Satellite P300-1 year - backward and forward compatibility

Hi all

fisrt of all thanks in advance to anyone who could help me.

I had some problems with my Satellite P300-1 year, which comes with Vista Home premium, I think that for some 'bad' something SW installation becomes to be 'unstable' (i.e. help guide disappeared and also search folder no longer works, other things more "spots"...).

So, since vista is not my favorite one (start too long), I intend to advance towards the back (Win XP, which I already drive), or (windows 7, I need to buy).
So here's the question: is compatible P300-1 year (I want to say is there every driver available for) under Windows XP or Windows 7.

Latest: is it possible to upgrade directly WITHOUT doing a CLEAN install (to avoid the backup or re - install SW) from vista to 7 (and if yes which: home, pro, ultimate?).

Thanks again
BRs

Hello

You can use both: Win XP and Win 7.
But I prefer Win 7 because it is the most recent Windows system and the best.
In addition, Win 7 will build more Win XP and all new applications are designed for Win 7.

  • Satellite P300-1 year - Touchpad problem with AC adapter / CC

    I have a laptop Satellite P300-1 year and from the beginning (two weeks)
    I have a touchpad problem: it will not immediately responsive and the pointer shakes when pressing the key. Very often, it freezes for only one or two seconds.

    It's VERY annoying. A USB mouse works perfectly.
    I tried to reinstall the drivers of the ALPS, tried Synaptics ones, just try Windows Vista drivers: no way.

    Now, I found the reason: this question is present only when the laptop is powered by the AC adapter / CC.
    With the battery, the touchpad is perfect.

    I contacted Toshiba Service and thay said that they do not change the AC adapter if I don't mean before a full system restore!
    Is it not more simple just try with a new adapter and then only, if the problem persists, try more drastic procedures?

    Anyone had this same problem?

    The point is that your laptop should be always verified using the Toshiba factory setting.
    Why? Because the ASP wants to make sure that this issue is not related to a software problem (compatibility problems with applications 3rd part). Software problems are not covered by the warranty.

    In addition the ASP will always recover the laptop before the verification of the pieces of equipment to malfunction. Therefore, you should always back up your data from the HARD disk until you send the laptop to check.

    I recommend you to reinstall the operating system using the Toshiba recover disc and then check if the problem appears.
    If yes you can contact ASP and could provide all the necessary details for only one technician.

  • Satellite P300-161: alarm low and criticism not fire

    Hello.

    I just bought a Satellite P300-161 with Vista and every time alarm if there is only a pop-up notification at the low or critical level, you but no sound alarm. I checked the settings under "advanced power management" and "battery" and both have the value default to 'ON' for low and critical battery alarm.

    I also made sure there is a noise linked to these events under 'Hardware and sound', 'System sounds' and "low battery alarm" and a criticism.

    The default sounds are really sweet so I registered and chosen my sensors clean up but still no luck.

    I did a search on google and apparently several people had the same problem. In addition to suggest to both look like the above parameters, some have said that it is a general problem with Vista that will be fixed with service pack 1. I already service Pack1 so that does not solve it.

    The other thing that I found via google is that apparently Vista doesn't offer it through the message system, but makes it available for 3rd party software. It seems ridiculous that Toshiba withdrew its usefulness because of power management especially in Vista.

    I wouldn't mind an alarm from the BIOS, but looking at the settings, I couldn't find all the options. I can only note a pop up and if I play music or something, I have completely run out and the computer into hibernation which is really annoying.

    I would be grateful if anyone has any suggetions on how to solve the problem.

    Alfonso.

    Open the Volume mixer and make sure that Windows sound option is not set to mute.

  • Satellite P300-1CN - blurry video and damage

    Hello

    I just got my new P300-1CN with Vista installed. but I am disappointed by the quality of the vacuum with large screen 17.

    When I play live TV to say tvunetworks.com for example, picture is blurry and I see the shadow, and it is not strong, have difficulty viewing the video clearly. I checked the game DVD image stored on my external hard drive install Divx player and it is same... picture quality is dull. I played the same video on my previous laptop (from making another 3.5 years age), and it is clear and bright. And by the way I used to watch livetv for the same site on my laptop from a different manufacture and it is perfectly clear.

