• Satellite P300-212 - system causes the periodic high CPU load

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium (OEM) on the Toshiba Satellite P300-212

  Even on a system Windows freshly installed (from recovery DVDs), the system process (PID 4, NT Kernel & System) causes on a regular basis (every five minutes) a CPU load high for a few seconds, during which the system hangs, not even the mouse pointer can be moved.
  Sysinternals Process Explorer identifies the thread of high load as "ntkrnlpa.exe! ExfTryAcquirePushLockShared + 0 x 15 2 "with the thread ID 20 or 24.

  Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior or a solution to the problem?

  Hey,.

  If you have installed Windows recovery disk Toshiba but still high CPU usage? Hmm that's strange because this image is tested by Toshiba

  Have you installed or uninstalled any software or tools?
  I uninstall the current antivirus and disable some start up programs you n t need in msconfig. Usually, this should work.

• Satellite P300 with XP hangs at the screen "starting windows."

  I recently bought the Satellite P300 - 01 and had XP installed on it. I have fixed all the problems except for the question, that I'm going to start.

  When I turn on the laptop it loads everything flashes on the login screen and then hangs at 'starting windows' screen If I turn it off and then again about three times this issue finally arrives with the login screen. There was an ASP.NET account, and after the BIOS update that he disappeared, but the problem is still there? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  > There was an ASP.NET account, and he disappeared after the update of the BIOS
  The whole story is really strange

  I put t know how you installed XP on this laptop and why an ASP.NET account was created or exist, but in your case I would recommend doing so again.
  Then install all service packs, hotfixes and patches of the XP!

  Simply show words on XP on P300.
  A friend of mine has installed XP on a P300 yesterday too and the XP works well
  Everything works fine!

• Satellite P300-135 system issues using two HARD drives

  About a month ago I bought a faster hard drive for my laptop (because it wasn't hard drive 5400 RPM by default), and computer technicians to the store where I bought my laptop has recommended a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 250410.

  The first couple of days everything went smooth, but after that, every second, restart my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) reports of problems with my video card, sometimes 'Windows cannot initialize the device of this hardware driver. (Code 37) ", the other time"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. " (Code 43) ", and when this error occurs, the keyboard and the keyboard do not work too.
  I made a simple and primitive diagnosis by deleting the second hard drive and rebooted 5 or 6 times, and everything went very well.

  So I think the problem is that the laptop has not enough power for two hard disks. Is it true, or is my phone begins to fail?

  Sorry for my mistakes of language, but English is my second language.

  Hello

  Usually the second HDD should not affect the performance of the system, but it of impossible
  So maybe you should test the specifications and performance of OS using another HARD drive maybe a HARD disk that takes in charge of 5400 RPM

• Cannot start from the CD in my Satellite P300-23F

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix the old laptop from my brother. It's a Toshiba satellite p300-23f. The laptop did not work well, so he bought another. I think he might have a problem with the HARD drive, but I'm not sure about this and want to try to format the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

  When I start from the disc HARD I have no problem, insiders of OS normally, and I can 'use' laptop. The problem is when I try to boot from the OS CD. I get this message "Media test failure, check cable". I know the CD works, because recently I have instaled the operating system with this CD on another computer. I know that the CD player (not sure if it is called like this, but I think you understand what I mean) also works very well, because I tried different CD and it worked.

  I've tried pressing F12 and boot from CD it and also tried to change the BIOS and put the CD in the first place, but it does not work.

  No idea what's going on? Is it possible to make it work?

  Stand by.
  When Windows is completely loaded, you can use the optical disk drive and it reads all CDs and DVDs?

• Install Windows 8 on Satellite P300

  As usual rushed in and installed Windows 8 on satellite P300. What error - slow, loss of functionality. How to get back to Vista was preinstalled or is there a way I can fix it to run windows 8.
  Processor Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU [email protected] 2.4 GHz, 4.00 (2.99 usable) GB RAM 32-bit system, x 64-based processor.

  Satellite P300 is plu laptop comes with Vista, but also supported for Win7. Unfortunately, it is not supported for Win8 so, in my opinion, there is no sense to install Win8 on it.

  Win7 works perfectly on this machine so if possible use Win7 on it. in case you want to use original Vista, you must install recovery using recovery DVD image. This way only to s to have factory settings once again.

  The question is: do you have the recovery disk?

• Satellite P300 - Drive necessary explanations

  Hello

  Just trying to understand what is on my records. I have Satellite P300-150 with 500 GB. It has 4 partitions (I think) with a hidden.

  C: drive is (Vista 117 GB capacity) however its filled up quite quickly so I started saving drive D (232 GB of local disk capacity) which had nothing about it. There is no drive E (but under Advanced System properties, I found a labeled disc WINRE... is this drive E?) Then walk F (data capacity 113 gb with 5 GB used) it's enigmatic whats me... If the mysterious E Drive is the WINRE so what are data on the F drive?

  Why have I not 4 discs? The reason I ask, this is drive C is high filling... so I do the right thing to save on drive D instead?

