Satellite P100-238: stuttering graphics and sound with the game

Hello

A few days ago, I bought a P100-238 both for business and holiday makers with leisure activities include mainly games, I thought this would be a great opportunity to take the next level and buy something powerful with Vista on board... IM starting to think ive made a big mistake. First impressions of the laptop were great (and vista although it is a little welfare State is very good).

The problems started when I installed a few games (Please take into account, it is a system of 4 GB with 2 gig of ram and a Geforce 7900 gs graphics card, it should theoretically be ideal). The first few games I tried was wonderful... If you stopped, but as soon as you moved (in the game) about every 3 seconds the games would stutter to stop, then start again... every 3 seconds. Okay, I need the drivers, so I jumped on nvidia and tried installing different drivers to see none to work with laptops. In fact whenever I tried to install I got the message that or the other driver is up-to-date or that I'm «not equipped for vista» Anyway to cut a long story short, I discovered www.laptopvideo2go.com when I discovered that Nvidia does not support drivers for laptops (even once cut a long and painful story short) so I used it recommended modded INF files as well as various pilots until the later. Unfortunately I still had the same problem, someone recommended it can become again the sound driver so I tried that no different.

After further investigation on various forums, it seems im not the only person who knows these probems. On these boards, I noticed that someone had the sound and graphics too jerky and sent it for repair to have the CPU, motherboard, ram etc replaced until they found the error on the HARD drive and once replacement he was fine.

Using this info and finally think I had put inside of it I took my laptop to the store and he was replacing, ultimately reinstalling everything and lift a game and running... guess what... still the same.
This is totally unacceptable.
How do you market a product as games and entertainment laptop when she's obviously serious faults preventing these activities.

Anyone here have the solution? Also, I should mention that this problem persists when the resolution and graphic details fell to a minimum in the game.

Thank you
Darren

It's not a hardware problem or a laptop, but Windows Vista!
Check out the other discussions in forum games on Vista performance with games!
Some people have installed XP and it s running like in a dream!

It seems that we have to wait for a first Microsoft Vista SP1 or certain patches.
Maybe then the Vista will be more compatible with all these games on the market!

  • Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

    I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

    I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

    Thank you

    Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
    In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

    I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

    Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

    Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.

    I just bought a P100-286, the VISTA OS and come with DVD and games stutter.
    I updated to the latest graphic driver on the Toshiba site, and made sure all the settings are set on the performance (although it seems to make no difference).
    I put this down to VISTA, but it is very annoying.
    Is anyone else having the same problem / found a solution?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    The problem was the Vista operating system. After installing XP, everything is fine!

  • Graphics and sound early are nervous on HP Pavilion

    Hey, first time posting here and hoping someone can help me with the questions I've had with my laptop. Here is the Basic for my laptop specifications:

    HP Pavilion dv6-3150us

    Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit Edition *.

    Intel Core i5 CPU 2.53 GHz M 460

    4 GB of RAM installed (2.43 GB usable)

    Intel HD Graphics

    Video memory up to 1696 MB

    TOSHIBA 500 GB hard drive *.

    Dolby Advanced Audio with Altec Lansing speakers

    At rest approximately 800 MB RAM usage

    * changed after the drive started failing, in other words not original hardware/software

    So I got my laptop nearly 3 years ago, things were pretty amazing with my laptop and it is honestly the best (and first and only) laptop that I'm away until now. In any case, after 1 year and 2 months, or so 650 GB hard originally started failing. Coincidentially the year 1 mandate had expired, so obviously the call center of HP did not help me at all. Ultimately I had to get a replacement from the hard drive and get my school technician to do the job of its installation and recovery of my information to recurring. Of course, by doing so the original laptop Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit OS drivers and all were lost in the old hard drive, so it has installed its own version of 32-bit in my laptop and did the best he could to download and recover drivers and functions of the laptop. Ultimately all this turned out pretty well with the exception that the wireless is not connect more (in any case it is not the real problem, I am here to ask questions on)

    Lately I had problems related mainly to the audio and sound. Everytime I play a video (either from a DVD, hard disk or streaming online) the video begins to become unstable and slower with the time that the video is almost completely stopped. This change in the video also affects the speed at which the laptop running, making it's slower and sometimes I have to either close the video program I use to avoid phone freeze completely.

    A similar thing happens whenever I'm playing games. The graphics in the game are slowed down gradually, and the sound is also affected by the whole process, makes them nervous and slower. This product even when I put the games in lower graphics levels there are (by the way, the games in question are GTA San Andreas, the Sims 3 and DC Universe Online) the problem got worse with time and appeared older 3 months back or almost. Also, it happens randomly. Moreover, indeed like laptop computers HP the more out there, mine has always had problems with ventilation and dust in the fans so it is usually very hot and I would not be surprised if it was any problem where the roots of.

    So far I have removed the unnecessary startup with the Task Manager process, scanned the laptop together with AVAST and Malwarebytes, removed programs that are unnecessary, / that I don't use, files cleaned and defraged the drive hard, has ran memory diagnostics, updated audio and video players, updated the BIOS and the problem still remains.

    My best guess would be that the sound cards and video begin to fail or, even worse, that the motherboard is the one to blame (or simply conflict pilot/codec), but I have tried so many different things and visited so many different forums that I don't really know what it is. I hope someone can help me with determine what is wrong and the steps to resolve this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your advice and sorry for the late reply. I tried your suggestion of analysis system for missing/conflicting drivers with the HP Wizard, but there was no change, that this is reading once I uninstalled and reinstalled video driver (which would have been the main reason for my question)

    In fact, I just got the HP Support help in Twitter, and in the end it turns out that my problem with unstable video is not software related, but it might be in fact that my laptop motherboard reached its peak (due to overheating and eternal ventilation). Thank you nevertheless for the help and advice to get the recovery disc for my computer (should have that before, but now at the end)

    Thank you very much!

  • Files and folders with the same name

    I am trying to unzip some files and folders and it works fine on my computer with Windows XP. However, when you use Windows Vista I can't because there are folders and files with the same name. After an internet search, it seems that the only suggestion is to extract the files in separate folders which then would allow them to keep the same name. The problem is I want what they in the same folder and they need to have the names they have.

    NOTE: I do have two files with the same name in the same folder, I have a folder and a file with the same name. I would have thought that this would be acceptable because they are two things separate, and given that it's great under XP.

    All solutions?

    You are right, if I make a file and a text file with the same name, it works fine. However, when I try to extract the files I need it tells me that there is already a file with the same name as the folder. He goes to tell me to choose a new name but my only options are 'try again', 'jump' or 'Cancel '.

    I think I can understand what the problem is. For some reason when you download the zip file, the computer seems to have added a few files side with any format other than "file." It is those who have the same name as the folders as if they were, and they could not be uncompressed because of this. I have no idea whence they came as they appear from nowhere (compared to my XP). I'm trying now unzip the files separately and exclude the strange s 'file '.

    Thanks for your help though!
