    Hi all

    Is there a reverse this problem?
    My thoughs is that the image is corrupt.

    The error that you declare, is a fault with the Vista disk image cannot be applied to the hard drive.

    Which you used 2 recovery discs of different product, which would indicate that there is not support for product recovery but a defective hard drive, possibly bad sectors on the hard disk.

    If the laptop is in it duration of warranty, then give Toshiba a call for the book on deposit for a repair of the equipment.

  • Satellite P200-144 - lost profile user & Running very, very slowly

    Hi, please excuse my explaniation below, but I'm not very technical interest and need help?

    I have a Satellite P200-144 curries in Sep 07 was bought for my college courses. I listened to a CD of night via windows media player. CD proceeded to freeze and then I got an error message something in the sense of "windows media player database corrupted", then the machine stops. When it restarts itself, my user profile and associated parameters have disappeared (as well as my documents, music, photsos etc.). Once the machine booted, I log in under my usual profile, but he told me that my profile would not load correctly and I've been signed by using a temporary profile? In addition, the machine seems to have trouble doing anything at any great speed; each individual operation is taking an absolute age... to open the internet browser is as slow as dial-up almopst and I am supposed to have high-speed broadband! The machine makes a quiet rattling noise that was not previously; someone suggested maybe it's my hard drive?

    On the advice of the internet and others, I tried the following:
    Creating a new user and copy my user data-error message back sying this did not succeed.
    Twp machine restoring previous dates separated - "error unidentified" who did not do so.

    Please help... anyone?

    > The machine makes a quiet rattling noise that was not previously. someone suggested maybe it's my hard drive?
    Hmm, HARD drive failure is possible... maybe some bad sectors in the partition or HARD drive, however, this is only speculation and a new installation of operating system from the recovery CD would be necessary and advisable to ensure that this is not a HARD drive problem.

    Of course you should backup you files and important data because this procedure would format the HARD drive.

    I know it's a radical procedure, but it is necessary to make sure if the problem is hardware or software associates.

    Good luck and best regards

  • Satellite P200-144: Touchpad works does not after Microsoft Windows Update

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P200-144 and since I installed a new Synaptics driver provided for me through Windows Update the touchpad did not work.

    I tried to roll back the driver, re - install a new installation of a driver Alps (as suggested by a messsage on board), but this has no effect. I tried to revert to a previous state of the system, but this fails to happen.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium that came with the noteboos when I bought a few months ago. I also went in the settings in the control panel and none of the settings work - help!

    Someone has it has happen to them, or does anyone know of a fix for this?

    Kind regards

    Chris

    Hello

    a quick and efficient solution would be to backup your data on an external (DVD, USB - HDD, etc.) to recover your machine and then to AVOID such Windows updates, as this driver IS not native drivers from the manufacturer. Just install the drivers supplied by toshiba, since they act on your machine.

    Unfortunately I have Don t have another solution for you, then it would be best to try this method and give a quick answer if it worked.

  • Graphics went on my Satellite P200-144

    Hi guys

    ran cod modern warfare 3 on xp64, and it crashed. Rebooted but graphics were gone, I get a vertical striped screen, looks like that iv, e fried the chip.
    Tried to reinstall drivers, also in safe mode. Tried to format and reinstall but no go.

    I can't the graphic chip (nvidia 7600 go) replaced?
    Also tried via TV, same striped screen.

    In this case, entire motherboard must be replaced. Satellite P200 is old laptop model and, in my opinion, you should check out eBay to see if you can buy it already used mainboard or the same model with faulty display or something similar, so you can use the motherboard.

  • Question about a Satellite P200-13z graphics card upgrade

    Can I upgrade the graphics card on my Satellite P200-13z? What are my different options and the corresponding prices?

    Hello

    These issues have been several times here in the Toshiba forum and there is only one answer.
    It s not possible to update the graphics card on any laptops!

    The GPU is mostly welded and mounted on the motherboard and it of impossible to remove it!

    You ask for options? Well, I read on maps external graphics for laptops, but in my opinion, this isn't a real option and don t think that the performance of this graphics card would be much better that your graphics card internal laptop P200

  • Satellite P200-144 second screen projector flickers

    Hey all

    I bought my new Toshiba P200-144 just so I can use DJ software.
    The problem is when I plug in the projector via a VGA cable and use it as a second screen. As soon as I put the projector as a second screen, this screen will be flashing all the time? even if I put the laptop in 1024 x 768 screen, the screen will be teetering in 1440 res? NVidia will come out a new driver?

    Can someone help me please and is there any way to get rid of him flickers?

    Thank you

    Jay

    What do you mean exactly?
    Don't resolution screen automatically switches always the 1440 x? resolution or display quality is bad?

    Hmmm. I don't know if it is a possible graphic driver problem m it s a projector wrong setting? You connect the external monitor (not a projector) to check the second screen quality?

    Have you checked the different nVidia settings? You should do it.

