  It says here on the Web site of toshiba all machines toshiba purchased in June 2009 to January 31, 2009 can have a free upgrade to windows 7, is this correct? Because I ordered my Satellite P500 and it is said that the model I purchased is not included for the upgrade. Can anyone confirm who is who?

  I hope I could get the free update. Thank you.

• Very bad performance in windows 8

  Hello

  I just moved from windows 7 to windows 8 and in extremely poor performance.
  Windows 7 my system is very fast and responsive. I7 2600 k, 8 GB Ram and 2 x GTX480 in SLI so much grunt but runs windows 8 so slow that my computer is useless limit.
  Hangs regularly just for no reason and it is very annoying, especially after spending $50 for Win7. It is also a clean installation of full format for win8 should work at its best.
  Any help would be appreciated. If this is the way, does anyone know if I can get my money back.
  Thank you

  Hi KmxRz,

  What is the brand and model of your PC?

  Thank you!

  Mine is a customized version, but it seems that my problem is solved.
  My pc just prompted me to update with keyboard and microsoft mouse drivers (I thought they would be generic as part of windows I use microsoft keyboard and mouse) and the problem seems to have disappeared.
  Looks like the keyboard and mouse drivers were win8 go nuts I think that maybe it's true, it seems that every time I hit the tab key to move between fields.
  I hope that this is the solution.
  Thank you

• Satellite P500 - freezing when inactive, the his and other questions

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P500 (bought in January) with Windows 7 and I've always had and some problems with it since I bought it:

  -First of all, my serial number is not for the toshiba Web site, which is annoying when I want to update my drivers. In addition, automatic detection does not work. And when AI attempt to manually select the model, the only available is the "P500-1GN' (I'm sure that my model is just"P500").

  -Second, sometimes, when I don't touch my computer for a few minutes/hours, it freezes and I can't do anything on this subject, I just reboot it. Sometimes, I take just the mouse, the cursor still moves but I can't click on anything and 5 seconds later, the cursor hangs also. Another time, I was chatting on Skype (voice chat) without touch to the computer and when I will come back, the seams of frozen screen, I couldn't do anything with the keyboard or the mouse, but I could still chat with Skype.

  -Thirdly, I also have some problems of sound. When I listen to music and do nothing on the computer, no problem. But if I do something (like go on inernet, copiing files, etc...), I have some very annoying noise interference. I try with the speakers and headphones, it's the same thing.

  -Fourth, less annying, then the others. When I type a text on the keyboard, somethings, the cursor from writing just go somewhere random in the text (it happens twice while I was typing this message...).

  I tried to do a factory restore. Also, I have a version update of Avast, Spybot and Comodo Firewall, but I can not find the cause of these problems. I am wandering if I should ask for a replacement or something...

  So... can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
  Oh and sorry for my bad English.

  LOL: D didn't you notice that the Toshiba driver page contains the series of laptop and has no lists the unique laptop models?
  Satellite P500-1GN is a part of the series PSPGSE call with P500 PSPGSE

  > Second, sometimes, when I don't touch my computer for a few minutes/hours, it freezes and I can't do anything on this subject, I just reboot it.

  This may be related to different issues; problem in the system, memory problem, etc. graphics driver problem
  However, check the advice posted by Akuma; try disabling the USB selective suspension tuning"in the Advanced Power Options

  > Thirdly, I also have some problems of sound. When I listen to music and do nothing on the computer, no problem. But if I do something (like go on inernet, copiing files, etc...), I have some very annoying noise interference. I try with the speakers and headphones, it's the same thing.

  Update the audio driver is worth a try

  > Fourth, less annying, then the others. When I type a text on the keyboard, somethings, the cursor from writing just go somewhere random in the text (it happens twice while I was typing this message...).

  I had the same problem with the cursor, but it wasn't a really a problem. This is the reason why the cursor jumped around I touchpad the touchpad accidentally while typing.

• Satellite P500 (PSPE8A-01R002) - number pad and num lock does not

  Number pad and num lock on my P500 PSPE8A-01R002 does not work after the upgrade to Windows 7.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Hi AndrewF,

  Have you noticed the same problem on a preinstalled OS from Toshiba?
  As far as I know Satellite P500 are always delivered with Windows 7 OS provided with your P500?

  Anyway, in your case I would try updating the BIOS. You can get the latest version on the Toshiba site.

• Installation of Windows 7 64 bit on a Satellite P500

  I bought the above system in August last year with 32-bit Windows 7 installed. I understand that it is not possible to upgrade and to a complete new installation. Is it necessary to format the hard drive first? Have backed up all my data (there was not a lot), but wonder if there is something else I need to know before you continue. Any help would be much appreciated.

  Hello

  I m a bit confused because I have too many Satellite P500 and, as far as I know, this laptop model comes with 64-bit only.
  Can you please tell us what P500 you exactly (P500-xxx)?