    I don't know what the problem is, I tried changing color, refresh rate settings and all. But no use.

    Can anyone help to understand what is the problem and how to fix it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi mate

    Have you noticed the same photo quality game diferent from the movie files (avi, mpeg, mov, etc.) or is this problem occurs only with a standard?

    Are the jpeg, gif, etc. of the fuzzy and dull files?

    To be honest, I don't know why this happens with movies, but you can check the settings in the ATI Catalyst Control Center.
    There are some parameters that can be modified in order to ensure the best performance of the laptop or best picture.

    Try to put all the quality.
    You may notice some improvements

  • MS Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. When I test of arrow to scroll/bounce backwards and forwards

    I have a MS Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. For a while it was fantastic, but now, everytime I try the / arrow scrolling through columns of docs, images or e-mail items moved with the cursor (on the side or on the bottom) begins to bounce back and forward and points of view moving vertically (or left and right uncontrollable.) To increase the frustration, sometimes things work normally for a short period before the fun begins. When I change to a basic mouse (USB) there are no more problems! : O Tony

    Most often when a device does not work, it's because the driver has been corrupted.

    Try reinstalling your.

  • Satellite P300 question, shuts down and does not restart intermittently.

    My wifes p300 presents a very confusing and annoying problem. She is now on her 3rd replacement the last two having the same problem.

    I just turned off intermittently for no reason, a few times, it will restart but sometimes he used. So if I remove the battery and plug in the power that it restarts again however it then turns off again and do not restart unless the battery is returned. I think it may be a problem with the battery and the power cable as she said that the problem will only get worse if the computer will run on battery power for a while.

    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem or had any suggestions as to what could be the problem.

    Bill has soon

    Hello Bill and please describe your opinion on this subject. Reading your first post I ve also thought it should be overheating issue, but after this second announcement, I imagine that the food may be responsible for this turn off suddenly question.

    Please post the results of the investigation. It can be really interesting to know what the problem is here.

  • Re: Satellite P300-156 - grainy display and vertical lines on it

    Hello

    whenever I have 1st start of the machine, the screen looks grainy and with 1 green line vertically down the right side of the LCD screen.

    When Vista is finished startup (with my white screen), there are a lot of pink coluring on the icon, when I press "start" and it displays programs, etc., the abckground is all pink! Also the web cam settings/opener popup displays the same.

    To get rid off this, I restarted the machine and everything if fine. It is the only way to rectify.

    Last week, I tried again to look into the problem...

    I changed the LCD, drive hard (updated to 320 GB) and updated the BIOS with the latest version of this site. Now it wil has always do the same thing, but after 30 seconds (or almost) it is automatically sorts.

    I really think this sort want someone at - it ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    Maybe the BIOS update solved the problem. ;)
    Anyway watch carefully what happens in the future.

  • Jump backwards and forwards without answer to question

    Questions that I get sometimes; when im using the button back on reading control without answering a question and return back to the question, it won't allow me to answer the question (get a message, "You have not answered this question". There are some users who need to play back and forth. Is it a bugs or some set up I have to do?

    Personally I have even shut down the PlayBar totally during the transition to the first slide of the Question. This can easily be done by assigning the value 0 (zero) for the cpCmndShowPlaybar system variable when entering the first question slide (does not exist in the Action on the list of slides to enter) and eventually turn after the slide of score or the last slide in the question.

    Be sure to not remove the back button, but cut the movement back in Quiz preferences and agree to have the rear buttons automatically deleted. Because if you remove them manually on the slides, they could reappear magically...

  • Satellite P300 - stuttering with new BIOS and drivers for sound card

    I have Toshiba laptop Satellite P300 (PSPCCE) with Vista and the latest patches installed.
    Everything was working ok until I installed the last set of patches, has been the Tempro alert about them. I installed the new BIOS (3.40) and card drivers his (Conexant 4.83.1.0) and now all the minutes I see spike high CPU spike freezing enemy of system one or two seconds.

    I see in Process Explorer these spikes are caused by the system and that usually means drivers.
    Anyone else noticed something similar since the last update?

    BTW. There are 2 audio drivers to download site, 4.36.10.0 the 25.05.2009. but the file is named 20081201122001 sounds. ZIP and 4.83.1.0 as of the 07.05.2009. named sound - 20090507143928.zip but with a date more recent AI apparently from 2008.

