• Re: Satellite P500-12F - cannot install the new nVidia display driver

  Good evening

  I'm sorry for stupid question, but I don't know what to do. I have the Satellite P500-12F.

  I tried to download the new graphics drivers for the NVidia card, I went to the site of NVidia and downloaded a new driver, which dates back to December 2009, instead of mine, which is July 2009, however, when I try to install it, the system indicates that Joana does no hardware that is compatible with the new driver.

  Could you tell me, what am I doing wrong? I could use any guidance as well. Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Why you try to use the nVidia display driver? These drivers are not pre-tested on the laptop and installation is at your own risk! In the worst case, you could destroy the graphics chip.

  As Akuma written already using the latest drivers Toshiba because they are pre-tested.

  Why you want to update the display driver? You are not satisfied?
  Remember: never change a running system! ;)

• Satellite P500-12F - Question about installing the drivers

  Have recently bought a new P500 Satellite 12F and I am very happy with it. This PC came only came on the market on 29 Oct. I decided this pilot site updates, bios, etc. and was surprised to find a few tens of individuals in the list.

  When I rang Toshiba support he told me don't bother to install as there may be a danger and if if its ok market don't bother!

  I would like a second opinion please.

  Satellite P500 is newer model comes with the latest drivers, tools and utilities for Toshiba laptop.
  It turns out that the Toshiba doesn't offer updates every month and, in my opinion, you don't need any update to date.

  I guess that your series of satellites well and without some serious software problems. So, touch of an operating system and be happy with your new toy.

• Re: Editing on Satellite P500-12F .mts files

  Hi, I have a question about the change. MTS files:

  My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P500-12F / Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz / RAM: 4 GB HD: 500 GB / BD - RE DL / 18.4 "/ Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit /"

  And I use Corel video studio pro X 3 to edit my SD videos and I was very happy with it until I tried to use the software to edit HD videos very short 2-4 minutes long that I got from a friend to test it before buying my HD camcorder.

  These videos are played on the laptop without problem using WMP or video studio pro x 3 in the preview window, the problem starts when I add another track of overlay to make modifications or any title or effects on the overlay track as I used to do with SD videos.

  If I do any sort of editing and try to see the changes in the preview window, the image moves very slowly, vibrates and the sound is broken, it seems that I'm editing a 24 hours of work not 2-4 minutes. clips.

  So I do not understand where is the lie of the problem, what is the spec of the laptop? What codecs do I need to install? Or the settings that I need to do?

  bye the way, if I decide to save the changes I made for the video it is so annoying to check during the preview/editing process, the final file plays great without problems and in HD quality.

  I wonder if someone can help me.

  Thank you

  Hello, Armelle

  Please don't get me wrong, but I do not understand the relationship between issue described and Toshiba laptop.
  Don't you think that it is the related issue of Toshiba or you should speak with the support of software manufacturer?

  This application can be installed on your laptop as part of the recovery image, but I don't think that Toshiba is responsible if you have a problem with a software feature.

• Satellite P500 PSPG8A - no HDD Recovery area

  Can open recovery media creator, but it is empty.
  The recovery of HARD drive in Device Manager is there and 1.46 g in recovery and said all healthy ideas...?

  Of course the Toshiba recovery partition is not available more and that's why Toshiba recovery disc creator software can not find essential files to create the recovery disks...

  Hello Wayne

  In front of me, I have Satellite P500 and I use it almost 10 months now without a single update. What I'm updating are important updates from Microsoft. More than that and so far I didn't notice a single hardware or software problem.
  After reading your ad m a little confused.

  As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer any DVD for that laptop, not any kind of pilot DVD so please be so kind and tell me which DVD driver is and who has created and offered this DVD.

  original is Win7 64 bit OS (original image of recovery Toshiba) preinstalled on this P500?

• Satellite P35-S609 - new HDD not accepted

  Hello

  I am trying to install Windows XP (toshiba recovery CD) on a new hard drive Samsung HM160HC (160GB) on a Satellite P35-S609 but once the CD format the HD and copy all the files on the hard drive (to start installing XP) laptop does not boot from the hard drive, someone has an idea?

