• Satellite P200-1EE - Vista stuck on the homepage

  Hello

  * My Satellite P200-1EE is stuck on the progress bar Windows Vista since yesterday morning * and I'm unable to contact my office.

  I tried several solutions using the F8 key at startup.

  1 / safe mode

  2 / startup repair. "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically.

  3 / the system restore. "No restore point.

  4 / windows complete PC Restore. "No restore point.

  5 / Windows memory diagnostic tool. It is said that there is no problem of memory.

  So I am only left with the options of 'Restore the full Windows operating system' and the 'command prompt '.

  But I'm not too sure of the latter option. That's where I need your advice.

  * If I go for complete Windows restore, the entire hard drive fade or just the partition where I have windows (for example, "C:")? * I have several years of family photos on another partition (D or E) that I would not lose enough.

  Obviously, * I do not lose data or software on C:, but not personal stuff D or E.*
  Could you advise me on the best option?

  Thank you

  Paul

  > If I go for complete Windows restore, the entire hard drive fade or just the partition where I have windows (for example, "C:")? I have several years of family photos on another partition (D or E) that I would not lose enough.

  Depends on the disc that you would use if you want to use the Toshiba recovery disc, then the whole HARD disk would be formatted, including all partitions on the HARD drive.
  If you want to use the disk in Microsoft Windows Vista, you can choose which partition has been formatted and where the Vista must be installed.

  > Clearly, I do not lose data or software on C:, but not personal stuff on D or E.
  > Could you advise me on the best option?

  If you n t want to lose the data stored on the D partition and if you don t have a disc of Microsoft Vista, install the OS of Visa then I would recommend, remove the laptop HARD drive. Then plug the 2.5 SATA HDD with a USB-SATA controller then this HARD drive to another computer.
  Usually, you should be able to access the D partition and would be able to move all the data to another computer.

• Satellite Pro M70 freezes everytime when the USB port is used

  Satellite Pro M70 (SPM76) crashes every time when the USB port is used.
  The mouse works, but external HD/Extarnal card sound/Memory stick causing the laptop to freeze. All the drivers are installed right, they are the most recent and have no trouble with other users.

  The devices are all compatible. Service pack 2 is installed, and all the hardware drivers on the toshiba have been updated... again, same problem.
  The toshiba is about 2 months old and have had this problem since I got it. First I thought it was the drvers, but I cleared of all (?) other options but the USB ports.

  Hello

  Believe me, that's not easy to say what the problem may be. It is important to see if the problem occurs because of hardware or software may be. I recommend you to backup all your data and reinstall the unit using rescue media. On this way the unit will be factory settings and will be clean preinstalled. Test your USB devices and see what happens.

  Try to use some standard like USB stick or external HARD disk parts, because in this case, you must not install any drivers please. If you use other devices like USB webcam with own software and drivers, it is possible that something goes wrong, but what. On this path, it is not possible to say.

  Help me please!
  friend Wendy

  Hello Wendy

  Please don't get me wrong, but it's not easy to understand the problem that is described in your ad.

  At the same time, I can use flash cards.

  What about strange noises? Who knows what you mean exactly and how us need to understand that?
  If please be so kind and explain exactly what you do and what kind of sounds you can hear.

• Satellite Pro A120 cannot start when the printer is connected

  Hi I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 but I'm having a very strange problem.

  I installed my printer - Epson Stylus Photo R300, but now the laptop will not start if the printer is on. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen comes ok, then the Windows XP screen comes with the black background when the blue bar to cross to load Windows but its all disappear and the laptop just hangs and will not!

  However, if you turn the printer off and turn the laptop it starts up fine!

  Its really the printer which is the cause as its only when I turned it on.

  It's never caused this problem with my old PC using Windows XP too.

  Any help with a resolution would be greatly appreicated.

  Thank you

  Adam.

  How to disconnect the printer during the boot process? ;)

• Satellite Z830-10J battery discharge when the system is shut down

  My new Toshiba Satellite Z830 10J ultrabook with Win7 64 bit. all updates, works fine and shows no anomaly, there is however a strange exception.