    > btw. There are 2 audio drivers to download site, 4.36.10.0 the 25.05.2009. but the file is named 20081201122001 sounds. ZIP and 4.83.1.0 as of the 07.05.2009. named sound - 20090507143928.zip but with a date more recent AI apparently from 2008.
    I think that you should use the most recent version and it s a v4.83.1.0. It seems that the v4.36.10.0 was published also, but in this case, it s always recommended to take a newer version.

    With regard to the system of freezing for a second or two:
    I think that this might be related to some background processes. Perhaps a process that runs in the context of the Vista operating system causes this tiny interruptions.

    Of my knowledge tool Tempro runs in the background and scans the system and HARD drive.
    You can check the processes in MSCONFIG and if necessary may disable some of the trials.

  • Satellite P300 - 156 Windows 7 Crash problem

    Hello
    I have the Toshiba Satellite P300 - 156 PSPC4E, model and I've had this laptop for a couple of years now.
    Before installing windows 7, I got the default Windows Vista installed and it worked fine.
    Now since installing windows 7, no matter WHAT game I try and play just causes the cell to go black screen and turn off after about 5-10 minutes of play.
    I thought that this was due to an overheating problem... so I opened the laptop and cleaned all that and then put it back together again.
    (YES I checked all the wires are back where they should be and all the components are working properly)
    It did not work.
    Then I tried updating all my drivers and software ect.
    Still nothing.
    I searched on through pages and pages of search results for the same problems with Windows 7 and the game crashing... but nobody seems to know how to fix it.
    I thought it was just windows 7, but I re installed windows vista and it's always done the same thing on there now.
    I tried to install all the drivers of the model for this laptop toshibas site and not luck.
    My windows vista and windows 7 are two authentic copies.

    All the hardware is functioning normally (as far as im aware) and I really don't see what can cause this problem.

    If someone could give me some advice on what to do it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Which driver you use display? I m P300 owner but not on my A300, I had a similar problem that the laptop has crashed during a game. It seems that the reason was a 3rd party driver or let's say the driver of the manufacturing of the graphics chip directly. I think that because they are not prétestées on the cell and causing overheating

    So I recommend you to install the latest driver of display on the Toshiba site.

    Finally and above all what version of Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit), you have installed and what version of BIOS?
    From Toshiba Web site also shows the new BIOS versions and several versions 32 bit and 64 bit OS. Maybe you have to day/edit, who knows?

    Hello

    what you man exactly when you say that the right button does not work? What do you do with it?

    Do you mean the external mouse or button of the laptop?

    You can reinstall the mouse driver. Search for the driver on the site of Toshiba for touchpad drivers or the manufacturer s Web site form the external mouse.

  • Satellite P300 connected via HDMI receiver Onkyo 607 - no sound

    Hello

    I have the Satellite P300 1BB for awhile and I'm very happy with it. But now I have a problem with the P300 HDMI port. I connected with my Onkyo TX - SR 607 5.1 receiver HDMI. The image is there, but there is no sound. If I connect the P300 directly to my plasma tv, then there's sound through HDMI.

    I have updated the Conexant audio driver to version 4.83.1.0. The Panel mixer, audio, the audio driver for AMD HDMI Conexant is not connected when I use the 607. It is connected (and works perfectly) if I use the plasma tv.

    Is it possible to get this working?

    Hello abdoulraak

    Please don't be crazy about me, but how you write that you have problems with port HDMI on Satellite P300 when working with TV. I think you have problem with your receiver Onkyo 607.
    All of these updates will be not useful at all and you should check s manual Onkyo to see how it works and what kind of parameters that you can use the receiver itself.

    You have activated a right channel of the receiver? I have big receiver Technics and all the ports on the back will be used with a separate channel that needs to be enabled.

    See receiver manuals and collect information how it works exactly.

    Hello

    Believe me, it is really not easy to say what is happening with this laptop. as a first step, you can try to start Notepad using F8 and enter safe mode.

    If these will be works, start System Restore utility and attempt to restore the operating system on time earlier. Perhaps one day before all this began. I hope that you will be able to use it again as before.

    If this isn't the case, please let us know.
