Satellite P200-13F slow with Vista installed

Wow, after 2 weeks of waiting we had the newest Satellite P200-13F... fantastic... Well, is more then a couple of months... then the problems started to irritate. At the same time, we moved to another country... great, but the laptop is still away from work properly...

In the computer store they told me laughingly that memory of 1 MB is really stupid. Everyone knows that Vista works well on 1 MB.

So pass it... Yes, of course, to the place where? hahaha, only 1 MB more... a joke... But, we must try something... I m still crying... it doesn t do anything better then before...
Today, Toshiba cares not less. I mean, they got the money and we have a laptop... or something that should work as it...
Any laptop with Vista a minimum 2 MB and an upgrade to 4 MB...

Logic that so many people complain about Vista. It will not work with 1 or 2 MB...

No, you paid for something, which is stupid. We have to pay again to let XP is installed. Is option... fantastic, thank you very much, Mr toshiba...

Is knowing how far I came up with this thing... This Toshiba... is there someone who knows how to fix this laptop, let me know...
Our satellite is the laptop slower I have ever seen...

Hello

I have a Satellite P200 and it s great running; with Vista and Windows XP.

First you misunderstood something; the laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB upwards and not to 2 MB ;) there is a big difference.

Secondly the Vista works well also with 2 GB of RAM.

I think you don t know much about computers because performance notebook doesn't depend only on the value of the RAM, but more CPU, GPU and Chipset installed!

I think that your suggestion on nits P200 means that Notepad starts slowly, etc.
In my opinion that you n t know that laptop computers are preinstalled with different applications that are run in the context of the OS and need material resources.

These background processes are created by the software that controls the functions of the laptop as FN key, command buttons, touchpad, Toshiba Flashcards, internal camera, etc... etc.

Also, the pre-installed Norton Antivirus can slow performance.
I used the Symantec Norton Antivirus too and was not satisfied with the performance and so I deleted and replaced by the free tool called Antivir.
My laptop is now faster and better managed, and better, I also used CCleaner to clean the operating system and the registry and removed unnecessary programs that slow down performance.

Then maybe you should do that too and you will see that your P200 is a lot faster than you think!

Have a boyfriend of the beautiful day :)

  • How to create a dual boot with Vista installed on my Satellite U400?

    Hello

    I just bought a U400 - 17 H with vista installed on the HARD drive. I would like to create a dual boot with XP Pro.

    I have only a drive HARD aleady with 2 partitions (1 for vista) + 1 for data.
    I want to cut the partition vista in two 2 pieces to install XP Pro.
    At the end I'll have 3 partitions 1 vista (65 MB), 1 xp (65 MB) and 1 data (125 MB).

    Is it easily to create a new partition ok (I guess only on vista)
    but is there a program dedicated to install another OS and create a dual boot.

    Please help me because I like many things the other way around. I'm sure it's possible, but what are the right process to have at the end of two BONES and the choice at the start of the laptop

    Thank you
    Gerard

    Hello!

    Create a new partition for Windows XP and install it. There is no problem.

    After that, you need to restore the Windows Vista boot loader. You can do this with EasyBCD. Install and start the program.
    Go to the tab "Add/Remove entries". You will see that there is only one option available in the bootloader of Vista at the moment. In the "Add an entry" section, replace the drive in the menu drop-down of C:\ E:\. Change Type "Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3" and the name of "Microsoft Windows XP". Then click on 'Add an entry' and 'save '.
    Then go to the "Manage Bootloader" tab make sure "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" is selected, then click on "write the MBR.

    Now you can restart the laptop and you should have a full system dual boot to work.

    Good bye

    You can install Win XP using this disc?

    Just a hint; the needs of P200 a installation of additional SATA drivers this means that the drivers SATA (places in the Intel Storage Manager) must be installed using a USB FDD drive or you could use a software free nLite that would allows allows you to create a new disk Win XP with SATA drivers.

