  Hello

  It will be interesting to know if this happens with all data media you use.

  In my opinion you must first locate the source of this problem. Check if your DVD - RAM drive works correctly using different CD, DVD and DVD - RAM of course. If Yes, in this case it is a problem specific, based on the game CD.

• Satellite Pro M10 - infrared does not work properly

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro M10 and my infrared does not work. I downloaded the zip file with the drivers from this site. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it always happens in the Device Manager under "unknown - SMC IrCC - Fast Port infrared (IR Module: HP). (with an exclamation point). When I look at the properties it says under device status:

  This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

  Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

  However, under Driver Details is said:
  C:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\smcirda.sys

  I extracted the zip file in my home directory of c:\downloads\infrared.
  whatever I do, it does not now. It worked when I bought it, but I have too many things on the system for a new installation. Which brings me to another question. Is it possible to re - install windows without losing all your data, etc.? I did it with other systems (95,98) Windows. But it seems that the Toshiba recovery disc means any wiping.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  If your HARD disk contains two partitions and you have saved the data on a second you can reinstall the operating system on the first partition using recovery DVDs.

• Satellite Pro L300 - sound is not working properly

  Hi all!

  Last week, I bought my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300.
  I have had no operating system with the laptop, but I had my own XP, so I changed the SATA drives in compatibility mode and installed windows XP Pro.
  (By the way this is a Vista laptop officially)
  I installed all the drivers, but I have a problem with the sound. It has a bad quality, but this isn't the biggest problem.
  If I start listening to music, the sound stops every 3-4 seconds for a fraction of a second. It's as if the processor worked (like the computer was loading, and the processor is a bit overloaded) I usually have this experience if I run many programs simultaneously on my old computer, it slows down and the music stops for a second. But on the new laptop, I run winamp, I have dp nothing but listen to the music, and I get this problem.

  Can anyone help? Is it because of XP? Or the driver does not work properly? Or I have a big problem and should go back to the store?
  Please write!

  Hello

  Did you notice HARD drive activity when this happens?
  Maybe some anti-virus works in the background.

  Maybe you can order original Toshiba recovery DVD for your laptop model. Check it out under the https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Using WXP only? I ask this question because I believe that you can only get to this Vista laptop.

• Satellite L775 - mouse pad does not work properly

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L775. I run Win 7 Home Premium. My mouse pad does not work properly. I also have a Logitech Anywhere MX wireless mouse. I tried the mouse pad to work properly with the key FN and F9, but it does not work. And you really have no idea if that turns or out of the mousepad anyway, subj for another time I guess.

  What does not work, but I have to do is to go to Control Panel then mouse option load that and just scroll the tabs without changing what each time and then close and the touch pad works. But only for this session. If I have my laptop nearby, or turn it off, I have to start throughout the whole process.

  What's past and how to fix this?

  Thank you very much.

  > What's past and how to fix this?

  > My mouse pad is not working properly
  How to understand this? What does not work properly? What happen exactly when you start your laptop?

  Hello

  The FN keys are controlled by the Support of Flash memory card utility.
  Try restarting the software. You can find it in all programs-> Toshiba-> Flash Cards.

  If that doesn't work, try reinstalling this application.

• Satellite M40-110: WLan is not working properly after sleep mode

  Hello, I have a M40-110. I have some problems with my wireless adapter. After I closed the screen (bed) and the computer goes into sleep mode, I open the computer screen becomes active, but this time the wireless adapter is not working properly and I can't connect to Internet with my wireless adapter. Sometimes, it seems that the wireless adapter has established a connection, but I can't send and receive data from the Internet. Sometimes after this case, the wireless adapter becomes invalid.

  My Service offered to enable the bios wake-up-on-lan option. After doing this, the Internet worked properly.
  But I am wary about this option:

  (1) not allowing this option cause draining my battery quickly?
  (2) this option doesn't make that hides my hardware failure (wireless card) and it is really necessary to solve this problem?

  Thank you
  Sinan.

  Cool, thanks for the info

• Satellite L500D - integrated webcam does not work properly

  Hello world

  I have a L500D (I got it for about 2 months now) and yesterday I realized that my webcam did not work properly even if it worked just fine a couple of days.

  Here's the problem: when I turn it on (via Skype or through application of camera web toshiba), the colors are reversed: it's exactly like I had added an effect on the image as 'Posterize' or 'threshold '. Everything is bright, grainy, saturated...

  I tried in low light and high, and the night mode is not on.
  I couldn't solve the problem with the webcam settings, but regardless, I, can not do anywhere near a normal image.

  I spent a lot of time surfing the web but couldn't find a solution (or someone with a similar problem, in fact). I have windows 7 64 bit.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. I run my laptop with a lot of care, which makes even more beat when something goes wrong... Thanks in advance!

• Satellite L50D-B - TouchPad does not work properly

  My TouchPad is not working properly, it stops working after a few seconds after the start. Can someone help me?

• Satellite P20-404: WLAN is not working

  I wanted to use the adapter wireless network for the first time after a defekt disc and a reinstall. It worked before, but I did not reinstall WLAN right here. Now I don't know how to install it. There is no entry in the network connections that could be my wireless network adapter.

  There should be a built-in Atheros adapter.
  I activated the WLAN-> no light beside the symbol WLAN;
  I FnF8 Switched-> nothing happens, I don't see any unknown hardware in the hardware list.

  Are there opportunities that I don't have a hardware problem?

  Hello

  Are you sure that the WLan worked, before your changed the HARD drive and installed the operating system again?
  I found information that the WLan is optional on Satellite P20-404.
  So I think that some units have been delivered with the wireless network card and others did not.