  • Satellite P200-1ED - wireless issue

    Hey guys,.

    I hope that I write in the right forum!

    I had my * Satellite P200-1ED * for a while now and he used to work on the internet very well.

    However these last weeks I tried to sort, because it is quite frustrating not being able to go on the internet on my laptop!

    ---
    My network is encrypted WEP and SSID is set to broadcast, however I can't connect to it.

    I've updated the drivers of the * Atheros ARG5007EG * at the latest and I still cannot get lucky.

    It seems that the other networks appear sometimes to connect with the exception of my own. * HOWEVER * I have two other laptops (both on Windows XP) which connect perfectly to the network anywhere in the House and in the garden, so it's not a network range deliver - I even tried sitting right next to the router with this laptop!

    Please could someone give me some advice, I tried my best to solve myself, but I'm out of ideas.

    Responds very well appreciated.

    Hello

    I think it's a question of wireless settings. I suggest you remove the card from the Device Manager and all the fittings 'network connections '.

    Then, install the card and create a new wireless connection and RECHECK your settings / wireless password, SSID, IP, etc...
    The last resort would be to recover the machine in order to exclude all software related issues.

    What kind of router do you have? Have you already tried to reset all the settings of the router and on your machine and disabling WEP encryption to make sure that the machine connects in its basic configuration to the router?

  • Satellite M70-144: graphic hardware bug

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite m70-144, December 2005. Very nice computer, but there is an error with the ATI Radeon X 700 graphics card. Pixels are placed in random places with random on the same screen of _avant_ operating system is loaded.

    I called the shop here in Norway, and they told me that there is a bug of material on the ATI card, and it must be changed. So I returned the computer to the repair shop, and they have changed the card and installed it. It was okay when I got it, but now it's back to where he was. Pixels of error are randomly placed on the screen.
    Here is a screenshot of what happends: http://topland.frac.dk/test.jpg

    Before that the ATI card has changed, the computer crashed at random. Windows reported an error with the dll ATI drivers.
    NOTE: even once, this is not a fault of sofwate. defects in pixels are shown _avant_ the operating system loads.

    What should I do now? The graphics card is changed, and there is always a mistake.

    Do anyone else here have the problem?
    I want a new Toshiba Satellite M70-144 :'(

    Hi Jostein,

    Your laptop is still covered by the warranty, so I return it to your nearest Service agent for them to fix it again.

    As you say, the problem is not related to the operating system, so there must be a malfunction of the graphics card itself.

    Good luck

  • Touchpad and bluetooth mouse on the Satellite P200-144 sensitivity

    I have a P200-144, with the Synaptics touchpad.
    I have also a Toshiba bluetooth mouse (the little mini one, useful for travel, don't know the model number).

    The problem is the difference in sensitivity between these two: for the touchpad, I need the speed of the pointer to about 80-90% in the mouse control panel in Windows (Vista Home Premium); the bluetooth mouse, to be down by about 20%.

    This allows using these two devices the boring time even if we need to adjust the sensitivity If you switch between them (which, given that they are both Toshiba devices, would have thought you they would consider the synergy).

    Is anyway to control the sensitivity per unit?

    Hello

    AFAIK, you can configure the touchpad and mouse settings independent of each other.

    The touchpad should be configured as:
    * Control Panel-> mouse-> device-> settings settings *.

    There you can choose the single options you want to change.

  • Satellite P200 - 144 FN keys do not work

    Hello

    I have a dual-boot configuration, and I came across a problem. I have XP and Vista installed, and the FN keys do not work under XP. I had a look at the manual and it said something about Fn-Esse. Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Thank you
    Neo-Tech

    If I m not mistaken the P200-144 belongs to the series PSPBGE and European Toshiba driver page doesn t provided no details on the FN-Esse driver or something like that

    As far as I know the Hotkey Utility driver must be installed to control and use the FN keys.
    Also note that the driver installation procedure is very important.
    If you install drivers or utilities in the wrong order and then some features could not work as should.

    On the European driver page, you should find a txt file called installation instructions.
    Follow this order, and install as mentioned it.

  • Satellite P200-144 never stop correctly using Vista Ultimate

    Recently made a regeneration of my P200-144. Used with Vists Home recovery disk. Then upgraded to Vista Ultimate. After it was sold went to the web site of toshiba for the latest drivers and decided to update the bios.

    To restart the laptop is it never shutdown properly. Left with no other choice it off (left by logging out of the screen).

    Now computer laptop won't do anything. Is it possible to get the bios to boot / restore or do I need to reach a support centre.

    Hmm, looks a little more that the BIOS update failed?  :|
    Usually, in such situation the ASP help is necessary.

    But before contact you the ASP and will be sent to this device on the balance I would recommend removing the battery and disconnect the laptop power adapter.
    Then wait about 20 min, then reconnect both sides and try to start the laptop.

    If you won't be successful then the help of ASP is required

    Good luck
