Satellite L500 - several problems with Windows 7

Hello

I bought a Satellite L500 with Vista as os. I upgraded to win 7 using the upgrade disc Toshiba that sent me. Since installing Windows 7, my laptop will freeze at any time.
Ctrl-alt-del doesn't do anything.

My only option is to turn it off with the power button. I installed all the drivers available on the Toshiba site, but nothing helped. In addition, since installing Win 7 the FN key does not work, the touchpad does not work and the eco utility will not work. I have checked all the drivers that I can find and reinstalled, or tried to update. I watched the mouse settings and the pointing device, and this explains his work.

I think it is because I can not activate it with the FN - FN + F9 key. I cut the volume now with FN + ESC (couldn t a few days ago), I can use the FN key to sleep and lock the laptop, but the weak / brightness keys don't work. It seems that they only work up to F5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See you soon

Hi joey,

You will find all the information in the event viewer Windows on this gel?

You should check the Device Manager for unknown devices or yellow exclamation. Maybe it's a driver of s problem.

In regards to the FN keys, you need to install Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. They are required for the FN keys and then you are able to enable/disable the touchpad (FN + F9).

Last but not least check Toshiba page for a version of Windows 7 Eco Utility.

  • Satellite L500 and problems with the Wi - Fi

    Hello people

    I'll just throw my problem there.
    First of all my details and information that can help me to help you!

    Satellite L500 running windows 7 (note: same problems when installing Vista)
    Latest drivers wireless as well as the latest drivers for everything.
    My wireless router is 1 billion active voip 7000 series sound quite good for when I got it about 2 years ago and works well.

    Basically, the problem is that the wireless on my Satellite L500 keeps dropping out. I m not more than 20 meters at most, right now I m 10 m with 1 wall in the way. I tried to make a website, and he says has fallen to either unable to find host connection.

    However other computers laptops in the same room, same place at the same time has no problem at all. Has ever.
    As soon as I'm in the same room as my router, it works again. Sometimes works if I stand right on the opposite wall.

    So basically I m thinking my card wireless in my laptop is defective or simply not good?
    Can u replace the card with another wireless? Maybe the Toshiba ones are just no good? I read so many problems with these cards Toshibas wireless...

    Anyone have any ideas? I ran out of the info you need? I repost he's again in a day or two with the types of wireless devices in every laptop.

    Hello

    For the moment, I doubt that your wireless network card is broken. Before Exchange you it you must also update your BIOS and not only the WLAN card driver. Two updates you need to download it from the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    I had a similar problem with my Toshiba laptop and WIFI connection. The problem was in the WLAN energy saving mode Windows power management. Here, you can also choose a mode for energy saving wireless network card. Turn it off, and then choose a maximum Performance.

  • Satellite L500: WARNING: problem with cooling system message

    Dear Toshiba

    Some may perhaps explain to me how that happens.

    We have 2 x L500 computers laptops, one was bought and activated a day of July 2010 (Computer1)
    The other was purchased 1 day later the same store and activated the same day - 1 day later (machine 2)

    Yesterday machine 1 responded with the warning message, there is a problem with the cooling system - please turn the machine off and return it for service.

    Machine 2 responded today with the exact same message, just after turning on after 4 hours OFF... an unusual situation say you or are - this sort of built in: service to generate the functionality?
    I'm not convinced it's a stroke of luck and there is nothing wrong with a machine that I could see.

    Anyway to reset every machine has solved the problem, see how long it takes to return.
    As you may have guessed, two machines are out of warranty by a few months now.

    If any of you have a similar problem, would be happy to hear from you.

    Kind regards

    Ernie

    Hello

    One of my friends had the Satellite L500. As far as I know the laptop works pretty well.

    I do not know if this message was created because of a software problem, but the laptop should automatically stops down if the cooling modules would not work properly and the temperature would goes up to a higher level of m

    So I recommend watching the temp for the next time level and of course, you could get in touch with a Toshiba ASP in your country if notice plu temp or a hardware problem with the module cooling

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I can't explain what happened exactly with your machine. Maybe you have installed all the updates available (important and optional). Maybe the display driver has been offered as a driver in option.

    In any case, what you can do now is follow:
    -try to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore option
    -Reinstall the display driver - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    -in the worst case, you can reinstall OS HARD drive recovery option (I hope it works)

  • Satellite L500 - some problems with the internal webcam

    Hello.

