Satellite P100-160 - burning Vista CD/DVD very slow

I have a brand new P100-160. The dvd/cd drive integrated in Vista takes 4 hours to burn 400 MB of data on a DVD.
As a test, I also burned a full DVD I canceled after 18 hours.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Hello the

Until we start our discussion can you please give me more info on things to follow:
1 burning software you use?
2. which blank media are you using? Have you tried little different like TDK or other brand products
3. to what extent the RAM has your laptop?

Please test with high quality blank media.

  • Satellite P100-160 with Vista: No TV-OUT after downgrade to XP

    Hi guys hope you can help me out here...

    I recently bought a laptop (satellite p100-160) with Vista on it to know that it was not compatible with wot I bought dethrone so I decided to downgarde for XP Home Edition... Solange decommissioning that I had to install a few drivers like there's do and everything went well...

    Anyway, a few weeks later (yesterday), I went to watch a movie and when I pluged in my tv out cable, I have nothing. I tried to unplug and plug in again a few times but still nothing, it normally switches on in about 20 seconds... So im guessing that either I need to a driver or a Summit.

    Can someone help me out here?

    Thanks a lot

    You n t need a special driver to use the s-video port.
    You must install only the compatible graphics driver.

    How have you tried to switch to the TV device?
    Have you used the FN + F5 key combination?
    You should do this.

    Connect the TV to the laptop using the s-video port. Then select the s-video on the TV and choose the right channel.
    Press the FN + F5 several times until you get a picture on the TV.

    Please note; Don t start the DVD software like DVD win until you have not enabled on TV!

  • Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE Vista: all my Toshiba Utilities stopped working

    All of my Toshiba Utilities stopped working.
    Message appears saying "* stopped working" windows is looking for a solution.

    It was after that updates have been installed in the correct order as posted earlier in the forum. Not only the value added package configfree as well as PC diagnosis, etc.

    I have a Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE under Vista Home Premium.

    Any ideas? I think that perhaps is McAfee Security Center has something to do with it.

    Hello

    I suggest the following: recover your machine and update tools and drivers again. I don't know if McAfee is the cause of your problem, but if a system is broken on the software side, then, among the most popular and useful actions is to restore the system, and then being happy when it works again.

    Would appreciate comments on your success.

    I am a novice with a new machine, but cannot get it engraved images of dvd with sonic.
    Can someone give me a simple step-by-step guide.
    Thank you very much

    Hi Ronald,.

    I can not help you with Sonic because I've never used but what if all you want to do is to burn pictures on a DVD then I can recommend Microsoft Photostory. I myself used with excellent results, and is a free download from Microsoft. You can get all this: -.

  • Satellite P100-160: I want a replacement for Vista to XP

    I'm having so much trouble with vista which is preinstalled on my satellite p100-160. OK I was expecting a few driver problems and a few apps incompatible, but I wasn't expecting the DVD burner does not work properly and a crowd of vista questions like messaging windows refuses to delete e-mails.

    I want a refund on Vista or better still for Toshiba provide a copy of XP replacement.

    She can tell me who I need to contact Toshiba. Thank you

    Hi my friend

    You're not alone and many other users installing WXP on laptops preinstalled Vista. Contact Toshiba won't help you at all. Don't waste your time and install your Windows on your laptop. On this forum, you can find some very interesting topics about installing Windows XP Home on Satellite P100.

    If I remember well, only problem may be the use of external microphone connected to the mic port.

    If you have more questions about the installation of Windows XP Home edition please write again.

  • Satellite P100-160: problems of Vista Outlook 2007 download mail from POP3 server

    I am running Vista on a Satellite P100-160 and you just install Office 2007. Initially, Outlook work very well and then changed to send only messages but not get it back. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but no improvement. I know that the server settings are very well because I can run from another machine on the same home network and download the mail.

    I also have Norton security on the computer and I wonder if somehow the Port used to download mail (110) may be blocked. Someone else had this problem or any suggestions on how to fix.

    As a last resort I clean the entire disk and re-install from the product recovery disc and see what happens.

    Thanks for the info.

  • Questions about changing OS from Vista to XP on Satellite P100-160

    Hello

    I wonder if someone could help me... I don't like Windows Vista with a passion and I would much change for Windows XP.

    My P100-160 provided with Windows Vista pre-installed, but until now I feel of it is poor to say the least! So I'd like to return the easy to use Windows XP.

    Could you get it someone please let me know if there is something special I have to do in order to get XP to run properly. I've been reading through some of the questions on the forums on this topic, but want a nice simple step 1, step 2, etc. to ensure that I do the things first.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance received.

    Best regards

    Yvonne

    Hello

    You need description step by step? Come on man :)

    Do everything simply if you want to install the XP. During the installation of XP, you will need to format the HARD disk, partition to install XP on the laptop.
    Then, after the installation of the OS, you could install the drivers of Toshiba which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

    Please note that you need XP compatible drivers! As far as I know that the Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAAE series. So please choose this one if you download the drivers.

    In addition, you will need to install drivers in the correct order. Placed on the Toshiba page installation instructions could be very useful!

    Best regards

    Goodbye ;)

    I formatted my laptop about a month ago and have already 15 blue screen errors, my memory is ok, I let my phone update of its self.

    Please help me, I'm thinking that it my motherboard, but I'm not an expert, when its not to crash it works very well, had a few other problems.

