• Satellite M40-307: accessibility utility does not work with the limited user account

  Hello everyone,

  I have a Satellite M40-307 (PSM44E), and I had a problem with the utility "accessibility", which displays an icon in the notification bar of Windows XP, to inform the user if the "Fn" key is active or not.

  This utility would not work for the administrator would not worry so much, because the administrator is supposed to know what he does. But the limited user doesn't have access, that bother anymore.

  In Administrator, this utility works quite well. But during a session of limited user, if I try to launch it in [runas / user: admin "C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Windows Utilities\TACSPROP.exe"],
  I am replied that the file TCMSVR. DLL is not found. If I launch normally, a message tells me that this utility requires that I am logged on as administrator.

  So, what can I do to use this utility normally, i.e. in a limited user Sessiona? *

  Hello

  Well, you should try to activate the rights for the TACSPROP.exe.
  To do this, you must enter the operating system as an administrator.
  Choose the application, right click. There is a Security tab. Here, you need to activate the permissions for all users.

  My dog ate my Satellite M40-307 cable (unfortunately he survived), I want (NEED) a replacement. The Toshiba web site lists the replacement as an adapter 15 - 17V, where clearly the adapter provided with my PC is a 19V adapter. The rear of the machine also lists a DC 19V - 3. 42 power needs.

  ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
  For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

  Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
  It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

  How can I flasch BIOS with other versions,
  His big problem to work

  Thank you and I hope you can help me...

  Hello

  The version of the BIOS should be mentioned in the BIOS settings.
  Turn on the device, press F2 and verify the version here.

  Also I recommend the settings of the BIOS back to default settings.
  In the BIOS settings, you will need to press F9 to get the default value. Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
  Restart the machine and check how many processes are running in the context of the BONE.

  I recommend disabling of certain non-essential processes in msconfig.
  There, you can go to the Startup tab and could uncheck the unnecessary process.

• Satellite C855 - 19 X - BIOS update problem

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite phone C855 - 19 X and the alert tempo TOSHIBA utility prompts me to update my BIOS. However when I am doing so I get the following message

  "Error".
  Flash process will end!
  Current platform have secure start capability, it must provide the location of storage NV by interface IHISI.
  Please contact BIOS OEM Engineer to add the feature.
  Without this IHISI interface, variables to authenticate will be modified or erased by flash process.
  If you understand the risk and want to keep flashing.
  You can add the following parameter in platform.ini to ignore the error.
  [EngineeringErrorDisable]
  SkipSecureBootProtectionCheck = 1"

  Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem? Should I add this parameter, or is otherwise around it? Because the BIOS will be affected I hesitate to do so.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  First of all, you should know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and using wrongly you can damage the motherboard. So be sure to always update the BIOS.

  Second, the update of the BIOS is not quite necessary in case your laptop runs correctly.
  You have problems using the laptop? Isn't it? Well, in this case I wouldn't touch the BIOS.

  However, the error message is telling as secure boot
  Secure boot is an available option in the BIOS settings. You should probably disable secure boot before running the BIOS update file.

  There is a possibility of screen WITHOUT doing a BIOS update, and if yes what do I need?

  I tried to copy the BIOS file. ROM on a USB key and start the laptop by pressing Fn + B.
  It takes about 5-10 sec for the stick, but unfortunately I still have no display.

  Thanks in advance

  + The message has changed: the content has been translated.

  If the BIOS is not successful, the ROM module must be flashed with special crisis disk BIOS
  Unfortunately, as far as I know something like this can be done by a Toshiba authorized service provider available in your country.

• Satellite A500 emit after bios update 1.50

  Hey guys and girls,

  I have some problems after the update of the bios. Before the update my laptop has been the scene of much smoother and everything was fine and dandy until Tempro told me to update my bios. The problem is that after the update, the temperature seems to be considerably higher as usual when I play the game (I am a gamer) and also all the games I play seems to be much slower than before (lower, gal frame rate). Before the update I could play Dragon Age Origins with 1366 x 768 with 4 x anti-aliasing and the only one that I could get the same performance with the graphic parameter above is on 800 x 600. Now, it is certainly a big problem for someone who is a graphics junkie when it comes to games.