  When the battery is completely charded and I 'pull the plug', the system runs on the battery for sometimes more than 5 hours, so I guess that the cycle of the battery is ok.

  When the battery is now fully charged again and I SHUT down the system and not using it for a few days.
  Then the battery is completely DISCHARGED to 0%, and the system does not start, until I plug.

  This phenomenon occurs in less than a week. So: loading of the batrery 100%, turn the system off, pull the plug, want to re - use the system after 7 days, yields 0% battery charge.

  Is there a specific reason for this?

  Greetings

  Roland Schweiger

  > It appears that one of the BIOS settings (disabling the sleep_and_charge or disable WOL) solved the problem

  Great! Thanks for the comments!

• Satellite A100-033: disable touchpad when the USB mouse is conencted

  I have a Toshiba Satellite running Vista Home Basic.
  Recently, I had a catastrophic failure of the Windows and had to install it from scratch.

  Before the failure, I had found a few (well hidden) setting that invalidates the touchpad automatically whenever an external USB mouse was connected.
  To the left it works whenever the mouse is disconnected.

  Can someone help me? (He had nothing to do with the Synaptics driver, which does not allow this.)

  Hello

  I can activated and disable this feature in my dashboard-> mouse settings

  In the mouse settings, I choose the device settings tab, and then I can check the option called disable pointing device internal when the eternal USB pointing device is attached.

• Satellite P200 - 14 H - problem with the software after reinstalling Vista whindows

  I have a Satellite P200 - 14 H, who bought systems Activ of Romania. I got a Toshiba DVD with an image pre-configured Windows and my driver's license windows vista Home premium. After several blue screens windows crashed after 5 days. It was a software problem. I am a network administrator and I need several virtual machines Linux vmware server Windows.

  The DVD provided with the laptop is not really suited to my needs to reinstall windows because it throws my entire hard drive and is not an option. I took a friend a DVD windows vista Home premium and using my key from the sticker on the back of my laptop I reinstalled win without deleting all of the hard drive but only the partition c. I downloaded all the drivers of your site even if I found them really hard (model PSPB6E because that model PSPB6E I don't find it anywhere) everything is good except that "Flash Cards Support Utility" and «» Hardware Setup' give me the following error: "serial number is invalid '. I don't know what to do to be able to use the function keys I knew which are installed by 'Flash Cards Support utility'.

  If it is not good that I did give me another solution that does not need to wipe entire HARD drive, but only the C drive and use the DVD that you have provided or give me access to some place to be able to download all the drivers and software that can be found on the original DVD (those above and to burn DVD and Norton internet security center and so on)

  Thank you very much and please be so kind to give me a solution quickly because I really need this computer and I am unable to use it.

  Hi Adrian

  I'll try to clarify a few things;
  First the drivers for Satellite P200 - 14 H PSPB6E series are placed on the page of Toshiba Europe and it of really not difficult to find.
  Secondly the Vista serial key, which is located on the bottom of the unit cannot be used with another copy of Vista OS! This will not work!

  You have installed the operating system Vista from the CD to friends, but you used a serial key that does not match with the Vista on CD to friends! As a result, you get the message error "serial number is invalid!"
  The utility of Flash cards is required to use the keys FN under Win Vista. It visually shows the use of the FN button.

  I would recommend another way of installation
  First, you must use the DCD from Toshiba recovery. Back up your data first!
  Then after installing the OS, create a new partition and install your favorite OS (Linux, XP, etc.)

  If you n t to use the Toshiba recovery but CD the original Microsoft CD Vista then you need to use the original series OS key that belongs to the MS Vista CD.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro has - can not control the brightness level

  I can't control the brightness level of the screen of my laptop! When I opened (Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options control) I can't find!

  Hello

  Usually, you can change the brightness of the display by using the FN + F6/F7 key combination.

  It works for you?

• Satellite P200 - failed to connect to the Windows Services

  After starting Windows Vista on my Satellite P200, I received a message: failed to connect to any Windows Services.The event notification system file are not available.
  Use restricted to the mode of administration.