    My L500-13v is a little over a year old, but from the beginning, I'm having a lot of the built in ' USB 2.0 webcam» Sometimes it works, more often, is not, sometimes, I try to open the camera app and it says "device is locked by another application" despite not using any other application in time. When I try it on Msn or other applications, I just either get a black screen or "no device connected". I also get a pop up saying "this device can operate more quickly if connected to a hi speed usb 2.0 port" so I wonder if Toshiba have connected the camera of 2.0 to a 1.0 port internally, (at the time I thought not usb 1.0 was even used.) In Device Manager, it lists six standard usb host controllers and only two controllers to improved host 2.0). I used to always get that when I take the computer off the sleep mode. However I always stop instead of sleep, but its still a very regular, even when I use the cam, it can suddenly gives me this message and then stops working. Recently, when I click to open ""Toshiba Webcam Application"I get a blue screen saying"irql not less equal"which according to me is a hardware error." and then it auto restarts.

    This laptop is preinstalled with vista, the webcam using a microsoft driver. I contacted toshiba about this problem last year, but they only told me to install the application driver 'web cam' on their site which I had already tried in safe mode and normal mode, I do not know why they give just a standard INF file. Vista will automatically pick up their driver and continues to try to reinstall the microsoft one, I finally managed to install the driver of toshiba by manually choosing Select a driver from the list, unchecking, show compatable drivers and finding Toshiba and PanGu, but after that, I still have the same problem.

    I hope that someone more knowledgeable than me can help me with this, thanks.

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest, I would also reinstall the webcam driver but maybe you did something wrong

    So in your case I remove the current version of the webcam software and then restart your laptop. Now clean the registry using the freeware CCleaner tool which is a really nice tool to clean the system and delete the incorrect registry keys. After that, restart the computer and install the new software of the webcam of the official website of Toshiba.

    Normally after this procedure your webcam should work properly again.
    If this is not the case you should try a recovery facility, maybe something is blocking the the webcam driver who knows

    First of all:

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit (6.1, Build 7600) I had Dell upgrade Vista 64-bit. It's on your laptop Studio XPS 1640. Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2. 4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670

    The problems I encounter are:

    Does not not about our different programs: Firefox, IE (I tried Chrome and had the same problem and uninstalled), pictures folder... everything.

    My hotkey ejection has not worked since I upgraded to Windows 7. (Which seems not that bad of a problem).

    And finally, and most importantly, I got the blue screen of death a couple of times that said something about a Kernel error and 0 x 00007 or some number of zeros. He always stops before that I can write anything.

  • Performance on a Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista problems

    Can someone help me with this.
    My laptop is a new Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista.

    I had my last configuration less portable, but you know what? He was faster!

    I'm supposed to have cetrino duo 2, 2 GHz and cach of 4 MB, FSB 667 MHz, RAM 1 GB, even though they are at 533 MHz, 100 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive / MIN.

    It is slow, not only starting, programs opening, plays something, the browser and even to copy from the CD to the hard drive sometimes give me time 4 days left!

    Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
    Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

    Hey dude,

    Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
    There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

    The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

    In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
    All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

  • Satellite M70-239 - problems with brightness adjustment

    Hello

    I ve got this laptop from my father after I buyed a new. Actually everything´s with him very well. But one thing is a little strange, I think.
    My old laptop and other portable that I had before, has the ability to control things like the brightness of the screen when you connect to load automatically. So not for this one. Nothing happens.

    Windows doesn´t also shows the remaining battery life expectancy and other things like that. These functions are not supported by this guy? I ve installed the latest bios version 1.70, which is available on the official website and I m using Windows XP.

    Someone at - it the same problem and is there a solution for this? Maybe you can help me.

    welcome them

    Hello

    Satellite M70 was delivered with Windows XP edition family, and Windows XP Home typical configuration. I imagine that you have installed all Toshiba tools and utilities, so it must there also have preinstalled Toshiba Power saver.

    He yiou can see profiles of different powers and each of them can be configured separately. Thus, when the laptop is connected to power notebook AC power will be the mode full power. There you can set LCD brightness to the maximum level.
    When the laptop is on battery will then serve others power plan. Compare the settings in two power modes and choose your preferred settings.

    Brightness level can also be changed with the key FN + F6/F7 combination.
    Of course, this will works if all Toshiba tools and utilities are preinstalled.

  • Satellite A200-1YO - problems installing Windows XP Home edition

    Hi guys,.