  When the D drive is full does that mean I can't use Drive F because there are 5 GB of mysterious data out there?

  When I bought the laptop with 500 GB... I thought there would be a drive with Vista and one for all my things. Instead I have not the slightest idea what drives to use and not use.

  On a separate issue... the Fn cards flash not working properly I have to start their manually whenever I want to show them on the screen. I used to be able to connect the laptop to TV, and then click HDMI icon and the output on the TV screen. Now I have to restart flash cards before you plug into TV or HDMI out icon does not work. I tried to disable at startup flash cards and then by restarting, but they still won't turn on automatically.

  LED power button fix

  Toshiba
  Satellite P300-h-13

  By Thom
  Wijtenburg

  First of all, I would like to
  say you that I came up with this correction, after a clean reinstall of the
  Vista. (I used the serial number of windows on the bottom of my laptop for)
  install, so it's the same license as the OEM of windows and therefore
  Tout_a_fait legal.) After the clean install and installation of all the
  the drivers listed on the site of toshiba LED power button (also
  known as the mute button) and the CDDVD butten (mediaplayer button)
  stopped working. After browsing around forums toshiba I found
  this case, I removed the support button utility that the mute button has acted as
  a mute button. Also the mediaplayer button worked fine. Reinstalled
  the utility support for the button and they have stopped working. After many
  toshiba calls (I think about 5-6 in one day) they opened a
  support ticket for me, because they (team support callcenter)
  could not find a solution. Following their advice, I did the
  next to try to make it work:

  * Don't have a system restore with the restore DVD.
  * Do you have an another clean install.
  * Install the drivers in various ways (alphabetically reversed by alphabetical order and order of collection DVD).
  * update my BIOS.
  * downloaded a 'new' version of value added package (which was the same thing I already had).
  * installed the VAP with and without technical support button utility, no changes.
  After doing everything
  This, they said that they did not know the cause of my problem (at the beginning
  they thought it was hardware related). They came with a possible
  anwer:

  "It is."
  possible that we removed some features of windows vista
  operating system so that our one utility for device drivers
  work. In addition, we do support the configuration, that we delivered
  When you bought the laptop. »

  Now of course, I have
  understand that. I waited allmost a week, no response. Neither
  by electronic mail, or by phone, so I decided to google more
  on the problem.

  After a certain
  some research on Toshiba forum and Googling I came across
  a thread that sayd I must first install the utility 'control '.
  and the button press. Unfortunately what it did not work.

  Then, all of a sudden
  Windows displays a message saying that I should install the TOSHIBA.
  "ACPI-based value-added general use and logical device driver.
  I clicked on the provided download link, and the VFR package was a newer version
  version of the support page for my laptop which is held. So I downloaded
  This PPV version 1.17 and installed it. After a reboot, the buttons
  still did not work. But at least I got the file HWSetup.exe, where I
  could turn the LED off. Look into the button holder utility, I have
  saw that there where buttons like "Toshiba Assist" which my
  the laptop model is not.

  Navigation
  through the toshiba forum I found a file named ButtonSettings.ini, in
  which I can manually configure special keys. After a google
  search on the name of the file, I found that all the buttons list
  in a registry key. I saw the "Dimmer" file using the button
  folder and clicked on it. Poof... lights went out. Click again,
  Poof... lights turn it back on. So I replaced the wrong button definitions
  with CDDVD and dimmer values. Saved my changes but is not a restart.
  Opens the support button utility and change the path of
  MediaPlayer (who was always there to a previous definition) to
  Dimmer.exe. checked to see if the button CDDVD pointed
  MediaPlayer and restarted. When everything has been started, I pushed on the
  button again and presto... MUTE lights off. Pushed again, poof...
  lights. Pressed the mediaplayer button and started to mediaplyer. I have
  has been very happy when everything worked.
  Now that you
  know the story, here's the fix.

  * Difficulty: *.
  * Download and install the new VAP from here: [http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_tvap_26084A.exe]
  * Choose Edit in the installation and make sure that everything is checked
  * do NOT restart after the installation.
  * Download the ini fix and the fixed registry
  * Uncompress its contents into your working folder.
  * Copy the ini into C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TBS (where C: is the drive of program files)
  * In this same folder, start the exe called TBSbtnSt.exe
  * do NOT restart, click on 'no' in the dialog box.
  * Double click on the registry key, and then click 'Yes' to add to the registry
  * Then open the button support utility by clicking Start-> Toshiba-> utilities-> Toshiba assist. Help go to optimilization and click support button tohiba
  * If the path or the description is disabled, fix, and then click Save. See also if the CD/DVD mediaplayer points.
  * Restart you computer now.
  * If everything is is well past your special buttons should work.

  * WARNING: *.

  It worked for
  me, with my Toshiba Satellite P300-h-13, edition windows Home premium 32-bit.
  It should work on any model of 6 buttons with the mediaplayer and the mute
  buttons. I am in no way responsible for any damage that may arise
  If the fix does not work correctly. There is absolutely no. GARUENTEE
  It will work for you. If the answer is Yes, he does, and if it's not it
  doesn't work.