    Sorry, it's really long to read but I don't know what to do, thank you

    Hi Sarah,.

    I suggest formatting again and see what happens. You have also all updates installed (Vista SP1 if you are running Vista or XP SP3 if you're running XP?).

    Hope this helps

  • Satellite P100-160 refuses to connect to my router 3Com with WPA - PSK

    Help! My new laptop Toshiba refuses to connect to my router 3Com (f/w 2.06T13) model 3cWDR100A on WPA - PSK. The router only supports TKIP (no AES).

    The laptop, a Satellite P100-160 is under Vista Home Premium with the latest Intel 3945 11.5.0.32 driver and I tried the version of the site Web of Toshiba version mentioned in other threads (and a few other versions also).

    Either way, I don't like latest driver hit with content identical binary files and different date stamps or running of the anonymous installers that have not been digitally signed.

    The problem is that non-encrypted, or WEP works perfectly, but WPA - PSK is not. It fails with a diagnostic message 'timeout for secondary keys. The thing will be very occasionally connect to the network without a timeout (before I tried to improve things with the last pilot about 1 in 20 attempts after a reboot, now it comes rather from 1 to 100). If I can be sure that the password is correct. When it connects everything is fine and stable with excellent signal until the first suspended and then the connection is lost. It's more than a little irritating.

    I see several topics of doom similar networks to Vista support groups. They all seem to hinge around WPA - PSK TKIP and WiFi Intel chipset x 945 in combination with certain models of router. Please can anyone help solve this mess?

    I've seen other threads of networking in Vista by users with this specific Intel chipset and my router model having exactly the same problem and so far nobody has found a solution. I checked the basics of knowledge (MS & 3Com) and tried a few plausible fixes, but nothing helped. I'm out of ideas.

    It seems a little absurd to demote network security to make the latest PC works correctly. Dumping Vista (however tempting) is not an option.

    Thanks for any suggestions or diagnostics.

    Kind regards
    Martin Brown

    Hello Martin

    As you can see this is not Toshiba specific stuff and if there is no 'global solution' I don't really know what Toshiba should do about it. As you all know it should support hardware and software (driver), but if not I don't really see a solution for this.
    Who should offer a solution? Toshiba or Intel?  :|

  • Satellite P100-160 - several PCI bus do not work with a shadow video BIOS

    Hello

    I got my Satellite P100-160 for about five years now and have never had any problems like this before.
    A few weeks ago my system did not (or something like that), so I pressed the power down button to turn it off.
    Then, as he was put on, he seemed to freeze on the loading page and so I held the off button again.

    The present results are when I turn it on, I get a screen telling me several bus PCI etc do not work and he says 'video occult BIOS.
    I then have the option to press F1 to resume or F2 to enter setup.

    In addition, one of my USB slots has completely stopped working and my card slot has also stopped working.
    Can someone help me please? I'm on Windows XP, SP2.

    See you soon,.
    Liam

    Hello

    I think that you need to access the BIOS (press F2 when the laptop starts up) and put its default value.
    Then try to start the Vista again and press F8.
    Then you will get a menu of advanced start it you should choose repair computer.
    Vista supports a clean internal repair option, you should try this and must repair the operating system.

    If this will not help and you still want to not be able to start a view, then a system recovery may be the best option for you

  • Satellite P100-160 BT icon appears in the Control Panel, but no BT

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not.

    * Reasons I thought that I had BT: *.
    I thought originally I had, because in 'Control Panel', it has a Bluetooth icon, which when I press on it opens the "Bluetooth devices". I also use WiFi I thought a sign that BT has been installed and working. I also notice that in Services' there is that something called 'Toshiba Bluetooth Service' running.

    * Reasons I think that now I don't have BT: *.
    However, when I press Control Panel > Bluetooth devices > Bluetooth settings, nothing happens. It's as if the button is dead. And when I try to 'Add a BT device', he finds not all devices. In addition, there is no BT listed in Device Manager.

    .....

    Overall, I am very confused! I bought yesterday wireless speakers after seeing the BT icon in Control Panel (I had read that if this icon was there, I got BT), but having struggled for hours trying to get BT to work yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I don't have BT at all!

    Could someone explain what it means the Bluetooth icon in the control panel? Why is there if I don't have BT? Or, the icon means I have BT but am doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance! Very frustrated!

    David.

    > Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not

    Satellite P100-160 was NOT equipped with Bluetooth module.
    But maybe the battery BT software has been installed and is why the BT icon is visible in the control panel.

  • Satellite P100-160 - screen Vertical burst

    Satellite P100-160 my son has developed a fault on the screen that no one seems able to identify the cause of.

    If you imagine that the screen is divided into six equal vertical columns about 3 inches wide, the third vibrates from top down so that the image is blurry. Sometimes it stops after an hour - but recently it just keeps going. The other "columns" are very good. What is the screen itself (easily replaceable), or the video card (on the motherboard) or another component such as the inverter?
    For now I'm not sure if scrap it and buy a new one or replace the screen.

    Any ideas?

    Hey,.

    I think that the best way to address this issue must connect to an external monitor to your laptop. If you notice the same problem on external monitor the problem is related to the graphics card itself. If the display is faulty and must be replaced.

    Then connect an external monitor and check what's happening!