  • How to partition Satellite A300 - 21 H with Vista?

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 - 21 H with Vista and dual you want to boot with ubuntu linux. At present, there are three partitions, recovery vista 1.5 GB, 150 GB C and 150 GB E (with recovery of HARD drive inside). My ubuntu, I would like to partitions / and / Home (about 150 GB). Should I delete the partition E? I have my recovery DVD's...

    What is the best approach, I think that linux is only 4 partitions.

    > Should I delete the partition E?
    If you created the recovery DVDs, you can remove HDDRecovery and use the second partition for Linux. When you want to install once again just use recovery media created Vista.

    If you change the structure of the partition, no doubt, you will not be able to use saved image in this folder.

  • Intel VT in the Bios of the Satellite P200-13F disabled?

    Hello

    I just bought a toshiba Satellite P200-13F and now I discover that the Vitrualization can be turned on in the BIOS.

    Can someone tell me if Toshiba plans to release a BIOS with this feature supported? I want to use the machine for virtualization with XEN.

    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Hi people,

    I think toshiba hasn´t integrated into the bios again. Maybe the option is available because the bios images are perhaps a chipset manufacturer, but they just didn t allowed them cause they did not apply all the routines of VT in the bios to handle VT-stuff of the Chipset/CPU.

    It's just a really wild theory on VT in computers laptop toshiba and I Don t know when they will do so and release a bios where you can activate it.

  • New driver for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed

    Hello

    There are new drivers for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed.

    Right now, it's Nvidia Video 169,25 version of the driver for Windows Vista.
    No blue screen after installing this driver, at all.
    I think that this new driver will solve the following problem:

    * Power failure screen after you have closed the lid on Vista *.

    You can try it, remembering that the installation must be handwritten. And you must choose the graphics card Nvidia Geforce 6600, during installation.

  • Re: Satellite P200-13F unbootable

    Dear Sir

    I have a Satellite P200-13F that no longer starts.

    When I push the Start button that drive hard blinks several times, the cpu fan turns for a few seconds and the dvd drive light stays on.

    Screen remains blank and that's it.

    Anyone who has had the same problem.

    Hello

    It looks like a hardware problem
    Have you tried using different RAM modules?

    I put t know how RM module are in your P200, but if there are two modules, then you can try to boot the machine using that one module

    A few months ago my girlfriend s notebook developed the similar question
    I ve replaced the RAM and Notepad starts again.

    But please don t understand me wrong. I put t say that this question is related to the faulty RAM memory, I think it could be a RAM, and if you want you could test it 100%.
    But in my opinion if you n t want to waste money for some RAM modules without knowing exactly what's wrong then you should ask a technician for laptop for a control.

    After these checks, you'd know what part is affected.

    Unfortunately, you cannot switch from Linux to windows operating system 7, but you can upgrade from Windows vista to Windows 7.

    Because you are unable to upgrade Linux, I suggest you perform a custom installation of Windows 7.

  • Satellite P200 - Win 7 x 64 install memory 4 GB (3 GB usable)

    Hello

    I update my Satellite P200 (PSPBGA-01W015) for Windows 7 x 64 but I had problem with memory, Windows said: installed memory 4 GB (3 GB usable).

    In the resource material say monitor reserved 1026MB

    When I check the properties of the graphics card, it is said: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 with dedicated 256MB of system memory 1279 MB memory shared, 1535 MB total graphics memory.

    I guess that the graphics card occupies only 1 GB of memory but it not there no option anywhere that I can adjust this shared memory (both in the configuration of the Bios and Windows).

    The only version of Bios I can find on the site of Toshiba Australia support for my model is "BIOS Version/Date TOSHIBA V1.70, 21/08/2007' which is in fact only supported Windows Vista.

    Not sure if I can find the similar to the Web from Toshiba Europe site Bios version? The last time when I upgraded my computer to Windows 7, support staff advised me to site of Europe as well, but the model similar to the differently named Euro market. Now I don't remember that match model Europe with my laptop model Australia.