  * What do you think I should do? *

  A. downgrade my bios for when I bought everything first? (I don't know what version of bios is if anyone knows the stock bios?)
  B. perform HARD drive recovery?
  C. clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  My laptop computer spec:

  Model name: Satellite A500
  Part number: PSAR3E-00N005EN
  Serial number: X9206227K
  OS version: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition
  BIOS version: 1.50
  Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
  Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 230 M

  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

  Hi mate

  I think you had a version of BIOS 1.30
  In older versions of the BIOS update are not available on the Toshiba driver download page. Only ASP (partner) has access to these early BIOS versions

  In any case, I found an interesting thread:

  Not sure if it could be useful but check

  PS; the graphics card driver update is a good idea it too check

• Re: Satellite C660 - after cooler BIOS update speed is increased and troubling

  Good evening
  Five hours ago, I did update the BIOS and restart the computer after that I noticed that the speed of the cooler is increased and worrying. Mention that they bought a Toshiba Satellite C660 last month.
  Please, if you can help me how to set the correct rotation!

  Thank you!

  PS: Sorry for my English I'm not from England!

  I think several people have posted about it here on this forum so it's a shame you don't l l check this forum before you took the decision to put the BIOS updated. If you have some time check other assignments in category C satellite.

  In any case, I can say, it's that you can try to reduce the speed of the cooling fan with cooling method option in the advanced power settings.

  This should reduce the speed of the cooling fan and your laptop will work a lot quieter. Put simply to option in battery mode.

• Satellite A300 - after the BIOS update I can not install two OS

  Hello everyone:

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-247 with Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Then I formatted it and divided the hard (320 GB) into 6 partitions and installed Windows Vista and Windows XP on drive C to drive D after having changed the SATA controller mode in the BIOS for compatibility. The computer worked well with 2 operating systems. However, when I updated the BIOS to version 1.9, two operating systems stop working and one of them can be installed: XP can be installed when SATA controller mode is placed on compatibility and Vista can be installed only when the SATA is changed to AHCI.

  Is there is no explanation of what past? And can I install operating systems 2 together again?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all, I doubt that this has something to do with the BIOS update. I think that after the BIOS update HARD drive mode has been changed from AHCI to compatibility and therefore the OS didn't start.

  Anyway, in compatibility mode you can install Vista and XP without the SATA drivers. This should t be a problem.

  But do you know the difference between compatibility and AHCI? AHCI mode is faster and therefore I would recommend this mode.
  Like you said Vista you can already install in AHCI mode and for XP, you need Intel Storage Manager. This package includes the SATA drivers you need and here is a step by step guide to use these drivers:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

  Last but not least, you can install 2 OS. You can do what you want! ;)

• Satellite A30 - after the BIOS update I can not install any OS

  Hey everybody

  I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A30 PSA33E. I update my old BIOS and 1.7 and now I have a problem: I can not install any OS on my PC because it stops whenever I try to install. After 50 tests, I installed a Windows SP2, but my PC turns off always.

  My CPU is at 100% after I launch mozilla so I guess my problem is the BIOS. I try to install v1.8 BIOS and is not working and I get an error (not compatible with the installed BIOS)

  Where can I find the 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 ROM BIOS? Can someone help me please?
  THX

  The latest version of the BIOS should not cause this kind of thing. Have reset you the BIOS to its default settings?

  Have you checked the CPU radiator for an accumulation of dust? A can of compressed Air can help remove dust through the vents.

  What was the reason that you updated the BIOS, in the first place? Had previous problems with the system?

• Black screen on the Satellite A100-712, after Bios Update

  Hi I have a laptop, satellite

  I tried to update the BIOS and downloaded the exe from Toshiba Web site and run the EXE file, but the system freezes for 15 minutes, so I tried to stop him, but could not stop so I took out the battery to shut it down.

  But now the laptop to not start at all. Fan is woking but screen is blank, the keyboard does not work as well.

  How can I Flash the bios again? I don't have a floppy drive.

  In this case, you could do anything for yourself.

• Satellite U500 - 1-8 - BIOS update problem

  Hello

  I have a problem with * BIOS * update on my Toshiba * U500 - 1 d 8-PSU9ME *.
  Currently, the BIOS is + v1.50 +, but on this page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=EU
  I found the new version + v1.90 +. (I know that the BIOS update should be made not when any problem occurs, but I occasionally some problems on startup etc...)

  When I run the update * UBIOS.bat* that nothing happens, but the thread * WinFlash.exe* is running on background.

  What can I do? I found this manual http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm, but it is not useful.
  Any idea?

  Thank you
  Concerning

  Hello

  If you have downloaded the BIOS v1.90 so you need to unzip (uncompress) first of all, this package. Inside the packaging, you will find the BIOS190.exe
  You must run this exe file.

  You say that WinFlash.exe is running on the background. Well, try closing this process and start then start the update
  You can also reboot the device and might try to start the procedure once more