  Obviously, the drive has no flaws, perhaps the bios V1.4 takes not more than 100 GB HD or I don't know if this is the limitation of Windows XP, the thing is he isn't still trying to start the start of HD - anyone have any idea?

  my email:
  [email protected]

  Hey Buddy,

  Your new HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?
  You can install Windows on another drive?

  Satellite P35 has old IDE interface and generally it s limited to 128GB HDD (> 120 GB). If the HARD disk is not recognized you use a 120 GB HARD drive only.

• Satellite PRO A10 new HDD partition with 80 GB HARD drive

  I've recently updated the original 30 GB HARD drive for a 80 GB HARD drive. I used the recovery CD and all is well.

  The old laptop is now as good as new again.

  I notice that rather than having a c: drive of 80 GB, recovery utility has given me 3 partitions in about 25 GB each (c: d:, and e :).) They were originally FAT32 although I changed it to NTFS.

  My question is can I remove e: and d: partitions and then increase the size of the c: up to the maximum size possible (approx. 75 GB)? I know that windows xp can handle, but I don't know if the BIOS can or even why 3 partitions have been created in the first place.

  Post edited by: dim33

  To be honest I m really surprised that there are 3 partitions after the recovery procedure. I got many old books as your A10 and newer seen this.
  In any case go to disk management and try to create partitions on the way you want it to be.

  In my opinion you should have the C partition with 25 or 30 GB and the second 50 GB partition for the data record. Don t use a partition only. If something does not go the whole partition must be deleted and you will lose all of your stored data. It is always better to have the second partition for data backup.

  In the worst case (you cannot start OS), you can install Windows XP Home edition on the first partition, boot OS and have full access to all stored data.

• Re: Satellite L30 - 134 new HDD

  Any SATA2 HARD drive would work with the Satellite L30-134?

  Initially, it has a 60GB HDD inside Toshiba MK6034GSX

  Thank you

  Hello

  Theoretically, every SATA2 HARD disk should work. This interface is compatible downgrade to the old interface SATA1 and so I see no reason why it should not work.

  But SATA2 interface will not bring a performance gain. Hard drives 2.5 normal Don t have such a level of high transfer.

• Satellite P500-12F - mouse trackpad not working not

  Hi all

  I just bought a P500 opportunity and the touch pad does not work, I tried to market through f9 FN keys but nothing will work even the left and right mouse buttons, I would like to ask if there is something else I can try or if not what kind of costs are involved to fix it please also where would I get a backlit KB and it would work on this model? When I type some time missing a letter as if I'm not hitting the keys hard enough, but I think I am lol...

  Any help really appreciated, thank you very much.

  Sincerely, Wayne...

  Hi CT1965,

  The touchpad does appear in Device Manager correctly and did you test if other FN keys work correctly?
  What operating system is currently installed?

  There are different reasons why the touchpad does not work, but first of all I recommend reinstalling the driver for the touchpad itself. You can download it from the official European driver Toshiba download page.

  Regarding the backlight keyboard: it s based on the motherboard if there is a second keyboard to the keyboard backlight connector. Normally, you can check this if you disassemble the laptop and remove the keyboard and take a look at the motherboard, but if you are not familiar with the disassembly of the laptop I would ask a maintainer approved assistance. :)

• Problem with my Satellite P500-12F HDMI

  When I plug the HDMI cable into the port on the computer, the system generates the message "Connected TV haven't is either not turned on, is in sleep state or does not support REGZA-LINK (HDMI Control)" my computer screen then empties and my desktop appears on television, whereas it should be on both screens. Also, the HDMI option disappeared from my PowerDVD program as well.

  I received a message from Tempro Download Manager control HDMI a few days ago that I did, but when I checked the updates, it tells me the last of them was 13/11/09 without reference to it the latter.

  I checked the cables and ports on the TV, I can't think what I can do.

  > When I plug the HDMI cable into the port on the computer, the system generates the message "connected TV haven't is either not turned on, is in sleep state or does not support REGZA-LINK (HDMI Control).
  But your TV is already turned on, right? Is also enabled on TV HDMI port?
  > My computer screen, and then empties and my desktop appears on television.
  This happens only? Can you use the FN + F5 key combination and select other options?
  > while it should be on the two screens
  Have you noticed such behavior in the past?