    It seems the support Toshiba Australia not always been well updated Web site. :(

    Thanks a lot if someone have a solution for this. Would be appreciated.

    See you soon
    Anthony

    > I guess that the graphics card occupies only 1 GB of memory but it not there no option anywhere that I can adjust this shared memory (both in the configuration of the Bios and Windows).

    You are right. The part of the main memory is used by the graphics card, but you can not affect the part of the memory that this is manually controlled by the graphics driver.
    If the application being game needs a more graphics memory, the driver assigns this.

  • Satellite P200 1EE problems with playback HD video and USB ports

    I bought the laptop Satellite P200-1EE dixons for and I'm happy with it in many ways, but the main reason I bought the 1EE P200 was because of its potential to play and edit the video high defintion.

    I can't seem to play or watch video clips high definition without them being clumsy and with a frequency of images at 3 frames per second, and not the 30 frames per second, he must turn.

    The clips I'm playing are some MOV files record on my camera at 1280 by 720 resolution at 30 frames per second and the two Quictkime player and Realplayer they simply are not quite smooth. Given that the laptop has a DVD player high definition and a high-end graphics card ATI HD 2600 ispecifically intentional for high defintion watch a DVD high defintion to 2040 by 1080 I do not understand why he should fight with playback relatively low resolution video files.

    I would edit 720 video high definition and the speed of the processor, the speed of the bus, ram and graphics card should be enough for this high defintion video simple editing, so if he can not even play video high defintion, what chance does he have to edit video high defintion?

    After only 2 days of working completely fine Vista Vista completely crushed and the computer refused to restart. I had to use the recovery disk and completely wipe the hard drive. not a good introduction to vista which, apart from that, it was very slippery. After you have installed Office 2003 it works completely fine on Vista Home premium

    Does anyone have suggestions or solutions?

    Hi Daniel

    To be honest you message confuses me.
    The recorded movies (.mov files) are not format true high definition as in movies on HD DVD or Blue ray!

    I think you need to convert these files first in a format mpeg mov or avi format and then you can try to play with ordinary players like WMP, Real player, etc.

    Here are some useful tools;

    Converts mov to mpeg
    http://www.radgametools.com/binkhcon.htm

    Convert mov to avi
    http://www.JakeLudington.com/ask_jake/20051003_convert_mov_to_avi.html

    With regard to the question of the USB.
    Try to remove the USB port on the Device Manager and restart the laptop. After restarting again the USB ports should be recognized again and the USB driver should be updated.
    In most cases, this enables the USB flash drive.

  • Satellite P200 very slow

    We bought a laptop with Vista P200, which was according to the best salemen that he could offer.
    Now, after working with him for nearly six months, the laptop is slowly.

    It's as if we were working on a 286 pc. Man, what is this thing slow?
    He is constantly busy with nobody knows what. If he is not busy, it still operates as a turttle.

    We went back to the store and they asured we all going well.
    Well, we are close to crazy. We would like to ask for help with this problem.
    Someone an idea?

    Hi Frank

    I understand you very well. I have a laptop from a different manufacture with Intel Core Dual CPU, very good graphics card and 2 GB of RAM.

    After a few months and the installation of various applications, software Antivirus, firewall, etc. the system performance was just bad. Everything was slow I mean the laptop needed several minutes to load the system and the unique application performance was not satisfactory.

    My problem was that too many processes running in the context of the operating system. In addition, the whole registry was confused upward.
    I have removed several applications of the autostart folder and cleaned the registry by using a freeware program called CCleaner.

    Also, I deleted some programs that are not really necessary for me.
    Last but not Lea I ve defragment my HARD drive and my unique partitions.

    I have 3 partitions on the HARD disk. It of much better to have more sizes small partitions as a large size of HARD drive.

    I hope I could give some useful advice and how to increase the performance of your laptop.

    Best regards and good luck buddy