  No network supports either (wifi, Ethernet,...). At least I can use the PC in batch mode!
  Unable to retrieve a previous saved file system.

  I need to restore my Toshiba restore disk Win Vista?

  Do you offer a lighter solution?

  It's strange, but what you mean with batch mode?
  You can start in safe mode?

  I think the best way is to reinstall Windows with the recovery disk. It only takes a few minutes and then you have the new installation of Windows with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  Toshiba has changed the motherboard a few days ago, but the problem persists. Update BIOS. My laptop is the only one affected

  Thank you in advance,
  Maurizio.

  Hey Buddy,

  > Toshiba has changed the motherboard a few days ago, but the problem persists
  So have you contacted already technicians again? You must tell them that the problem is still not resolved and it must be another reason for this problem. Then get in touch with technicians again to clarify this issue.

  Have you connected external devices while laptop is turned off?
  -Online if yes remove each of them.

  Load default settings in the BIOS?
  -Online if it is not this. Enter in the BIOS, and then press the F9 key to load defaults.

  Otherwise, it would be time to service as I have already written. It must be a nuisance material

• Satellite L10-187 wakes up when the lid is closed

  I got this Toshiba Satellite L10-187 for a few years now, and since I bought it I had problems with it to wake up even if the lid is closed.
  Suspended or hibernation is not serious, he always wakes.

  More annoying is when I have it in my backpack and I noticed that the battery has been drained, when I want to use the computer.

  Is this a known issue?

  Hello

  L10 is old enough laptop model and if you noticed from the first day, I wonder why you waited so long time and didn't search for solution before. In any case, enter the BIOS settings and disable Wake up on LAN option. As far as I know wake up the system can also be result of active Windows update Service. Disable it.

  Please disable both options and report us what happens now.

  I can't say much on battery. Just a question: is the battery just when the laptop is in sleep/hibernation mode or this will happen even if the laptop is turned OFF?

• Satellite Pro U400 freezes sometimes when the power cord is plugged

  Hello! I know that this problem has been addressed here and there, but I'd like to open a new thread about it. Here's the scenario.

  I recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-247 (PSU45E) with two batteries: (a) the original, (b) in addition purchased authentic of Toshiba PA3636U-1BRL, 7200 mAh. The laptop has the latest BIOS (4.80) and the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba and installed (ConfigFree is not installed). I use XP Pro SP3 (own installation by myself). Everything works fine, except for one thing:

  Sometimes (but), when the laptop is running on battery power and I plug in the power cord, everything hangs and I have to restart. A few observations:

  It tends to occur more frequently when the low battery alarm has rung;
  (b) it seems to happen more frequently with the 7200 mAh battery and less frequently with the original battery.
  (c) it seems to happen most often when a USB device (mouse, for example) has been linked to the laptop, but it is not a rule;
  (d) it seems to happen less often when I move the mouse USB at the time wherever I am connect the power cord.
  (e) I've experimented a lot with Toshiba PowerSaver settings (for example to change the levels of CPU for my profile) but nothing I changed seems to change the situation.
  (f) I tried different suggestions I found on various forums, but nothing works (for example the BIOS settings);
  (g) otherwise, I can say that I have not really seen a smoother computer, everything works really fine, no other problem :)

  Everything that makes me think it must be some sort of bug in the drivers of motherboard driver PowerSaver or other drivers interact with battery, CPU or possibly USB. Y at - it an explanation to this problem and can it be rectified in some way (for example, by providing a driver update)?

  Hello

  First of all, I never heard a driver from the motherboard.
  There is a drive chipset or a graphics card driver. There is no such thing as a driver of the motherboard!

  Look, man. laptop should work fine even the AC adapter is connected or not connected
  If the laptop freezes while there might be a software problem, but in my opinion it could be hardware problem
  You must reinstall the operating system if the laptop would freeze always the issue might be related to hardware

  First of all the memory modules and AC adapter must be verified.
  If the problem persists even using new modules and AC adapter, motherboard may be affected.
