

    At this point, the mouse is active, but none of the keyboard keys control apart from the pointer appears only on the area of the event, enter and esc. Pressure on one of them or by clicking on the OK button or Cancel will be empty of the screen. A minute later, the blue screen of death will be appear and disappear quickly, after that, I have the option load Win 7 or return to Win Vista. Do go back to Vista (which I did several times that I care to remember) is not a problem and the laptop runs without problem later. At any time I am able to view the event log.

    I followed the instructions given by the upgrade DVD, IE. removing the drivers and continued on the upgrade to Windows 7. I've updated the mobile site to download drivers/software Toshiba in order to have the machine as much upto date possible - everything to nothing is outside having more drivers to remove using the upgrade DVD.

    The only thing I did is to back up my data and recover Vista to factory settings and load on top of Vista in this way.

    But before that I'm looking for the Forum of Toshiba for any useful advice - someone else has had this problem or does anyone know a way around this - if so I would appreciate your help.

    See you soon