  You are right; before installation Win7 HDD needs to be formatted. If you have installed the OS in the past, I guess you know how it works.
  Associated with Toshiba here are two things you should know before starting with the installation of Win7 64 bit:
  # Create recovery with the original Toshiba image DVDs. This disk, you can use if you want to have the factory settings once again.
  # Drivers, tools and utilities must be installed in the proper installation order. If you ned some hep with it let us know.

  I'm sure that it will be supported!

• Satellite P500-153 - need remote control for Windows Media Center

  I have a satellite P500-153, but without a remote mainenance (for housing expresscard).
  The suplier said I can buy it at the internetstore of toshiba, but I can't find a few anywhere!

  Maybe someone knows where I can get it or can give me the produktkey / the name of the remote maintenance.

  Hello

  As much as I know a few P500D Satellite P500 and X 500 series have been equipped with a remote control of size or a size slim (for express card slot) remote
  But as I said that some and not all units contains this remote.

  I think you should get in touch with a local ASP in your country.
  The authorized service provider could provide a compatible remote control.
  If this part is not in stock then the guys could order directly from Toshiba.

• Satellite P500 turns off most since re install Windows7

  Hi all

  Toshiba satellite laptop
  series: P
  Model: P500
  Model number: PSPGSE
  Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium edition

  Following a final crash of the original hard disk, so I changed the drive and performed a complete re-installation of windows7 (an original touch and put my original).
  Subsequently I have re installed the driver via the toshiba site (most importantly, so no software supplied automatically with PC purchase), and that all are present according to device (of interrogation or other point of warning) Manager.
  More through the touslesdriver.com site, I added their scanning software small told the pilot to missing day or not (so basic but all seems normal...)

  Windows of decanting finished and I started to update the drivers, windows out never normally, menu, start, stop, closing the session and after that bogus on "stoppage of work" until the "Blue Shield (about 10 minutes later, a solution or the button works / stop)."
  Single point, drivers arrive to their windows or windows installation to restart, but the problem always comes back.

  Then in normal mode, no messages or any other information that makes me say that there is a problem, but when close windows here is barattes in a vacuum no solution other than the button walk / stop (I also tried ms config: stop all, same effect).

  Now in safe mode gives the change!

  Beginning and end of windows that is no problem!

  Still in safe mode, the device section driver, then display devices, 'plug and play' shocks only information is that an exclamation mark on 'Security processor loader driver' is not visible outside the safe mode.

  No possibility of anything and much too much different information on the net which could help me solve this exclamation point and certainly my problem?

  Hello

  I own P500 too, but I use it with the new HARD drive but with the original recovery image (Win7 64 bit) I've had with her. Why have problems such as you, when I can have perfectly installed OS. That do after the installation of recovery image's own upward and the optimization of the OS. I have delete all things I don't no need and turn off all unnecessary processes that can slow down my system.
  I m really wondering why you do the same and use OS without a few installation issues.

  In any case, after reading your ad I didn t understand what your problem is, but what I can say is follow:
  Satellite P500 is fully supported for Win7 so you do not have some third-party software of the part for the detection of drivers and similar useless diagnosis. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  On this virtual path, I can't tell what your problem and how to fix it. I know, it's that the whole available drivers on the Toshiba download page are tested and are part of the original image recovery.
  I think either you should reinstall the OS using original recovery image and remove all the stuff, you need or reinstall Win7 clean and begins to install the drivers, tols and utilities Toshiba download page only.

  Order of installation:
  Windows 7
  Chipset SW installation utility
  Intel Management Engine Interface
  Display driver
  Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver
  TOSHIBA supervisor password utility
  TOSHIBA HW utility
  TOSHIBA Value Added Package
  O2 card reader controller
  Audio driver
  Wireless LAN driver

• Satellite P500 (PSPE8U) - can not find the drivers for it

  Hello

  I've been and down these forums without success. I watched a lot of forums for the drivers for my P500. I've been through the pages of support sites toshiba of Europe, Uk, Australia and Japan... no chance either. I tried to contact the ebay seller I bought, apparently it is now out of business. It goes without saying that the laptop came without any driver disk. Unfortunately, one of the drives died on me and had no time to do a recovery with all the drivers disk. So now I'm really stuck. Here are the details of the laptop should anyone have brain waves for me-

  P500 - PSPE8U
  Windows Vista 64-bit
  ATI HD 4650

  At the time the largest bad head are the video drivers and my battery life is around 30 mins without the toshiba software. The stock of the resolution is a disaster without the correct driver. I tried the ATI46 drivers * from their site, but the application tells me that my hardware is not supported.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you
  Chris

  Hi Chris,

  Satellite P500 with model PSPE8U number belongs to the US models and therefore all the drivers and tools that you can find on the Toshiba U.S. page:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

  Just check the underside of your laptop again for the exact model as P500-S1234 number, then you can find the right drivers for your model. :)

  Everyone is having these problems with laptops out there?