  It of very strange that the WLan card is not recognized in Device Manager. Usually, if the WLan driver is not installed on the operating system for the wireless network card must be shown as an unknown device.

  I think in your case it s something wrong with the wireless network card or WLan card is not installed.

• Satellite M40: USB Audio does not work properly in ACPI mode

  Hi all
  I just bought a laptop Satellite M40 whose purpose is to be used as a portable audio system.
  For this, the USB audio devices are an excellent solution.

  Unfortunately, although it was working properly when recording (sound is perfect with all devices compatible USB Audio, I have tested), there is a problem in reading that I had a lot of clicks and POPs.

  After a lot of research trying and google, I solved the problem by changing the computer ACPI PC Standard mode.
  This is a workaround.

  But this way, I don't remember what my status of battery, and my laptop does not shut down automatically.
  Actually, my laptop is no longer run as a laptop :(

  I suspect a very serious problem in a Toshiba components management. In particular, I wouldn't be surprised to be told that freeze the cords of some regular system of court management, and therefore the 10ms buffers audio USB fall in against the recess.

  This would be so much bother me if I were not part of the technical support team of the company that launches also a few new audio USB products who will not fail to work correctly with laptops.

  My question is:
  Is there a driver / updating bios that gets rid of this problem?
  If a person of Toshiba technical support to address this issue directly with me, I'd be happy to help, as I am personally and professionally concerned.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I put t know what USB audio device you use, but most of the USB audio devices cannot use the USB power. These devices have need of an external power supply of A.C and especially this external power supplies are delivered with the USB audio device.

  Also, I read on some sites that the pop occurs sometimes due to non synchronicity of the modules different buffers or / and of the use of certain applications in parallel.

  The computer ACPI PC Standard mode change is one of the many solutions and proposals
  You can check some patches from Microsoft. Check if all updates from Microsoft are installed.
  Also change the performance options in the options of the system to adjust for best performance.
  Disable Windows messenger.
  Virtual memory should be set to custom size and initial size and maximum size must has the same value (ie. 512/512)
  In the system.ini should the vcache is also the same: MinFileCache = 16384, MaxFileCache = 16384
  Disable the peripherals such as scanner, printer.

  As you can see, these issues could occur on all computers (desktop and laptop) and it s is not a problem of Toshiba. Also, contact the manufacturer for support external audio device and detailed information.

  Good luck

• Satellite S50T-A - Bluetooth is not working properly

  Why the Bluetooth does not work in laptops Toshiba Satellite S50t-A?
  It sends data, but does not receive any! and says still 'not connected' to paired devices.

  Hey mimo

  After reading your ad, I tested BT with my S50 - B Satellite and I noticed the same situation.

  The first thing I did was check software BT. Originally was pre-installed Intel Bluetooth Filter Driver Package 3.0.1342.02 version. I ve removed from the system and installed Intel version 17.0.1428.01.

  After doing this paired phone has successfully connected and logged status was there.

  I tested send and receive files, and it works without a problem.
  When you want to send files from your laptop to the mobile phone, for example, click with the right button of the mouse on the file saved on your laptop and choose send to > Bluetooth device.

  In the case where you wish to receive the file from the mobile phone to the laptop, click with the right button of the mouse on the BT symbol in the taskbar and select receive a file. After that make you will see the transfer of BT file on the screen window. Select the file on your mobile phone and send it using BT connection. On the screen you will see download or transfer process. When finished just browse in the right place and you will find files all transferred there.

  An interesting thing is that, after some time my cell phone is listed as not connected (to manage Bluetooth devices), but everything works fine.

  Please test and send feedback.

• Satellite P20 PSP26C - touchpad does not work

  Hello...

  My touchpad P20 went down all of a sudden. I've tried everything. Fn + F9 key does not work when I try it will stop the computer.

  I reinstalled the driver several times. I've had enough, so I work with a USB mouse.

  Anyone know how I can retrieve my touchpad. (ALPS)

  Thank you

  Hello

  Eventually he s a hardware malfunction?

  But before that we will offer you a defect of the touchpad, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD delivered to check if this problem could be linked to the software error!

  Usually after installing the recovery CD the laptop will be put back to the factory settings and the whole system should work fine.
  But if this doesn't help then the material could be really defective and a replacement is necessary!

  So check that out!

• Re: Satellite C660 - speed regulator did not work properly.

  Hello!
  I have a new satellite Toshiba C660-1WT
  Product PSC1LE-01Y01ERU code
  With Core i3 - 2310M processor
  With the operating system Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 preinstalled
  BIOS ver 1.00 13/18/2001 (based on Toshiba HWSetup)

  Cooling fan runs at high speed, with a very loud noise.
  I tried to change "Toshiba Power Saver Settings V8.9.4.64" "Battery optimized" in 'advanced power settings', but that didn't help.
  This option works only in a sense - to increase the speed of the fan, but never to decrease.
  When I turn this option to 'Maximum performance' and then again to "Battery optimized" fan going at low speed, but only for the first hight CPU load operation then fan starts runs at high speed and never switch down.

  Can you help me to reduce the noise of the fan on the CPU is inactive automatically?

  Post edited by: KirillN

  If it does not work for you there is nothing you can do about it. Cooling fan is controlled by sensors on the motherboard.

  Try to reduce activity and closing some additional applications that make the CPU/GPU busy. Be as safe as the computer s laptop cooling grilles are not blocked somehow. It is very important to make them free.
  On my old L300 fan was too strong but the method of cooling option helped a little.

  You can also contact the nearest provider of Toshiba in Russia and ask for some advice.
