Satellite M70: Age of empires2 has: graphics issue The Conquerors

Hello

I just bought a laptop Toshiba M70 Satellite with Mobility Radeon X 700 but I have some problems with this classic RTS game Age of Empires 2. When I launch the game it comes an error alert message;

"Can't initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw.

I searched and did all the updates of DirectX and driver. Microsoft supportins suggest are done, also. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/q242902

Is there someone who has the same problem or know the solutions? Need some help here.

Thank you
Berk

  • Satellite M70 - 147 - which driver I need for the wireless card?

    Hi all

    I installed Windows 7 on my Satellite M70-147. Everything works fine, except the WLAN.
    Does anyone know that drivers to use (perhaps a universal) to make this work?

    I don't know what card is in my notebook, I tried the drivers of toshiba for adapters intel, realtek, and ahteros.

    Your help would be much appreciated!

    Hey Buddy,

    First you must make sure what WLAN card you have. Therefore, you can check the device ID and device for the provider Manager. Enter these codes on this Web site: http://www.pcidatabase.com/

    You will see you have the WLAN card. After that, you can try to install the correct driver for your card.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite M70 356: is it possible to change the graphics card

    Hello

    I want to buy Windows Vista (Home Premium). But I also want to activate Vista Aero Glass Style.

    Is it possible to change the interface? How much would it cost?
    Is it really impossible to run Vista on my laptop (with the new skin)?

    Hello Stephan

    You can run definitely Vista on this laptop. I installed Vista on my Satellite M70, but unfortunately this Aero Glass Style option is not available.

    I put t know why it's so important. OK this is very interesting feature, but you can still run Vista without it.

    The problem is that there is no official information on the maximum size of HARD drive on laptop series different. If we can only speculate on the supported formats.

    But I found it here in the forum:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=93195𖰋

    The user has updated the own M70 with the 160 GB drive HARD Toshiba MK1637GSX and it works.
    So maybe this info helps a bit.

  • Satellite M70-340: I don't see that the DVD absolutely menu Cup after reinstalling

    Hello
    I recently bought Toshiba M70 - 340 2 weeks. Now I learn that it is better Toshiba comparing the My.
    My question is that I don't see on the screen the DVD absolutely cut menu. First time when I opened it it was on the Ra±ght referring
    of the screen and my machine was Turkish Win XP Home edition. I have reformat and changes in the English version of Windows XP that accompanies it in Toshiba Recovery CD. But I lost the menu screen for the DVD I guess. A± now don't know how to reinstall this option.

    In addition, my machine is using the Intel Centrino 1.7, but I don't know if it is a two-way process. Second, the ram is 512 MB and I'm looking to buy 2 GB ram extened but seems still very very expensive (around $1100) why is that 2 GB of ram so expensive?

    I am using my laptop for software engineering but also using Macromedia flash and Adobe Photoshop.
    The application and MS VS.NET 2005 as long as SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to the application is very slow and sometimes it takes more than 30
    min. compile or open it.

    I have my home PC P4 3.2 G with 1 GB of ram and it is faster than my Toshibe laptop.

    Be honest with me, after a 5 years later, I bought my second computer laptop and everything first a laptop from a different manufacture.
    I'm looking on the internet and I find the M70-340 with Turkish Q keyboard was the best option and it cost me $1450.

    All I need to know how to overcome my problem and I need a Toshiba to explained to me carefully.
    Can someone read my post and answer my question and concerns?

    Thank you very much and I look forward to receiving help.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I don t want to disappoint you, but please don t wait for someone from Toshiba will write to you because it comes to the forum user. I will try to write a few comments because I have the same unit as you.

    This DVD shortcut is really not understandable for me and I really put t know what you are writing about. If the DVD drive is recognized and installed correctly, it should be listed in the Device Manager and also shown in Windows Explorer. If you want to launch about it please describe the exact location of the DVD drive in Device Manager and Windows Explorer.

    You're right about the memory. This laptop comes with 512 MB of Ram. According to the specifications of the laptop can handle max with 2 GB of Ram and if you want to use max please use 2x1GB module. Is compatible DDR2 400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G).

    2 GB modules are the latest and newest is very expensive. I put t know how much it can cost but certainly not around $1100. With this money, you can buy the laptop integer.

    The list of the used software is impressive and not wonder if the laptop is running slowly. Upgrade of Ram max and it will be much faster. Please don't compare your office with this mobile unit.

    Pick up the news how much memory costs PA3411U-1M1G module and two of them use for RAM max. You will see that unit will go faster and I hope that you will be satisfied with the performance.

    Good day!

  • How can I set on Satellite M70 - 394 to 128 MB graphics memory?

    How can I change the graphics memory from 8 MB to 128 MB? I have tired to adjust it by the BIOS but cannot find it there!

    As far as I know on laptops with Intel (shared memory) graphics card, it is not possible. It is controlled automatically. For more graphics memory, you must use more RAM.

  • Satellite M70: How install driver ATI graphics card

    Hello!

    I want to install the graphics card ati form homepage, which means the newest releases drivers :)
    I downloaded the driver from ati.com (catalyst), that this driver is specially designed for NOTEBOOK computers!

    I can't install driver, Setup writes that I have to contact toshiba.
    What can I do to install the ati drivers?
    Please help me if you can!

    Oxford
    Michi

    Hi Michi

    Nothing to do!
    I checked the site Web of ATI. I chose the notebooks with ATI graphics card and checked which laptop manufacturers are supported.
    and... Is there any Toshiba laptop.

    It is not advisable to install the other drivers for graphics cards. You should always use own graphics driver Toshiba because it is a little bit different. Graphics drivers of Toshiba supports an overheating protection to control performance and temperature.
    The laptop card is a module of own cooling as the desktop PC.
    If the temperature rises to the critical level driver degrades performance.

