  Anyone know if it is possible to make the default CD/DVD Drive Acoustic silencer silent mode whenever I put a disc in the drive?

  Now, the icon appears in the taskbar and it takes only a few clicks, but it would be nice if I could just leave all the time. My version of the acoustic silencer is 32-bit, Windows Vista and Satellite L305-S5919 2.02.03.

  Appreciate any suggestions.

• Satellite L305-S5939: bridge & Speedboost Vista card media adapter

  I just bought a Satellite L305-s5939 and forgot to consult it when I bought it.
  Before I opened the box, I wanted to understand two things.

  First of all, what is a bridge of media card adapter?
  He said that this computer has one on the specifications.
  This means - it is not built in and I have to put the adapter whenever I want to use?

  Second adapter of this type does not allow the use of Speedboost for Vista.
  I just assumed that all laptops had standard built in memory card readers, but it read adapter bridge and makes me nervous.

  I thank you,

• Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

  Hello

  I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

  1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
  PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

  2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

  3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
  PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

  4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
  You can find a useful article about this here:

  3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

  4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
  Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

• Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

  I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
  Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
  And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
  What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

  My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
  I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
  He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

  This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
  I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
  But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

  This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

  Tom

  The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
  If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

  CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
  You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

• Satellite Pro L10: Question about saving the files on a CD

  Please can someone tell me how I can save a typed document (produced in Word or similar) on the CD? I don't have a floppy drive on my satellite pro L10 portable. Have 'saved' music using the immediate recording before, but now need to record your actual work on the hard disk for transport to a pc with access to a printer.

  When I tried it told me incorrect function, contact administrator (that's me!) I tried CD - R and CD - RW discs and neither would not let me save the file on it. would be grateful for any advice regarding this.

  Thank you

  Hi Roy,

  First of all, you will ned to ensure that you have enabled logging on oprical drive you. For this a right-click on the CD-ROM in my computer icon and then selecting "properties-> recording. Make sure that "Enable CD writing on this drive" is checked.

  Once you have done the above, you can simply drag the documents that you want to copy on the CD-ROM icon in my computer.

  Note that the burning process does not happen immediately. Windows caches the files to be placed on your hard drive first and then you can burn all documents cached only once.

  Alternatively, you may find that some third-party software has been bundled with your portable computer, which performs a similar function the standard Windows CD burn software.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello
  ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

  prior to thank you for your support

  Hello

  It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
  I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
  I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

• Questions about migration on server 1 for win 7 PC temporarily

  Hello, I am charged with moving that customers 2 of our current of 2 to VMware host separate Windows 7 64-bit PCs TEMPORARILY so that I can install for free ESXi 5.1 as the new host (replacing the current host, which is a Standard operating system Windows Server 2003 on a server Dell Poweredge 2950 using VMware Server 1.0.10).  After the ESXi installation on the server, I intend to spend both clients as they exist now to the new ESXi host.

  I have a few questions about this project, and I hope I can pull your knowledge to help me.  My question is:

  (1) is this a feasible plan?

  (2) what methods would you recommend using?

  (3) should what tools I use?

  You can use vmware player as a free virtual machine player.

  Use vmware converter to convert your servers.

  Is not recommneded for convert DCs however, what you might do, it is to build a new one. However, it is possible.

• Question about the database to use with ESX and Labmanager

  Hello

  Finally my company is buying a permit for Labmanager and ESX server using Labmanager to our tests.

  We had a question about the database that we use for the actual installation.

  Could we use MY - SQL? Or that we have the olbigation to install a SQL or Oracle DB for the whole system to work?

  We prefer to use MY_SQL because it is open-source and will cost less to use for us.

  Thanks in advance for the answer and please excuse my bad English, I'm french spoke first.

  Montreal.

  Lab Manager installs SQL Express as part of the installation and use. If you install also Virtual Center as part of your deployment of Lab Manager (do not use an existing VC server), you can use the database SQL Express is included for small installations of ESX, but MY SQL is not an option. You can search the databases supported in the installation guide for what version you deploy.

• Few questions about 2 x new Satellite L350D

  Hello

  Just in 2 notebooks of Toshiba Satellite L350D - 12 m, the other is Satellite L350-170.
  I now hit that is an Intel dual core and now breath cold air on the side and still the other laptop is an AMD dual core and it still blows hot air also I have two laptops there is a lot of garbage from Toshiba.

  Buy a recovery media that will restore only Vista and not all the trial software? I wish I could install WXP. I have the CD of facilities, but cannot find the serial number.
  If anyone can give me any help on these questions on can I remove, I would be very happy.

