Satellite L500/087 - "grey spiral" appears on the cursor randomly

Hi all

I recently bought a L500/087 and have found that once a "gray spiral" random appears on the slider and so accidentally right click on the cursor at that time, it minimizes the screen.

I was wondering if this has happened to someone else, or if someone knows how to solve this problem.

See you soon. Emma

Hello

Do you use the portable computers touchpad?
If Yes, please check if this would happen using an external mouse.

I think that touching the touchpad with two fingers at the same time it would cause.
This is a feature and is called * pinch zoom * and can be disabled in the control panel with a tick in a box!

AFAIK you could disable the option in the control panel-> mouse->-> settings (or properties) pointing device
There you should find the Synaptics touchpad options

  • 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!

  • Satellite L500 with XP - where to find the display driver

    I have a new Satellite L500.
    I installed XP and I can not find the display drivers.
    The display is an ati mobility radeon hd 4500.

    I found only the drivers for vista.
    If a person has found that xp drivers?

    Hello

    You are right. The European driver Toshiba page does not provide a Win XP drivers for this laptop yet.

    But I think that you should not worry much laptops are equipped with the same GPU chip.
    I recommend checking the previous series of Toshiba laptops and trying to install this driver.

    In the worst case you will have to google a bit for a Win XP ATI mobility Radeon HD 4500 driver.

    If you find such driver then you could install it in Device Manager by using the Advanced installation procedure. This will help you to point to the driver files that you have downloaded and stored on the HARD drive. This facility works almost every time

    Hey,.

    Is it really a problem of display driver you need a new version? If you need a new display driver for the games, you must update the first DirectX version and take a look if the game is compatible with your graphics card.

    If you can find t a new display driver for Satellite L500 check other specs of the laptop. Other models like the Satellite L650 also have an AMD graphics card and there you should find a newer version. :)

  • Satellite L500 clicking on programs results in the "open with".

    I have a Satellite L500-1XL. When I click on a shortcut to the program, a box opens direct me "choose the program you want to open this file with. This happens with Internet Explorer, Office programs shortcuts to Web pages - everything. I can still connect to the internet and open your files through start menu and clicking on the computer.

    What is the result of a virus? I use AVG.

    Since when you noticed this problem? Have you noticed that night?
    Are you using the original recovery image Toshiba (installation of the OS)?

  • Satellite L500-14F - where can I get the drivers?

    Hello everyone

    I really need drivers for Satellite L500-14F. I just bought it and I did a format for her, and then he asked me for the update of drivers. The shop gave me a CD for her. Is it just for this model without drivers CD if that's why they did without drivers updated?

    Please answer me I'm waiting.

    Hello!

    What operating system you have installed?

    The L500-14F belongs to the PSLJTE series, so you can find all the drivers on the Toshiba page. I m wondering that you didn t find them.
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    And yes that's normal as Satellite L500 doesn t have a recovery DVD because you must create this disk yourself. This is why you must start the preinstalled OS on Toshiba recovery disc creator, but now it of too late because you have already installed another OS. If you want a recovery disk, you must order a new Toshiba directly.

    In the end, I can only say you should read the manual first if you buy something new. You shouldn't t use the laptop if you n t know anything. ;)

    Good bye

  • Satellite L500 - 19 - how to properly configure the keyboard?

    I bought a Satellite L500 - 19 c with Windows 7 64 bit and I am having trouble with the keyboard mapping for the correct use of the Portuguese language.

    When I try to highlight a letter, for example by 'one', I get the side ' ~ ~ ' instead of the accent over the letter. I checked all the configurations of Windows and Toshiba SW and everything seems to go well tuned for Portuguese (Portugal).

    Please help me how to fix.

    Normally, you can change the layout of the keyboard so go to control panel > keyboard. Here, you must add the keyboard layout you want and delete all other layouts you want.

    After that, the keyboard should work fine.

    In my opinion, this question is for Microsoft. As far as I know it is the functionality of Windows and the laptop manufacturer has not much to do with it.
    Can you create upward on the second partition of HARD drive or even on external HARD drive?