    Now you know why you must use the drivers from Toshiba. However, I read that it is possible to install the omega drivers.
    But if you install the drivers and use so you can do it at your own risk!

    Hello

    If the reinstallation of the system with the recovery CD does not help, then it is not a software problem.
    This means that some hardware component is defective.
    In this case, you need to take your laptop to the service.

  • Satellite M70: I have to press SHIFT down the Capslock

    Hello

    I have a laptop with Windows XP Pro installed from the rescue disk from Toshiba.

    But now I have the problem that when I press the capslock key the capslock go s on, if I press the capslock again the capslock is turned on.
    I have to press the SHIFT key down the capslock.

    Why is this happening?

    Thanx

    Hello Wendy

    I have the same model of laptop. The history is interesting and I checked all options on my M70, but in my case everything works fine.

    Setting for something like this is unclear to me. Let's see if someone else has a logical explanation for this.

  • Satellite M70-129: user password controls access to the system at boot

    Hello

    1. from Toshiba Assist (password utility) I put the supervisor with string (text boards) owner password and then I put the user with chain owner password. But during startup BIOS only prompt you for the user password and his Rosary of owner. User mode many BIOS options are disable including the HW installation option.

    2. when I click on Toshiba HWSetup, he invites supervisor password. But if I get the supervisor (not 100% sure) password, it says invalid password. I also tried to change the Toshiba supervisor password, password help utility but failed.

    3. in the meantime due to virus attack, I had to reformat my laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD, sacrifice all my data. I bought this laptop in a few months.

    4. How can I completely remove the BIOS supervisor password and user. Help, please.

    Hello Anas

    You are right. If there is no possibility to remove the password, the service partner for this but it costs a bit.

    Otherwise I put t agree with you on the common problem on Satellite models, because it is a very serious thing and I really t think Toshiba may allow something like that to happen. If it's truth can you imagine what turbulence will be on the market, or perhaps to the press. I put t really believe in this theory.

    It is a very long thread! PUH. You would be very lucky if someone post ;) description step by step

    First and foremost the M70-249 Sat belongs to the series of PSM71. Choose the drivers for this series!

    So now your list of pilot;
    Generally, must be set up from the page if you want to use the features of all laptop!

    Now to the list;

    > I think that those who come with Service pack 2 (SP2)? Right?
    Yes, he of right. You need to install SP2

    > Windows Media Player 10 V10.00.00.3646 7
    > I downloaded this version by myself on microsoft.com
    It is not relevant. You can use the old or new version.

    11 > Microsoft .NET Framework V1.1.4322 (SR1)
    > SR1 stands for service pack 1? or what? do I have to download this or will modernize provided with window?
    Microsoft .NET Framework can be downloaded from the site of MS. Don t know which version is the most recent, but you can check it out yourself.

    > Atheros 17 802.11ag / g Client Utility V4.1.1.228.i141
    > This? Where I cand find it?
    It is a WLan tool that allows you to configure the WiFi connection. It can be used only if your laptop has the Atheros Wlan card. (you can check this in the device manager what wireless network adapter has been installed)
    But this tool is not necessary. You can use the Win XP option to configure the WiFi network.

    > Atheros 18 802.11ag / g Wireless lan V4.1.2.71
    > There are in Toshiba driver Atheros wireless lan 5.3.0.67, it's ok?
    As more high depends on the integrated Wlan (Intel or Atheros) map

    > Intel Wireless Lan Driver 802.11 19 ag/g V9.0.2.25
    > Where I can find it?
    > 20 Intel Proset Wireless software for 11ag/g V9.0.2.0
    > Where I can find it?
    Intel page!

    So, basically anything that you can find on the page of the Toshiba driver must be installed.
    Other programs like WinDVD, WinDVD Creator2, Record Now, etc is additional software that was included in the image of Toshiba, but it cannot be downloaded from the page!

  • Satellite M70-187 - recovery made a blunder in place now will not boot

    My Satellite M70 - 187 (PSM 70) has XP on its first Linux and Ubuntu partition on the second, GRUB, Linux boot manager, on the MBR.

    I made a blunder seriously - I just wanted to inspect the contents of the recovery disc, so I booted from it. I was expecting to see some sort of dialogue (he says: 'follow the instructions on the screen' on the disk), but instead apparently he immediately away without asking for any intervention by the user. Firstly, secondly it reversed order on a terminal screen lines, a few seconds later a graphic progress bar is appeared, labeled.

    At this point, I panicked - I had not saved correctly everything, and it looked to me he was already written back his picture over my data. So I hard - power the computer off. On reboot, it wouldn't find his BONES, he had nothing except a blinking cursor. In addition, a Ubuntu Live CD says that it could not mount the hard drive. Then, I stopped to do anything to not make things worse.

    I understand that I can probably easily 'recover' my PC using the recovery again disc, but can I still save my data first? I do not think that he had time to replace the partition data, maybe it only replaced the MBR. But what really that this in the first place, without any dialogue, without asking me? Or it was all well, if only I had been patient for a few seconds? Would it help even if I ran the recovery disc again?

    I understand there is also a recovery console from MS that is included on a CD of Windows and has commands like * fixboot * and * fixmbr * who might or might not be useful, but I realize only now I do not have + have + a Windows CD, given that the recovery disk is anything but that.

    I would really appreciate some help. I'm not at total loss - I have a backup, but as for users more semi experienced, it is neither complete nor perceive...

    I wouldn't change the MBR or any other thing at this point.

    Your best solution would be to connect the HARD drive to another PC and run the recovery software to scan the HARD drive and retrieve your documents.

    Google search for "format data recovery", there are many tools you can try.