  Things like configfree do I need and I also have on my d hhdrecovery drive. It s almost 6 GB.
  I can modify it in any way to remove the track from office and other rubbish, and one last question I paragon backup drive so if I backup c now and xp fails somehow I can just restore to vista?

  Thank you

  To be honest I don't know what you want about cold or hot air with description. The fact is that portable equipment heat and laptop be cooled properly. The heat from the laptop is depends on its use. As you probably know when you use applications heavy CPU and GPU temperature will be higher than usual.
  So in the end, I must say that there is nothing unususal. I just recommend you take care how the laptop is placed on the desk. Make sure that the cooling fan is not blocked and portable can catch its breath.

  Hmm... What about Toshiba garbage? Perhaps the word trash are not one that fits, but if you want to say there are a lot of things pre-installed that we can live without it, I would say: you have right about. Is that you don't have to use all this software pre-installed and you can remove it from the system all that you do not want to use. Simply install your favorite applications.

  Toshiba doesn't offer additional software to restore media (with or without). So you can just what you got with your laptop.
  ConfigFree is very useful tool and it is very good for LAN/WLAN monitoring. This tool doesn't need a lot of resources and I recommend you leave preinstalled on your system.

  All folder HDDRecovery I say follow: be careful about this. This folder contains original recovery image. Toshiba doesn't offer support recovery DVDs with laptop and on all new models of notebook recovery image is recorded on the second partition. What you need to do is to create your own recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool. Please, do so immediately before you make changes on the structure of the HARD drive (remove this folder or change the partitions).
  So when the recovery DVD is created, you can delete this folder to have more free space on the second partition.

  If something goes wrong with Vista preinstalled for other facilities, you can use this recovery media created. Usually when the laptop starts up for the first time, a reminder will be displayed with following message:

  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair *.
  * your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose 'Repair your computer' *)
  * and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator."
  * for Hat, you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is seriously damaged *.

  So please be careful about this.

  Paragon is unknown to me, but when you have the recovery DVD you can do what you want with book. After using this recovery media guests to new factory settings. All trial versions can be removed from the system.

  Sorry if I forgot something, but if you have other questions please post again.

  Bye and good luck!

• Question about sound card on Satellite Pro L40

  Hello

  I use a program called Sibelius and recommended an ASIO compatible sound card.
  Can someone tell me if the sound in the satellite pro L40 series card is compatible ASIO?
  If not I can plug a card external sound which is compatible and if so how can I turn off the internal sound card.

  Thank you

  I really don't think not someone will be able to give you information about the ASIO compatibility, but I see no problem, that is if you want to use the external device. Card internal sound, you can disable it in Device Manager.

• Satellite 1900-303: Question about upgrade video card

  I have satellite 1900 - 303 and want to somehow upgrade the video card. Is that someone has an idea that is possible or not and if yes how and where to buy a new one.
  Thank you

  Hi Galin,

  It is generally not possible to update the graphics card in a notebook. They are generally adapted to fit the available space and also specially designed drivers that are specific to your model of laptop. It is also quite common for them to use the RAM shared rather than having their own chip RAM (although some later model specifications have dedicated for graphics RAM).

  You can check in your advanced (from Control Panel) display options if you can adjust the RAM available for your graphics card.

• Satellite C660-1F1 - Question about newer drivers and the speed of the memory

  Some of the drivers for this laptop are outdated compared to the most recent drivers on peripheral manufacters website. Is it safe to use these new drivers or is it recommended to stick with the old drivers that are on the Toshiba site?

  And second question: is it possible to make the fastest possible working memory supported? Don t BIOS options include options for the parameters of memory. Why the memory is running as low mhz in case of default? CPU - Z shows that the current frequency of dram is 532, 2 mhz. What is the maximum, it is at 667 mhz? Probably she can´t be 1 066 MHz as promised in the specs?

  Hi cryogenized,.

  > Some of the drivers for this laptop are outdated compared to the most recent drivers on peripheral manufacters website. Is it safe to use these new drivers or is it recommended to stick with the old drivers that are on the Toshiba site?
  Why you want to update your drivers? Do you expect a gain of performance with newer drivers?

  Way General, with official Toshiba drivers you are on the safe side because they are pre-tested. If you can make sure that they work properly and don t cause property damage. Install the other drivers happens on your own risk!

  > And second question: is it possible to make the fastest possible working memory supported? Don t BIOS options include options for the parameters of memory.

Probably she can´t be 1 066 MHz as promised in the specs?
  The laptop is equipped with modules of DDR3 1066 MHz and the RAM speed is dependent on the FSB of the processor. If your CPU is throttling down, RAM modules will work also on low speed. On a high utilization of the processor (100%) the RAM modules must run with speed of 1066 MHz I think.
