  Hello

  May I ask if you have checked the system requirements for Civilization 4 first? Before you try to play a game, you should check the system requirments. Is the laptop fast enough and very important: the graphics card is compatible with this game?
  Check this box!

  If you meet the system requirements make sure that the latest Toshiba display driver is installed. Don t use the driver from nVidia directly, it doesn t have a protection against overheating.

  And you have installed the latest version of DirectX?

• Satellite P500 - Eco, speaker and touchpad on/off button does not work

  Hello

  I love my new Satellite P500. Great laptop!

  But I have a little problem with the eco, "speaker" one button touch pad touch power button. They do not work! 2 days ago that I updated my Windows 7 after the same problem. Today, I have the problem again.

  I tried an option where I can support this button, but no result.

  Is it possible to reinstall?
  I installed the software eco again, but it will not work with the button on the left side. Same thing with the touchpad on/off button.

  Any idea?
  Thank you

  Alexander

  Hello

  Nice to read are do you like your new Satellite P500. My friend also bought new Satellite P500 and it is also very satisfied. It s a large notebook with fast and new hardware features. The design is fantastic, I must say.

  Anyway, you can reinstall the eco and Toshiba Value added Package utility that controls these special functions. The two utilities that you can get on the Toshiba page:

  Good luck! :)

• 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.

• Satellite P500/020 is too quiet

  I just bought a new Satellite P500 and at full volume, is not yet strong enough to watch a movie, unless I have use headphones.

  The audio output is also very poor, I have some external speakers that my old laptop will distort easily, this one wont.
  I tried to adjust all volume controls and play with dolby but it just seems to have a very low output.

  Could this be related to win7? I had to leave my old laptop when I want to listen to. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I had a similar problem in Vista and Win7 and I need to check the sound settings and make sure that noise was going to the speakers rather than another device.

  Right click of its (speaker) icon on the toolbar and check that the playback device is correctly set to 'speakers' - Mine also says Conexant Pebble high definition Smart Audio Defalt Device.

  There is also a Volume Mixer here option to balance the sounds throughout the system for dfferent applications. Here I have also noticed that when you start a player or the browser you get a new option for its control so double check it when you start your movie.

  Good luck

• Satellite P500 - after update BIOS on the numeric keypad does not work anymore

  I just had a Satellite P500 and am running Windows 7. I downloaded all the latest drivers and updated the system BIOS to version 1.70 (from Toshiba support website). Now, my numeric keypad of the keyboard does not work.

  The NumLock light is on and when I hit the key "6" on the pavement, he turns the power light, but the behavior of the other keys does not change that it is on or off. The '-' key to enter a '6', but none of the other keys (except "enter" does nothing.

  I removed the keyboard driver and rebooted to reinstall the keyboard driver, but has no effect. The keyboard has worked for a few days after that I flashed the bios but seems to have stopped since I started using a USB mouse. I tried to uninstall the USB mouse driver, but who have nothing do either (it was a Logitech driver).

  Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

  > I did not upgrade bios 1.7
  Maybe you should try upgrading the BIOS
  As another user has suggested upgrading the BIOS 1.7 helped, even if the end user has updated the BIOS twice

• Satellite P500-193 - how to disable the multimedia Panel?

  Hello!

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite P500-193. It's great, but I have a problem. During online games and other games my hand sometimes 'click' on the media panel and then windows media player star and game is minimazes in the bar system :(

  How can I turn off this Panel the temporary? Photo of this Panel: http://yfrog.com/87toshibasatellitep50002j

  Hey Buddy,

  I checked my Satellite P500 and it seems that you can disable temporary t these buttons of illumination.
  You can completely disable the buttons of the illumination in the BIOS (the BIOS setup > advanced > System Setup). There is an option called function key. You must set it to disabled.

  But I m wondering about this problem, I put t he have while playing games. Alternative, you can connect an external keyboard to play games. :)

• 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.