    First of all I'm new here so Hello to everyone here and I hope you can help me with my problems of software.

    I recently bought a laptop model Toshiba Satellite A200-1YO provided with windows vista (which must be frank, pants and IMO too demanding for the machine) and I have a problem with vista, because some of its features do not seem to work, for example, I'm having a lot of trouble getting some of the webpages to open now, they simply hang out.

    now, I didn't install windows xp but I don't have an external floppy drive. This is not a problem but because I can use Nlite to integrate the drivers in a new ISO of Windows XP.

    The problem is that I have 4 sets of drivers: ICH7M_32bit, ICH7M_64bit, ICH8M_32bit and ICH8M_64bit. As I install Windows XP 32-bit while I'm more or less some that I have not need 64-bit drivers but when I install Windows XP by using the modified version of windows xp slipstreamed, what I get at startup is a BSD error telling me that something has crashed on my hard drive , however I can't say which crashed as the screen disappears after 15 seconds if that so I guess there is something wrong with the drivers I use (though I must admit that I'm not sure the drivers 32-bit to use)

    advice and assistance regarding being able to install windows xp would be welcome, as I said above, however, I can only use Nlite since I do not have a usb floppy drive.

    Satellite A200-1YO has a chip with the ICH8M southbridge Intel GM965.

    So you need the driver for SATA ICH8M_32bit.

  • Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

    Hello, everyone!

    Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

    For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi EvanaZgb,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

    I would say to first disable the anti virus and other security software. Then proceed as follows:

    STEP 1

    To install the latest Windows Installer, visit the Microsoft Web site at the following address:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

    Step 2 now try to update again and post back with the results
    ------------
    Cleanup, utility to download and install the Microsoft Windows CleanUp utility. To do this, see the Microsoft Web site: http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe

    original title: the problem with Windows update

    Please help me to get Windows Update operational return.

    Had a problem with "Generic host process for Win32 has encountered a problem and needs to close."  Follow-up of the instructions on this link:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931852

    Seems to have cleared the error message.  So far so good.

    However, now a Windows Update does not work.  Security Center Windows were told to go to control panel > system and use the Automatic Updates tab.  But, if I go to control panel > system, the Automatic Updates tab does not appear.

    I also went to the control panel > Services.  Tried to start the automatic updates service.  Received this error message: could not start the service automatic updates on Local computer.  Error 126: The specified module could not be found

    I already followed several instructions on this subject:

    In the thread above, I was following the post on 30 August.  According to Option A, I completed step 5 for the uninstallation of McAfee Security.  At this time, my network card has stopped working.  On the recommendation of the officer, I posted to the Malwarebytes forum.  The officer determined Malwarebytes that I don't have a malicious software.  I ended up posting on forum McAfee to get my network card works again.  Then I reinstalled McAfee and start to run Windows Update.

    I started with Option A, step 8 to reset Internet Explorer using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737.  The difficulty it has worked very well.

    Then Option A, step 9 says reset Windows Update using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.  When I ran the difficulty in default or aggressive mode, I got an error message saying: he cannot start wuauserv.  The message asks me to verify that the user has privileges to take this step.  Well, I checked through user accounts who am the only one user set up on this PC and I have administrator privileges.  Help me please run this difficulty or recommend another way to get Windows Update works again.

    [1]... looks like you are saying that my system is so wet that a clean install is the (only?) way to go.

    [2] if I do a clean install, not only what I need to reinstall Windows and all my applications, I also have to reinstall the drivers... Etc. ?

    [3] I think I have the disks supplied with the PC system. Is it better to use than to use the recovery partitiion?

    [4A]... is there a possibility that some of [my data are] infected?

    [4] preventing me from simply infect the whole PC again?

    A1. Yes, and it was my recommendation in August, too.

    A2. Yes.

    A3. Only not really well using the restore Partition hidden to make the "destructive recovery" will include all drivers, etc., that have been installed at the factory.

    A4a. Yes, a real possibility.

    A4b. You run at least three 3 tests on the backup data before restoring one (1) with your installed & updated up-to-date anti-virus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials) and two 2 with good reputation, free online scans (e.g., ESET;) Bit Defender; Kaspersky; HouseCall; (F - Secure).

    If you have saved your data on CD/DVD, the disc scanner. If you have backed up your data to a flash drive, SD card, or another external drive AND KB971029 is installed, analyze the drive.