  Hi Sammole,

  Sinus a few days that I have too many Satellite P500. I must say that it s a very big book, I love it. The screen is really good and big and in my opinion the best option for games, videos and other multimedia stuff. In addition it s equipped of the fast processor and a graphics card, ideal for playing games.

  All my games work well so I put t know what has happened to you. Make sure that the eco mode isn't active, this will slow down the performance.
  Also make sure that the most recent display Toshiba driver is installed and the latest version of Microsoft DirectX.

  Also check homepage of Splinter Cell. There may be an update (patch) available who can help you. :)

• Satellite P500-1DX will not accept password

  Satellite P500-1DX - Windows 7.
  Not connected this morning no problem, return to work will not accept password.
  Had not implemented the password reset disk, but have one created from my old laptop which is vista OS.

  However, when I enter the P500 it runs the wizard and an error occurs.
  The laptop has perfectly to update Norton 360 on it is probably not a virus.

  All ideas

  Hello

  What password do you mean exactly?
  BIOS or Windows user password?

  If you're talking about BIOS password then I have some bad news for you; You cannot reset a unknown BIOS password. Only a Toshiba ASP technician may remove unknown BIOS password.
  But if you talk to windows user password, then you could reset/clear the password by the new installation of the operating system for this you can use a HARD drive recovery option.

  PS: I found this article on resetting a password account user in Vista or Windows 7. I did not try it, but some people on the net reported that the account password could be changed successfully

• Satellite P500 - AutoPlay message

  I have a Sony memory card in my Satellite P500 dedicated to ReadyBoost. It seems to work very well, but there is a minor irritation.

  Quite often (= several times a day) an autorun message appears on the screen asking if I want to see the files on the card via Windows Explorer. I have not, of course, as there is only a single file ReadyBoost on the map. Message offers a range of automatic game options but these are content-music, pictures etc - but no car, so a memory card can not be identified.

  As I say, it's only a minor irritation but is anyone know how I can convince my machine this auto run does not apply to my memory card?

  Thank you very much
  David

  HomeGuard salvation,

  Have you tried another flash card? You can also use for example and for ReadyBoost SD cards too. The current map of memory may be defective
  Check this box!

  Last but not least, you can try updating the driver for the card reader. You can download the Toshiba site so it s worth a try!

  By the way: you may notice a performance using ReadyBoost gain? I tried but I couldn't t notice a big difference.

• Satellite A500 - slower with videos on Windows 7

  Hi, I desperately need advice, I am 78 years old and going into the wall.

  My Satellite A500 / 03P was bought with preinstalled Vista and worked fine. My particular interest is the functioning and the creation of video clips from training for other seniors, like video purchased has worked, stutter free. I took the offer to upgrade to Windows 7 and bought the upgrade, things went quickly downhill since. Installing Windows 7 became crazy during the installation, I have to take the computer to a maintenance shop. He was returned with Windows 7 installed, but has been considerably slower with videos run from the hard drive stuttering, worse still, my connection Internet ADSL2 running about 1.25 m bits per second.

  After a while I got to service man and $ 200 later was provided with a dual boot hard drive, Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7. The system is practically unusable for video. I downloaded and installed all the 32 and 64-bit drivers provided by Toshiba but had to give up the 64-bit completely as unusable. I tried to install another copy of Vista Ultimate, bought for my old desktop PC, but could not get Internet to work, either directly or via the WIFI on the laptop.

  I tried to run the Toshiba on the 32-bit Windows 7, but the laptop is too slow, that even my email creeps to e-mail readere. Any advice would be most appreciated that my pension will not bear the costs of local peoples. Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.

  Concerning
  LeslieB

  Hi Leslie,.

  I m really wondering why your A500 has so many problems with Windows 7. From my own experience I can say it s really great and better than Vista OS. I use 1.5 years now and everything is working a lot on it.

  In any case, did you check if all devices are properly installed in Device Manager and if there is no yellow exclamation?
  When you watch videos, have you selected the power profile high performance in Windows?

  > Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.
  That would be an option, Yes.
  You don t have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If this isn't the case, you can get it from a provider of service authorized in your country.

• Satellite P500-190 stuck in a loop

  Well, I try to summarize what has happened so far.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P500-190 has started acting as each task is too big for him, constantly showing disk hard loading, programs did not respond for a while... then I ran the reconverty tool, reset the c drive, the problem still there.

  I ran all the error detection of characteristics of pc, no hardware problems or software detected. So I installed malwarebytes anti-malware and ran a scan, it finds errors, but before I could act, the program froze again no response. Press ctrl alt del, black screen, no response... reboot. Now my dosent pc even trying to start windows, only error detection program and each restart goes like this, even after going through the program as it is said.
  I tried to get to the other menus of repair, but it says I must be logged in to do this.

  Any ideas how to continue?

  Hi bug

  Please reinstall the recovery image and boot OS without having to install additional stuff.
  Do not connect to the internet and check the functionality. Open some pre-installed apps and see if they will not work correctly.

  Play around with these factory settings and let us know if there is a problem.

  How old is your Satellite P500?
